How to duplicate a movie symbol

(sorry, this was in the wrong forum I think) but anyway....
I have a stage that has some movie symbols, and they are
controlled by actionscript 2.
so when you click on the small movie it will load text
content in an area lower on the stage.
works fine....
so how do I duplicate this movie so it will do the same thing
and be clickable.
I select duplicate symbol and give it a different name, and I
drag it onto the stage, but the move does not allow me to click on
it. It seems it has the same settings as the original and also in
the script (i created the same code that worked for the source
movie, that should work with the new one, ie changing variable
names)
is there something I am missing?
using cs3 flash
thanks

How can I mass move symbols with their motion paths without creating new keyframes?

I want to move a lot of symbols all at once if they are off centered or just need to be moved around to see differenr styles across the document, but I can't seem to move a lot of the symbols at once, only one at a time slexting their motion paths. It's rather annoying when I have items coming in at different times and have to re line everything up one by one if I want to move things even over by 1 px. Every time I slecect all my symbols and try to move them it just creates a new keyframe that they follow. Is there any tool or certian way to select the symbols and/or thier motion paths and move them without creating new key frames?

Hi,
There's no direct way of moving all the symbols/ motion tweens begining at different frames altogether, but the following steps should help you do it -
1. Select a motion path on stage, goto Properties panel > Options menu (top left corner) and enable - Always show Motion Paths.
2. Enable - Edit Multiple Frames option in the Timeline.
3. Adjust the frame-markers in Timeline to show all your symbols, motion paths etc.
4. Now that you see all your symbols and motion paths together, Select-all and Move them together. Or, use Shift + click to selectively select the Motion paths/objects and move them.
Let me know if you have any doubts..

How to add actionscript to a movie symbol

I am a complete newbie to actionscript and flash. I am using
Flash CS3 with Mac OSX.
I need to know how to add actionscript to a movie symbol?
I made a circle and coverted it into movie symbol. After
selecting it and opening Windows > Actions, it says that the
currect selection can not have actions applied to it.
I have also tried ticking the Export for actionscript option
and leaving the default options on, but still no use.
can someone please help me?

ticking Export for actionscript isnt doing anything for you,
thats to attach a movie from the library... click your movie clip
symbol, in the properties panel, click where it says 'Instance
Name', and give it a unique name, lets say, my_mc. then in an
actions layer, ON A KEYFRAME, add this
my_mc.onRelease
or
my_mc.onRollOver
or
my_mc.onRollOut
and so on, but that's how you reference the movie clip... by
its instance name

How to import a flash swf file in premier. Without loosing the animation of the movie symbols.

HEEELLPPP!!
I am doing animations in flash... and then putting them in premier as a SWF file..
but when I do that, the animation does not work properly..
example : If its a star that spins, and goes from left to right.
When I put the swf file in premier.. the star only goes from left to right.. without the spin...
(the spin was an animation made inside the movie symbol of the star)
from the forum of flash they send me here.

from the Premiere Pro Help section about importing SWF files:
" Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained."

How do you copy a Symbol to other fla without importing it?

If I try to copy or move a symbol from one fla to another, it
automatically gets imported, i.e. in the new fla the symbol has in
its properties a source pointer, to where it was taken from. How
can i copy a symbol for real, or "clone" it, into another fla
library, without importing it? If I go to an imported symbols
properties, how can I cancel the source option? I don't see a
button for removing the source pointer.
There has to be some way to make the symbol an independent
symbol without any relation to its source fla???

Funny thing is, both if i copy and paste the symbol, or drag
it from another library, the symbol in the destination .fla gets
"imported" with information about its source (in the symbol
properties). I guess either my Flash has some funny settings, or is
not working as it is supposed to?? Maybe I should reinstall it. I
have found one way to break the "import" by making "duplicate" of
the symbol, and then deleting the original, and renaming the
duplicate back to the original name. Of course, this method is too
tedious if I wanna copy hundreds of symbols.

I am using FCPX 10.1.3. and want to duplicate my project, and its complete resources, to a different hard drive. When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive. How do duplicate to a different hard drive

I am using FCPX 10.1.3. with Yosemite, and want to duplicate my project and its complete resources to a different hard drive. When I click "duplicate", it automatically duplicates the project in its current hard drive, unlike the previous FCPX that gave you options. How do duplicate to a different hard drive?

Since projects are now stored in events and events are stored in libraries, you need to create a new l;bray on that different drive or open an existing library on that drive. Then duplicate your project and move it to the new library. It will copy the media. Then use the Consolidate Project File command to round up any external assets; there may or may not be any.

Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there. With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do? I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart. I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly. I used audacity to reverse the audio.
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks

How can I add a symbol on top of text in Iweb?

Hi there,
How can I add a symbol on top of a text box in iweb. When I add it, the symbol moves to the left or right of the text instead of right on top of it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here I clicked out side of any text box and drew a star from the shapes panel.

How to duplicate Events/Projects with only Proxies.

I'm on a MBP Retina, with 500GB SSD. Running Mountain Lion and FCPX 10.0.5.
I have a 3TB Seagate drive.
I encoded all my footage to ProRes 422 first, then imported that as original media into my current Project. That footage is over 1TB in disk space.
I then created Proxies of all that, and am pleased at the performance, and file size of the proxies.
Now I want to copy my Event/Project to a smaller drive that only has 400 GB available (I measured my Proxies footage folder and it's only over 100GB. So plenty of space).
I've viewed tutorials on the dangers of duplicating in the Finder, and that everything must be duplicated or copied within FCPX.
So my question: How can I take my current Event/Project and Proxy versions only, and go home and edit, and then come back to the office and move my updated Project file and relink and keep moving with my bigger versions stored on my 3TB drive? What's the step-by-step?
Thanks,
Chris.

Here is a possible way to go about this:
Duplicate (or move) all projects to the backup drive. Duplicate the event to the backup drive.
Click on each copied project from the backup drive (you don't need to open its timeline), go to the Inspector and click on "Modify Event References". There you will get a list with two events (the one on the original disk and the copy you just made). Move the new copy to the top an click ok. Now your projects will reference the versions of your clips in the copied event, and you can safely delete the originals.

HOW CAN I SEND FIELD SYMBOL TO SUBROUTINE

HAI,
         HOW CAN I SEND FIELD SYMBOL TO SUBROUTINE
         HOW CAN I COME BACK FROM 5TH INTERACTIVE REROT TO 2ND
INTERACTIVE REPORT.
THANK YOU.
ASHOK

Hi
Write some code in the program to come to 2nd list from 5th list
if sy-lsind = 5.
   sy-lsind = 2.
endif.
for field symbols see the doc
Field Symbols
Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

Syntax Diagram
FIELD-SYMBOLS
Basic form
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs>.
Extras:
1. ... TYPE type
2. ... TYPE REF TO cif
3. ... TYPE REF TO DATA
4. ... TYPE LINE OF type
5. ... LIKE s
6. ... LIKE LINE OF s
7. ... TYPE tabkind
8. ... STRUCTURE s DEFAULT wa
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Untyped Field Symbols ad Cannot Use Field Symbols as Components of Classes.
Effect
This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN. All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
You can only use one of the additions.
Example
Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT> TYPE ANY.
DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
WRITE <PT>.
Addition 1
... TYPE type
Addition 2
... TYPE REF TO cif
Addition 3
... TYPE REF TO DATA
Addition 4
... TYPE LINE OF type
Addition 5
... LIKE s
Addition 6
... LIKE LINE OF s
Addition 7
... TYPE tabkind
Effect
You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
Effect
Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP Dictionary (s). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname. The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT.
The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s. If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
Example
Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.

Where do I see how many photos (and movies) are in my Revel library?

I see no place that states how many photos or movies are in Revel.

Hi Pattie,
Thanks for the reply...but here's the status:
A.
I'm in the Revel program downloaded on my desktop...not on its web site...and I made an album but can't find any place where it shows the number of photos in that album.
As I view Mel's Library page and go to: View/Added By there is a total in the upper left corner that shows the total photos Added by ME.
But when viewing photos in my library: View/ All Photos by Date in either Grid or Track there is no total anywhere on the page. Each track has it's total and that's it.
I don't understand how Revel ID's a Duplicate.
A window, Skipped Photos, pops up and states, "X photos were duplicates" indicating that they were not uploaded - and that is supported by the math (in 3 out of 5 uploads): Selected photos minus Videos and Dupes = # of photos uploaded.
However, on the last upload of 2000 Selected photos, the window said there were 2 duplicates. I counted 19 identical photos! Also without Revel identifying what the dupes actually were (by its reckoning) I have no way of determining what was not uploaded. All VERY confusing.
When uploading using the download program on my laptop Revel won't upload videos.
B.
I went to the website and yes, when I click on the album it shows the photo count at the bottom. However, in order to get to the bottom of 10,000+ photos in the Library is a major and lengthy process as clicking on the side bar only takes me down a few photos with each click...and not to the end! There's no way to easily get to the bottom! Scrolling the photos is equally slow and useless when all I'm trying to see is the total count! click on Sort oldest 1st and the newest go to the top! and the reverse is true of the other!

How to make it move correctly?

I made a simple Flex application. There is a helicopter which
will move to points that user clicks in the canvas. For example, it
is at A point. When I click at B point, the helicopter will move to
B. Then it will move to C when I click at C.
However, the problem arises when I click at B, C, D
continuously. It moved from A to B. However, I don't think it moved
from B to C. Maybe it moved from B' to C.
Please tell me how to make it move correctly.

Make clicking disabled when the helicopter is moving. So
right after a click, disable clicking.
There are many coding possibilities for doing so. Make your
own, then add the code below after it:
MoveEffect.addEventListener("effectEnd",
callHandlerFunctionOfSomeSort);
private function callHandlerFunctionOfSomeSort(e:Event):void
// In this section, re-enable it using your own method.
Good luck!

How can I transfer movies from one apple to another

How can I transfer movies form my macbook pro to my apple air?

If you have a wireless network, you can enable file sharing with each and transfer select data from one to the other via your wi-fi network.
Or if you have an external drive used for backup purposes, you can transfer the movies that way.
If you have Home Sharing enabled with iTunes on each and a wireless network, you don't need to transfer anything unless you want the movie available when away from home.

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?
