SimpleButton has become active in symbol editor and won't let me select or delete it

Hello all,
After weeks of editing symbols without any trouble, I'm suddenly having trouble with a movie clip in the symbol editor of Flash CS4: the simpleButton in there that I want to delete has somehow become active inside the editor--meaning it's roll over state is active, lighting up when I mouse over it--and it only animates  and shows me its mouse down animation when I mouse over and click on it, instead of letting me select the button so I can just delete it.
Note that only this one button type is now active in all versions of it in symbol editor, the other simpleButtons are still normal and editable in the symbol editor.
Does anyone know why Flash is doing this?  Is there a way to deactivate active buttons in symbol editing mode so I can edit them?
~Ethan

thanks for responding!
I'm afraid my flash file is 26 megabytes in size.. is there a way to make it smaller in size for when I rename it as a swf file? (I turned most all my graphics into vector graphics with trace bitmap, yet strangely, my file size just got heinously larger instead of modestly larger..)

  • Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

    Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).

    Hello,
    I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
    I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
    The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
    and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
    The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
    Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
    thanks for any help.

    Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
    Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
    Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

  • TS4009 I have followed the steps above but when I get to the screen to select a downgraded option, the  Done button is grayed out and won't let me select a new option. I see a lock up in top right-hand corner, but not sure how to unlock it.

  • How do i add more sounds and loops  the link is grey and won't let me select it

    how do i buy more loops and sounds on my garage band 11 the link is grey and wont let me select it

    the link is grey and wont let me select it
    What is your GarageBand version? In GarageBand 10.0 you can buy more sounds by an in-app purchase. If this link is greyed out, you either already bought it and should see "Restore Purchase" instead, or you are in a a country, where you cannot update GarageBand, because you bought it in a differnet country.
    To check, if you already have installed the in-app purchase, select a Drummer track and open the Library panel. If you have more than the one drummer "socal", you already have the in-app purchase installed.
    Another way to get more sounds and loops is to buy MainStage. This will give you the loops and sounds that come with the Jam Packs, plus many Logic sounds.

  • HT4623 My iphone has 7.85gb of "other" space and won't let me update because of lack of space. How can I get rid of this "other" space?

    I am trying to update my wifes 4s to iOS 7 but her "other" has so much space taken up that it will not update. How can i get rid of "other" data space?

    Restart the computer and the iPhone might resolve a backup issue. Also, try resetting the iPhone by holding both the sleep/wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo reappears. Afterward, attempt to restore again.
    Before you restore,  consider a few other things... One particular onging thread regarding "other" data has users finding that text messages with photos and/or videos taking up the "other" space. Deleting those text conversations helps regain space. (Before deleting, transfer any photos and videos you want to keep to your camera roll or computer.) In addition, check for any deleted phone voicemail messages and delete those to as well as voice memos.
    If you decide to restore, the recommendation is to restore as new phone because the backup probably has the "other" data.

  • When I go to search web pages on safari my screen has a grey cover over page and won't let me click on items?, When I go to search web pages on safari my screen has a grey cover over page and won't let me click on items?

    When I go to search the web on safari my screen is greyed out and I can't click on any anything. What should i do?

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1977 My Computer crashed so I have had to download iTunes all over again. The problem is now I can't sync my Apps to my iTunes. It doesn't let me arrange them or anything when plugging my iPad in. The screen is greylike and won't let me select anything

    Hi Guys,
    My computer crashed and I lost everything. I got a new one and downloaded itunes all over again. When I plug my ipad in even after authorising my computer it will still not let me edit anything on the ipad. The screen is grey like on the ipad section and i cant select an app or anything. I have transfered purchase apps but all it does is take movies and tv shows accross. It wont transfer the apps into itunes. Please help

    As far as I know, iTunes will still not change anything until you click on Apply in the lower right corner. I fiddle with my settings all the time - just so I can get a sense if what to expect should I make any changes - and I have never seen anything happen to my configuration unless I click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. Not only that - you have turned off auto sync so as far as I know you still have to click on sync or apply in order for the iPad to sync with iTunes.
    That doesn't mean it will not happen, I've never seen it happen - is all that I'm saying. I'm sorry but I'm not sure what will happen, but the only reason that I can of why the apps will not transfer is because of the manual manage setting. I could be wrong about that as well.
    Look at this discussion - which I have referred quite a few users to read. I know this process has worked for a number of people that have read it and used the instructions in it. Maybe we are missing something - what that would be - I'm not quite sure, but take a look.

  • Duplicates of a song on iPhone 4s but not in iTunes. Unable to delete duplicate. Won't play and won't let you swipe to delete. Any ideas on how to do so without resetting the phone?

    I have duplicates of a song on an album. One of the duplicates is grey with no album cover. When you attempt to swite and delete, the track will not delete and will not even play. I've contacted iTunes store and the person I received the support email from told me that it may not be downloaded. I emailed him back and explained that no there is no download for that song in my itunes store on my phone.
    One I never received an answer back which shows you how well these people do their job.
    Two: I really would prefer to have a solution to this problem without having to delete all of my music from my phone or resetting my phone. Because this duplicate isn't even showing up in my iTunes, it's only showing up on my phone.
    When I attempt to find it in my itunes it plays fine. But when I try to find the file to delete it, it is no where to be found. I've tried everything that I could think of to get rid of it. And I don't want to leave the album/artist off my phone because I do enjoy their music... And I have the microsoft sync in my car.
    Anyone got any ideas on how to do this without resetting the phone and/or taking my music off?

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • TS3999 ios7 iCloud Calendar changed calendar color and won't let me select a different color.

    I updated my iphone 4s to ios7 without issue, then I got my iphone 5s and restored from my 4s' backup. Everything worked smoothly and great, except that one of my calendars had their color changed (from orange to purple).  Now I already have a purple calendar, which is why this is problem.  I have attempted to change my calendar color several time, and I get no error and it look like it works great but a few seconds later it changes itself back to purple.  Not the most critical bug, but very annoying.  I have attempted to change the color both on my phone and on icould.com, but neither work.

    Quit iCal.
    Drag the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iCal to the desktop.
    Delete the iCal preference files (again).
    Delete folder ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices.
    Restart iCal.
    Verify that you can add and modify calendars.
    If you can, open the Sources folder in iCal folder that you put on the desktop. There will be one folder in it for each of your former calendars. Open each in turn and drop the corestorage.ics file onto the iCal icon. This should import your former calendars.

    During an app update it froze and has said waiting for 2 days and I am unable to open or delete. How do I recover my app?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
