Switch symbols inside another symbol

hello!
I have a parent symbol (symbolA) that contain another symbol (symbolB). when I click on the inner symbolB, I want to make it switch with a third symbol (symbolC) always inside the symbolA
I can't find a solution yet
many thanks,
mirko

Scope in Edge is the hardest. I just posted a sample that should help you.

But for your case here it is:
sym.getSymbol('symbolA').$('symbolB').click(function(){
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol('symbolA').$('symbolC).play();
or
sym.getSymbol('symbolA').$('symbolB').click(function(){
sym.getSymbol('symbolA').$('symbolC).play();

How to access a variable from inside another symbol

So i did this tutorial, Leveraging Independent Symbol Timelines created by Eliane...it's rockin, btw. ;-)
All's well but now i have a symbol on the stage called mc-home. inside of mc-home is a button called btn-go.
On the stage in composition ready there's a variable sym.setVariable("current", "mc-home");
This code works for a symbol that's on the stage but, how do i get this code to work on a button that's inside another symbol that's on the stage?
var current = sym.getVariable("current");
if (current != "") {
sym.getSymbol(current).play("OUT");
sym.getSymbol("mc-something").play("IN");
sym.setVariable("current", "mc-something");

sorry, i was kind of confused myself too, don't worry about it but thanks for your patience for reading it anyway

Get the ID of a dynamically created symbol from library, INSIDE another symbol.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get the id from a dynamic created symbol from library.
When dynamically creating the symbol directly on the stage (or composition level), there's no problem.
But I just can't get it to work when creating the symbol inside another symbol.
Below some examples using both "getChildSymbols()" and "aSymbolInstances"
// USING "getChildSymbols()" /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// ON THE STAGE
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage");
var symbolChildren = sym.getChildSymbols();
console.log(symbolChildren[0].getSymbolElement().attr('id')); // ok eid_1391853893203
// INSIDE ANOTHER SYMBOL
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement());
var symbolChildren = sym.getSymbol("holder").getChildSymbols(); // Am i using this wrong maybe?
console.log(symbolChildren.length) // returns 0 so can't get no ID either
// USING "aSymbolInstances"" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// ON THE STAGE
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage");
console.log(sym.aSymbolInstances[0]); // ok (i guess) x.fn.x.init[1] 0: div#eid_1391854141436
// INSIDE ANOTHER SYMBOL
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement());
console.log(sym.getSymbol("holder").aSymbolInstances[0]); // Javascript error in event handler! Event Type = element
In this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5691824 is written: "mySym.aSymbolInstances will give you an array with all "names" when you create symbols"
Could it be this only works on the stage/ composition level only and not inside a symbol?
The following methods to achieve the same are indeed possible, but i simply DON'T want to use them in this case:
1) Storing a reference of the created symbol in an array and call it later by index.
2) Giving the items an ID manually on creation and use document.getElementById() afterwards.
I can't believe this isn't possible. I am probably missing something here.
Forgive me I am a newbie using Adobe Edge!
I really hope someone can help me out here.
Anyway, thnx in advance people!
Kind Regards,
Lester.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response!
True this is also a possibility. But this method is almost the same of "Giving the items an ID manually on creation and use document.getElementById() afterwards".
In this way (correct me if i'm wrong) you have to give it an unique ID yourself. In a (very) big project this isn't the most practical way.
Although I know it is possible.
Now when Edge creates a symbol dynamically on the Stage (or composition level) or inside another symbol it always gives the symbol an ID like "eid_1391853893203".
I want to reuse this (unique) ID given by Edge after creation.
If created on the stage directly you can get this ID very easy. Like this;
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage");
var symbolChildren = sym.getChildSymbols();
console.log(symbolChildren[0].getSymbolElement().attr('id')); // ok eid_1391853893203
I want to do exactly the same when created INSIDE another symbol.
var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement());
Now how can I accomplish this? How can I get the Id of a dynamically created symbol INSIDE another symbol instead of created directly on the stage?
This is what i'm after.
Thnx in advance!

Camera switch symbol disappeared.

I have Xperia Z1. It was working fine n had been sitting in drawer for about 6 months. Now I started using it again. The phone works fine but the Camera switch symbol is not there. Therefore I can switch to front camera.
Any solutions??

You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

Scheduling one background job inside another

Hi All,
Is it possible to Scheduling one background job inside another.? i.e In my Z program I am calling job_open, job_submit, job_close and to execute one standard report in background. And after that I am executing my Z program itself from SE38 as Program->Execute->Background->Execute Immediately. Is this logically correct? I am asking this because I am not getting the desired result
Thanks & Regards,

How can I insert a folder inside another folder

is it possible to have sub folders
I want to create 3 main folder
MainFolder 1, mainfolder2, mainfolder3
And I want to have 5 folders inside mainfolder 1
so when the user click on mainfolder 1 , will see 5 folder in it , not next to it
sincerely yours
Riade Asleh

So far I have not got any solution
i want a folder inside another folder
for example
i have to main folders , folder 1 , folder2
folder1.top =25
folder1.left =10
folder2.top =25
folder2.left =115
now, I wan a sub folders inside folder1
subfolder1.top =50 not 25
subfolder1.left =30
I dont' want the subfolder1 to have the same top as folder1.top
it's seems that all folders must have the same top value
because when I changed the value of the subfolder1.top to 50, the value of folder1.top, and folder2.top changed to 50, in which i don't want it to behave like that
if you have a sample code, please sent it to me
sincerely yours

How to use one hash table inside another hash table

Hi everyone,
Any example of hash table inside another hash table.
Can one here help me how to write one hash table inside another with repeating keys for the first hash table.
Thanks,
kanty.

Do you mean you want the 'value' entries in a hash table to themselves be hash tables? Easy but this often indicates a design flaw.
Hashtable<String,<Hashtable<String,Value>> fred = new Hashtable<String,<Hashtable<String,Value>> ();But what do you mean by "with repeating keys for the first hash table"?
Edited by: sabre150 on Jul 2, 2010 10:11 PM
Looks like you have already handled the declaration side in your other thread. I suspect you should be writing your own beans that hold the information and these beans would then be stored in a Map. The problem I have is that your description is too vague so I can't be certain.

Retreiving the file names from directory inside another directory from application server

Hi,
I had a problem in retreiving the file names from a directory inside another directory.
I tried using the FM's SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST, RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL and EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
But here I am getting only one directory details.
Actually my file is located a directory inside one more directory and one more directory and inside the files are located.
i.e total 3 directories inside the 3rd one my files are there.
I need to read the latest file name in the directory.
So that i can do some manipulation after getting the file name.
Is there option like OPEN DATASET , READ DATASET and CLOSE DATASET?
Can anyone please let me know How can i acheive this one.

Problem in reading an object inside another obj in C thru JNI

Hi All,
I am passing a java class object from Jave to C thru JNI.
This object has many integer fields + one object of another class, which also has some fields.
I am able to read integer fields from C but not able to read fields inside another object.
Can anyone plz help me in reading the object inside another object from C.
I m pasting class here for better understanding :
public class ImageMergeInformation {
public ImageInformation outputImageInfo;
public ImageInformation[] inputImageInfo = new ImageInformation[8];
public int topMargin;
public int bottomMargin;
I wanna read ImageInformation obj.
Plz help me...
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Sneha

You have to get the field id (getFieldID) of the variable you want, e.g. outputImageInfo, then get the object (getObjectField) in that field. At this point, you can start over (get the class, get the field id, get the object).

How to put an MSO inside another MSO

Hello all!
An interesting question came up in the following post by Folobo:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4572897#4572897
"Is it possible to use a slideshow embedded in a big overlay slideshow?"
I'd like to rephrase this question:
"Is it possible to put a MultiStateObject (MSO) inside another MultiStateObject?"
And further: if the answer is "yes", could we put that to use with the DPS?
@Folobo – this is an interesting question. A quick test is showing that you cannot do it in the UI (correct me if I'm wrong).
Let's try it this way:
If you have two objects:
1. an MSO #1 (with two rectangles, rectangle #1, rectangle #2)
2. Another rectangle on the page: rectangle #3
Now select the two objects and make an MSO out of it (using the "Object States" panel).
You would think, now I get an MSO with two states, state 1 with rectangle #3 together with state 2 with MSO #1.
But not so:
Result: One new MSO with three states (rectangle #1, rectangle #2, rectangle #3)
Hm. I don't give up on that. Let's try it another way:
Could we select at least two objects inside a state of an MSO and make that a new MSO?
Sure, We could select two objects inside a state, but since we are *inside* an MSO the "Object States" panel does not show the possibility to make a new MSO. You can only add states or add objects to states…
Frustrating. End of story? Maybe…
Be forewarned. The following is highly experimental!
Let's try it by scripting (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
The scripting reference is showing that an MSO "MultiStateObject" object has an add()-method. And further on, that add()-method could be applied to:
Document
Spread
MasterSpread
Page
Layer
pageItem
And that is the key to a possible solution. We could add a new MSO to a "pageItem" object.
A simple rectangle should be qualify for a "pageItem" object; and that, of course, could reside in a state of an MSO.
So, we could add a new MSO to a rectangle inside of a MSO!
How can we access a rectangle inside a MSO? Easy: We could select it and work with that selection.
So let's do that: select the rectangle in the first state of an MSO and run this one-line-script (be sure you did select the rectangle and not the MSO or one of its states:
app.selection[0].multiStateObjects.add();
We now have an MSO inside another MSO!
Explanation:
A "generic MSO" was added with the add()-function to a selection (the container object: in our case the selected rectangle).
The "generic MSO" is a two state MSO consisting of one rectangle in each state of a very small size (10px x 10px).
At first it is invisible, because it is very likely that it is positioned outside the geometric bounds of its container object (the rectangle).
But we can customize this!
Go to the layers palette and select the new MSO, move it inside the geometric bounds of its container object, readjust its size, add states as you wish, populate the states with images, and other objects etc.pp.
So, what can we do with an MSO inside another MSO? (As I already said, this is highly experimental.)
My experiments with that are very fresh. I did not try a lot. But it seems that we could at least autoplay this MSO.
I have to test more thoroughly what is possible and what will work with buttons etc.pp…
I really like to hear from you what you will find out and if you can put it to any use.

@Mobly – in case it did not work out for you, here some screen grabs for the different steps:
1. Select an MSO:
2. Select a "graphic frame" inside the MSO; in this case a "<square>"; you can see the big blue dot in the Layers panel behind the generic name "<square>":
3. Open the Scripts Panel and select the script:
4. Run the script by double-clicking the script; the generic name of your selected object has changed to "graphic frame", but trust me, it's still a square…
5. Click the "Ok" button of the message and InDesign will select the new MSO ("Multi-state 2") as you can see here. It has two states with one rectangle each, fill and stroke is "None":
And: you can see that this new MSO is nested inside the MSO ("Multi-state 1").
What you do with that construct is up to you:
6. Color the "<square>" of state 1 of "Multi-state 2":
7. Resize and change position of "Multi-state 2":
8. But remember: "Multi-state 2" is nested in the graphic frame you selected before running the script:
I hope you get the picture now…

Loading a SWF inside another SWF question

Hello friends,
1. (IMPORTANT) As all we know when putting some Flash SWF
inside an HTML page, normally it starts playing as soon as its
first frame is loaded.
Now in my case I have to load a SWF (let call it Flash A)
inside another Flash, I used mx.controls.Loader control to do this.
But this internal loaded SWF (Flash A) doesn't display untill it is
completely loaded. Although what is interesting is that if it
contains a sound track I can hear it while it is being loaded.
I wana know is there any way that we can make this Flash
display while being still loaded.
2. Is there anyway to change a Flash playback FPS at runtime?
Thank you so much for any note and help.

Box inside another box in SMARTFORM for hierarchical item data printing

Hi All,
I need to put a <b>box inside another box</b> and <b>both the boxes need to be bordered</b>. There are 2 levels of main data to be printed in the 2 boxes. Header data will be printed in the outer box and corresponding to each header row a number of line items will be printed in the inner box.
There will be multiple numbers of headers as per requirement. How can this feature be implemented in SMARTFORM / SAP-script?

Hi ,
You can try using a combination of variable window and main window to achieve what you are lookoing for.
You will have to use Main window instances such a way similar to newspaper printing.
