Switching images used as a symbol late in development

Does anyone know a way to switch the image you are using as a
symbol later in the development stage? Lets say you edit an image
in Fireworks, then convert it to a symbol, then copy and paste it
into Flash and use it throughout the movie. Is there a way to later
on change the image to an updated one? Say you cleaned it up more
in FIreworks, can you somehow change the symbol to use that new
image, while preserving the positioning and tweens and effects
placed on it throughout the movie?

That's the beauty of symbols. If you've converted it to a
symbol then open the symbol in your library and swap out the image.
You'll see that all instances of the symbol will automatically
update throughout the movie. You can also update the image. If the
file name is the same but you've modified it in an external editor,
then double-click on the Bitmap in the library and click the
"Update" button.

  • My keyboard on my computer keeps switching to using symbols as I'm typing.

    My keyboard on my computer keeps switching to using symbols as I'm typing. I've gone through and changed/reset/etc the keyboard, text, and language settings. I've tried to figure out if a key is stuck, but couldn't find one. I've disabled function keys to check if that affects anything, it does not. The keys will eventually, spontaneously switch back to normal (with or without my troubleshooting). It keeps switching back and forth without rhyme or reason. I eventually linked a wireless keyboard, which types correctly- even when my computer keyboard does not- so I figure it must be a technical malfunction of somekind. Using this other keyboard permanently would be fine, except it is not my own and I am traveling abroad while working from my computer.
    Please help guide me to a solution!
    Thanks!

    You may just have to take it into your local Apple Store and have them run diagnostics. Some applications will let you type diacritical marks if you hold down, for example, the a and e keys, but that doesn't seem if that's what you're experiencing.
    If you've already fooled around with Language & test, Input Sources, etc., then it's likely a hardware malfunction.

  • Bridge CC crashes while using arrow keys to switch images

    Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Adobe Bridge 2014 on Mac is crashing every time I press an arrow key to move through images in bridge. I can click to manually select images with no problem, but using the up/down arrow keys to move to the next image up/down brings up the spinning beach ball and immediately locks the program up, requiring a force quit.
    Did the usual Mac permissions and fsck stuff to no avail. Ideas?
    Dan

    Thanks for moving my post to this correct forum. (I'm afraid I missed it when I originally posted.) A bit more information based on attempts to fix and on further attempts to use the program.
    After launching Bridge — before I select any specific image — it initially seems to work correctly. For example, I can use menu items and select and open folders. However...
    Once I drill down through folders to show raw files in the browser the problems begin. I can manually select an image by clicking on it, but the program the locks up if I do things such as attempt to navigate to another image using the up/down keyboard arrows or select anything from a menu that would perform an action on the image. (The problem happens with any image selected — not one particular image, and with images that worked fine until 48 hours ago.)
    ACR still works. I can double click an image and open the raw converter, and I can doubly click a smart object image in Photoshop do go back to the raw editor and it allows me to edit.
    I did the step of holding down command-option-shift at Bridge startup and selecting all three options to delete the cache and so forth. Still no joy.
    I did the usual Mac disk/file system repair stuff — repairing permissions and repairing disk — to no avail.
    I downloaded and reinstalled Bridge but the problem persists.
    Since I have a full backup of the drive on which Bridge is installed and since this backup drive is bootable, I double clicked the copy of Bridge on the backup drive... and it opened (slowly!) but worked correctly. (Not that this means much, but my second instance on my laptop continues to run fine.)
    I'm stuck, in a serious way, at this point. Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    public void run() {
    repaint();
    I know for a fact that the Canvas class 's paint method is called by the system and not the application. This poses a problem for me because I am not sure how to pass the image to the piant method, so that it can be painted.
    When I run the program(using J2ME wtk04), this is the outcome.
    Image created succesfully
    Canvas instiatiated successfully
    null
    Here are my questions
    1) when is the paint method precisely called by the system?after a reference to the canvas class is created?
    2) is it wise to create the image when instiating the canvas class?( initially created the image using a separate thread)-when sould the image be created?
    3)how to let the application know when to use the image when painting the display area?
    I am just trying the logistics here. It is very crucial to me to understand the bolts of this as the core f my project fouses on the man machine interface development.(For the project, the cilent application is quering for the map using HTTP)
    I use a png file of size 161 bytes. Is that too big for testing purposes.
    I would all the help that I can get. thanks in advance

    1) when is the paint method precisely called by the system?after a reference to the canvas class is created?
    After the canvas is set as the current display, and after that, after the repaint() is called.
    2) is it wise to create the image when instiating the canvas class?( initially created the image using a separate thread)-when sould the image be created?
    It's better to create the image in the very begining of the program e.g. in the midlet initialization. You can call the created image as often as you like later on
    3)how to let the application know when to use the image when painting the display area?
    you have to tell it :))
    you can use if-then, switch, or anything else
    and you can use clipping too

  • How to print uspto patent images using Safari and Quicktime

    3/18/06
    Do you want to know how to print US patent images using Safari? Read on.
    When you access the "images" link of a specific patent on the www.uspto.gov/ website using Safari, the page you are viewing is only one small upper left tile of a huge patent image that is not sized to the screen. You can scroll and try to read the page but it's almost impossible. Try to print it out and you only print what's on the screen. Bummer.
    The fix:
    Place the cursor on the opened image (it may appear blank), hold down the CONTROL key on you keyboard and click on the image. Two instructions come up. Click on the "Save Image to the Desktop" instruction and a DImg.tiff file will be created on your desktop. Click on the .tiff file and it should open in the Preview program, then simply print out the image. Voila!!!!
    Click the yellow arrow in the left margin to access page 2 of the patent and repeat the previous instructions to create another .tiff file on your destop. Do every page and you'll have the patent available to print out one page at a time.
    You can then rename the files and create a folder for that specific patent so you can access it later without signing onto uspto site.
    It's odd that the ever compatible Apple does not provide seamless compatibility to view and print patent images on the US Patent and Trademark Office's website. Where would they be without protecting their own intellectal property? Let's hope the next version of Quicktime includes the appropriate ITU T.6 or CCITT Group 4 (G4) compression language.
    Even the "throw it out the Windows" operating system is up to speed on this issue for America's hard working inventors.
    Keep on inventing.

  • How can you determine which pages are using a specific symbol?

    I want to find all the pages that are using a specific symbol, but I don't know how.  I can't simply switch symbols because some have specific text & want to switch them with more generic smart buttons.  I'll have to find every instance to update the text.
    thanks!

    me too, my file has 39 pages with many unuse symbols, now I want to delete those unuse.
    I found that after deleteing those unuse in Page 1, actually they are being used in other page,
    I can't find the way to delete them all at one time for all pages.

  • Can I use an animated symbol acting like a mouse cursor?

    Hi,
    I'd like to use an EDGE animated symbol ( a blinking magic wand) as my mouse cursor (hiding the original cursor) that stays on the stage all the time at a certain point in the timeline and when clicked on a hotspot, goes to another point in timeline where the symbol no longer act as a mouse cursor. I used the following code suggested in the following thread by YOSHIOKA Ume
    Re: How to I have an animated symbol follow the coordinates of the cursor when clicked?
    1:create a symbol named "Symbol_1"
    2:add this code on Symbol_1-Timeline.complete.
    //delete this instance when timeline complete. sym.deleteSymbol();
    3:add this code on document.compositionReady.
    //on/off mousemove event handler method
    sym.$("Stage")  
    .mouseover(function(){    
    sym.$("Stage").on("mousemove",draw);  
    //create instance of Symbol_1 on stage.
    function draw(evt){  
    var instance = sym.createChildSymbol("Symbol_1", "Stage");  
    instance.getSymbolElement().css({    
    position:"absolute",    
    top:evt.clientY,    
    left:evt.clientX   });
    But the problem is, the symbol is being repeated/drawn one after another according to the above code, which I don't want. Changing the cursor using CSS requires a URL of a image file, not a symbol inside EDGE as it seems. How can I get back the normal mouse cursor in another point in the timeline (and go back to the animated symbol mode again if needed?). If I click on another hotspot element on the stage, do I actually click on the attached symbol as a cursor? Or the hotspot?
    Also, how can I put a constraint on the cursor so that it stays within a certain rectangular area smaller than the stage?
    A suggestion is much appreciated.

    Here is a example I had to move a symbol around as a mouse cursor and play different part of the symbol timeline based on user action.
    mouseCursor.zip - Google Drive
    To constraint the symbol to stage area,check for the x and y values in the event callback function before moving the symbol.
    To get back the normal cursor set the css back to default
    ex: sym.getSymbol('Stage').getSymbolElement().css({ 'cursor' : 'default'});

  • How to mark (psd) Images with the Circle Symbol without duplicating them

    I would like to import my layered images in Aperture.
    The problem is i would like to further adjust them in photoshop cs3 without creating a duplicate.
    Is there a possibility to mark this images with the Circle Symbol (for edited with external editor) or do I really have to open each image than close again, delete the master and then the remaining image with the circle can be opened and further enhanced in Photoshop without duplicating the image.
    Another example:
    I like to open a psd file within aperture with: edit with Adobe Photoshop CS3.
    The Image should open without being duplicated. Then I could drag the layer into another PSD document and close it again.
    Right now I would end up with a Master Duplicate which I have to delete afterwards.
    I know I could use referenced files and say show in finder but I like managed better,
    also:
    Show in finder does show you only one image (I like to do that to 5 or 10 images at once).
    bc

    Like I said if you want to get into the programming business you can modify the aperture database directly but I don't know of an easier way with managed masters. You can always just do your workaround to files that you are actually working on and you only need to do it once.
    Sorry there is no answer to easier answer to deal with all of them at the same time. At least none I can think of off the top of my head.
    RB
    Ps. Lightroom can just open your PSD files but that is an apples and oranges thing. Lightroom is not trying to manage your masters for you in a managed library an ensure that nothing modifies them, if you are ok with that method than referenced files should be ok with you as well, you can always use referenced for your legacy PSDs and use a managed methodology for your new images going forward starting with the source image.

    I'm going to try and bring this thread back from the dead.  Buckle up, long post ahead.
    Did you ever determine for sure that the issue was a system board?  I'm having a very similar issue with a machine. 
    I am trying to apply an image to a customer machine using ImageX, but keep running into error 1392.  This error would flag a different file every time, but always at 45-49% completion. 
    The image was provided by the customer in a PE image which was ghosted to multiple flash drives.  We have successfully applied the image to over 400 machines by first using disk part to clean the disk and create one ntfs partition.  We then run "Imagex.exe
    /apply path_to_customer_image.wim 1 C:"
    That is where this machine would find its hangup and spit out an imagex error 1392.
    My initial reaction was to replace the HDD, so I did.  The issue was not resolved, so I tested the ram and CPU with no change.  I replaced the system board with a brand new one, and the issue persists!!  This is basically a new machine by now,
    so I've pretty much ruled out hardware related possibilities.
    Curious as to the customer's specification on creating just one partition in preparation for imaging, I experimented a little.  I shredded the HDD in Parted Magic and used its partition editor to ensure there were no existing partitions.
    Using Disk Part from X: on the imaging flash drive, I cleaned the HDD (why not?) and created an initial ntfs partition of 100mb.  I labeled it "system" and assigned it letter S.  I then created a second ntfs partition of the remaining space,
    labeled it "windows," and assigned it letter C.  This partition I marked as active.
    I then ran chkdsk to scan for any possible drive errors. 
    This time, running Imagex, the process made it to 77% before failing with error 1392 (again, a seemingly random file).  Seeing as how the failures were previously consistently between 45% and 49%, I figured I was on to something.  I repeated all of
    the disk prep steps above, making the "system" partition 500mb this time. 
    ImageX was a success!!  100% of the WIM was applied and I received no errors.  Fantastic. 
    I went to boot the machine and received an error that the boot files were missing.
    I booted back into the PE drive and tried running bcdboot to pull boot files and apply to my active OS partition at C:, but I received another error stating that there was a failure attempting to transfer the boot files.  I ran again in verbose and received
    an error code.  I cannot remember the error code for certain (I am currently cleaning the HDD), but according to my Google history, it was 0xc1. 
    Any ideas??  The machine is an HP EliteBook 8470p.
    Update:  Parted Magic just crashed twice attempting to wipe the hard disk.  Once running from RAM, the second time running live from the USB.  This is new....

  • Replacing images using Javascript

    There are several posts explaining how to replace an image using Javascript (simpler with JQuery), but when I tried the code, the image kept reverting to the original image specified. This occurred regardless of browser, but does not revert in DW's "Live View". It turns out the culprit is that I was using an anchor <a> with a href attribute. The browser apparently evaluates the href after processing the OnClick() event. Switching to a button versus an anchor solved the problem. DW needs a little tuning.

    This may (or may not) be a separate issue – crashing rather than the DSP Publishing error.
    Two suggestions – both relying on Digital Rebellion.
    First use their Preference Manager to trash your preferences. Most of the crashes I've experienced over the past year of using FCPX have been remedied by trashing pref files.
    Second, DR has a suite of utility apps called Pro Maintenance Tools. PMT has a crash analyzer that will provide both diagnostic info and recommendations. The suite isn't cheap, but there is a trial version you can download to evaluate.

  • Trouble burning Blu-ray or disc image using Share

    I have a project I have tried to burn to a Blu-Ray disc and to the hard drive as a disc image using Share>Blu-ray. I have burned successfully before to the same Blu-ray burner with other projects. But now when trying to burn a disc I get this error after a day of transcoding:
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1024.)
    When I try to save it as a disc image it tells me there is not enough space on the disc even though there is over a Terabyte empty. The project is estimated as 21.6 gig so I know it should fit on the 25 gig bluray and of course on the hard drive. Trashing prefs did not work either. This is a very frustrating process as each attempt takes a day to transcode before the error pops up and you have to start all over again.
    I am using
    iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
    16 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    FCP X 10.0.6
    OS X 10.8.2

    This is the error message I get. It's after FCP X is done with making the BMV folder and runs that disc burner app. There is about 850 gigs on the drive I want to save the disc image to, lots of space.
    I thought maybe the drive the events was on was affecting this process, because it was full. I cleared out about 30 gigs and still got this message.
    I never had any problems creating a Blu-ray disc image before. That's the optimcal way, IMHO, because you can burn the BD in Toast as the disc image and Toast won't reencode or do anything, it just burns the disc image and the disc has played on ever Blu-ray player I've tried it on.
    Anyone have any more ideas?
    Thanks

  • Capture an image using the web camera from a web application

    Hi All,
    Could anyone please share the steps what have to be followed for capture an image using the web camera from a web application.
    I have a similar requirement like this,
    1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)
    2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.
    3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.
    Please share the details like, what can be used and how it can be used etc...
    Thanks,
    Suman

    1) Detect the Webcam on the users machine from the web application.(To be more clear when the user clicks on 'Add Photo' tool from the web application)There's not really any good way to do this with JMF. You'd have to somehow create a JMF web-start application that will install the native JMF binaries, and then kick off the capture device scanning code from the application, and then scan through the list of devices found to get the MediaLocator of the web cam.
    2) When the user confirms to save, save the Image in users machine at some temporary location with some unique file name.You'd probably be displaying a "preview" window and then you'd just want to capture the image. There are a handful of ways you could capture the image, but it really depends on your situation.
    3) Upload the Image to the server from the temporary location.You can find out how to do this on google.
    All things told, this application is probably more suited to be a FMJ (Freedom for Media in Java) application than a JMF application. JMF relies on native code to capture from the web cams, whereas FMJ does not.
    Alternately, you might want to look into Adobe Flex for this particular application.
