Symbol Inside A Symbal

I'm trying to create a banner for a web page. I got the idea
from one of the tutorials found in help. There is the problem It
tells you to insert a new symbol call it "imageHolder" set the size
700X150 X and Y should be 0. That goes ok then I try to insert that
into a symbol called slides. when I drag it to the stage it has
inlarged the size of "imageHolder" and the box is off center. What
is wrong? I went as far to reinstall flash it's self.

Field symbols inside class

Is it possible to declare field symbols inside classes?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Hemalatha,
We can use Field Symbols in classes.
local field_symbols within methods are allowed.
you can only use field-symbols within method (locally), not as direct class attribute (globally).
U can check with this sample code.
Sample code is given below:
CLASS c1 DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
METHODS m1 IMPORTING oref TYPE REF TO object attr TYPE string.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS c1 IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD m1.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <attr> TYPE ANY.
ASSIGN oref->(attr) TO <attr>.
WRITE <attr> ...
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
I hope u got this .....

Linked symbols inside a symbol.

Working with multi-art board documents we need a way to use externally linked symbols inside a symbol in the document. Example: A Button.ai file is used in multiple documents (imaging large project with 100s of pages). The lined button symbol can't be used (Or any linked file) within a symbol. This is a very annoying limitation that requires manually update a button symbol kept in 10th of files.

Hitting "edit" is not a big deal. The grid is a big deal. If you need to adjust the size based on the grid then... you need create the same grid in the linked file and position the artwork precisely. If later on you want to adjust the grid you need to do it manually in all your linked file. Complex, is it not?
Also to be able to preview a change one need to hit save and get back to the original file...
Again all that isn't a big deal for a simple file when you need to adjust a linked image. If we talk about pixel perfect UI design - forget it.

What is this 'DOWN ARROW' symbol, inside a 'horseshoe' to Rt of episode title?

What is this 'DOWN ARROW' symbol, inside a 'horseshoe' to rt of episode title?
Why is it only on some of my more recent episodes?
Why when i click it the colored circle to the left of the podcast title does the circle become unfilled, uncolored?
& btw: what means the Rectangle labled clean (just next to the down arrow)?
thank you very much.

I just reread your question. The horseshoe is a cloud symbol. Clicking on it refreshes your episode. If there is no cloud with arrow, there is no new episode to download. When you click on it, the blue dot which indicates an unplayed episode awaits you, shows the progress of the download in a sort of analog clock manner. After it's done, it should turn blue again and the cloud with arrow should be gone.
The rectangle with clean is part of ratings podcast creators can use to show what audience they are making it suited for. Some rectanges say "explicit", most don't have anything.
I hope this helps.

Symbols inside patterns

Is it possible to use symbols inside patterns? I've tried adding them inside "edit pattern" mode, but when exiting edit mode the symbols inside the pattern are turned into shapes/paths, and loose their connection to the original symbol.
Any idea?

I find this to be a serious limitation to the CC pattern editing interface. The only work-around I know of is to maintain a symbol and drag it into the pattern editor each time you wish to update the pattern. This is also what I do to maintain custom brushes more efficiently.

Accessing symbols inside of adaptive containers

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my question.
I found one thread that discusses basically what I am trying to do, but the solutions didn't work for me and it looks like it didn't work for the original poster. The link to this discussion is: Re: Symbol accessible inside adaptive container? I am using the edgecommons script to load either 'layout1080' or 'layout600' into a symbol on the main stage called 'adaptiveContainer' depending on the width of the web browser. This all works great, and I can control the playhead from within either 'layout1080' or 'layout600' (by using getParentSymbol) but when I try to access it from a button within 'adaptiveContainer' or on the stage, I have no luck with any of the solutions I have tried.
User elainfinnel had what looked to be a good solution, but after trying it I can't get it to work. Their suggestion was:
In the symbol definition, add a creationComplete event and add the following line:
sym.getParentSymbol().setVariable("currentSymbol", sym);
Then, in your Stage, you can access the symbol by doing this:
var mySymbol = sym.getSymbol("currentSymbol");
You can then refer to it as a symbol:
mySymbol.play("myLabel");
This seemed like a great solution to the problem I am having, but I can't seem to get it to work. When I inspect the element in firefox I can see the div class for 'adaptiveContainer' (div id="Stage_adaptiveContainer") but the div id for either 'layout1080' or 'layout600' doesn't show. The div id displays as a number (i.e. div id="Stage_##") that is generated at some point during the script. I am up to 53 now, and it changes every now and then. There doesn't seem to be any sign of the div id for 'layout1080' anywhere.
Thanks for reading and any help is greatly appreciated!

It needs a little modification
//In the symbol definition of layout1200,layout800, add a creationComplete event and add the following line:
var parent = sym.getParentSymbol().getParentSymbol();
parent.setVariable("currentSymbol", sym);
//Then, in your Stage, you can access the symbol by doing this:
var mySymbol = sym.getVariable("currentSymbol");
mySymbol.play("myLabel");

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

Many thanks in advance,

Thanks for your answer. I downloaded the JDBC AddressBook application and I found it very usefull. I was able to populate a datalist from a datasource and show it in my application. My problem still remains in the sense that I am unable to show the KPI data in a "custom node" meaning I woul like not only to extract directly the database record to a datalist object but also put the information of a single record in a textbok and a gauge and keep control of paging. I think this is done with the parser in the other examples but I can not figure out how to do it with MySQL and the new Desktop screen designer. Should I use a clip object? or is that managed already by the desktop screen designer? or where can I find an example with the functionality I need?.

Embedding symbols inside symbols that are runtime exported.

I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.
To accomplish this, I'm following the directions here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flash/10.0_UsingFlash/WSd60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7dc9 a.html#WSd60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7dc6a
However, I'm having a strange issue...
My "Clock" symbol (it's a class defined in an external .as file, which extends MovieClip) has an internal "SecondHand" (also a symbol, but just a plain old MovieClip, no external .as file). I have exported both these symbols for runtime sharing as explained on the above page. And put the resulting SWF up on the web, so other SWFs can download it. (This is what I'm considering the "library" SWF.)
Then in my second SWF, I follow the directions as explained under "Link a shared asset to a destination document by entering the identifier and URL". In other words, I make a new symbol, right-click it and select "Properties", check "import for runtime sharing", type in the correct URL of the "library" SWF, and type in the correct Class name of my "clock" symbol from the library SWF. And also make sure the name of the symbol matches the name of the symbol in the "library" SWF.
I run the second SWF, and it does manage to load up the "library" SWF (I can verify this happens in the webserver logs), and the clock appears on the screen - complete with a second hand. However, I then get an error like this:
"Clock.as, Line 29: Access of undefined property secondHand."
Clock.as:29 is:
secondHand.rotation = (secs % 60) * 6;
It's worth noting here that "secondHand" is an instance of the symbol "SecondHand". This instance was created when I made the "library" SWF in CS4. I double-clicked the "Clock" symbol in the library pane to edit it. Then I dragged a copy of the symbol "SecondHand" into that Clock. Then I used the "Properties" tab to make the name of that instance "secondHand". In other words, I probably did it exactly way you'd expect someone to do this. Nothing fancy or weird, as far as I can tell.
So... there's something very strange going on here. Somehow, my "secondHand" isn't being created when the "Clock" symbol is instantiated. My assumption was that since I dragged and dropped the symbol while I was editing the "Clock" MC, the code to create the "secondHand" instance would get attached to frame1 of the "Clock" symbol. But evidently not...
The thing that really hurts my brain, though is this: if the "secondHand" instance is never being created.... how come the second hand shows up on-screen? I mean sure, there could be some "cache as bitmap" stuff going on behind the scenes, but even so that just seems weird. The loading SWF obviously isn't creating the secondHand object. And yet you can see said object right there on-screen!
I've tried many searches for many variations of "flash runtime import symbol loading", but found nothing relevant. The above linked doc page just blithely assumes that everything will magically work out - as most of the Adobe docs so cutely do.
So, questions...
A) Am I doing something obviously wrong?
B) Has anyone else seen this before? (Known bug?)
C) Does anyone know of a workaround?
If anyone wants .FLAs/SWFs demonstrating the problem, I'm happy to provide. Just ask.
It's the weekend, but I'll try and check back on this topic once or twice a day just in case anyone answers.

After a long, frustrating day of trying every possible thing I could think of, there doesn't seem to be a way to make this work correctly at compile time. I finally settled on doing an end-run around CS4 at run time.
in Clock.as:
var secondHand:MovieClip = this.getChildByName("secondHand");
This uses DisplayObjectContainer's getChildByName() function to walk the display list and find the object with the given name.
It's possible you may need to delay doing this until *after* the Clock has been added to the stage. If that's how you have to use it, then put a handler on the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE event and don't do the above code until you're sure the object has been added to the stage.

Unknown symbols inside video clips imported form my iPhone 4 into iMovie 11

I recently upgraded my iLife to version 11 and have been really happy with the results so far. However when i import video clips from my iPhone 4 into one of my iMovie events it displayes a small yellow box in the bottom left corner of the clip. This box is not present on clips shot on other devices just my iphone clips. There are numbers inside the yellow box which on most of my clips says 30 but there are clips with 24 and 15. The presence of these boxes doesn't seem to be having a detremental effect and indeed all the editing functions still work. In addition these boxes are not present when the finished movie is exported. I'm not particularly bothered by their prescence but I would like to know why they are there, what they mean and if the can be removed?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks
Now that I understand what it is, is it possible to adjust the clip's frame rate to match the project or vise versa? I've looked at project properties for the project and its set to 25fps but the box is greyed out and cant be changed.
Am I missing something?
Thanks again.

Trying to show() and play() a symbol from inside another symbol

Hi Everyone !
I'm running into a problem which is getting me crazy.
I have the following case :
- 1 symbol (_Page_Background) containing an animation with the following trigger @0s :
// Hiding the symbol
sym.getParentSymbol().$("_Page_Background").hide();
// Stop it
sym.stop();
- 1 element (B_TOYS), inside of a symbol (BUTTONS) with the following "click" trigger :
// Showing the _Page_Background symbol
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("_Page_Background").show();
// Start playing it
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("_Page_Background").play("INTRO");
The Symbol _Page_Background starts hidden, like it should. But when I click on the button (B_TOYS), nothing happens. Although, everything was working correctly before I turned my buttons into symbols ..
I guess the problems lies with the "show()" function, because I have other buttons that work properly but they don't show/hide anything, they just play()
Am I missing something ?!
Thanks in advance for your kind help !

Hi Dimitri,
Think of symbols as independent timelines that can contain other elements, or instances of other symbols. The Stage/main timeline is a symbol as well. Scripting calls are scoped to the symbol that the script is in. The keyword sym stands for the symbol that you're in with the script.
So if your script is at the same level as what you are targeting with it:
Use sym.$("elementName") to access an element's properties
Use sym.getSymbol("symbolName") to access a symbol's timeline. If there's another symbol inside that symbol that you want to access, you'd use sym.getSymbol("symbolName").getSymbol("childSymbolName")...that's only two levels deep, but you can go as deep as needs be.
If you're trying to access an element in a symbol, you'd combine these two, such as sym.getSymbol("symbolName").$("elementName")
When your script is within a symbol and you want to access an element or symbol outside of the symbol timeline:
Use sym.getParent() to get to any elements that are in the parent symbol (the symbol which contains the symbol you're calling from), which could be the Stage or could be another parent symbol
Use sym.getComposition().getStage() from any symbol level to access things at the main Stage level. You can also dive into a symbol on the Stage from any symbol using sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("symbolName").
All is explained in detail here:

Target Stage and append iframe from inside symbol????

Having trouble again. I am SLOWLY getting use to the CC 2014 thing =).
Now I need to be able to target a Symbol on the stage from within an element inside a symbol and append it with an <iframe> and pass attributes to the iframe.
I have a file -- please refer to the videoui symbol and whitewater1.click and whiteawater2.click actions in that symbol (link below (Drop Box)
Here's what I have so far...
// insert code for mouse click here
// Go to a label or specific time and stop. For example:
// sym.stop(500); or sym.stop("myLabel");
sym.stop("videotwo");
// Change the text in an element
sym.$("video-text").html("Video by: TheNigglesbear");
var youtubevidtwo = $("<iframe/>");
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("vcontainer").append(youtubevidtwo);
youtubevidtwo.attr('type','text/html');
youtubevidtwo.attr('width','616');
youtubevidtwo.attr('height','347');
youtubevidtwo.attr('src','http://www.youtube.com/embed/eqzwoIQseyA?rel=0'); // url/Video_Id
youtubevidtwo.attr('frameborder','0');       // 1 | 0
youtubevidtwo.attr('allowfullscreen','0');   // 1 | 0
This same code -with different path to symbol of course- works fine on the stage document.compositionReady, but not sure how to target the videoui and append the iframe and its attributes to it from inside another symbol.
Help please -- there really needs to be more ADVANCED examples of possible methods of targeting. I find a lot about targeting symbols inside of symbols,or Stage to symbols, but not much on symbols to stage to another symbol also on the stage.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input. Just what I needed, I had to adjust my thinking, but got it to work because you took the time to look at my file and offer the help. Really appreciate it!! Here's how I made it work (for all three) video buttons:
var container = sym.getComposition().getStage().$("vcontainer");
container.find("iframe").remove();
var youtubevidtwo = sym.getComposition().getStage().$("<iframe/>");
sym.getComposition().getStage().$("vcontainer").append(youtubevidtwo);
youtubevidtwo.attr('type','text/html');
youtubevidtwo.attr('width','616');
youtubevidtwo.attr('height','347');
youtubevidtwo.attr('src','http://www.youtube.com/embed/eqzwoIQseyA?rel=0'); // url/Video_Id
youtubevidtwo.attr('frameborder','0');       // 1 | 0
youtubevidtwo.attr('allowfullscreen','0');   // 1 | 0

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!

Activate a button inside a symbol

First let me just say that edge is great tool, and makes our life much easier.
well.. i'm trying to get familiar with the program and I run into some obstacles.
on the stage i have a symbol, inside that symbol i have a button, which i need it to run an animation on the timeline inside that same symbol.
i used- sym.play("label name on timeline"); --- not working
i have noticed another problem, when i change the cursor it also dosen't appear when i export (CTRL+ENTER).
i tried to activate the symbol on the main timeline of the stage but it didnt solved the problem either.

YES.
Button is in mySymbol
you need to get back to the stage:
sym.getComposition().getStage().
you need to get the symbol
getSymbol("mySymbol")
you need to get the button:
$('btn')
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("mySymbol").$('btn').click(function(){
// you code here
sym.getSymbol("mySymbol").play('symbolLabel');
Here is a sample file:

Layers inside of Symbols

I'm watching a flash tutorial from cartoon solutions on lip
synching. In the timeline there are three layers- the head, body
and sound- and when the presenter clicks on the head graphic symbol
it opens a different contingent of layers with the component of the
head(nose, mouth, etc.). This is something that I'm trying to
duplicate but can't figure out how. I'm using FlashMX and don't
know if that was a feature added later. There don't appear to be
any folder icons in the timeline, either.

and to add to jesse's (thanks), instance names only if
using/nesting movie clips - i work with
Graphic symbols as much, if not more than MCs. Just in case
bippity is not using MCs - since he is
following along with a cartoonsmart tutorial, most likely
they are graphics symbols.
