Swap Graphic Symbol Bitmap Dynamically With Actionscript
I have a Graphic symbol that contains a Bitmap, and I would like to swap the Bitmap inside the Graphic symbol with an external image file at runtime using actionscript. The Graphic symbol is used in a tween, and I would like to dynamically change which image is used in the tween.

The Graphic symbol is part of a MovieClip, so I'm thinking that I need to use the loadMovie method of the MovieClip. But, how do I access the Graphic symbol, and thus the Bitmap inside the Graphic symbol.

Hope I'm making sense here. I've searched quit a bit, and no seems to have an answer for this.

Thanks!

Is There A Swap Image Command?
I am trying to do a photo gallery type of effect where while mouse is over a icon, a bigger picture will appear in the middle.

Instead of jumping to different part of the timeline, I thought maybe using AS to swap out the middle graphic will be the most efficient way, but is there such a command?

Swap Symbol With OnClick
does anyone know how to replace a symbol after it's been clicked on? (without changing what frame you're in). basically i have a button that turns off the music in my site, but after the music turns off i want the button to swap with the "turn on music" button.

if anyone has any ideas.. or another way to do this, it would really help me out.

thanks!

Swap Symbol Won't Work - Help
I have two symbols -- "rope bit-1" and "rope bit-2". They're both graphic symbols; "rope bit 1" has one grouped set of lines, "rope bit 2" has two sets.

The animation works like this: "rope bit 1" is at a 45-degree angle; a motion tween moves it to a vertical line. At the next keyframe, I want to swap it with "rope bit 2", so that a second part of the rope appears on the ground.

But every time I swap the symbol to "rope bit 2", the symbol that appears is "rope bit 1". I've tried:

-> swapping the symbols directly
-> swapping the old symbol, duplicating "rope bit 1" to something else and then changing the new symbol
-> deleting the symbol and dragging another symbol onto the stage
-> making a new symbol and dragging that into the keyframe

NOTHING WORKS! Every time I try any of these things, I get "rope bit 1" again. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer..

Alpha Or Swap Symbol
Hi,
I am using flash mx. I would like to either swap a symbol on the stage with another symbol using AS or I would like to put both symbols on the stage at same time but change their alpha with AS. Both would accomplish my desired effect. I was wondering if one technique was better to use then the other. (Better on the processor, smaller file size, etc.)

Thanks,

Mass Symbol Swap?
Ok hey.

Say ive got a character animted putting on a helmet. Ok, now I have another character I want to use the same animation for another chacracter that has same dimensions, but is just colored differently. The second character has the symbols for arm hand ect just as character one has. Only way I could think is to use swap symbol, but I would be doing it on alot of frames, very tedious. Is there another way?

PS: I was wondering what the synchronise symbols action does?

Thx

Swap Symbol Not Working
Hello-
I have an fla file where i was swapping instances of bitmapped symbols no problem, and then for no reason i can tell, it just stopped working. Ive been trying to test how & why this happens, and the only thing I can notice is this:
I'm starting out with a bitmap that has been converted to a symbol. I am motion tweening this. when I motion tween from the first to the 2nd keyframe, I can swap the symbol just fine on the 2nd keyframe. When I add a 3rd keyframe, so that the 2nd keyframe has motion tween coming in and going out, the 2nd keyframe loses the little black edge (not quite a box, since it was only on one side). It still has the black dot, so I think it's still a keyframe, but after that, i can't swap a symbol instance on the frame any longer. likewise, if I insert a 3rd frame between two that already have a motion tween, I can't do a symbol swap on that third frame. I select swap, the dialog comes up, I select the new symbol, and NOTHING HAPPENS. Swap symbol does not update the frame.
I know it's possible to have motion tweens in and out of a frame that contains a symbol swap as i've done this many times. maybe this file is corrupt or there's some setting that is causing this. Anyone have a clue? Using mx 2004 pro.
thanks

One Symbol Controls Other's Swap - How?
Gosh, I post three times, it's such a simple case, i just don't know how to code!

I have two symbols on screen (buttons). I press the first one and the second symbol is swapped (not the one i press!)
How to do that?

They have to be movie clips?

In the end it will be a sort of checkerboard where i press on squares and the text in other squares changes. Is that real?

(squares.fla file attached (flash 8), i just need a push in the right direction!)

Swap Symbol Problem
Finally got F8 today and have been playing with it nonstop. I am however having a problem with the swap symbol feature which is frustrating since I used this all the time in the previous version.

When I do a swap symbol on a keyframed tween it only replaces the instance of the object for that one keyframe. In previous version of Flash doing the same would result in the symbol instance swapping for not just that one keyframe but all the consecutive keyframes within that tween, always being a major time saver.

Any ideas?

Swap Symbol Problems
I'm making a cartoon in flash and am currently starting the fun lip synching grind... it's pretty basic I just have 4 or so different mouth symbols. Anyways, everything was going smoohtly until I added a motion tween, now all of a sudden for some reason it's not letting me swap the symbol. Any idea why this is? I've worked around this problem before by creating a new layer each time, but it's sort of getting to be messy and a pain in the butt.
Thanks for the help!

Buttons Don't Work After Swap Symbol
I am reposting this issue, because I have further clarity on what is causing my problem, just don't have a solution.

Ok, I have actions for button navigation like this:
Btn_Home.onRelease = function()
{
gotoAndPlay ("Home");
};

When I swap the button to a new button (different colors), I am not changing the name of the button or anything, it should act exactly the same, but its not.

After the button symbol swap, the action doesn't work anymore, it won't call the action from above. I can work around this by copying/pasting the action code to the same frame that I do the button symbol swap so that it 'refreshes' the action, but that is a pain.

Has anyone come across this before? I'm hoping there is an easy solution. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated. I've attached an example, you can see that once you have clicked on Crowd, the Heads button won't work...

Swap Symbol On Multiple Frames
Simple flash interface question. I have created an animation that took some time to do. My client has finally sent me a hi res version of the image I used. Is there a quick way I can replace the low res image with the hires across all the keyframes in the animation? I don't want to select each key frame, right click on the image and the select swap symbol. It will take awhile.

Saving .fla Swap Symbol Instance On Movie Clip - Help
Hi, I'm asking for your help! Please!!!

When I save my movie using any format (flash8 of cs3) it saves all perfect, but replaces two symbols on the last thing I edited. Instead of using the proper symbols (renamed duplicated symbols) it uses symbol 2 (movie) and symbol 3 (graphic).
My library is full of objects (around 300).

When I edit it again from the "bugged" saved .fla, selecting keyframes, clicking once on the symbol instance and using swap from the properties window, all works 100%, I press ctrl+enter and see the .swf working perfectly.
Still when I save the .fla, I get no error.
Then when I load the .fla again it gets "edited" again with the same problem, it replaces this two symbol instance and I always have to start all over.
It's so irritating and makes me so sad.. Please help me.


IF you need further info, please don't hesitate to ask, I really need to end my work and I'm over a deadline.

I'm using winxp PRO sp2 and flash cs3 pro TRIAL (I downloaded it yesterday so it should be updated)
I can take screen, or do what ever you need to solve this!

It's so irritating and makes me so sad.. Please help me.

Why Is "Swap Symbol" Not Working?
I am using Flash MX, and sometimes, seemingly arbitrarilly, the "Swap-Symbol" function won't work. I have checked to make sure the layer is not locked, same for any mask layer above. Is there a documented bug, or something I am missing? I am confused. The movie I am working on, the function worked just fine yesterday, now I try the same thing again and it wont work. Any ideas?

Swap To Actionscript 3 For Uni Work Or Not?
Hello

Im in my final year at uni and Im wondering if I should swap to actionscript 3 for my final project. Im a designer and Im led to believe as a designer if I get a job I WONT be doing any coding, that would be the coders job, at least thats apparently the setup in most businesses. So Im wondering should I learn actionscript 3 when I know how to do things in actionscript 2. I have read actionscript 3 is extremely different and more strict and code heavy. Remember that Im a designer so until I get a job I can only design things I can code and there is a time limit on my final project. I think maybe I should stick with actionscript 2 because learning a new one seems a big task with the orientation on proper coding in actionscript 3.

thanks for any input.

Getting An Instance's Symbol Name Echoed Out In A "trace" Command.
Hi,

I have 78 movie clips in my library & wanted a way to get each of their symbol names echoed out in a “trace” command. Each of the clips has only got it's “symbol” name given to it at the time the clip was created so no name has been assigned to it via the properties box “instance name” field.

I have pulled them out of the library to the main stage & the best i have been able to come up with is this:
code: for(i in _root){
trace(_root[i]._name)
}
which only gives the generic “instance1”, instance2”......... type naming.

I'm sure that what I'm after is very easy it's just that I can't think how to go about it.

How Do I Swap Flash Movies In Dreamweaver In Place Of Swap Image?
In Dreamweaver you can swap images on a mouseover event using behaviors.

Instead of swapping images, I want to swap flash movies.

Example:

Build a table
place and play a flash movie in a cell
on a mouseover, replace that flash movie with another flash movie.

Can it be done? It apparently can't be done directly - Dreamweaver won't see flash files as swappable. Perhaps there's a workaround.

Which Actionscript Command Do I Use?
Hey Flashers!

What is the command to increment a specific movie clip from a button?

In the file faces.fla, I want to be able to click on the different colored buttons and have the respective face change incrementally until it is at the last frame (the really happy face) If you click the button again, I don't want it to start again at frame one (the angry face).

Is it a Tell Target function?

Please help me and send back the .fla

Much much thanks!

What is the command to increment a specific movie clip from a button?

In the file faces.fla, I want to be able to click on the different colored buttons and have the respective face change incrementally until it is at the last frame (the really happy face) If you click the button again, I don't want it to start again at frame one (the angry face).

Is it a Tell Target function?

Please help me and send back the .fla

Much much thanks!

How Do I Add A Symbol With Actionscript?
Hi,

Latly, I have wanted it to work so that when you press a button, it adds a speciffic symbol to the current fraame. I am currently not even sure if this is possible, but if it is, could you help me?

What Does This Symbol ':' Mean In Actionscript
Hi i'm trying to rework some F4 code that looks like this:
test:scale_target = "100"; and
acctext = "acc: " add /test:acc;

Now i don't know what ':' means, is it similar to F5 where it would be
test.scale_target = "100"; and is just using dot syntax to reference a property of test MC?

Becuase if it is why does acc have : after it?
acctext = "acc: " add /test:acc;

Initiating An Actionscript Command...
Situation:
I'm using the following code on buttons to execute a movieclip slide animation:

targety = 261;
slide.gotoAndPlay("move");

This code works great and functions properly when used with buttons and on(mouseEvents).

Question:
How do I place the same code into a keyframe and have it operate the same way? When I place the code exactly as it is shown above into a keyframe the slide function does not work. Am I not formatting the code properly? Do I need to add an additional string? If so, how should I write it?

Please help and thanks in advance.

Actionscript Getting Frame Command... Please Help Me
I'm a novice actionscripter, and I was attempting to make a "progress bar" (basically the kind of progress bar that appears when you install a program, etc.). I have the bar part of it, but I need a way to get the numerical percentages. I was going to let the "loading" animation go for 100 frames, and then use actionscript to get the frame number that the animation was running on and display that number in the animation, followed by a percent sign... yielding this result:
(frame number)%
It would work out nicely... but I can't seem to find the actionscript command that would find the frame number the animation is on. Please, some one help me by either telling me the actionscript command to do so, or either telling me another way to obtain my desired effect. If I haven't provided enough information as to what I want, please let me know! Thanks a bunch!!!
