I’ve got many instances of one symbol, but i want to make small changes to each. How do I do the changes without having them automaticall carried over to all of the rest of the instances?
Open your library, right click on that symbol and duplicate it. Give it a new name and you can now edit it without having it effect the others because it’s now a new symbol.
Ah Great… gonna increase my file size that way. (-:
Yep.
Or just create 1 clip, put a stop actions on the first frame, and then have each individual frame after that be an altered version.
Then drag the clip onto the stage and apply these actions… [AS]onClipEvent(load){
this.gotoAndStop(frameNumberWithAlteredItem);
}[/AS]
Well… just an alternate method, I am not too sure if this is anymore efficient.
