Edge Animate CC :: How To Target Nested Symbol From A Button
Feb 19, 2012
I'm new to Edge, Javascript and HTML5 (coming from Director/Flash/After Effects background) I'm wondering if there's a way to target a nested symbol from a button. I would like to make a simple Pause/Play toggle button that stops a nested symbol is it's playing and plays it if is stopped. In software's I'm familitar with, this can be done with a simple target path and if/else conditional statement, but I can't find any examples that don't seem much more complicated.

How do I reference `this` when a symbol is clicked? I have a click event on 'alien' on the stage. In the handler, sym appears to be stage and not 'this'.
I want it to play itself (amoung other things) when clicked.
e.target gets me the element, but not the edge symbol so I can play itself.

I have a symbol called Rectangle and a text field called Counter on the stage. Inside the symbol I have another textfield called Counter2. For the .click event of the symbol I have:
sym.setVariable("checker", "1");
sym.$("Counter").html(sym.getVariable("checker"));
sym.setVariable("checker", "0");
sym.$("Counter2").html(sym.getVariable("checker")); //error here?
But I noticed that only Counter is being changed and that Counter2 was not targeted. How do I target Counter2 without having to move it to the main timeline?

Got a nested symbol. Rather simple one. Inside the symbol is a background rectangle and a text field. When I click a button, it should insert the HTML I give it from the click event.
Now initially I did this by just using the text field by itself. No nesting. This is the code:
sym.$("copy").html("Edge Rocks!");
OK, success! The text loaded just fine.
Now let's insert that text field inside of a symbol. And let's call that symbol 'content'.Now I try....
sym.$("content").$("copy").html("Some new text");
Result? Nothing.
Tried using stage instead of sym and even added a var stage = sym.getComposition().getStage() statement before that. Nope.

1st the setup:
General map is loaded
2. On a click event, an larger image of the region is loaded with the following code. On mouseover the name of the county appears and on click a popup (symbol) shows some info.
$('<img id="region1" width="310" height="475" src="images/region1.png" usemap="#region1">'+'<map name="region1">'+...
'<area id="Dallam" shape="rect" title="Dallam" coords="29,17,97,58"/>'+.....
3. In the popup symbol, I want the large image map to be remove on the click event of the button: "View another region" . I have the following code which does not work (the image is not removed) resulting in what you see below:
sym.playReverse();
sym.getComposition().getStage().stop(0);
sym.getComposition().getStage().getElementById("region1").remove();
how do I remove the image (large image of the region in purple here loaded as described on 2.)?

I'm trying to show captions when the user clicks on a button (captionButton) symbol. All permutations below work for showing the captions but none of them work for showing the button ever again, though it does hide the captions.
// compositionReady script
var captionBar = sym.getSymbol("captionBar");
var captionButton = sym.getSymbol("captionButton")
sym.$("captionButton").css('cursor', 'pointer');
[code]....

Is there a way to "eval" or dynamically set a symbol name that has been parsed from XML to build a symbol path? For example, I'm trying to dynamically set a variable to the path of a sysmbol already on the stage, but it's not working correctly:
var xmlSymName = $('symName', this).text(); // where symName = "sym4" from a parsed XML node
var whatPOI = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("sym1").getSymbol("sym2").getSymbol("sym3").getSymbol(xmlSymName).getSymbolElement();
Basically I have a lot of points on a map and I'd like to be able to name the points along with other data like tooltip callouts, etc populated via XML then loop through the XML to build the points of interest on the map. If I can get the above working I can place that variable path reference into an array and grab the data from it later. But the path is not working the way I have it.

In my project I have an iframe, and I want to open a link in that iframe. But with a button which is outside the iframe. I thought that putting the name of the iframe in the target area might work. And in Safari work, but not in Firefox and Internet Explorer. These browsers opens the link in a new window, even changing the name in the target.

I couldn't find much about the templates in Adobe Edge so I decided to go ahead and use them as I expected them to work. I thought it'd be convenient to essentially copy-paste a page so that I didn't have to re-enter code for each page (like buttons and backgrounds and such), so I made an initial page with all the right code, then "Save As Template"-ed it with the name "2013_portfolio". To create a variation page off of it, I went to "Create From Template" next, selected the template I had created, and it opened, as I expected. I saved it under a different name (in this case, "2013_home.html" was the original page, and I saved a variation as "2013_resume.html").
At this point, I realized I had forgotten some code in my original template, so I went back, deleted the variation, made changes to the original, and saved over the first template. I saved over the original template a few times doing this, but I always made sure it was saving over the original template so that I wouldn't end up with weird copies. (or so I thought.)
So eventually I got the template right and made my variations (same names). Curiously enough, when I looked in the folder that had been created as "2013 portfolio" (the template name), I couldn't see the "2013_resume.html" page that I had just made. Odd, well, I kept pushing forward. I made a few little changes then saved it, and made another variation page called "2013_uxdes.html" .
When I looked at my folder though, I found a baffling sight. I now had three folders, with strangely nested folders within them:
1. 2013_portfolio > edge_includs, "2013_home.an" and its associated files
2. 2013_portfolio1 > 2013_portfolio > 2013_portfolio > edge_includs, "2013_home.an" and its associated files
3. 2013_portfolio2> 2013_portfolio, edge_includs, "2013_home.an" and its associated files, and "2013_resume.an" and its associated files > (within that 2013_portfolio folder:) "2013_home.an" and its associated files and "2013_uxdes.an" and its associated files
sooo... I have three auto-created folders, each with confusing nesting and no centralization. What I was expecting was this:
2013_portfolio> edge_includs, "2013_home.an", "2013_resume.an", "2013_uxdes.an" and all their associated files
I don't want a huge mess of folders that I have to navigate like a maze. What happened? In the meantime, I plan on deleting all of it and just making a new template, but... well, I hope this is a bug and not on purpose.

What is the syntax for retrieving the name of the symbol that has been clicked on?
$sym.symbolName
$sym.name
$sym.getAttribute("name");
e.target.name
e.target.symbolName
I can get e.target.id fine, but it's a mixture of Edge generated identifiers and my symbol name.

I have some codes like this:
function myFunc(name) {
var $symbol = sym.$(name);
//I want to do something with $symbol depending on their id, for example
//$item.appendTo($symbol);
//so $item will append to the corresponding symbol
}
[Code]...
I tried .attr('id') and it seems not the id I want.
EDIT: indeed I want to get the selector inside myFunc

I start with several items on the stage, each an iteration of the same symbol. When I click on one, it performs an opening animation, then pauses. When I click on another, the first symbol un-pauses on its timeline, animating back to original position, while the second one I clicked plays its opening animation till its pause. Each of the symbols can tell the already deployed symbol to "play itself off."I'm sure this was done in Flash all the time, and there's a Javascript solution.

How to create two instances of the same symbol and change the texts and images inside the instances to have different texts (so I mean different from the other instance)?
Somehow, instead of using dynamic creation by using code, I can't manage this. Everytime I change a text inside A (instance of symbol1), the text of B (instance of the same symbol1) is also changed. The same with images. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I can't imagine symbols are always reference types, 'cause what's the meaning of having symbols then?

I have a symbol called "A." I needed 2 copies of it, so I duplicated A and renamed the new symbol to B. I now have A and B, identical copies of each other.
I navigated inside symbol A where I entered another symbol, "A1." Inside A > A1, I removed an image and added another image. No problem so far.
Then, I returned to the stage and navigated into symbol B > B1. To my surprise, the same image change I made in A > A1 already appeared in B > B1 (even though I duplicated A **before** making this change).
When I change the image inside B > B1, that same change is now present back in A > A1.
It's as if these two symbols, A and B, are mirrors of each other, even after being modified. Trouble is, I don't want mirrors. I need them to be slightly different.
I thought the Duplicate step might be my problem. I started over (both by undoing several steps and by closing and creating a new document entirely). This time, I copied A and pasted it onto the stage. I ran into the same problems.
Ok, next guess: this time, I entered symbol A and copied its elements/sub-symbols. I went back to the stage and pasted them there. Selected these elements/symbols and converted to a new symbol. Same problem!

When I try to add a click event on a symbol, I can't access to the symbol, only to the parent. For example, if on the event click on a specific symbol A I add the code
var symbolElement = sym.getSymbolElement();
symbolElement.hide();
It will hide the parent of A, instead of hiding A. How do I access to A?

I need to hide a symbol on my main stage dynamically, ie without hardcoding it on the timeline. So I tried this within an IF ELSE statement:
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("Box_Symbol").hide();
I also tried this:
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("Box_Symbol").css({"display","none"});
Clearly these are not working..

I have a keyframe where I must to upload a random series of symbols, and I do it with the script:
var myVar = Math.floor((Math.random()*6)+1);
var stage = sym.$("Stage");
var myAni = sym.createChildSymbol("Symbol_" + myVar, "stage");
myAni.appendTo(stage);
The script works fine, but, at NEXT keyframe I must load another series. The problem is that the symbol loaded in the previous keyframe is still present and the new symbol overlaps it.How can I unload or discard the previous symbol?
