Update or replace shared symbols
You can update or replace a movie clip, button, or graphic symbol in a document with any other symbol in a FLA file accessible on your local
network. The original name and properties of the symbol in the destination document are preserved, but the contents of the symbol are replaced
with the contents of the symbol you select. Any assets that the selected symbol uses are also copied into the destination document.
1. With the document open, select a movie clip, button, or graphic symbol in the Library panel and select Properties from the panel Options
menu.
2. If the Linkage and Source areas of the Symbol Properties dialog box are not showing, click Advanced.
3. To select a new FLA file, click Browse.
4. Navigate to a FLA file that contains the symbol to use to update or replace the selected symbol in the Library panel, and click Open.
5. Navigate to a symbol, and click OK.
6. Do one of the following:
CS5: In the Symbol Properties dialog box, under Source, select Always Update Before Publishing and click OK.
CS5.5: In the Symbol Properties dialog box, under Authortime Sharing, select Update Automatically and click OK
Define assets for sharing in a project (CS5.5 only)
Sharing assets among FLA files in a project allows you to edit the asset in one file and see the changes reflected in the other FLA files that use the
asset.
1. Create a Flash project. See Create projects.
2. In a FLA file in the project, for each library asset you want to share with other FLA files in the project, do one of the following:
Open the Library panel and select the Link checkbox next to the asset name.
With the asset selected in the Library panel, choose Properties from the panel Options menu and then click the Share with Project
button.
3. In the Timeline or on the Stage, copy layers, frames, or Stage items containing shared assets.
4. In a separate FLA file in the same project, paste the layers, frames, or stage items into a separate FLA filer in the same project.
