SymbolInstance object
symbolInstance.firstFrame
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
symbolInstance.firstFrame
Description
Property; a zero-based integer that specifies the first frame to appear in the timeline of the graphic. This property
applies only to graphic symbols and sets the same property as the First field in the Property inspector. For other types
of symbols, this property is
undefined .
Example

element:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements[0].firstFrame = 10;
symbolInstance.forceSimple
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
symbolInstance.forceSimple
Description
Property; a Boolean value that enables and disables the accessibility of the object’s children. This property is equivalent
to the inverse logic of the Make Child Objects Accessible setting in the Accessibility panel. For example, if
forceSimple is true , it is the same as the Make Child Object Accessible option being unchecked. If forceSimple is
false , it is the same as the Make Child Object Accessible option being checked.
This property is available only for MovieClip objects.
Example
The following example checks to see if the children of the object are accessible; a return value of
false means the
children are accessible:
var areChildrenAccessible = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].forceSimple;
The following example allows the children of the object to be accessible:
fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].forceSimple = false;
