DIVS and Symbols

smenegassi Nov 8, 2014 4:27 AM

Hi,

I need some help here.

I began a project with Edge version 4.0.1

I decided to upgrade to the new version because it is quite a big project and I was just at the first few pages.

On this project I have buttons inside Symbols to keep then together in a block, so it adapts better to different display sizes without overlapping.

Well, it happens that none of these buttons works in the new version. I ve been trying to understand for the last 2 days and today I found out that if I group these buttons on a DIV, out of their “host symbol” it works.

Why is that so ? Timeline ?

Thanks

Can you share the composition for us to take a look?
If it's a big composition, you can create a simple new composition demonstrating the issue.

If you open the _edgeActions.js file and search for symbols named:
btn_cemitiere_sym
cachedarmes_movie
but these are no such symbol in the symbol library, so if you delete the whole block of code manually from the _edgeActions.js file like below, things will work.

(function(symbolName) {
......................
.....................
})("btn_cemitiere_sym");

and

(function(symbolName) {
......................
.....................
})("cachedarmes_movie");

hth,

Have edited the _edgeActions.js file and uploaded it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/csm5unmk4qx8ug4/salleOlga_edgeActions.js?dl=0

Replace this with your existing file and it'll work. Let me know if it doesn't.

hth,

In the _edgeActions, there was actions associated with symbol named "cachedarmes_movie" but there is no such symbol if you see in the library panel, due to which it was unable to bind those actions to a non-existing symbol, hence causing the error.

What is confusing is that all other buttons not inside symbols were working....
