flash (macromedia): Hi I am working on a lip syncing tool for Flash. When the user presses a key,
I need Flash to select only the mouth symbol of the character. I was thinking
I could loop through all of the symbols in that particular frame, and when one
with the word "mouth" in its name is found, select that symbol.

If that didn't make any sense, I basically need to access the symbol's name
from the library. Is this possible?

I hope that was somewhat coherent.
Thanks

You could use one movieclip and put the dawings in separate key frames with
their own labels, then use the label names to select what you want displayed.

Or, if you want to proceed from the Library, when you create the movie clip,
click the Advanced button in the New Movie Clip pop-up window, check the Export
for Actionscript check box and give the clip a descriptive Linkage name. This
is the name you will use when attaching the movie to the stage in AS. (You can
also access this dialogue by right-clicking the MC in the Library and chosing
Linkage from the pop-up menu)

Hope that helps!
