I'm making the slow and painful migration from Flash to Flex, but I'm running into a dead end on one particular area: accessing and manipulating properties of symbols in a loaded SWF.
The SWF is actually a simple library of a detailed parts illustration. I would like to load the entire SWF in position, and be able to change the attributes (i.e. colors) of individual symbols (or parts of the illustration). I can load, display and manipulate each symbol separately, but I need the parts to remain in place. The original art was created in Illustrator and exported as SWF using the symbols palette. I can always go back to Flash, but I'm forcing myself to move forward and do this project in Flex (baptism by fire!!). I'm just having trouble getting my head around this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
