I've created an element consisting of three paragraphs of text and animated within the element on its own timeline. This element has been turned into a symbol. We'll call this element "original".
I then copied original in order to make a second, similar element, and named the copy duplicate. When I double click on duplicate in order to modify it's timeline, I keep drilling down into original.
I've tried copy/paste from inside the Elements panel on the right and I've tried copy/paste from within the main stage timeline. In both cases, the remaned copy (duplicate) does not open and allow me to make changes without those changes being effected on the timeline of original.
I don't want a second, identical iteration of original, I want to use original as a template to build out a similar but different element/symbol called duplicate.
I am running the most current copy of EA - downloaded last night.
Thoughts?
Thank you.
Andy.
