Get the ID of a dynamically created symbol from library, INSIDE another symbol.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get the id from a dynamic created symbol from library.

When dynamically creating the symbol directly on the stage (or composition level), there's no problem.

But I just can't get it to work when creating the symbol inside another symbol. 

Below some examples using both "getChildSymbols()" and "aSymbolInstances" 

// USING "getChildSymbols()" ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //// 

// ON THE STAGE 

var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage");

var symbolChildren = sym.getChildSymbols(); 

console.log(symbolChildren[0].getSymbolElement().attr('id'));// ok eid_1391853893203

// INSIDE ANOTHER SYMBOL

var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement()); 

var symbolChildren = sym.getSymbol("holder").getChildSymbols(); // Am i using this wrong maybe?

console.log(symbolChildren.length)// returns 0 so can't get no ID either

// USING "aSymbolInstances"" ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///// 

// ON THE STAGE

var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item","Stage"); 

console.log(sym.aSymbolInstances[0]); // ok (i guess) x.fn.x.init[1] 0: div#eid_1391854141436

// INSIDE ANOTHER SYMBOL

var m_item = sym.createChildSymbol("m_item", sym.getSymbol("holder").getSymbolElement());

console.log(sym.getSymbol("holder").aSymbolInstances[0]); // Javascript error in event handler! Event Type = element 

In this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5691824 is written: "mySym.aSymbolInstances will give you an array with all "names" when you create symbols"

Could it be this only works on the stage/ composition level only and not inside a symbol? 

The following methods to achieve the same are indeed possible, but i simply DON'T want to use them in this case:

1) Storing a reference of the created symbol in an array and call it later by index.

2) Giving the items an ID manually on creation and use document.getElementById() afterwards.

I can't believe this isn't possible. I am probably missing something here.

Forgive me I am a newbie using Adobe Edge!
I really hope someone can help me out here.

Anyway, thnx in advance people!

Kind Regards,

Lester.
