Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my question.
I found one thread that discusses basically what I am trying to do, but the solutions didn't work for me and it looks like it didn't work for the original poster. The link to this discussion is: Re: Symbol accessible inside adaptive container? I am using the edgecommons script to load either 'layout1080' or 'layout600' into a symbol on the main stage called 'adaptiveContainer' depending on the width of the web browser. This all works great, and I can control the playhead from within either 'layout1080' or 'layout600' (by using getParentSymbol) but when I try to access it from a button within 'adaptiveContainer' or on the stage, I have no luck with any of the solutions I have tried.
User elainfinnel had what looked to be a good solution, but after trying it I can't get it to work. Their suggestion was:
In the symbol definition, add a creationComplete event and add the following line:
sym.getParentSymbol().setVariable("currentSymbol", sym);
Then, in your Stage, you can access the symbol by doing this:
var mySymbol = sym.getSymbol("currentSymbol");
You can then refer to it as a symbol:
mySymbol.play("myLabel");
This seemed like a great solution to the problem I am having, but I can't seem to get it to work. When I inspect the element in firefox I can see the div class for 'adaptiveContainer' (div id="Stage_adaptiveContainer") but the div id for either 'layout1080' or 'layout600' doesn't show. The div id displays as a number (i.e. div id="Stage_##") that is generated at some point during the script. I am up to 53 now, and it changes every now and then. There doesn't seem to be any sign of the div id for 'layout1080' anywhere.
Thanks for reading and any help is greatly appreciated!
