If you import or copy a library asset into a document that already contains a different asset of the same name, you can choose whether to replace the existing item with the new item. This option is available with all the methods for importing or copying library assets, including the following:
The Resolve Library Items dialog box appears when you attempt to place items that conflict with existing items in a document. A conflict exists when you copy an item from a source document that already exists in the destination document and the items have different modification dates. You can avoid naming conflicts by organizing your assets inside folders in your document's library. The dialog box also appears when you paste a symbol or component into your document's Stage and you already have a copy of the symbol or component that has a different modification date from the one you're pasting.
If you choose not to replace the existing items, Flash attempts to use the existing item instead of the conflicting item that you are pasting. For example, if you copy a symbol named Symbol 1 and paste the copy into the Stage of a document that already contains a symbol named Symbol 1, Flash creates an instance of the existing Symbol 1.
If you choose to replace the existing items, Flash replaces the existing items (and all their instances) with the new items of the same name. If you cancel the Import or Copy operation, the operation is canceled for all items (not just those items that conflict in the destination document).
Only identical library item types may be replaced with each other. That is, you cannot replace a sound named Test with a bitmap named Test. In such cases, the new items are added to the library with the word Copy appended to the name.
Note: Replacing library items using this method is not undoable. Be sure to save a backup of your FLA file before performing complex paste operations that are resolved by replacing conflicting library items.
If the Resolve Library Conflict dialog box appears when you are importing or copying library assets into a document, you can resolve the naming conflict.
To resolve naming conflicts between library assets, do one of the following: | |
