Swap Symbol not available when components selected

Issue


If a component instance is selected, the Swap Symbol button in the Property Inspector is not selectable.

Reason


Prior to Macromedia Flash MX 2004, components could be swapped with other symbols and other components. However, because of changes in the component architecture in Flash MX 2004 this is no longer possible. This affects Flash MX 2004, Flash 8 Basic and Flash 8 Professional.

(Ref. 68949)

Solution


In Flash MX 2004 and Flash 8, component instances must be replaced manually.
