00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:02.04
- [Instructor] As you start
creating multiple screens,

2
00:00:02.04 --> 00:00:06.02
what you end up doing are
duplicating a bunch of elements.

3
00:00:06.02 --> 00:00:09.01
So these are all just
different text fields,

4
00:00:09.01 --> 00:00:10.09
and these are just separate graphics.

5
00:00:10.09 --> 00:00:12.05
Well, really what I want
to do is I'm going to

6
00:00:12.05 --> 00:00:14.07
link them all together, and
I want to have one symbol

7
00:00:14.07 --> 00:00:18.02
that controls all of these search buttons

8
00:00:18.02 --> 00:00:20.04
and all of these menu items, right?

9
00:00:20.04 --> 00:00:22.07
So to do that, I'm going
to open up the Assets panel

10
00:00:22.07 --> 00:00:25.05
right down here, this is
where these symbols will be.

11
00:00:25.05 --> 00:00:29.06
So I can just kind of zoom
in on any one of these,

12
00:00:29.06 --> 00:00:31.01
zoom in on the home page.

13
00:00:31.01 --> 00:00:33.05
We will take this magnifying glass.

14
00:00:33.05 --> 00:00:35.08
With it selected, clicking right there,

15
00:00:35.08 --> 00:00:38.00
I've added that symbol, and
that's what I want to do

16
00:00:38.00 --> 00:00:43.07
for all of these elements,
just adding them exactly

17
00:00:43.07 --> 00:00:46.06
as I'd expect to add them.

18
00:00:46.06 --> 00:00:50.00
I'd really want to do this
for every single thing,

19
00:00:50.00 --> 00:00:51.07
adding that in, adding this one in,

20
00:00:51.07 --> 00:00:56.09
and even for this logo,
let's add that as well.

21
00:00:56.09 --> 00:00:59.00
So I've done it for all of these elements,

22
00:00:59.00 --> 00:01:01.05
kind of coming down here,
I'd probably want to do it

23
00:01:01.05 --> 00:01:04.08
for this logo too, adding
that, just differentiating

24
00:01:04.08 --> 00:01:08.08
between those two, one's the
large one, one's the small one.

25
00:01:08.08 --> 00:01:12.05
And now I can just go ahead and do that,

26
00:01:12.05 --> 00:01:14.04
and really replace any one of these.

27
00:01:14.04 --> 00:01:16.00
Look how these have
changed, though, by the way.

28
00:01:16.00 --> 00:01:19.01
As I select them, they've
turned green, okay?

29
00:01:19.01 --> 00:01:22.06
So we can see something
that's not a symbol is blue.

30
00:01:22.06 --> 00:01:25.08
So I can delete this one and I can grab

31
00:01:25.08 --> 00:01:29.06
this magnifying glass and
put it right here, okay?

32
00:01:29.06 --> 00:01:33.00
Here's an even easier way,
because I want to delete

33
00:01:33.00 --> 00:01:37.02
all of these elements, and I
want to put the navigation,

34
00:01:37.02 --> 00:01:40.09
and I'll even delete that
element, in the same place.

35
00:01:40.09 --> 00:01:44.07
So by going to this
home screen right here,

36
00:01:44.07 --> 00:01:47.01
I'm going to select all of those elements.

37
00:01:47.01 --> 00:01:48.07
I'm going to select the magnifying glass.

38
00:01:48.07 --> 00:01:52.01
These are all of the symbols, okay,

39
00:01:52.01 --> 00:01:55.07
but selecting them all just like that.

40
00:01:55.07 --> 00:01:58.02
I have them all selected,
I'm going to copy them,

41
00:01:58.02 --> 00:02:01.04
and then I'm going to
go to my home alt page

42
00:02:01.04 --> 00:02:02.05
'cause that's where I want them to be.

43
00:02:02.05 --> 00:02:04.08
So this is the page that I'm now on.

44
00:02:04.08 --> 00:02:09.09
Watch as I do Paste, it's going
to paste them all into place.

45
00:02:09.09 --> 00:02:12.06
Okay, so that works out really fantastic

46
00:02:12.06 --> 00:02:15.08
once you have it all set
up, and I'd want to do that,

47
00:02:15.08 --> 00:02:19.00
again, for these other
pages, just replacing

48
00:02:19.00 --> 00:02:26.04
these graphics with the
actual symbols that I'm using

49
00:02:26.04 --> 00:02:32.00
by deleting them all and
bringing in the symbols

50
00:02:32.00 --> 00:02:37.05
where the graphics ones were.

51
00:02:37.05 --> 00:02:41.04
Okay, so you can see I
have all of the elements

52
00:02:41.04 --> 00:02:45.00
are now symbols, all the
ones that are repeated.

53
00:02:45.00 --> 00:02:47.06
Up here even, I do want to point out that

54
00:02:47.06 --> 00:02:52.05
currently if you use a
symbol, you can't resize it.

55
00:02:52.05 --> 00:02:55.00
So that's the current state,
that could change tomorrow

56
00:02:55.00 --> 00:02:57.04
for all I know, but you can
see how this is laid out.

57
00:02:57.04 --> 00:02:59.07
These are all symbols, I'm
just selecting each one,

58
00:02:59.07 --> 00:03:02.03
I see that it's green, that is great,

59
00:03:02.03 --> 00:03:06.08
because again, I can make
sure that is a symbol

60
00:03:06.08 --> 00:03:10.07
and even as I start to change
any one of these elements

61
00:03:10.07 --> 00:03:13.09
like this magnifying
glass, if I happen to maybe

62
00:03:13.09 --> 00:03:16.09
make this highlight come
from the other side,

63
00:03:16.09 --> 00:03:20.04
notice how it changes off
to the side over here.

64
00:03:20.04 --> 00:03:22.02
You can see how it changes accordingly.

65
00:03:22.02 --> 00:03:25.02
It's going to change for every single one.

66
00:03:25.02 --> 00:03:26.05
That's how that works.

67
00:03:26.05 --> 00:03:29.06
Now, when it comes to
text, I want to show you

68
00:03:29.06 --> 00:03:31.08
right down here, if I want to change this

69
00:03:31.08 --> 00:03:35.06
from hikers to climbers, as I change that,

70
00:03:35.06 --> 00:03:39.06
that can be an individual
element that I've changed

71
00:03:39.06 --> 00:03:42.00
or what I can do is if I right-click,

72
00:03:42.00 --> 00:03:44.03
I can update all symbols.

73
00:03:44.03 --> 00:03:46.09
'cause I want it to say
climbers everywhere,

74
00:03:46.09 --> 00:03:49.06
you can see it says
climbers everywhere now.

75
00:03:49.06 --> 00:03:51.03
In fact, I'll just double-click
and I'll change it back,

76
00:03:51.03 --> 00:03:55.00
hikers, so again, you can
have it separate as a one-off

77
00:03:55.00 --> 00:03:58.08
of you can update all
symbols just like that.

78
00:03:58.08 --> 00:04:03.00
In fact, if you decide you
want to maybe break it apart,

79
00:04:03.00 --> 00:04:06.06
you can ungroup this
symbol, so it's basically

80
00:04:06.06 --> 00:04:09.09
going to break it apart and
no longer be a symbol at all

81
00:04:09.09 --> 00:04:10.09
if you want to do that.

82
00:04:10.09 --> 00:04:12.09
So really, your options are limitless

83
00:04:12.09 --> 00:04:16.04
when it comes to symbols,
and they get to be invaluable

84
00:04:16.04 --> 00:04:20.05
as you start to create many,
many screens like I have here.
