I have a problem when i click in mi asset with interaction

I have two assests when I click on them more elements appear below them and the scrolling is activated since all the options do not enter the screen, the problem is that if I click on the assets to close them and I am at the bottom of the scrolling they close and go up automatically but the buttons stop working, the buttons are seen where they should be but the action is shown in the previous position in which they were before clicking on them.

Hi. I want to create a feature where if user click ‘yes’ button, the card will be automatically be swiped to the right. If user click ‘no’, the card will be moved to the left. How to animate this? Secondly, if the user click in the middle, they will go to each individual card’s page. Let say I have 16 of these cards. How do I prototype this efficiently? This is the screen I want to prototype.

Cannot move a component within a table

Hi there, It might be a dummy question but I am new to Figma so I ask anyway. Within a table, I have a header, a few table lines, and a pagination component. My problem is that my pagination component is aligned on left, while I would like it to be centered. When I try to move it with the mouse, it comes back to the initial position. Do you have any idea how I can move the pagination component ? Should I change something in the table ? In the pagination component ? Thanks in advance !

Components not displaying after pasting to certain file

I’ve been experiencing a strange bug where some main components won’t display properly in certain files. Some components will be swapped out for completely different ones. I can copy the same screens (with the broken components) into another file and they’ll be displayed correctly. Nothing in the main component library has been changed. Has anyone else experienced this?

Change frame color with variable of color library

In my Figma project i have a color library imported that i’m getting this way. const availableLibraryVariable = await figma.teamLibrary.getAvailableLibraryVariableCollectionsAsync(); const colorsLibrary = availableLibraryVariable.find((library) => library.name === "colors"); Then i’m getting the variables in the library collection this way: const colorsLibraryVariables = await figma.teamLibrary.getVariablesInLibraryCollectionAsync(colorsLibrary?.key); This is one of the library items (color). { “name”: “background/law-school/primary”, “resolvedType”: “COLOR”, “key”: “6e07ad8def7c441404abc072ced5c85bccc9fa99” } This is the the color variable that i’m getting this way. const colorLibraryItem = colorsLibraryVariables[0]; const colorVariable = await figma.variables.importVariableByKeyAsync(colorLibraryItem.key); { id: “VariableID:6e07ad8def7c441404abc072ced5c85bccc9fa99/710:31” codeSyntax: Object WEB: “background/university/primary” description: “” hiddenFromPublishing: true key: “6

Component names not reflected accurately in assets panel

Hi there, I just implemented a token naming system to a Design System and there are a whole bunch of issues of how the components are now showing up & grouping in the assets panel. For example, this is how this component is named and structured: Field Kit/Desktop/Interactives/Component/Primer/Accessibility Controls But this is how it shows up in the assets panel: You can see in the assets panel the naming is not showing up 1:1 and none of the nesting is working. I have a feeling from another post here that may be because these components live on one page (the UI Components page you can see) of our DDS and there are components on other pages. But, I am not sure how that would mess up the naming structure from the component as it is published to an asset. Thank you!

Whiteboard in Figjam

Hello, I saw a button called “Whiteboard in FIgjam” or something like that wich copied all my frames from that page to a FigJam file, but I accidently closed it with the “x” button. How can I recover this feature? Is this a new update, from a plugin I somehow used or why was there that option?

How to change a variant of a component when clicking a different component/button?

Ideally the card be removed to the right when clicking ‘yes’, and card removed to the left when clicking ‘no’. Can anyone guide me how to do this? Here is the UI for reference.

Does instance layer hidden by variable mode increase memory usage?

I have a layer in my main component that I’m hiding using variable mode. This component’s instance is used in many places. Given that the layer is hidden in all instances and only visible when I switch to the other mode, does it increase memory usage?

Inactive variable mode

Hello I’m having issues with a variable mode which seems to be inactive. The inactive mode is seen in the image as “Company 1”. The other modes work just fine. Is there something I’m missing that will resolve this? I’m on the Professional license.

How to join a library

Hi everyone, I’m working on some designs pages that are based on a design system that another agency has created. This agency has shared the Design system Figma file with me. But in terms of library, I don’t know how to access this one. Is this something that the agency has to do, or do I need to create a duplicate of this Design System file and publish it by myself as a library? Sorry I’m not quite sure how to access libraries. Thanks Mercedes

Variant swap

Hey guys, This feature would be extremely helpful Feature request: "Variant swap" within component properties Share an idea Right now if I use a subcomponent I can only add an “instance swap” which doesn’t help me a lot of the times. For instance, if I embed a toggle component with an on/off variant there is no way for me to control that toggle switch at the parent level. More info 👇 Thanks, Chris

Video are missing a thumbnail option

What about adding the possibility to choose a thumbnail like for GIFs ? Quite often we use video which start with a dark screen, making it hard to see when not in prototype mode…

Creating a play button that plays a live feed

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. Hey all, thanks for taking your time to read this. I’m currently designing an app for a radio station I run. I just need a simple play and pause button to play the audio from the live radio station. I’ve designed a button and managed to use Punchcut Audio to trigger the live steam, but I’m having trouble with it functioning in preview mode and I can’t get the audio to stop once it starts. Could anyone offer any advise on creating a play/pause button that triggers and stop the live audio feed please? And perhaps an alternative to Punchcut. Cheers

Is there a way to assign multiple variable to one component?

I’m creating a contact web app (for NDA purposes I’m not using exacts, just getting close). There are several types of contacts the user can create, location, person, and item are examples. The user will have the option to search for contacts and apply advanced filters. For example, the user will be able to filter contact type, search for keywords, and use advanced filters for things like “First name - Contains - sam” (like mail rules) I would like to make the prototype as flexible as possible. So if the user searches for “Macy” it should return all contact types with that value. If the user wants to only see locations that have “Macy” they would select the Location option as the contact type. Then if they wanted to apply more filters they could add a rule that says “City - Contains - York” Then would see all Locations with Macy in the result that also have York in the city field. I would love to be able to assign multiple variables to an element. Then as a tester uses the prototype to
