Adding colour to one symbol blocks the view of another symbol

Question

Hello,

I am working on an animation in adobe animate and I have included several symbols in my animation. Whenever I try to fill one symbol with colour my other symbols are affected and they start to disappear underneath the colour of a previous symbol.

I have ensured that whenever I add colour I am editing within the symbol's layer.

I have tried to modify the symbols to move them to the back or to the front but that does not work. I have tried to lock symbols and hide them before I colour other symbols but ultimately the same issue occurs where the colours of different symbols blocks the view other symbols.

Many thanks for your help!

It is a symbol.So my problem occurs when I colour the mountains in the background this blocks the main bounce symbol. what kind of symbol? and your bounce layer is below everything else, so if you color anything in any other layer, you expect it to cover whatever is in the bounce layer.

if you edit an object that's on the main stage while still on the main stage, you will edit that instance only.

if you double click that main stage object you will start editing on the object's timeline and that will edit all other instances, too.

if you edit a library symbol, that will change all instances of that symbol
