ActionScript 3.0 :: Disappearing Dynamic Image On Timeline
Apr 8, 2011
I've created a button that I turned into a library class and am pulling onto my stage (same as attachMovie is AS2). This button has a timeline which does a small amount of animation. In my AS, I am loading a thumbnail into each button class and am also assigning mouseevents of roll_over and roll_out to my button... this all is working so far. On roll_over the button's timeline plays to a point; on roll_out, the button's timeline plays to the end and then goes back to the first frame. BUT now my image is gone. Why? Here is my AS:

I have a problem where every time i close flash normally (it's not crashing) and fire it up again, my timeline panel is missing. I have to press ctrl+alt+t or window>timeline to bring it up again and reposition it. What's going on here?

While animating in Flash CS5 I have had all sorts of strange things happen, which never occurred in CS3 or CS4. Most recently, after drawing an image inside a movieclip symbol, I returned to the root timeline to noticed i had lost my entire timeline and every single layer. lot of work lost. All I had was a blank stage and no matter what I tried I could not get it back. The timeline panel was there, just completely empty.Prior to this, whenever I published a .swf to test my animation, i had several frames worth of blank stage before the animation was shown. For instance, my stage colour was a pale green, and all I saw was pale green for a split second. This got progressively worse before the issue mentioned above occurred.Another strange thing is that I get a completely random moviclip play at the end of my .swf. So,

I'm having problems with many files losing their assets from the timeline after a save and reopening the file in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. This is happens quite often now and there seems to be no pattern to it. For example, I will open an existing Flash animation complete with sound and artwork, make changes to the animation timing, test the SWF and everything looks good, then save. After reopening the exact same file, there will be audio that was on the timeline will be an empty frame. In addition, there is art work that was swapped out or updated to a character and the symbols becomes empty after reopening.

For anyone that has ever run into the flaw that makes dynamic content disapear in IE I've found the solutionThe issue is caching -- I'm not sure what causes the issue but I do know that in IE it tries to cache the PHP/XML doc and it screws everything upthe fix is to concatinate a random/unique string at the end of the load request - Like so-gStuff.load("link.php?cachebuster=" + new Date().getTime());works like a charm ... my problem in IE was when you clicked refresh or you clicked the button that loaded the information into the dynamic text field it would disapear.more info / detail can be found here

I add to a movieClip a number of images from an array, to be thumbnails using a Loader object, then into a bitmap Object, then into a movieClip object. The movieClip objects are added to a movieClip on the stage and resized and also eventListeners are added. This works fine.Next when I click on a thumbnail movieClip, I make a new main movieClip which is to store a bitmap. The bitmap I get from the same array as I got all the previous images (in the correct array position using a variable). This is then added to another movieClip which is on the stage. This all works fine but (and he's the teaser) for the life of me I cannot see why when the main movieClip is added to the stage movieClip, the thumbnail one disappears!I have no removeChilds, nothing is covering it, no unload();, so I must assume its just getting removed from the displayList for some weird reason. I've even tried using two Loader's and ton's of bitmap to movieClip to an array to try to get two copies of it but to no avail.
Code:
private function buildThumbArray()

I'm having issues with dynamic text disappearing under a specific circumstance. When the playhead enters the Photos frame the code below is executed. This code sets the text value of the linkTEXT textfield and adds a bitmap to the linkTHUMB mc. The code runs perfectly and everything is populated most of the time.
The exception... The website has 4 frames which it can navigate to (home, photos, order, contact). If I stay within the first three, each time I navigate to Photos the textfields and bitmaps will be populated and display correctly. However, if I navigate to the Contact page, either before or after I've already visited the Photos page, only the bitmaps will display.
Strangely enough, the textfields still trace their proper values. It also appears as if their parent movieclips are still in the display list since I get the hand cursor when I mouse over their x+y coordinates. If I trace the parent's numChildren property I can see the textfield is still a child.
So where is the text going, or why does it suddenly disappear? If the textfield is still there and it's on stage in the display list why isn't the text being displayed?

I'm loading an external .jpg into a mc. I have the code listed below, the problem is when I try to load another image the first one disappears before the second one is completely loaded. What I'm trying to accomplish is the first image will stay on the screen until the second one reaches 100% then they will simply switch.
ActionScript Code:
var backgroundloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
backgroundloader.addListener(this);
function onLoadInit(_mc:MovieClip) {
_mc._height = Stage.height;
_mc._width = Stage.width;
[Code] .....
So again this works fine, but now i have a button that onRelease has :
backgroundloader.loadClip("2.jpg", bgholder_mc);
So how can I keep 1 on the screen until 2 is completely loaded then switch them out ?

I have a static textfield using Myriad Pro bold font that, when set to STATIC TEXT works absolutely fine, in the correct font. If I set it to DYNAMIC TEXT and test the SWF, the text shows up as a system font; not Myriad Pro If I set it to EMBED CHARACTERS the text doesn't show up at all on ANY system, whether the font is installed or not.
I have tried adding the font to the Library and using that "Family" for Properties>Character in my dynamic text box, but get the same results as when I don't set that to EMBED CHARACTGERS. I've tried selecting the font for the textfield as both the standard OS Font, as well as the one with the Asterisk next to it, but get the same results both ways. The library font is set to "export for actionscript" and "on frame 1". I don't think it's an issue with the font not being available, as I'm able to see it when setting textfield to STATIC type, and I use the font in other CS4 products (Photoshop, etc.).

I have a .f4v on a layer using the FLVPlayback command. On top of that I have a dynamic text layer. It plays fine in a browser or at the exported resolution. When I use the command ("fullscreen", "true") or when I open the .swf and go full screen using CTRL-F the text disappears. I have removed the video and put the text on a solid background layer to determine it is the video causing this. I have also tried to convert the .f4v to a .flv and embed it in a .swf in multiple manners but the end result is always the same as the text disappearing.

I am having an issue with Timeline ActionScript code "disappearing" when instantiating a custom class.Here is the situation: I have created a CustomButton class that is extended by MenuButton. Both classes are represented by an AS file, but MenuButton also has a symbol in a FLA pointing to the MenuButton Class.All is good except for one scenario. Actionscript that I have placed on the timeline "disappears" (doesn't function) if I attempt to import MenuButton into another class, instantiate it, and then use it:
Code:
import assets.dashboard.buttons.MenuButton;
...
var currentMenuButton:MenuButton;[code].........
This ActionScript works fine if I embed the MenuButton symbol in another symbol and place it on the stage, but as soon as I do something similar to the above, the ActionScript in the timeline of MenuButton does not function. It acts as if the code is gone.

What I'm trying to do is find a way to have dynamic movieclips on separate timelines but within the same level. I tried the following but nothing is drawn on the screen: In the main timeline, frame 1:
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc1",1);
On the stage is a movieclip called mcOne bought in from the file library
In mcOne's timeline, frame 1:
Code:
mc1.lineStyle(2, 0x00ee00, 100);
mc1.moveTo(0,0);
mc1.lineTo(100,100);
trace("mcOne code");
While the trace outputs the message, no line appears when I test the movie.

I'll make a gallery of 122 images but I don't want to place each of them on the timeline or I can't call them, they should be included in the exported .swf or .exe file I guess what I need is something like an actionscript that would call the images imported to the library is that possible or is there a gallery like that?

I have a dynamic image scroller that scrolls right or left following where the mouse is. When you hover over the images, a pop-up box also appears with information. This scroller works perfectly fine within the mc scene, but once i drag the mc into the main timeline the mc doesn't smoothly scroll right or left. It's jumpy and the infobox doesn't work at all. How can I get it to work smoothly on the main timeline?

I'm working on a banner ad project where we're trying to send dynamic variables from one of our servers to position a movieclip that simply slides in from offstage and then does a little bounce. My AS2 frame script at the beginning of the tween sets the _x and _y properties of the clip successfully. But that seems to destroy all the movement of the tween. In other words, when I set those two positioning properties on the clip, it just sits there and no longer slides in or bounces. I've tried a lot of different values, but they all seem to kill the movement of the tween.

In my current project I'm building a waterfall. Each drop in the waterfall is generated from the waterfall.as class and added to the stage via addchild. Now I have a mask that I want all of those drops to use however I can't seem to get this to work. I've tried placing the mask on the timeline and I couldn't seem to access the mask from the waterfall.as file. I've also given the mask it's own class and added it dynamically to no avail.

I'm having problem with communication between an MC running on frame 1 and a dynamic textfield located on the main timeline on frame2. The MC running on frame1 is a user and password login. I want to grab the username (variable) from the inputfield within the MC for use on frame2 ( dynamic text ) on the main timeline.

I'm doing a project using ActionScript 2 where I'm loading in text from an XML file to dynamic text boxes. I'm loading everything in on the first frame, but there are boxes that do not exist in the timeline until frame 5 or so. Is there anyway I can access those to set their text property from the first frame

If you take a look at [URL] you see I created a timeline motion tween on the blue transparent image. Now I want to load this image via actionscript and follow the exact guidelines I gave there.
This is what I use in AS3:
Code:
loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(lastImage));
thisMovie.imageLoader.addChild(loader);
It does load the image, however it does not place it in the imageLoader I created in Flash (yes I gave it an instance name). This is the error I get (i.e. it doesn't access the imageLoader). It does when I put it in the first frame on the timeline, but then it doesn't follow the guidelines I gave in the timeline.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have a Movie Clip object with a timeline, and it has 3 layers: a layer to stop the timeline at the last frame, a layer with regular drawing with mask attribute and a layer containing a target movieclip with the instance named 'target', that is masked by the layer above.
The drawing is very simple, not even a movieclip, just vector drawing. It's supposed to show the target movieclip only on regions where the mask layer has some drawing, right?
So, I created the method to load an image, listen to the complete loaded event and add the image to the target masked movieclip, but it disappears after the first frame! If i delete the layer with the mask drawing, works fine.
Here's a smaller version of the code.
package
{
import flash.display.*
import flash.events.Event;

What I need is to build a page with a list of 5 links each stating a time. These links will be used to determine bands timeslots which is the fairest way I can possibly think of...kinda like drawing times out of a hat except over the web. I want to send this list of 5 different timeslots to a band, have them click a link and see their timeslot...(ex; 9:00pm - 9:45pm) and in the meantime...all the other links become inactive and disappear. This can be done 1 at a time so I can rebuild the list without the previously chosen time slot being an option...or it can be the first person who reads and choses gets the slot and the next person to view the page would see the page without the previous selection even shown. I would also like the selection to be emailed to my email address.
_____Here's how I would like it to look..._____
In order to be fair about timeslots, choose from one of the links below. The link you choose will contain your timeslot in which cannot be changed and you will not be able to choose another link after you have chosen. These links are random...no particular order and nobody knows what timeslot is in what link. Your selection will be emailed to me.
Choose your timeslot A
Choose your timeslot B
Choose your timeslot C
Choose your timeslot D
Choose your timeslot E

I created our website using Actionscript 2.0 and on several of our pages there is a drop-down text box that has a "close" button on it, which is just a movieclip located inside the text box movieclip. For some reason, if you stay on a page for a few minutes the close button disappears. The hand still shows up when you hover over where it was at and you can still click on it, but it just turns invisible. I'm not sure what's causing this.
