I have a movieclip on my main stage that has two frames within it, both of which arepopulated by XML data. The data loads fine and I can move to frame two, but when I return to Frame 1 the data fields populated by XML are blank
View 4 RepliesAll symbols have stopped rendering while in the IDE. They publish fine, but I can't see them on stage.
Details: Flash Pro CS4 10.0.2 Mac OS X 10.5.8 on MacBook Pro w/ 4GB RAM.Objects that are not symbols render fine (shapes, groups, text, components).Symbols are selectable and show the blue selection boundary.Symbol selection is constrained to the shape of the symbol, not the bounds.The 'empty clip' handle is shown for each symbol(and effects / filters are rendered on it).The layers are not hidden, and switching to outine doesn't change the appearance.All files opened on this Mac show this behavior(IDE pref setting for don't display symbols?) .Files openfine on other machines (PC & Mac).I trashed the 'Flash CS4 Preferences' file, but it didn't fix it.Here's the IDE view of the stage:
I made a 3d box using flash cs4 (ive made one using imported images as the sides and another one using vector siding made in flash) Both times, when ive finished the box and rotate it, sides will dissapear then reappear, depending on where the box was in its rotation. For instance, when you look at it dead on, the front side seems opaque, but when i start rotating it, the fron side, at certain angles, becomes transparent and you can actually see INSIDE the box thru the wall, then as it moves it becomes solid again. I am trying to make a presentation for work of a package, rotating 360 degrees on its y axis, but keep getting these odd disapearing sides.
View 1 RepliesI have an odd issue while using FlashCS4.
I have a textfield that, when set to STATIC TEXT works absolutely fine, in the correct font. If I set it to DYNAMIC TEXT, the text shows up as Arial or some other default on systems where the selected font isn't available. It shows up in the proper font on systems that have the font installed.

Extremely frustrated with this. I've created a simple class that extends the UIComponent. I create an instance of this class in a parent class and utilise the 'addChild' method to add it to the parent. I've overridden the 'updateDisplayList' method of the extended UIComponent to add my own drawing routine using the 'graphics' object.
My problem occurs when I start attempt to change any of the following properties (x , y , width, height) either directly or using 'move' or 'setActualSize' because the UIComponent will no longer display - prior to changing any of these properties the object displays fine. I know the object is still there, the 'updateDisplayList' method is still being called (as I'm calling 'invalidateDisplayList' after each change) and it correctly reports the changes.
I'm using the cs3 combobox control. I want the prompt "Select a City"to persist, but it disappears as soon as you select an item in the list. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've created a new snippet in the Code Snippets panel in Flash CS5. However, it doesn't appear anywhere in the panel. Does anyone know where it's gone?
View 1 RepliesIm new to flash and doing my best to teach myself.Im using CS3.I've already been working on this project for a while, and I don't know why this is all of the sudden happening.I have a text graphic that I want to create a motion tween with.I created a new layer for it, and drug it to the stage.If I tested the movie at that point, it looked fine and didn't move. If I tried to move the original keyframe, or added a motion tween, it would look fine when I played it on the stage, but when I go to "test movie", its either not on the screen at all, or its in a totally different position.
View 1 RepliesI have a list component that has hard-coded labels on it (for testing). I then rotate the list component 90-degrees and notice the text disappears(during design time).
I test the file and the labels do not show up also during runtime.
I can get the labels to show if I rotate the component back to its' original state.

View 1 RepliesWe're putting together one of those "greeting spokesperson" videos for our website. The video is about 30 seconds long, and on the first load, it always disappears in the middle of a sentence. Refresh the page, and it works fine thereafter. The video plays through a FLV Player inside a SWF. The SWF is 695 frames long and has the following characteristics: 'fade-out' alpha tween starting at Frame 685A Stop action at the very last frameThe following code on the FLV player:
on (complete) {
getURL('javascript:removeIt();'); }
I am trying to randomize the positions of MovieClips in a Vector. to be added to the main stage's display list. I have this function that generates the MovieClips with their properties:
private function initMovieClips():Vector.<MovieClip>
{
var initVec:Vector.<MovieClip> = new Vector.<MovieClip>();

can anyone explain when I goto publish my flash file certain graphics and text are disappearing from the swf file?
For instance just some static text and also a graphic i've copied three times.. two show up but the third doesn't? really annoying help!
i am loading an external .txt file and am displaying. its working fine. but when am trying to split the specified values, the value was disappearing. i mean except that splitted value everything is displaying... how to get that.

its an xml string based. now i want to store the picture thumb value in one array value, and description value in another..... like tat..
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.

I'm having trouble loading a SWF that contains a FLV movie into another SWF.
Here on its own is the SWF that I want to load:

You'll see that the movie and the controls appear and work properly.

If you click the white rectangle at the bottom, it will load comback.swf into Level 1 but the FLV and the controls are missing. (Somtimes the FLV appears w/o the controls.)

View 0 RepliesI found a script to make the animation follow the mouse movement and it needed to stay in fixed boundaries. I have 3 different mc 1 behind the other and moving at a different pace to give a illusion of perspective. But here are my issues;1-It works but when I open a new window in the browser the mc(s) are disappearing. 2-And I would really need to ease or smooth the animation a little. I would like the mc(s) to continue to move and stop slowly after I already stopped moving the mouse. how to script both or even 1 of these ? Here's the code I am using now;
function loopX(e:Event):void
{
var xDist:Number = mouseX - 24000

I usually work with after effects, and i made this animation using it.Now I'm trying to import this short clip into a website by Wix websites..I exported the movie in FLV from after effects.I Need to put the movie on the homepage of the website, make it play once and then disappear entirely so that you can see the website hiding behind it. Now it cant be anything but SWF. No HTML or anything .any way to do it?
View 3 RepliesI'm customising a tutorial from "Flash 3d" book. Basically its a horizontal/panorama scroller but I don't want to have a custom cursor like they suggest so I have deleted all the bits of actionscript relevant to the cursor.But for some reason when I test the movie the cursor keeps disappearing at randomly on and off when scrolling.Please, can anyone see anything in the code that could make the cursor disappear ? I've checked there isn't any more actionscript in the hidden elsewhere in the file.

I am having a problem with a swf completly disappearing when using wmode at all. When wmode parameter is removed, the swf appears fine. The bug only occurs in FF on a PC (and only some of the time at that ). When theres only a limited amount of html code in the surrounding page (even with wmode ), the swf is visible, however at a certain point, ANY extra line of code causes it to break.

View 8 RepliesI have knowledge of HTML but this is my first flash project, and I think I'm way over my head. I followed a tutorial explaining how to make menu buttons and I realized that the actionscript for a drop down menu should work for what I'm trying to do. So I finally have everything the way I want it but I'm pretty sure I have a bit of wasted code in there. Now, my issue is when I play my flash and move my mouse really fast over the flash object sometimes two menu buttons appear. I'm sure it is because of the ._alpha > 0 code I'm using but I dont know another way around it. If you have any advice PLEASE share!! Here is a link to the swf file...http:[url]....

I have child movie in a project that contains a FLV Playback instance with an associated Seek Bar component. The child movie fades in and fades out when a button is pressed. When a the child movie fades-out, the handle of the seek bar is retained. If I watch the movie multiple times, multiple seek bar handles remain behind.

I have a screen in a Flash window with four TextFields(just regular text, no html formatting).If I tab from one TextField to the next, select all the text (using keyboard command), and then start typing, the text formatting is removed.
This does not happen if I click into the TextField before tabbing into it.Even clicking into a TextField, placing the insertion point at the begging of the text, selecting via keyboard, and typing does not reproduce the effect.I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the TextField receiving focus, but am not sure how to work around it as there is no restricted order to type into TextFields.
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?
View 10 RepliesI have a simple drag and drop game which consists of a scale and multiple rocks that you can place on either side of the scale. If you get the rock placed on the correct side the first time, you get ten points, which is reflected in a dynamic text box in the upper right hand corner. If you get it wrong, you get zero poitns even if you get it correct the second time. That all works fine. These rocks are also double-click-able and when you do that it will bring up some information about that rock. You can close that window and then go about your business. That works fine as well.
Well recently I added an instructions button into the mix (just in case you want to see the instructions from the beginning again) and it follows the same sort of logic as opening the window when you double-click on a rock. Only with this, it is just with a click. I get to the window just fine, shows the instructions and everything. Then I close it, that works fine too. Then the really interesting thing is, when I go to place another rock and when it is placed correctly, the score disappears. It just vanishes. This doesn't happen if I'm looking at the info of the rocks and then continue to play the game. It's only after viewing the instructions and closing it out.[code]...
