View 2 RepliesI'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.
Here is the SWF in to which I want to load it:

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.)
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 increased the size of my stage to 1280 x 1024 and now objects on the periphery have disappeared. When I zoom in they appear, but when I zoom out or export the movie the objects in the center are there but the objects around the edge do not appear. If I add an object and drag it to the edge I can watch it disappear as I am dragging it, but when I zoom in it is there. I have no masks and I need to create the video at the higher resolution, so I cannot resize the stage smaller.

I'm currently working on a LARGE flash presentation broken up into many small flash movies. the files play fine in the timeline, but SOMETIMES when publishing as .swf, the text is not visible, but all the other objects and tweens play as normal. My co-worker is also having this same issue, but we can not figure out why. It seems random and does not happen with all of the files. We are copying and pasting symbols from file to file. i don't think that is the issue, though. i wonder if anyone else is experiencing this or knows why. causing LOTS of extra time spent remaking presentations.
I am trying to create a very simple 'fruit/slot machine' effect using moving numbers, and a mask.I want the numbers to start at 0,000, spinning through to 1,700. The '1' and '7' work fine, but the two '00' disappear during the tween, then reappear at the end (I have a 'stop' in place).I have the spinning numbers as a 'movie clip', and I have tried uisng 4 different number clips (at the moment 1 clip is duplicated).
View 2 RepliesThis has happened to me and other co-workers multiple times lately and it appears to have started around the time CS5.5 was loaded on our computers. What will happen is, we will have a file with multiple pngs/jpgs imported in and placed across the timeline. They will import fine and they swf will publish out fine. We will save the fla and close it. Then later we will open the fla back up and the images will all be gone from the library and obviously, in turn, removed from the timeline.
View 4 RepliesWhile 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,
View 11 RepliesI 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 ProIf 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'm teaching a bunch of kids to use flash at school using CS4. One of the kids is having problems with the image that he is moving with the bone tool. After about eighty frames the image disappears but the bones stay. How do we get the image to stay?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a Flash animation using the bone tool to animate arms and legs. I created my characters in Illustrator and copy/paste the individual elements (such as the arms/legs/body etc) into Flash, then convert them to symbols. From there, I use Modify>Break Apart to get the symbol into its most primitive state and the use the bone tool to create joints. I did a small bit of animation, and now whenever I make any modifications (like adding more library items or more poses) whenever I save then re-open the file, the bones are still there, but the image is gone. So right now I have what is supposed to be a girl jumping up and down, but her arms and legs have disappeared so she just looks like a floating body. I've re-created this file multiple times, and this continues to happen, but at different points during the animation so I cannot pinpoint one certain thing that could be causing this.
View 6 Replieswhen i draw anything using any tool on a layer it disappears as soon as i release the mouse button, then when i click the timeline it reappears again but when you are drawing having your image not on the screen makes it kind of impossible do draw anything I saw another guy with a similar problem who made this video [URL] I tried reinstalling the software ( im using the demo) whats going on? I was hoping to get to play around abit before my trial ended

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 RepliesI'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.
View 7 RepliesI've got a video embedded in directly in the fla. (It was a requirement and as 2.0 too) The video itself is in a movieclip. I use the video components such as the playbutton, pausebutton and the stopbutton. So far so good.I also use the seekbar component. The progress bar etc which are inside the seekbar works just fine. But I can't seem to get the seekbarhandle to work, or even make it visible. The thing is, that the video itself is in a movieclip and not in a FLVPlayBack. So things like mymovie.seekbar = bar or something like that won't work.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with an FLVPlayback component in Flash CS4 and I'm trying to target the seek bar handle, which according to what I've read so far, is created at runtime and it's assigned an instance name of handle_mc.I've tried targeting that, but with no success. After researching for most of my day and trying several different methods, I have no idea what else to do to have access to that handle and change its alpha property
View 1 RepliesI have been producing animation on my Mac using shape tweens and hints where necessaryUnfortunately when these files are then opened on one of my colleague's PCs the shape tweens appear broken as the hints have dissapeared.If the file is opened on another Mac this does not happen.I have yet to spend too much time focussing on testing the whys and wherefores of this problem, but wondered if this is a recognised issue or is a one off
View 1 Replieshow to reference the SeekBarHandle? I'm using the seekBar component to control a FLVPlayback of course and am trying to reference the scrubber or SeekBarHandle.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3 Actionscript2 I'm using the FLVPlayback component and using SteelExternalAll as my skin.I noticed that the SeekBarHandle does not move while the video is playing. I can drag the handle to go to different parts of the video, but it does not move by itself as the video plays.I've already tried setting the total FLV video length in the parameters, but that didn't work.
View 3 RepliesI've setup an FLVPlayback 2.5 component with no skin. Then I've added all the UI components and assigned them to the FLVPlayback instance. I'm using a PlayPauseButton, a SeekBar, a MuteButton, a VolumeBar and a FullScreenButton. All of the components had their graphics customized. Extra care was taken not to rename or delete any movieclips.
If I try the custom components by publishing the movie, everything works fine.The problem arises when I dynamically load this SWF into another one. The parent SWF loads the playback controls and instantiates everything and starts the video playerback.
What doesn't work is the SeekBar's and VolumeBar's Handle. It just doesn't appear. If I put a trace() in those MovieClips, they never appear on the console, as if they are never created.
I'm rewinding an FLVPlayer w/AS, but the little triangle on the seekbar doesn't move back to the start. The code I'm using is: videoComponent.stop(); videoComponent.seek(0); videoComponent.playheadTime = 0;

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.

All 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'm making a game, the cursor is replaced. However, when you fail and click try again, the cursor dissappears.
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?
