I am trying to make a flash movie in flash cs4. All goes well but whenever I return to the scene and then double click on a movie clip or double click on a movie clip in the library I can get to the desired clip but the workspace all turns black and I cannot see the edge of my document /artboard.Sorry if this a silly overlook on my part but I'm stuck and cannot get the proper view back.

I am on a MAC with two (2) user profiles.
When I launch Flash builder, I am getting a "workspace in user" message, and Flash Builder keeps prompting me to choose a workspace and it's pointing to the other user's profile.
I keep pointing it to my workspace under "my documents" and I check the following box:
Use this as the default and do not ask again.
However, every time I open up Flash builder, it's asking me again? Is there any way to stop this? Like, is there some file I have to delete or something?
I'm creating a fullscreen projector that has an FLV file on the stage. I successfully got the FLV to appear non full screen by using the answers for the following question:
Non-fullscreen FLVPlayback
However, the background still goes black just before the FLV comes to the stage.
It runs fine when the projector is not set to fullscreen - background is there along with my close button.
I am displaying a series of Flash animations in a WebView. The screen goes black each time I load a new animation—this is visually distracting and I would like it to leave the screen white. I have tried changing the WebView background color, embedding the Flash animation in HTML and specifying the background color, and making the WebView "Invisible" until the page has finished loading but nothing seems to have the desired effect. The Flash animation does not display the black background when run on a PC.
View 1 RepliesI created a new class with private vars and public get properties.When I create a new instance of the class, it loads text files content to the private vars - it probably takes a bit of time to load it.After the new instance created, I try to get the value of the private var with the get property:
var item1:MyItem = new MyItem("0001");
trace(item1.ItemName);
Well, The output is blank.The string that ItemName points to is not undefined, it contains data.So, it's like a timing issue, and ActionScript is probably running the code using background multi-threading, so it's calling the trace command before it finished to run all methods in the MyItem c'tor (methods that load the text file data into the String var that ItemName points to).
Is there any way to force ActionScript avoid using this unwanted "background multi-threading", and run the code normally (by the order of the commands)? I mean like "Don't run the 2nd command until you finished running the 1st one".
i embedded a swf into a page recently. I got it outsourced as i dont know my flash but the guy sent it to me like this.[code]however, the logo was then black in the background. which was really annoying, cause i'd asked for a transparent background and now i had a black one which didnt match the gradient of the header of the page.so i went back to the logo designer and i asked, he didnt know how to make the background transparent with this new code i've used. So, i asked him to make a new one with the gradient in the background. he did, and there are still black bits to the side of the logo..so i thought best to come to a knowledgeable place and ask - how do i set the background for this embedded swf as transparent?URL...

Facing one problem with Flex builder "Refreshing workspace" and "Building workspace" over and over... Am wasting almost 10min on every build. running FB 3 on my win 7 , 64 bit , 3 gig Ram.
View 1 RepliesWhat I am trying to achieve might be trivial, however I am loading a PNG mask which does not have a transparent background, but rather a black background, with the shape defined on top in white (the actual mask which needs to be applied). Apparently Flex expects me to provide a mask with a transparent background for it to work, or am I missing something?
If that's the case, could I transform the bitmapData which I am loading so that it treats black color as transparent?
i have and opening sequence to an HTML site, that has two sides to it. basically you have two boxes that are buttons when you click on one of the boxs they load a flash sequence that goes into one or the other side of the site, but i need one side to have a black background and the other to have a white bg. I have looked into flash sending a variable to the HTML but have no real clue as to the correct syntax.[code]

View 3 RepliesI have a flash intro and when ever I preview it,the intro background turns to black instead of staying the way it should be.Can somebody please help me out here,I need this flash intro for a website.Please explain this to me in simple terms because im pretty NEW to adobe.
Note I've tried everything to make the flash background stay the way it was but nothing I do works.
I need a few minor changes done to my site such as changing the text on the About page and also changing it so that when you view a picture in any of the galleriess the background is completely black, right now it just fades out the text and thumbnails and is not entirely black.
I have never used Flash before but am pretty good with Photoshop, Illustrator and a little bit of Dreamweaver. Would these changes be difficult for someone who has never used Flash but can pick things up fairly quickly? I have all the files for my website, any suggestions where I should look first to make the changes I require.
I have a HTML box and load a local html file from the project. In this HTML file I use jquery and I want to load an image from my user directory. I see the image from my user directory but jquery doesn't works. I get this error:

But if I load an image from the app workspace, everything works fine (I see the image and Jquery works). Is this a policy problem? The error says that is a "null object reference" problem, but this can't be true...

View 8 RepliesI am producing a fullscreen projector (.exe) file and have some large videos that cause the background to go black when they come on the stage. When I test the movie (not in fullscreen), it works just fine.
[Code]....
I load this clip:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myGalleryXML = new XML();
myGalleryXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myGalleryXML.load("gallery.xml");
[Code] .....
In the last frame of my time line I add:
removeMovieClip("container_mc" );
The movie disappears but the placement turns black.
I added:
this._alpha = 0;
But the other clips of the main movie doesn't load.
I have assembled a preloader using the method from this site, everything seem to work except for one problem My site supposed to start from a black background and the image fading in. However once I placed the preloader the image dose not fade in but appears right away to the full strength after the preloader gone to 100% Looks like it jumps to a few frames after the first frame of the main swf file. Please take a look at [URL] If you reload again you will see how the image fade in.

I can handle flash quite ok at the moment, but now I'm learning AS3.However, sometimes when I start Flash, the workspace "Actions" is larger than my screen.

Viewing it in either Gecko, Webkit or Presto, an unintentional vertical space occurs after the object, before the second div [URL]. Removing whitespace from between tags, or explicitly setting margin and padding does not help.
