Within MovieClip - Pasteboard Turns To Color Of Stage
Jul 14, 2009
Flash CS4. When I enter a movie clip to edit the timeline the pasteboard turns to the color of the stage. The result: I can't see the edges of my stage. This is only within the MC. And only within one particular MC (I created another one and the pasteboard stayed 4% gray). When I take the content in the bad MC (via copy frames) and move it to the good one, the same thing happens: Pasteboard turns to the color of the stage. I've tried SFT-CTL-ALT double click. No luck. Strangely, this isn't happening in every FLA. I know it must have something to do with the content on that timeline, but what that is I have no idea.

I'm doing some tests and I'm trying to create a simple presentation. It's not something I'll be using online. I just want it to present some things at school. Since I don't know the resolution of the monitor at school, I wanted something I could max the window and rest with the content (stage) centered. At start, everything was working fine but sudenly the stage started to be aligned to top left when exported and windows maximized. Here's my code:
[code]....
The bkg.swf is an external background I'm using... it ajusts it's size to fill all the window automaticaly. When I first wrote this code, it was working fine. Than I added some objects and MC's to the stage and now whenever I export the file it's aligned to the top left of my window.

I'm trying to make an array with different color values. My problem is that when I do...
teamColor[i] = currentColor...
All color values in my array turn into the currentColor. (I would upload more code, but that would be a massive mess, considering that I have code everywhere with references from movie clips that are as far as 3 layers deep. However, this would be irrelevant anyways (probably), because I tested this with color values on my main timeline, without any references to or from anything deeply nested). I would like to add that I tried adding strings in there and that the strings remained their original, intended, value, while the color exhibited the same phenomenon.
I changed my code by creating separate variables for each color instead of putting the variables into an array (not what I really wanted to do, but it works). My code looks like this:
if (teamColor != 0) {
this["team"+teamColor+"Color"] = new ColorTransform(0,0,0,1,currentColor.redOffset,currentColor.greenOffset,currentColor.blueOffset,)
teamColor = 0
namebox.addboxes()//function in a movieclip
}
TeamColor is now an int that is changed based on which box a user clicks from a movie clip that has a dynamically generated name, based off of what the variable value in a loop was when it was created.
(E.G: 'tempboxname[ttns].name = i;')
teamColor is then equal to that name when the user clicks it. I have another movieclip with colors in it and the above function is called to check if any teamColor change has occurred, and if it has, act accordingly. (The idea of having teamColor equal to 0 is so that if the user clicks twice, nothing changes. I other conditionals for other colors, all within the same function). That is how I fixed me code. It's not what I wanted, because it's not an array (meaning a seemingly infinite number of teamColors, and thus, teams) but it'll do for me.

This seems pretty weird even for Adobe standards. I've set up size of the movie to be 1024x768, which is the resolution of ipad screen in landscape. The stage looks ok but when I publish the swf it goes into portrait mode.
I even used this line of code but it doesn't help.
stage.setAspectRatio(StageAspectRatio.LANDSCAPE);

I have a flash stage which is in grey color. I have a blank movieclip which is in light pink in bgcolor. Can anyone tell me why when I tried to print the movieclip, my paper background will be printed grey? Is it because of my flash stage color? How do I fix this? (my original paper is white in color)

I have a problem, no I already have the code and here is what I am using (MC is the original movieclip on the stage while MC1 and MC2 are child movieclips within MC)
Code:
var ob1color = new color("_root.MC.MC1");
var ob2color = new color("_root.MC.MC2");
ob1color.setRGB(0x00FF00);
ob2color.setRGB(0x00FF00);
That code works perfectly fine it's just that if I animate MC1 and MC2 within MC it doesn't work I would have to group those 2 into a seperate movieclip called MC3 in order for the animation to work. I mean it's great I found a way around it but is there anyway to NOT have to have that MC3 in order for the animation to work? Because working with so many Movieclips can get so annoying this is my hierarchy.
Code:
[Stage] > [MC] > [MC3] > [MC1 MC2 animation]
That MC3 is an un-needed movieclip other than to work the animation. Is there any way I can fix that? I Also have to change the code to look like this
Code:
var obcolor = new color("_root.MC.MC3");
It's looking like you can't apply a color change AND animate an object.

How do you control the background color of a movie clip and the stage? i have thought about placing a mc within the mc as a backround_mc, then change the tint attribute from my main timeline, is this on the right track?
i have a movie where a user loads images into an image viewer (mc) i have craeted. If a user clicks on gallery 1, the loader appears, and load the jpg and then tells the viewer to show onceloaded. But, if a user clicks on gallery 1, then clicks on gallery 2, the movie finishes loading picture 1, before loading picture 2, is there any waqy i can force the loader to stop loading one,a dn load two immediately.

I'm using a very wide object in Flash CS3, and I didn't have a problem with the pasteboard automatically expanding to contain it in Flash 8 Pro, but apparently CS3 has limits as to how far it'll let the pasteboard expand, -2880 px to 3620 px or thereabouts. This means I have to move my object off of x:0 y:0 to work with it. This won't kill me, but it does seem to be a step down from Flash 8. Anyone have any news on why this change was made, and if there's any way to correct it?

I am new to Flash so please bare with me, I have some items that start in my movie and then go onto the pasteboard as well as Items that are on the pasteboard that I do not want to show in my movie, but when I test movie everything is showing including the items on the pasteboard... how can I just make my movie show the stage size and not the extra stuff leaving the stage and on the pasteboard?
Additionally, I have created a series of classic tweens in one layer starting on frame 30 through frame 60. How can I shrink just those frames and scale the tweens with them so they are proportionate to what I had originally?

I'm trying to work with a very long image that scrolls through a page. Piecing it together, it's roughly 12000 pixels wide. I can't view the image because the pasteboard seems to only be around 3000 pixels. Is there a way to increase pasteboard size?

I'm looking for a way to change the color of the Pasteboard in Flash CS5 on a Mac.I'm talking about the Pasteboard (the blank area around the Stage).I found a shortcut that did it for CS3, but heard you can't do it in CS4 and CS5.I'm thinking surely that's a mistake because that would be absurd.

Whenever I open a new movieclip in Flash, the stage size is distorted (should be a 600 x 450). It should be a rectangle and be placed in the middle of the screen. Instead, when I open a new movie clip, the stage is placed all the way to the left of the screen and I only have pasteboard on the right hand side. Because of this, I can't see the entire stage

trying to set the stage with a color from the classic window and properties. However when I select a stage color it remains white, and will not change. I have tried everything I know how to do like uninstalling and re-nstalling, going through the endless files and forums.

what stage colour I assign to my document, when I export the SWF it's always displays as the default white. I've tried re-installing but this doesn't fix it.
This is just one of the bugs I've encountered in Flash. I'm sick of the amount of bugs Adobe simply ignore and get away with it.

Is there a way to retrieve the color of a generic pixel on the screen using the mouse pointer inside the Stage of Flash Player? With the getPixel method of the BitmapData class you can get the color of a pixel only if the mouse is over a bitmap image, but what if I need the color a generic pixel on the screen?

I've been using flash for a whopping 3 days now, and I've stumbled onto a problem that I can't seem to find a way around. I'm using flash 4, due to the fact that #1 it's all I've got, and #2 the new flash mx 6 won't run on the old ass computer I'm using. This is my problem: I import a .bmp image and edit it in flash to make portions of it animated. The image is a symbol (I think it has to be anyway to animate it...) Everything runs fine when I use the basic play/rewind buttons to test the animiation, but when I make it into an executable, or when I go to the menu and hit "Test Movie", the image shows up as a red square. The animation I added still runs, but the actual image I imported is a red square.

We I have a preloader that plays behind my transparent movie clip and I want to change the stage to black
when I go to Full Screen. From what I have found most people use a black box but that won't scale in FS.
So does anybody have another solution for changing the background color with AS.
