Flash :: Disappearing Buttons.

Buttons Disappearing...
Hello everyone, I have a strange problem here... I have a simple menu with a button, when I run the swf or the web page on my computer, everything works just fine, I see the button. But after uploading it on a web server to test it, I noticed that the button doesn't appear, I just get the menu background... I'm a little confused here, what could make the movie run on my computer and not on the net?? I'm on a network right now, I've tried with 3 differents computer and got the same thing on each one!??

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. tried with computers running Windows XP/NT4 and explorer 5/6

Disappearing MC Buttons
Hi,

I have some individual swf files that contain movie clip buttons. When you first visit the website, they appear just fine, but when you browse to another page by clicking on one and then return to the page, the buttons/swfs do not appear until you mouse over them. Here is the URL for you to see what I mean...

Disappearing Buttons
This is a first (for me). I've been working with Flash off and on since Flash 5. I have put up like 6 websites and never have had this happen before. My Home Page appears just as it should but then when I click on any of the buttons for the other pages the buttons disappear. I called my ISP (Yahoo). They claimed that on their computer it was all working just fine. But on my Mac and my roommate's PC when I click on any of the buttons to go to other pages the page does not change and the menu disappears. Obviously this is not a good thing. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. (This website is at www.christianbenjaminseaborn.com)

I have been working with Flash off and on since Flash 5. I have put up like half a dozen sites and have never had this happen before. When my site (www.christianbenjaminseaborn.com) first comes up it all looks like it should but then when I click on any of the menu buttons the page does not change and the menu disappears. I called my ISP (Yahoo). They said they checked it out on their computer and it all worked fine. But on both my Mac and my roommate's PC it is doing this disappearing button routine. Obviously this is not good. Any thoughts/help is appreciated.

Disappearing Buttons?
Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum, more of a voyeur usually, however i can't find the solution to my problem, which i think is fairly simple.

I'm trying to navigate from one frame to the next, with an external SWF loading inbetween, i've achieved this, however when i navigate back to the initial frame the button seems to have disappeared and i get this message:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at movietest_fla::MainTimeline/movietest_fla::frame2()

The code i'm using is below:

stop();

var TestRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test1.swf");
var TestLoader:Loader = new Loader();

intro_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, newvid);

function newvid(event:MouseEvent):void {
TestLoader.load(TestRequest);
addChild(TestLoader);

}

TestLoader.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED, goToParent);

function goToParent(event:Event):void {
gotoAndStop(3);
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

My Buttons Keep Disappearing?
hey everyone...i am working ona new project and have hit a snag. i am using as on frame 1 to control the rollOver and rollOut of 4 buttons inside 1 movie clip. they should fade alpha from 100 to 0% on rollover and back to 100% on rollout. however after the action has finished they disappear suddenly...down to alpha 0%...i am stumped...please can anyone help me

http://saru110.co.uk/testing/flashsite.html

Code:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

var btnBar = _root.button_bar_mc;
var logoBar = _root.logo_bar_mc;
//btnBar drag
_root.btnBar.drag_btn.onPress = function(){
_root.btnBar.startDrag(false,25,162,25,506);
}
_root.btnBar.drag_btn.onRelease = function(){

Draggablescrollpane And Disappearing Buttons
I'm having a major hair-tearing out fit over such a seemingly small problem....

I can seem to make buttons placed in mc's that are the contents of a draggablescrollpane display properly

Try the following:

new movie, create a button (with text or no text, it doesn't seem to matter).

Place this button inside a new Movie clip. Give this movie clip linkage properties.

Place an instance of the draggablepane component onto the stage, set its scrollcontents to be the linkage id of the movie clip you created.

View the movie: the scrollpane appears and displays the movieclip contents, apart form the button, which whilst it physcially is there (you can click on it), is made invisible.

This is a critical problem for me, can anyone suggest a fix/workaround?

Many thanks.

Flash 8 - Disappearing Buttons?
I am currently developing a project in Flash 8... I have an animation I created in 3d Studio Max 7.0 which I rendered out in a sequence of PNGs, then imported into Flash 8 as a sequence. I did this to retain the alpha channel - my animation needs to have a transparent BG so that the custom BG in the project shows.

I had no problem with the animation itself - I imported it into Flash as a sequence, then published it, and imported it into my project as a SWF. It is currently a MOVIE CLIP named ANIME.

I made two buttons - PAUSE and PLAY, and first I tested them in the anime SWF to see if they would pause and play. They did so perfectly.

I imported the SWF with the buttons into my project, and when I tested the project the buttons would not work. There wasn't no recognition of them whatsoever - there was no reaction when I rolled my cursor over them.

I created a PAUSE and a PLAY button in a shared library.... I imported these buttons into my project. I put these on a top layer, with the anime on a lower level in the project, and an ACTIONS layer overall.

The ACTIONS layer holds the "anime.stop();" script for the anime.

The BUTTONS layer holds "on (release) {
anime.stop();
}
for the PAUSE button, and "on (release) {
anime.play();
}
for the PLAY button. The scripts are on the buttons, respectively.

When I test the movie, the buttons do not appear at all! The ACTION to stop the anime works, so its not playing at all, but the buttons do not appear.

This does not happen when I use an AVI instead of a SWF for the animation..... however I need a transparent BG behind the animation, so I cannot render either an AVI or a MOV without incorporating a BG into the animation.

Does ANYONE know how to fix the problem of the disappearing buttons PAUSE and PLAY?

Disappearing Buttons And Images
This one has me stumped, I've got two arrows (right and left) in a movie clip on the scene. They are hidden when the page first opens, and I have them appearing when clicking on the menu. After appearing, they stay a few seconds and then disappear. I've got a stop command in the movie clip.
For my images, those are in another file and dropped into a blank movie clip to load. When you rollover the submenu they appear but after a few seconds they dissappear like the arrows. I have stop commands in that seperate file under each scene and a stop command in the blank movie clip.
Help!!!
Thanks!

Problems With Buttons Disappearing
I'm having a problem with my button arrows disappearing after a couple a seconds. My rollover images do this too, when rolling over the submenu the images appear for a few seconds and then disappear. I have stop commands in in the actions layer for the blank loading movie clip and over the images in their seperate file. Anyone have any suggestions? Could somehow this be on it's own timeline? This site won't let me attach my fla file since it's too big.
Please help!!!

Buttons Not Disappearing Correctly On Rollout
If I rollout of my button area too quickly, the button doesn't disappear properly - here's an example: http://wines-france.us/training/

If you rollover the navbar (INTORDUCTION, 10 KEY POINTS, etc) - and do so quickly enough, two menus acan appear at the same time... Any thoughts why that is?

I followed this tutorial to construct the buttons:

Disappearing Buttons When Mouse Stops Moving
I have multiple buttons in a flash movie, and there is a bug that makes the buttons not buttons (the hand icon becomes the plain old arrow and the links don't work in IE6) when the mouse is NOT moving. If the mouse is moving, the buttons work fine. When I test the movie in flash, it works fine. When I test it in IE the bug is there. When I load it into Adsys (our ad server) it works fine, but on the website, (viewed with IE6) the bug is back.

Anyone know what is causing this, cuz I am stumped.

Disappearing 'O's
This is very strange to me. I'm working on a site that's using dynamic text boxes as scrollable text areas. No biggie, right? I've hard coded the text into the dynamic text box variables, and everything seems to be working fine, except for one thing. Capital 'O's aren't showing up.

You can see what I mean if you go to http://www.velvetrope.ca/nefertiti and, under the main menu (bottom left) select 'articles', then select one of the drop down options (say, "Nutritional Blood Cell Microscopy"). In that case, the first line of text seems to be reading "Nutritinal Live Cell Mcroscpy."

The Os are there in the code. Wha'fu?

Yours in an O-less paradise,

Disappearing Ads...How Do They Do That?
Ever seen those Ad's on MSN and Yahoo that have transparent backgrounds and open up on top of other text and images, play the movie then disappear? Anyone know how that is done?

Disappearing Act
Okay I created a flash movie / gallery @ 600x400 px in flash 5, imported it into a dreamweaver 4, html page that has rollovers in it, and every time i rollover the non flash graphics my movie disappears WHY! OH GOD WHY?

Swf's Disappearing?
hi there. had a question regarding a site i recently put up...www.ironcreative.com. i built it in sections using loadMovie to load separate swfs. after moving throught the site and loading many different sections some swf movies don't show up and then it seems that every other one does. and this is mainly a problem with explorer 5.2 on a Mac running OS X. everything is fine on a pc. it seems like it could be a memory issue. anyone have any suggestions?

Disappearing SWF In IE7
The site I'm working on http://myeasterseals.org/index.php has a SWF video player in all of the main-level menu pages. When going to the home page in IE7 the player is visible, but if it's refreshed or you navigate to a different page, the SWF is gone and is replaced by blank white. It works fine in FireFox and Safari.

MC Disappearing
have a simple MC that moves and fades in using the script below but for some reason the movie clip will disappear and replay even though I have a stop function attached.

It will disappear after about a minute or two. I have the movie loop set to false but cant figure out why its "replaying". Any help is appreciated.

Here is the actionscript i have attached to the mc.

Quote:

onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 563.0;
_y = 140.0;
speed = 4;
_alpha = 0;
fadespeed = 3;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_alpha += fadespeed;
endX = 172.0;
endY = 140.0;
_x += (endX-_x)/speed;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
stop();
}

Mc Not Disappearing
I have a mc, it is the HUD (heads up display) for a game of mine. It appears when I want to, but it wont disappear!! I have tried a lot, but nothing seems to be working. It just, stays there. It's supposed to disappear when the user hits something, where the user may either restart or send score. It stays there cheerfully, it even stays when the user clicks restart and goes back to the menu....in a different scene!

...help

oh and I have been trying

PHP Code:

onClipEvent(load) { // for the frame i want it to disappear in
    removeMovieClip(this);
}

/******************************/

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
    removeMovieClip(this);
}

I have also tried simply not to include the frames at all, which still doesn't work. Even if there are no frames there it is STILL THERE!

And.. the only code that is being implemented for the mc when I want it to appear is:

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
    this.swapDepths(7);
}

Problems With Disappearing SWF In MC
I hope I can make clear what my problem is. I’m making an almost totally Flash site for an Author with several smaller swf’s being loaded into empty MC’s on the main timeline. I think I’m having a cache problem because when I make changes to either the main movie, or the individual swf’s, sometimes the new version doesn’t show up in the finished page. I also find that several times the individual swf’s are missing altogether! I have tried clearing out the browser cache between views, and that helps, but I don’t want visitors seeing the wrong things.
I have added to the loadMovie command a random number so it looks like:

loadMovie(“external.swf?” + randomnum, “movieClipHolder”)

I hoped this would cause the swf not to be cached, but it still isn’t working all the time.
I’m still making quite a few changes to all the movies while we work out the final design, so how do I make sure that all the movies are seen and are the correct version? One last thing – for some reason, viewing it in Netscape never completes the loading past the first few frames.

Thanks

Disappearing Movie...
The oddest thing.

A little background: I am creating a movie that I can reuse many, many time for my fonts page. I created a simple movie to be a "pass thru" to load the main movie. I am passing the filename to an XML file, so I created the PassThru movie to be put in the cache many many times while the main movie is loaded once.

Anyhow, when I view the whole think inside of Flash, it works fine. But when I publish to an HTML page, I see my main move flash onto the screen then disappears. I have no frames on the main movie that are blank. It is almost as though the PassThru movie is deleting it. The PassThru has one frame and one action (loadMovie). The main movie receives the XML filename by reading the _parent.XMLFilename property.

Any thoughts?

Disappearing Movie
I have developed a Flash document, but now when I open it I can only view the timeline, and the work area is all white, none of my images show up. When I >control >test movie, it plays the movie. Does anyone possibly know how I accidentally hid the presentation? Do you know how to show the work area now? Thanks for your help.

How To Keep My Background From Disappearing?
I have a background that should always be present, all the animation is run over the top of it (the background is an imported bitmap). Now as soon as I add the animation and the movie runs past frame 1, the background dissapears. How do I keep the background from dissapearing without turning it into a graphic symbol and giving it its own timeline???

Menu Not Disappearing
hello folks,

I'm using FLASH MX, and I would like to know, if I'm inserting a menu bar, how do I keep this menu bar from being erased or dissappeared everytime I play the movie. i would like the menu to be stabled. I would appreciate your help on this. Thanks and God Bless.

P.S. already know how to add motion with flash mx, yupi!!!!, don't laugh, i'm a beginner.

Appearing And Disappearing Help
Yes I would like to know the steps in making things appear and disappear slowly I know you use Alpha to do taht but not exactly sure how to do it. If you could be specific as in keyframe/frame.. That would be greatly appreciated thks

Disappearing Variables
I've posted this somewhere, but i can't find the post... So i'll post again... D'OH!

I've got a movie clip set up to grab variables from a text file.

There are 4 dynamic text fields in my movie, and they each have their own variable, which is defined in the text file, of course... Now, the problem?

When flash reads the text file, it passes the variables directly to the dynamic text fields, then kind of forgets about them. One of my variables is "difference". I've got an if statement set up in the first frame of my movie that says if difference is less than zero, go to frame 2 (which has red dynamic text), otherwise stay at frame 1 (which has green text).

This all to simulate if a number's below 0 make it red, if it's over, make it green.

But the if statement doesn't work. It can't find a value for "difference". I can define difference right before my if statement and it works fine, but i can't use the value from the text file.

Anyone have any ideas or methods for defining a variable within flash based on a text file? Or perhaps like

colorDiff = getValue("my dynamic text field");

or

colorDiff = loadVariables("textfile.txt", variablename);

Something to that effect.

Any help will, well... help. Thanks!

MX Arrays Disappearing
I've got a pair of arrays that are emptying inbetween button clicks and I'm not sure why (just started MX progging although I've been using other langs for quite some time).

At the top of my first frame, I set everything up with:

//Game Initialization
_global.gamestatus = 0;
_global.numbertospawn = 3;
_global.rows = 8;
_global.columns = 9;
_global.startx = 90;
_global.starty = 60;
_global.BoardArray = new Array();
_global.AvailableList = new Array();
_global.AtomsArray = new Array();
_global.max_x = rows * 28;
_global.max_y = rows * 28;
....
Below I have all my functions.

Then I have a button on another layer with:

1)on (release)
2) {
3)if(gamestatus==0)
4){
5)initboard();
6)GetAvailableList();
7)}
8)else
9){
10)spawnnew();
11)}
12) }

Now then, the first click of this button starts up initboard and GetAvailablelist which fill BoardArray and AvailableList just fine and everything is peachy. Now, once I click the button a second time (for spawnnew which adds random pieces) BoardArray and AvailableList are completely empty. The first click, they are still filled after line 6 (used debugger) however the second click they are already empy before line 3 (used debugged). No other functions run between the 2 clicks so I'm at a loss as to what is going on.

Thanks

Disappearing Movieclips
My site plays normally but after about 4 or 5 minutes certain movieclips disappear, is there a command I'm forgetting to include??

Disappearing Text
Hi all, in a bind here.

I'm editing a file containing text which must be HelveticaNeue Medium Condensed. Upon loading the file Flash asks me to substitute the font, even though I do have the font on my machine. Unlike any other font, (HelveticaNeue Medium Condensed) is displayed with parenthesis when I select it within Flash's drop down box in the properties panel.

Main problem is when I build the swf the text does not appear, the box is completely blank.

Any ideas? When I select "View/Antialias Text" the text does appear smoothed which is supposed to indicate the font is properly embedded.

Thanks so much!

Disappearing Movie
I'm having trouble with a movie clip disappearing after scrolling down the page. The only flash on the page is the buttons on the left-hand side. So far, the only person that has noticed this is viewing the page using IE on a mac.

http://www.redjetacid.com/performink/performink.html

I'm also having a little trouble using some pixel fonts. Even if everything is lined up so that x and y are whole numbers, I'm still having trouble making the text crisp. Any other ideas what the problem might be? Maybe there's just too much movement.

Disappearing Text.
When I rotate text 90o and convert it to a symbol and add actionscript it disappears from the movie when I test it. Rotate it back so it is in the normal position and it appears again. Why is it doing this and is there a way to make it appear when rotated?
Thanks

Disappearing MovieClips
Hey All,

My portfolio is divided up into sections, Websites, Print work, Illustrations, etc... and in each of those sections are selections of my work. Duplicated movieclips are created depending on how many sections there are.

Currently, there are 8 sections.

Now once I click on one of those sections, another mc is duplicated for each of the actual pieces of work. This works perfectly. However, the section mc's disappear after I click on them. How and why could this be? Any ideas?

Here's part of my code with both duplicateMovieClip's

PHP Code:

if (mainTag.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "portfolio") { portfolioList = mainTag.childNodes; for (child=0; child<count; child++) { currentSubnav = projectCat.duplicateMovieClip("projectCat"+child, child); currentSubnav.subnavName = portfolioList[child].nodeName.toLowerCase();
currentSubnav._name = portfolioList[child].nodeName.toLowerCase();
currentSubnav.childNum = child;
currentSubnav._y = 36+(child*14);
currentSubnav._x = 268;
// SET VISITED STATE
currentSubnav.onLoad = function() {
this.visited = false;
};
// SET BUTTON FUNCTIONS
currentSubnav.onRollOver = currentSubnav.onDragOver=function () { this.gotoAndPlay("over"); }; currentSubnav.onRollOut = currentSubnav.onDragOut=function () { this.gotoAndPlay("out"); if (this.visited == true) { this.gotoAndPlay("visited"); } }; currentSubnav.onPress = currentSubnav.onDragOver=function () { this.gotoAndStop("visited"); this.visited = true; // trace(this._name+" category has "+portfolioList[this.childNum].childNodes.length+" projects"); count2 = portfolioList[this.childNum].childNodes.length;
childNum = this.childNum;
// LOAD PROJECT ITEMS INTO DUPLICATED MOVIECLIP
for (child2=0; child2<count2; child2++) {
currentProject = projectItem.duplicateMovieClip("projectItem"+child2,
child2);
// trace("0"+child2+" "+mainTag.childNodes[childNum].childNodes[child2].attributes.client);
currentProject.itemNum = mainTag.childNodes[childNum].childNodes[child2].attributes.num;
currentProject.itemClient = mainTag.childNodes[childNum].childNodes[child2].attributes.client;
currentProject.itemTitle = mainTag.childNodes[childNum].childNodes[child2].attributes.title;
currentProject.itemYear = mainTag.childNodes[childNum].childNodes[child2].attributes.year;
currentProject.itemRole = mainTag.childNodes[childNum].childNodes[child2].attributes.role;
currentProject.itemLink = mainTag.childNodes[childNum].childNodes[child2].attributes.link;
currentProject.itemImage = mainTag.childNodes[childNum].childNodes[child2].attributes.image;
// trace(currentSubnav.childNum);
currentProject.childNum = child2;
// trace(portfolioList[this.childNum].firstChild.nodeName);
currentProject._y = 36+(child2*14);
currentProject._x = 372;
// SET VISITED STATE
currentProject.onLoad = function() {
this.visited = false;
};

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!

I need urgent help!

http://www.1800.com/ocean/gallery.php

Here is the gallery i'm working on. You can click on a gallery and it'll show you the pictures. I have had problems with Flash centering and resizing the photo so now I'm using PHP to send me those coorinates.

But now, try clicking on the same picture VERY fast repeatedly (like double click). it disappears after 7-8 clicks... I've made a textbox on top that shows the height the picture is supposed to be and the reported height.

Please take a look and tell me ANY clues u might have!

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Disappearing Variables?
Okay, I take an XML feed in which gives me six variables

player1id
player2id
player3id
player4id
player5id
player6id

I assign these a value in the flash and put them in a container and use the loadVars() object to send them out.

by debugging the flash, I can tell that they are set properly. By using a URL interceptor, I can see that the variables contain the correct values when leaving the flash movie.

When I check my logs though, the values are set as 0;

player1id=0&player2id=0

etc etc

anyone come across this before?

Disappearing Text?
I was making a rolling credit scene using motion tween. The text were like 45 points. Since it was a very long list it had to go out of the far off boundary where you can't see it when editing. I previewed the scene and like around in the middle the text just disappears below. What the heck is that about?

Disappearing Punctuation Please Help
I have created dynamic text fields and when I am working in flash everything looks great, but when I view the file all of the 's and " " are missing. Any help would be great. I even tried making it html text. The font is Arial.

Thanks

One more thing I am using Flash MX and I did embed the font!

Disappearing Component
I have created a new component (extended MenuBar) in MX 2004. In the development environment, the component displays asa colored rectangle whether selected or not. When I export the swc to my components directory and drag it into a new fla, it shows as a rectangular outline when selected and completely disappears when not selected. Other than this problem, everything about the component works in both environments. I thought I might have missed an export somewhere but I can't find it. Any ideas?

Font Disappearing
I am using a font called Poetica and itis visible in the Flash file but does not show up at all when I publish the Flash file. I had a similar issue with another font whereny only little bits and pieces of the font were visible when published.
Is there a way to embed the fonts when published?
Thanks!

Disappearing Jpg With MovieClipLoader
Hi All,

There was a previous thread sent out by 'bgetting' regarding a disappearing jpg after using MovieClipLoader.loadClip (FlashMX 2004, ActionScript 2.0) to load the external jpg. Did that ever get resolved? I am seeing a similar problem when loading some external buttons. The button states are jpg images and the buttons disappear altogether. I am loading several rows of these buttons and only one row disappears and it's always the same row.

Also, the over and down states are not functioning for that row. The onRelease action works fine. When the button is clicked an enlarged version of the image is loaded to the stage. These buttons are implemented using movieclips.

Any help would greaaaaaaaatly be appreciated! I'm really scratching my head with this problem.

Thanks!
