Dissapearing MC
Hello all,
I'm trying to setup my portfolio section of my website and figured XML would be the best way to go for this. I have the subnav displaying properly
(website/print/etc.) along with the button-like functions. Ideally, when a user selects one of these sections, a list of all projects in that section would be displayed after duplicating another movieclip created just for this purpose.
This is where my problems seem to be. I can't seem to get the list of projects to list the proper projects and the top two subnav mc's disappear when selected. However the rest remain when clicked on. I can't figure either issue out. Maybe I've just been starring at this for too long and I'm missing the obvious. So hopefully a fresh pair of eyes can help point me into the right direction.
In my XML file, I have it broken down like this:
<code>
<PORTFOLIO>
<WEBSITE>
<CBC CLIENT="CBC" TITLE="" YEAR="2003" ROLE="Brief description here..." LINK="http://ceciestuntest.ca" IMAGE="../portfolio/website/cbc-web01.jpg"/>
<THEBEAR CLIENT="100.3FM The Bear Radio" TITLE="" YEAR="2002" ROLE="Brief description here..." LINK="http://thebearrocks.com" IMAGE="../portfolio/website/thebear-web01.gif"/>
</WEBSITE>
<PRINT>
<PRINTCLIENTNAME NAME="Client Name" TITLE="Project Title" DATE="Date" ROLE="Brief description here..." IMAGE="../portfolio/print/client-project01.gif"/>
<PRINTCLIENTNAME NAME="" TITLE="" DATE="" ROLE="" IMAGE=""/>
</PRINT>
</code>
... And so on.
My code:
<code>
// GET THE XML FILE AND FIGURE OUT ITS CONTENTS
portfolioData = new XML();
// IGNORE WHITE SPACE
portfolioData.ignoreWhite = true;
// FUNCTION WHEN XML IS DONE LOADING:
portfolioData.onLoad = function() {
mainTag = new XML();
mainTag = this.firstChild;
// trace(count = mainTag.childNodes.length);
count = mainTag.childNodes.length;
if (mainTag.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "portfolio") {
portfolioList = mainTag.childNodes;
for (child=0; child<count; child++) {
// FIRST CLIENT IN EACH CATEGORY
// trace(portfolioItem = portfolioList[child].firstChild.nodeName);
// DUPLICATE MC AND POSITION IT UNDER THE PREVIOUS
ONE
currentSubnav = projectCat.duplicateMovieClip("projectCat"+child, child);
currentSubnav.subnavName = portfolioList[child].nodeName.toLowerCase();
currentSubnav._name = portfolioList[child].nodeName.toLowerCase();
currentSubnav.childNum = child;
currentSubnav._y = child*14.5;
currentSubnav._x = 265;
// 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 () {
gotoAndStop("visited");
this.visited = true;
// trace("The "+this._name+" category
currently has "+portfolioList[this.childNum].childNodes.length+" projects listed.");
trace(count2 = portfolioList[this.childNum].childNodes.length);
// LOAD PROJECT ITEMS INTO DUPLICATED
MOVIECLIP
for (child2=0; child2<count2; child2++) {
currentProject = projectItem.duplicateMovieClip("projectItem"+child 2, child2);
currentProject.itemClient = portfolioList[child2].firstChild.nodeName.toLowerCase();
currentProject.itemTitle = portfolioList[child2].firstChild[0].nodeName;
currentProject.itemYear = portfolioList[child2].firstChild[1].nodeName;
// trace(currentProject._name = portfolioList[this.currentSubnav.childNum].nodeName.toLowerCase());
// trace(currentSubnav.childNum);
currentProject.childNum = child2;
// trace(portfolioList[this.childNum].firstChild.nodeName);
currentProject._y = child2*14.5;
currentProject._x = 372;
// SET VISITED STATE
currentProject.onLoad = function() {
this.visited = false;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Randomly Dissapearing MC's
I'm working on an Invaders style game. Each enemy is a duplicated MC. For some reason, they dissapear at random. I've checked everything that I can possibly imagine would have anything to do with this--visibility, position, removeMovieClip, etc. However, none of these is the cause of the dissapearances. Is it possible that flash is deleting them because there's not enough processing power? (I'm forced to work on my dad's PI laptop). Can anybody explain why this is happening?
Many thanks for any help that you can offer.
Dissapearing Text
Ok...
I create a single line, 20 char max input text field...
If you highlight the text and your cursor just barley strays from the box, all the text dissapears... the only way to get it back is to click in the field, and press left or right arrows (depending on if you justified the text left or right...)
This is a problem because it confuses users trying to modify their content...
How can I get rid of this issue?
Help!!
I Can't Believe I'm Having A Dissapearing MC Problem, But, Well, Here I Am.
(EDIT: fixed! All I did was change an instance name, but it all works now.)
(Using Flash 5, but it shouldn't make a difference here).
This problem has been driving me crazy for two hours. I duplicate a movie clip, and I can trace its name and position, but it dissapears before the onClipEvent(load) actions are performed. It's not registered in any arrays marked for deletion, in fact, no other MC has its instance name. It just goes never appears. I've checked to make certain that the layers don't overlap, so I know that's not the problem. What the hell else could be causing this problem?
Thanks for your help,

Dissapearing Text In Mc
I keep having a problem with static text in a scroll pane that just cuts off after a certain point. I have a text block about 2050 pixels deep and 420 pixels wide. once I export to swf or test movie the text just fails to show up after about 1500 pixels, the rest is just blank! This is the second time I have run into this, any experience with this problem/bug?? I am using a scroll componant from FlashLoaded for this.
[CS3] Text Dissapearing
Hi,
I have added text to a flash banner and when I put the banner on my website the text works on some computers but not others.
All the other imagery shows fine. I thought it might be to do with browser versions however, I have tested for this and it doesn't seem to be the case.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

AttachMovie Dissapearing....
So I have two buttons that attach different movies to the stage when the user clicks on them. I am attaching the movies to an empty movie clip because I have a third button that clears all dynamically added movies off the stage. The set up looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
videosBTN.onRelease= function() {
_root.cover.createEmptyMovieClip("spaceships", _root.cover.getNextHigherDepth());
_root.cover.spaceships.attachMovie("videos", "v", _root.cover.spaceships.getNextHigherDepth(), {_x:-170, _y:80} );
}
photosBTN.onRelease= function() {
_root.cover.createEmptyMovieClip("spaceships", _root.cover.getNextHigherDepth());
_root.cover.spaceships.attachMovie("photoGal", "p", _root.cover.spaceships.getNextHigherDepth(), {_x:-10, _y:60} );
}
clearBTN.onRelease= function() {
removeMovieClip(_root.cover.spaceships);
}
The problem I am having is this:
When I click on one of the buttons, the appropriate movie gets attached to the stage just like I want. However, if a user clicks on the next button then the empty movieclip gets dropped from the stage and all of the dynamic movies disappear - leaving an empty stage. If I click a second time on the second button, then the movieclip I wanted to attach to the stage appears. What is going on here? Does this description make sense? Help!
Dissapearing Mc After Fade In
When using this script
onClipEvent (load) {
this._alpha = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._alpha += 10;
}
my mc dissapears after a seemingly random period of time...
Heres the site im working on.
If you watch the outer border for between 1 and 4 mins (sorry im aware you're all busy!!) it mysteriously dissapears.... cant understand why..... any ideas guys?
Thanks in advance
Behaviours Dissapearing

Instances Of MCs Dissapearing
Here is the script.
Attach Code
onClipEvent (load) {
i = 10;
timer = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (timer>=27) {
timer = 0;
_root.bomba.duplicateMovieClip("bomba"+bombNum,bombNum);
eval("_root.bomba"+bombNum)._x =Math.round(Math.random()*(590));
eval("_root.bomba"+bombNum)._y = 0;
if (bombNum == 900) {
bombNum = 0;
} else {
bombNum++;
}
trace(bombNum);
}
this._y += 10;
timer++;
if (this._x<10 || this._x>590 || this._y>550) {
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
As you can see it creates a bomb at a random x position at the top of the movie. Then it has the bomb falling to the bottom at a speed of 10, then it removes it. As you can see it generates many of these at but thats where the problem is. When some of them get about half way down they just dissapear and I can't seem to find any reason why.
I really would appreciate if someone would take a look at this and see if they can find anything wrong. Thanks for all the Help!!!

Dissapearing ActionScript Window
Hi Again-
For some reason I can't find the ActionScript window. It's selected so it should be visible (I also de-selected and then re-selected but to no avail). I zoomed out to a 10% viewing area, and I still couldn't find it. This happened to me with Flash 5 before with the Scene window; it wasn't until I re-installed Flash that it was fixed.
Any ideas? I need my window back and don't want to re-install. Also, what am I doing wrong to cause this problem?

Loaded Movieclip Dissapearing?
Ok,
I've loaded a movieclip (leaves) into the bottom layer of my movie. The layer above contains a mask that is shape tweening. This all works well - you can see the leaves 'shrinking' as a reult of the mask, however, when the mask finishes tweening (hits the ned keyframe)the leaves dissapear!
At first I thought i'd done something odd with the mask, but if I place a key fame mid-tween, the leaves disapear at that point instead??
If I change the layer from a mask layer to a normal one, the leaves remain visable throughout the movie.
Just don't get it. Anyone come across this before?
Dissapearing Images And Text
I've got a relatively long block of text and images.
Part of it seems to be missing when I export an SWF. Is this normal in flash and is there no way around it?

The Case Of The Dissapearing Masks
Hi!
I am a fairly new flash designer and still am not quite up to speed on the basic 'ins' and 'outs' of how everything works! I have managed to create a problem to which i can not find the answer.
I have created a quick movie with a text effect which i think looks quite good. The effect envolves an enlarging moving image MC which is masked by an enlarging text MC over the top. In the construction window, this works without a hitch. However, as soon as i export or test the movie, the masks are somehow removed leaving the whole image MC!
This website is for my local ATC squadron, and they badly need it to work! If anyone can shed any light on where my masks are going, I would be really grateful! If however I am being really really dumb and there is something I really ought to know about, can someone clue me in???
Thanks for your help.

I followed the instructions given on the macromedia site on setting up the Flash UI componant scroll bars for a dynamic text box. when i test the scene of the text box w/scrollbar as a graphic and/or mc the scroll bar shows up. however when i through that same mc onto the stage of another mc and test that scene the scroll bars are there and functioning just not visible. I really need to get this working because this is for a paid job. I have used scrollbars before and not had this problem so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Odd Dissapearing Text In An MC - Newbie
Hi,
Flash MX 2004 – I have this list of 174 titles (one on each line) that was first typed in WORD then copied and pasted as a text in Flash. This text box (on top layer) is then placed over 174 buttons (bottom layer). These items make a movie clip (called names) with an identifier (text box) in its properties. I have then created this box which displays the content of my names clip.
When previewed, it works but only from title 1 through 102 ?! My buttons appear but the rest of the text is missing. Can someone help me with this ODD problem? I even copied my buttons and my text and placed them in a new FLA file and when previewed… It gives me the same problem !
Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's a flash banner in www.angelicaappraisals.com and I just found out that the top banner( the one with images, and the logo being written out) doesn't show up on someone's computer.
However the flash intro, and menu bars all do show up, and work fine.I'm baffled and really
have no idea why. The site is made in html, with some flash plugged into it.
If you have any suggestions It would be so so helpful
So very much appriciated,

LoadMovie Clips Are Dissapearing Why?
wtf! I am making a webpage but it's heavy so i'm loading the graphix in as separate .swfs. The problem is that when they load they dissapear! When I click the refresh button on my browser they reappear and are fine. why is this? Why are they dissapearing in the first place. here is what I have in the main movie all on the second frame
Code:
clip_5.loadMovie("clip5.swf");
clip_1.loadMovie("clip1.swf");
clip_2.loadMovie("clip2.swf");
clip_3.loadMovie("clip3.swf");
clip_4.loadMovie("clip4.swf");
clip_6.loadMovie("clip6.swf");
stop();
and in each swf that loads i have a preloader that says on the 2nd frame:
Code:
iBytesTotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
iBytesLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
iBytes = (iBytesLoaded/iBytesTotal)*100;
and then on the third frame it says:
Code:
if (iBytes<100) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
trace("this 3 loaded");
gotoAndStop(4);
}
the graphics are on frame 4. this way they won't play until fully loaded.
So! on my desktop the clips load fine and work perfectly but when it's up on the server they just load and then dissapear. When i click refresh everything shows up. What am i doing wrong? I've tried a zillion different things with always the same result.
Big thanks to anyone who tells me where I'm screwing up. Below is a link to the page. see they dissappear!

Have included a screen shot of the problem as well as the code....hope you can help.
The code is as follows:-

return Math.floor(Number*Math.pow(10,2))/Math.pow(10,2);
}
var _l: Object = new Object();
_l.change = function (evt: Object):Void {
// see what the user has selected
var lbl:String = evt.target.selectedItem.label;
var dt:Number = parseInt(evt.target.selectedItem.data);
var num:Number = Number(myNumber.text);
if (dt==1) {
myOutcome1.text = floor(num*1); // week
calculateTotal();

Background Layer Not Dissapearing
I am trying to use one of the layers on my stage which is just a black rectangle for a background in another swf file so that when you press on the button which brings you to my other swf file the rectangle acts as a background. I gave the layer which has the rectangle in it an frame label name. Im not sure what the code is, I want the rectangle to be invisible on my stage and have it appear when you press the button to go to my file which is called one.swf. I thought i could make the background image to = false and then on an onpress make it = true so when you open one.swf it will pop up. Right now its just taking over my whole stage....well im sure theres other ways but hopefully someone can help, i am not in a rush or anything so thanks a lot for any help. i also have a few more problems so if theres any way i could upload my file for someone to take a look let me know too... ok thanks...

Dissapearing Swirl Effect
Can anyone help me with an effect I'm trying to make?
I'd like to make an image look like it's disappearing by someone is drinking it down with a straw. The best way to describe this would be if you were looking at a the inside of coffee mug from the top down, and the contents would ripple, and disappear in a swirl effect. I don't want to show the straw, just the effect the liquid would have if someone was drinking out of one. I don't have an example anywhere, but I hope you may get what I mean.
I sort of have the ripple effect done using an oval shape tween mask, but would welcome any better (more realistic) suggestions.
I should mention that I do not know actionscript at all, so if that's the solution please lay it out like you were teaching a 5th grader. Thank you in advance.

}
loaded = _root.clip.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.clip.getBytesTotal();
num = int(perc) + "%";
perc = (loaded/total)*100;
bar._width = perc;
if(loaded == total && dummy == 1){
_root.text._alpha = 0;

clip.loadMovie("drive.swf");
clip._alpha = 0;
now = 0;
text.dummy = 1;
//now load the external file into the myData object
myData.load("drive.txt");
stop();
Now it works great but when you go throught the frames and let it sit for about 30 seconds with out hitting a next or previouse to load the next swf it dissapears and then after about 30 sec it reapears and keeps doing it.
Can some one please help?

XML Loaded Image Dissapearing After Movie Repeats
I'm using the below code to load an image via xml into an existing movie clip "pic1" within another movie clip "pics". It works fine except that when the movie loops back to the beginning, the image loaded into "pic1" is no longer there. Any ideas?
function ParsePics(picsInput:XML):void {
var picsList:XMLList = picsInput.pic.image;
//for (var i:int = 0; i < picsList.length(); i++) {

Input Textfield (w/dissapearing Pre-filled Text)?
Can this be done easily?
Basically I want an input textfield that is pre-filled with some text. I want this pre-filled text to dissapear when the input textfield recieves focus (and if possible re-appear if the text field losses focus without having any text entered in to it).
Right now I'm thinking of having the pre-filled text inside a MC that sits on top of the input textfield and dissapears on mouse over, and re-appears on mouse out after checking if there is any text in the textfield. I was just wondering if there was a cleaner way of doing this?
Wierd Font Issue, Text Dissapearing After Embedding
Hey everyone -
I'm having a very frustrating problem. I have a text field that I am loading text into dynamically. I am loading it with html tags and have that selected on the textfield.
I've applied some css to the textfield to highlight <a> tags. It shows up when i publish the movie when the fonts aren't embedded, but as soon as i embed the font, all of the things in the <a> tags disappear.
If I take out the css styles, everything shows up fine. I don't get it...
Can anyone help???????
Thanks
How Can I Rotate A Dynamic Text File Without The Text Dissapearing?
Using XML, a text file and Flash actionscript I was able to upload text into a Flash file externally. Here's how I did it:
In the Actions keyframe:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
paragraph1.text = this.paragraph1;
};
Then in data.txt:
paragraph1=Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
The problem began when I wanted to tilt my paragraph of text a few degrees to the left. I can do this to a regular Static Text box and the text doesn't dissapear. However, when I went to Transform/Rotate/-0.6 degrees, the external text immediately dissapeared. Why does this happen and how can I solve this?
Store And Retrieve Array Of Custom Class Objects From Shared Objects.
Hi,
I am stuck up with a problem in ActionScript 2. I am using Flash MX 2004 on windows XP.
I have created 3 custom classes say Parent, Child, and GrandChild. Parent class contains in it an array of its Child objects. Similarly each Child object contains in it an array of GrandChild objects. Also I do have one global array of all the Parent objects.
I want to store this array to the shared objects on specific events(say exiting the session) and then reload them from the shared object(on next session startup). I am able to store the global array to the shared object but when I try to retrieve the same array from shared object, I could not do it. The retrieved array is not of my custom class type [Parent].
Help needed to solve this problem urgently. Does anybody have idea how to do it??
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Objects Talking To Objects, Parent/child Communication, Scope
I've been using AS3 at an intermediate level, and am getting deeper
into classes. I'm loving classes! I'm just cloudy on a few general
concepts.
It's easy for me to create a child object from a parent object, like a
ship in space for example (not working with ships right now but seems
fun to talk about). I can then navigate the ship from the parent
object.
What happens if the ship's engine temperature reaches critical? Is it
wise to dispatch a ship event that tells space that my ship is nearly
scrap? Or do I periodically query the temperature amount of the ship
from space? To me an event sounds like the solution, but I remember
hearing somewhere that parent objects should only talk to child
objects, not the other way around. Is this true?
Could I trouble someone for a basic example of how you would make this
communication work best?
Thanks for the assist. I'll post if I find anything interesting in
the meantime.
