FLASH: Re: Flash : mc ghosts

[alexb]

Hi Sohrab,

That sounds like a problem I had before too. I believe it occurs when you

use the alignment (CTRL+K) tools on a MC with a blank first frame. What you

need to do is delete the MC, drag a new instance of it back onto the stage

from the library, and align it by typing the X and Y  coordinates into the

object inspector. I have also come across this problem when dealing with

lines that are less than 2 pixels thick.

HTH,

alex

Here's something weird!


I have several mc. The first and last frames are empty and the middle

frames

have an animation. I did the animaiton in the edit mode.

When i go back to the main movie and i select the "edit in place" mode

there

is nothing on the stage. the timeline shows that something is there but you

see nothing.


When i tell target the mc nothing happens.

When i test the movie the mc doesn't show up, nor when i export it.

Its as if they dotn exist.


So when i go into the edit in place mode and try and draw something, i

cant.


Basically, all the movie clips dont exist and cannot be seen unless in the

edit mode, which is very useless to me.


And i have tried this on two different computers.


any ideas on why teh hell this is going on?
