Cannot view images on the stage in AS3

Hi guys, I've had Flash CS4 for a while but never been able to use Actionscript 3 as any images dragged to the stage just disappear -- but of course are there when you preview the movie.  I've reset the program, tried changing all around the views and resetting preferences -- and it works fine with new AS2 documents, but this problem has got me annoyed!  I can't see anyone else with this problem while surfing the web, but thought it was time to get proactive and ask for your help and ideas!
  Cheers guys, any help is much appreciated.

Hi guys,
First off - thanks so much for taking the time to read this and answer to help me out. It's much appreciated, and better than anything that Adobe have offered (except to host these forums I suppose).  I don't want to set myself up for a big fall and say that it can't be something simple as I could well be missing something, but it's definitely not a case of just adding a new layer and importing to the stage again.  I've used Flash since way back in version 5, and like I said it works fine for Actionscript 2 documents, just seems a weird issue with (my) Actionscript 3.
I've looked at other suggestions, but as you can see from these screenshots all the layers are visible and not locked.  Alpha is 100%, and it doesn't just affect new library objects but al drawing objects on the stage -- they can be drawn, but then quickly disappear.  They are still there, and the cursor will change when hovered over the spot where they should be.  The paths can also be seen when highlighted by the subselection tool. I've tried using the bring to front etc and anything else I can see.  Also, I reinstalled the Flash Pro kit, so it must be something with my default setup.
Image 1 - just about to drag a Facebook gif icon to the stage.
Image 2 (it's different, honest!) - The layer has been filled, but the library item can't be seen.  Also makes no difference if the Flash file is saved first or not.  The cursor changes to the "move" type graphic when hovered over the invisible graphic too.
Any of you guys have a fix I'll buy you a drink next time you're near Durham (UK)!

  • Cannot view images in emails on Safari or Firefox

    I cannot view images in emails on multiple accounts from different sites (Gmail, AOL Mail, Hotmail) on Safari and Firefox on my Macbook. When I click "Show Content" on the emails to unblock the spam protection, either all of the images don't show up and instead I get the "?" boxes or only some of the images show up. Can anyone help me out? I have an important email I need to print out but need to see all the images before doing so (plus, it's just plain annoying). Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Since a while I can no longer view images in html emails even though it was set to do so in the prefs. I am considering ditching the plist file but am concerned that I will lose more valuable info (like account passwords and such). What does the pref file (plist) hold?

  • Help! Please!  I cannot view images on any website or button as in submit, delete, previous, next...

    I cannot view images on any website, or buttons only text.  I can view youtube videos but none of the video thumbnails on the sidebar.  I have never had this problem and have searched the forums for an answer. 

    Hi F. Carl
    The clip is intact and it has video and audio.
    I have worked on it before and all was fine until I lost the work when it got frozen!
    The issue is:
    I have a (MOV.) ready clip that I wanted to edit a bit, hence I have imported the clip (import media) and whenever I try to work on it, the black screen prohibits me from doing anything.
    Any ideas please ... It's really strange !

  • I cannot view images imported from nikon d4

    i cannot view images imported from nikon d4.
    I have just upgraded to the most current version of aperture and when I import images from my qxd card it looks like it is importing but no images show up.

    So the images show up in the Import pane of Aperture but after you press the Import button they do not show in the project you are importing into?
    Does this happen for both Raw and JPG images?

    It's beta open source software so I'm not surprised. It does't look to be too active a project, so I don't know if it will help or not but you might be maybe better off posting a bug report on their Sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/

  • I cannot view anything on the internet

    Please help I have almost pulled what little hair I have left out.
    The desktop is XP and has just been reconfigured. It is connected to the internet via the wireless adapter with good signal. i just cannot view anything and the **bleep** things tells me I am not connected even though I am.
    The only other thing it says in the bottom address bar is that it is detecting proxy settings.
    Thanks to anyone that can help

    You don't normally need any proxy settings when connecting via a Home Hub.  Check that you don't have any proxy set up in your web browser(s).
    In recent versions of Internet Explorer, that will be Tools->Internet options, Select the Connections tab, Hit the LAN Settings button, and "Automatically detect settings" should be ticked.

  • Help! I cannot view images in Lightroom 4.1

    Hello all,
    I hope someone can help  I need the answer asap so it would be very much appreciated. I am trying to use Lightroom and whilst it imports images successfully, I cannot view them at all. I do not have the '?' so this isn't a problem but I don't know what else it can be. I am using 4.1 but currently downloading 4.2 (very painful, almost impossible in Indonesia), but I would imagine this shouldn't be an issue either.
    Any ideas? I am stuck!
    Many thanks,
    J

    If that's also the same if you go into the Develop module, then it's probably a corrupt monitor profile. Try setting the profile to sRGB as a test (not a cure, the cure is to fix the monitor profile).....see these instructions:

  • Cannot view images using Preview

    Happy New Year to all,
    I cannot view .jpg files in Preview. I have .jpg files in various folders. If I:
    a) Double click the .jpg file in Finder the Preview icon arrives in dock but no image is displayed.
    or
    b) Right click the .jpg file in Finder and select open with Preview the same as above happens.
    If I then right click the Preview icon in dock I can see the image file name with a 'tick' mark next to it but no image is displayed.
    The Preview help section in Apple is no help whatsoever. Any ideas ?
    I am fairly new to the Mac so do not know if I have had this problem from day one, never tried before.
    Thanks

  • Unable to view images in the crystal reports on a jsp

    Hi folks,
    I am unable to view any image (not even the ones like businessobjects logo) in the crystal reports fetched from the CMS. I am able to fetch the report properly. But I don;t get to see the images in the reports.
    If anyone of you know how to fix it. Kindly post it. It's urgent.
    PS: It would be great if you could kind of share a check list of things that need to be taken care of while viewing a crystal report with images.

    Hi Suresh,
    Please check that you have crystalreportviewers11 (for version XI) or crystalreportviewers115 ( for version XI R2) folder in your BO installation and your web.xml has correct reference to it. You can copy this folder over in your web application and
    Add an entry in web.xml as follows ( if it doesn't exist)
    <context-param>
      <param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
      <param-value>/<your application name>/crystalreportviewers115</param-value>
    </context-param>
    crystalreportviewers11\115 have images folder which contain all the images for Logo and toolbar. Check the images folder in viewers and make sure that they exist.

  • Cannot view photos in the stream on iPhone 6 but can with my other 4 iOS devices

    I just purchased an iPhone 6 and the setup  smooth but one thing..photo stream.  I can take pictures and they go in the stream and I can view from my other iOS devices but I cannot view photos taken with other devices on the iPhone 6. All use the same iCloud ID.

    Hi JinnaWinkas,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try these steps first if the Photo Stream on one of your PCs is not updating:
    you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos will not be able to send or receive updates to My Photo Stream. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Make sure that iCloud Photos or Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel. Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
    Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

  • Cannot view images in emails

    8830 phone from Alltel. When I read an email message that contains an image, all I see is the text of the link to the image and not the image itself. Is there a setting I can change that will let me view images in emails?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    This depends on two factors. One your device OS need to be 4.5 of higher and second your carrier need to have BIS 2.5 (which can be considered done by now). If you don't have OS 4.5 of higher then consider upgrading your device OS version.

  • I have a canon 60D and I'm trying to view images on the Ipad using the sd reader but no luck. Any help or ideas?

    I have a Canon 60D and I am unable to view or transfer photos to the Ipad using the SD Card reader. I have been able to view images with a Canon T3i. Are there certain settings I need to set on the 60d or should it work automatically? anythoughts or ideas? thanks

    Are the photo's you're trying to view/download in Raw?  I've had difficulty downloading Raw files, but have had no issues downloading JPEG files. Also, check a setting in your Canon, called communication.  From what I've read (I'm a Nikon D5100 guy myself), communication needs to be set to PTP, not normal.  I'm not sure how that will help if the pictures are already encoded?
    Well scratch what I've written.  I just googled the 60D and supposedly, JPEG and Raw are supposed to transfer through the SD card reader easily.  So, I'm clueless.  Sorry.......
