Dynamic mask not working once loaded

I have a movie that has a dynamic mask in it. Once I load
that file into my other movie, it no longer works.
I am not even sure to start to look. It makes no sense to me.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

re-assign the mask after loading is complete.

  • Mask not working on loaded jpg

    Hi,
    I have a blank movie called "shell" on a frame, which is
    where I load the jpg. - shell.loadMovie("1.jpg");
    Above that the frame that contains the shell movie, I have a
    mask layer. Once the jpg is loaded, I have a shape animation on the
    mask layer that reveals the jpg.... but for some reason it doesn't
    work. If I take away the mask layer it displays properly.
    *UPDATE*
    The mask stops working when the shape tween starts. Initialy
    the masks works when there is no tween on the mask layer.

    Thanks - your example worked for me. Not sure why I couldn't get it to work before. I think it was because the mask and the item were the same exact size as well. I created another example and posted below which is what I was going for.

    hi, i have the same problem.. can you post the code that
    solved your problem please?
    so we all can see how it works correctly
    and how you set the mask a few frames/sec further in code.

  • Dynamic Link Not Working

    To anyone that can help..
    I am having several issues with adobe at the moment and really need some advice. i have tried adobe themselves, they struggled to help too, but that was mainly down to language issues.
    I have a Canon XHA1S camera with an external shotgun mic Rodeo NGP-2. All of which at some point worked through premiere pro CS5 and encore. i was living the dream.
    Then one day, it all started having issues.
    Problem #1 - Dynamic Link stopped working
    Once my project is done, i would send it to Encore via dynamic link and produce my DVD in either regular or blu ray. Now it doesn't. A box 'import premiere pro sequence' comes up but encore crashes before it can complete the import. sometimes a message telling me "the software thats used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decodes for the file your working with may help correct the problem" comes up too
    Its strange that i've produced about 20 disks with no issues but now a problem. was told by adobe it could relate to the file/pixel size? but again have no idea why this is now a problem now and not before, in fact i would just be happy to know how to change it so it can work? Can anyone help?
    Problem #2 - Audio
    The only way i am able to make a disk at the moment is to produce it on DVD maker - it's the only way until i get my issues resolved. however my external mic is not coming through, this has something to do with the sound quality to the mic being 44.1 and the DVD maker requiring 48mhz. i can't seem to convert this to work in anything but AVI (would like MPEG-2) but then the picture quality drops to something similar to a tribul rubbing.
    If anyone knows of something or can point me in the right direction i would be very greateful
    Thanks

    Especially for Bluray or DVD that is HD to SD, DL must sometimes be avoided.
    But the type of problem you are having may indicate other problems. If regular projects are not working, see these:

    Regarding the audio, can't you just export as 48K?

  • The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad

    The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad
    Today When I tried to open the app store on my ipad I found out that's the store is not working,,, It's giving me the loading screen like for ever without any error message. So I tried my Macbook and my iphone and it was the same,,,, I thought it was from the connection so I tried several different connections and It was the same.
    Any Idea what is going on with the app store ?

    The App Store app on your iPhone in your iPad is a different App Store than the app store app on your Mac. You use the same account for both app stores. So I would guess that the real issue is perhaps something to do with your Home Network. You might try rebooting your modem/router. Also, turn off any antiviral software, firewalls or apps such as Little Snitch.

    The [c:set|http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/1.1/docs/tlddocs/index.html] tag is used to set a scoped attribute not request parameter. So when you write
    <sql:param value="${param.userid}" />You get null as there is no parameter named userid in the request. Try this
    <sql:param value="${userid}" />I would recommend you not to do database connectivity stuff in JSP, JSPs are the view layer of an application and they aren't supposed to be for doing business logic. Also since you are using a random userid, you might end up with multiple users with the same ID and IDs are generally supposed to be unique...

  • Mask not working correctly?

    Hi every one!
    I have this problem with my mask not working properly, i have an image, and it has an red fruit sitting on a table,
    i have to make the picture sepia using an adjustment layer ( my lecturer says it MUST be done that way)
    but leaving the fruit as red as possible. So when i do this i MUST use the layer mask provided by the
    adjustment layer, but what is happening is the orange is going a very faded red ( but not quite sepia), the table BG does go sepia..
    so its KIND OF working but not really.
    Cheers
    Bunny Face

    Check your mask by OPTION CLICKING on the mask icon on the specific layer. This will show you a greyscale mask. BLACK hides, WHITE REVEALS. SO obviously grey does half of each! So if you dont want the apple to be affected by the layer mask you  must paint it BLACK in the mask of that adjustment layer.

  • Hyperlinks in presentation not working once published - Presenter 7.0.7

    I have a link to an intranet address that will not work once the PowerPoint presentation has been published via Presenter 7.0.7.  The cursor does not change to a pointer and nothing launches when the link is clicked.  I have verified the Flash Player security settings as well as ensured no formatting of the text link except for the color change that happens when the link is inserted.
    The issue (slide 37) can be viewed at:  http://www.pivotpointelearning.com/docs/TTE7161/index.htm
    Any ideas?
    Ray

    Hi Ray,
    Thanks for sharing the presentation.
    Textbox in which your hyperlink is placed have text containing Text effects. When you publish the presentation then any text with text effect is published as an image.
    So, place text with a hyperlink in a separate textbox which don't have any text effects. Segregate the content having text effect and hyperlink in 2 separate textbox.
    Thanks,
    Shubhi

  • Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work

    I purchased the CS5 Adobe Production Premium.  I have been working in Premiere and I have been learning about how to use Dynamic Link. I want to be able to alter clips in After Effects and bring them back and forth into Premiere.  When I go to File/ Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effect Composition, I get this message:
    Adobe Dynamic Link Requires Adobe Production Premium.
    Since I own production premium, I do not know why I am getting this message.  I have reinstalled the CS5 Production Premium Software twice and it still gives me the same message.  What can I do to get Dynamic Link Working.

    Thank you for the tip.  Could you possibly tell me how to deactivate and
    then reactivate the suite.  I am using a Macbook Pro laptop running OS
    10.6.4.  I do not even know where to start.

    Deactivate the software (not uninstall), and then reactivate the suite.
    This often fixes this. You can opt to leave the serial number on the
    system; no need to clear it and re-enter it.

  • Font not working after loading snow leopard.

    My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard.  Is there any way to fix this?

    I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
    <http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
    and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
    If you want to check it with Font Book, use  File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
    For the real font, go to

  • Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

    Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

    It is supposed to be dark.
    Is it all videos that don't display or just some. You may have installed something like Perian or Flip for Mac that translates the video codecs for Quicktime. They may need updating.

  • Help - Simple mask not working in Flash CS4

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks for taking a minute to read my post.
    I am creating a very simple mask using motion tweening. I created some text on a layer and made it a masked layer. Then I created a mask layer which consists of a circle that will span across the text. When I play the movie the circle does not show up at all in the frames the mask layer spans (it's purple on a black background) and the circle does not move across the text like I told it to with the motion tweening. I don't know why it's not working. For some reason the circle isn't showing on the stage at all and it's not moving across the text. I don't know if I have it set up wrong on the timeline or what. Here's the steps I followed to create the mask:
    1.insert a new layer in which I named it mask and click frame 1 on this layer
    2. select the oval tools on the tools panel and set the stroke to none
    3. set the fill color to purple
    4. draw a circle and click the selection tool and drag a marquee around the circle to select it.
    5. click insert on the menu bar, click motion tween then click ok in dialog box about converting it to a symbol to be tweened
    6. click the last frame in the mask layer and drag the circle to the end of the line of text
    7.click mask on the timeline to select the mask layer, click modify on the menu bar, point to timeline then click layer properties
    8. verify the show check box is selected in the name section, click the lock check box to select it, click the mask option button in he type section, then click ok.
    9. play the movie in which the circle object covers the text on the masked layer as it moves across the stage
    Thanks for your help!

    Update 8-2-10: In play mode the text was still visible when it shouldn't be but once I tested the movie the mask worked correctly with the text. So problem solved
    -ashmic19
    Thanks for all who viewed this. I finally figured out why it wasn't working. I had the mask layer locked. But now the circle is moving across the text but the text is viewable when it shouldn't be until the circle moves across it. How come it's doing this?

  • Mask not working correctly in swf

    Hai Friends,
    I am trying to do a simple masking which works correctly in
    fla but when viewed in swf the text which is masked is not
    seen..What i did is first i wrote some text converted it to
    movieclip then in another layer i did draw a rectangle with some
    color and right clicked the rectangle and masked it When viewed in
    fla the masked text is viewable but when converted to swf the text
    is not seen Is it some problem with Flash Can you please help me...

    Text is not able to be masked in Flash by default.
    You CAN do this IF you embed your text (or simply break it
    apart into vectors if it doesn't need to be dynamic).
    To break apart - select your text and hit Ctrl+B twice (Cmd+B
    on Mac). This will make the text vectors, thus negating the
    problem.
    Otherwise, you need to embed the fonts in 2 ways. First, if
    you like, you can click the "Embed fonts" button in the properties
    panel, and select what to embed. OR, you can go to the Library's
    drop-menu and select "New Font" - choose your font, and click OK.
    Either of these methods embeds your font. BUT, there is one more
    step. You need to give your text box an instanceName, go to the
    actions panel, and enter the following:
    myTextBox.embedFonts = true;
    This will finish the embed process to allow the masking (and
    alpha changes) to work for the text.

  • Properties panel for masks not working

    The apply, disable and delete buttons on the properties panel for masks does not work in PSD CC. Is this a bug or do I have some setting not set correctly? If I want to apply a layer mask I have to drag it to the trash in the layers panel then make a choice on a popup menu. They worked in CS6.

    I don't know exactly what is going on with your friend's system, but the instance you mentioned of Applying layers masks, was actually a safety error trap.  i.e. Do you really want to trash this layer mask or do you want to Apply it before deleting it.
    In CC the Adjustment layer, and Masks share the same Properties panel, so you have to have a mask selected to view the masks panel.  It all works sensibly IME.  As I said above, you were coming at something a bit left field.  That's not necessarily wrong.  Whatever workflow works best for you is best for you, but there might be better ways to do things.
    A lot of us rail innitially at changes to apps we have used in a certain way for many years, but IME they always turn out to be for the better once you get used to them.
