Mask Layer not working in cropping to stage Flash

I've read through umpteen Flash threads of frustrated users who export SWF and anything visible outside the stage appears in the SWF when opened in a browser. None of the solutions have worked for me. My file is called statement_onlineheader.fla. It can be seen here http://www.mediafire.com/?yrmgnoynihw. Anyone know why this does not work for me?
I have my mask layer above a folder containing all other layers. I have also tried moving the mask layer above individual layers. Same result. Stuff outside the stage appears in the exported SWF.

Very true. So what do you think is wrong with my file? The top layer is marked "Mask" when I control-click it, and it doesn't matter if I put it over an individual layer or not. The top layer is a rectangle the size of the stage, yet this layer (which is checked as a mask) does not mask what is below it.

Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Hi, is this a question" Post?
or are you just offering an insight into your Mouse Issue?
Generally and at times we all have little idiosyncrasies appearing with the running of our Macs.
I use the same Logitech BT with my MBP. MB & iBook..(not at the same time) Only ever had one issue
and the cure was to completely Delete the mouse from BT -> Repair Permissions & Reboot then Re Install the BT mouse..Ihave just put a new set of batteries in the Logitech (only 2nd set ever)...L

Layer mask suddenly not working, how to fix this?

Please help!
I have been using the layer mask before and it has worked fine until now. Suddenly it only paints black and white colors, not revealing or hiding as it should. I have the mask layer selected properly. I have reset the brush tool and all the tools. I have the brush mode set to normal.
I tried also the eraser, it paints black too.
I'm using Photoshop CC.

If you hold the Alt|option key when you click on the Layer Mask icon in the layers palette to target the layer mask Photoshop will display the layer mask in the images window not the composite image. Layer Mask are gray scale channels. All you can see is the mask Black, White and Gray. Could you have Displayed the layer mask by accident. Are you sure you have the layer mask targeted to show the composite image or could you have targeted its to show the Layer Mask instead of the composite image.

My text layer mask is not working when I test it

My text layer mask does not appear when I test the movie. The
mask works move the key along the timeline, but when I test the
movie nothing shows up. I'm doing exactly the same thing I do when
I mask images. I actually imported an image to the text layer and
the mask worked correctly. What am I doing wrong?

provide a link the fla - make sure your text layer is truly
linked to the Mask layer. What is the
font? Did you try breaking apart the font until it becomes
raw shapes? not that you want to do that
but save as with new name - try it and if it still doesnt
work, then the issue is not with your font.

CS5 64 bit Masking is not working

Wierd problem in 64 bit layer masking dosen't work properly. White reveals the layer below when using brush tool. Black will not paint back in. Isn't white working backwards? I am using Win 7 core I7 processor with 12gig of ram.
CS5 in 32 bit works fine so far.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

Double check that your brush tool is not set to something other than "Normal" mode painting.
However, white in a layer mask should cause opacity and show what's on the layer itself, black should allow what's below to show through.
Choose Edit - Preferences - Performance, and disable OpenGL Drawing temporarily. If that helps, see if there is a video driver update from the web site of the maker of your particular graphics card.

Simple Mask Effect not working in Flash 8 Pro

Hi,
Are you sure that you set your Mask layer to a Mask? Double
click the icon int he right of the Layer name and set the Layer
type to a mask.
And regarding the Fade, I guess you may miss some thing, let
me know the steps you have done to create your Fade effect?
hope this helps

Move tool issue : Command key + mouse dragging for moving any layer not working in PS CC

I'm trying to move a layer within the document by holding command key and mouse dragging (mouse cursor not above the layer) is not working at all while using move tool. Suddenly this functionality stopped working. Now I have to place my cursor on layer to be move and drag with mouse. Also pressing command key changing auto select option from layer to group.
Please help.

Usually when a tool is not working as expected, a Reset of that tool might be the answer.
Select the move tool in the toolbox,
Go to the move tool icon on the top left of the screen (just above the toolbox in its' Option bar) and Ctrl-click on it to get the Reset menu.
Click on Reset Tool.

Mask layer not in Layers tab

I have sent a video clips from my FCP timeline to Motion and added a Circle Mask to it. But somehow my hand slipped and I hit a key.... because now I do not see the mask layer in the Layers tab. And I need to attach a Match Move behavior to it.
I can see that the mask is still there (it is present on the Timeline).
What did I do to seemingly toggle off its presence in the Layers tab?
Thanks

sure enough...
Thanks.

Mask layer not visible in layers palete

I have a strange problem, when I apply any kind of mask to a layer in motion 3, the mask icon shows up on the layer to which it was applied in the layers palette, but the mask layer does not show up underneath the layer to which it was applied, thus i can't select the mask to adjust the controls of the mask, I can only toggle it on and off,
I would assume this is a simple user error, but for the life of me I can't find a "show mask layer" setting anywhere,
any insight on this problem would be hugely appreciated.

the disclosure triangle for the entire group is twiddled, showing my layers and any added effects, but for some reason the only thing that shows the presence of a mask is the small square icon on the video layer, but as there is not layer beneath the video layer to click on to adjust mask controls... i have been watching m3 tutorials and the mask always creates a layer in the palette when activated, but for some reason it's not with mine...
???

Clipping Mask is NOT working

This is so strange , i can't get the clipping mask feature to work on my pc. I tried it on another one and it worked.
This is before i apply the mask to my rectangle.
After i apply it , the image dissapears and nothing else happens.
I've been trying for 4 hours to fix this and it keeps refusing to work properly.

Without trying to analyze just what you're doing with the clipping mask functionality, an initial response:
If it fails for you on one computer but not another, assuming you're doing exactly the same things to the same file, that says there's a problem with the computer.
Try disabling OpenGL Drawing temporarily in the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu.
If that works around the issue, go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download and install an updated video driver. Assuming your video card is still being supported by the manufacturer, updated video drivers usually solve strange display issues like this.

Masking is not working in Breeze

I am importing a swf into a ppt using the Breeze insert
Flash. Once converted, the masking around the swf/flash file is not
showing up. I have a mask around my animation in order to hide any
items I don't want to show. In presentation mode with Powerpoint it
works. Once published in Breeze, they do not work. Any help would
be appreciated.

New Grading Layer not working

When I make looks on my orginal footage layer everything works fine. When I make a new grading layer to add a look to the whole video (like legalize NTSC) nothing happens when I add the look. I try different looks on the new grading layer just to try to see a change but nothing happens.

OpenGL ES Textures with alpha layer not working with Colorpointers

Hey,
I'm trying to get a texture - that's loaded from a .png file - to fade out gradually. I can load it using the Apple's "Texture2d" class and present it with its own transparency. The problem is when I try to combine that transparency with a color pointer. I'll try to give an example code...
const GLubyte squareColors[] = {
128, 128, 128, 128,
128, 128, 128, 128,
0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0,0, 0,
glColorPointer(4, GLUNSIGNEDBYTE, 0, squareColors);
glEnableClientState(GLCOLORARRAY);
glEnable(GLTEXTURE2D);
glEnableClientState(GLTEXTURE_COORDARRAY);
glEnableClientState(GLVERTEXARRAY);
glTexEnvi(GLTEXTUREENV, GLTEXTURE_ENVMODE, GL_REPLACE);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GLSRCALPHA, GLONE_MINUS_SRCALPHA);
for (Sprite *element in dynamicBodies) {
glLoadIdentity();
[element renderSprite];
Now, if the original .png happens to be completely opaque, it gets darker and transparent because it gets multi-sampled with the color matrix. But if it has any see-through parts in itself, it does not get affected by the the color.
I'm sure it has to be possible to change the alpha percentage of an alpha layered texture, but I can't seem to find another way.
Does anyone happen to know why this does not work, or how it could be accomplished some other way? I would be highly appreciative.

You set your texture environment mode to GL_REPLACE. The implementation of this feature is to replace the primary color (set via ColorPointer or Color3f) with the sampled texture value, so your color will have no effect.
Replace the texture env mode with GL_MODULATE, which will multiply the Texture Unit Input Color (==PrimaryColor for Texture Unit 1) with the sampled texture value.

Iphone 4 flash light not working.but getting a click flash only once

my iphone 4 with ios 6.0.1 led is not working even if i turn on in settings but it is working once if a picture is taken and is not working in videos eventhough it is turned on...
and gps navigation is not proper..can u help me
thanks in advance

Sorry but I dont have a solution. I do however have a similar problem in that my microphone has stopped working since upgrading. Well at least it doesnt work when making calls, voice memos or skype calls. I have to speak directly into the mic for the person I am talking to, to hear me - and even then it is very feint. I dont think its a hardware problem as when I record video the sound it perfect. Although I have seen that some believe the video recording used the noise cancellation mic. But, I downloaded an app which is used to measure sound power which I confirmed that the bottom mic is working properly.
So this post is to add my voice to your concern really.
The worst part is, I did not save a SHSH blob to be able to downgrade to 5.1.1 so im kinda stuck.
