_visible not working on mc

This is completely doing my nut in...
I have 5 movie clips, each on a separate layer with a layer
mask above them all - and I want to hide them. They are all mcs,
all with instance names that can be found with the target finder,
but the _visible property and _alpha properties don't work. My code
is so simple:
sand._visible = false;
But it's not working.... help!
M

Have just realised that, for some reason, masking the mc
prevents it from being made invisible. So the alternative is to
make the mc itself have the mask... although it's a bit of a pain
in the neck alternative! So if anyone has any bright
ideas...

  • _visible not working?

    I'm trying to set the _visible of a number of movieclips to flase all at once:
    the clips are titled: b0, b1, b2, etc.
    for (i=0; i<oobb.length; i++) {
          _root["b"+i]._visible = false;
          trace(_root["b"+i]._visible);
    The problem is that the trace confirms that the movieclips' _visible properties have indeed been set to false, but the movieclips remain visible.
    How did I get them to actualy become hidden?

    there's no code problem as long as your movieclips are on the _root timeline and you're using the correct instance name and there's not other code executing afterwards that's re-assigning their _visible property.

  • Button not working in Movie Clip

    I'm building a small 'table builder' app for a client. This
    is my first major project in flash and I've encountered something I
    cannot figure out for the life of me.
    In the .fla below there's a movie clip 'scroller' it has
    buttons in it which load .png's to the main stage. Some of the
    buttons work, some don't.... I can't figure out why. Even when I
    duplicate a button sometimes it doesn't work.??? If I take a button
    that's not working in the movie clip and cut/paste onto the main
    timeline it ALWAYS works. I've been pulling my hair out over this
    for the last two days . I have even started the whole project from
    scratch just to try and find out where I went wrong... but to no
    avail..... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm stuck on a
    hump and I need some help to get off of it.
    Here's a link to my file. I've stripped away all the styling
    elements so it should be pretty clean cut when you see it. Thanks
    for any help or guidance!

    A few errors: Scene 1 frame 1 Actions layer. You are
    referring to buttons inside of the scroller, and you don't have
    too. They aren't doing anything. All you need on that frame is:
    function startLoading(whichImage) {
    loadMovie(whichImage, "imageLoader");
    _root.onEnterFrame = function() {
    infoLoaded = imageLoader.getBytesLoaded();
    infoTotal = imageLoader.getBytesTotal();
    percentage = Math.floor(infoLoaded/infoTotal*100);
    infoField.text = percentage+"%";
    if (percentage>=100) {
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    infoField._visible = false;
    Then on the Scroller you have that function again. Remove it
    from the scroller, as it does nothing there. Inside of the scroller
    all you need is code to attach png files from pressing the buttons.
    Make sure each button has a unique instance name, which isn't the
    case right now. You have like three buttons called imgbtn1. Fix
    that.

  • Preloader in external swf not working

    I have several external SWFs that are loaded into my site and
    each one has a preloader. When I run them by themselves the
    preloader works fine, but when it is embeded into the main SWF the
    preloaders do not work. Any ideas?
    here is my actionscript -
    lBytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
    tBytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
    percentLoaded = Math.floor((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
    loader.bar._xscale = percentLoaded;
    loader.percent.text = percentLoaded + "% of " +
    Math.floor(tBytes/1024) + "K loaded.";
    if (lBytes>=tBytes && tBytes>0) {
    if (count>=12) {
    gotoAndPlay("enter");
    } else {
    count++;
    gotoAndPlay("preload");
    } else {
    gotoAndPlay("preload");
    }

    I am experiencing the exact same problem on my site -
    www.expansiondesign.com
    It works in flash player but not when live (tested safari and
    firefox)
    I don't know if you are using the same script as I am paul.
    I execute the following when each image button is pressed:
    button1.onRelease = function () {
    startLoading("image1.jpg");
    which runs this:
    function startLoading(whichImage) {
    loadMovie(whichImage, "_root.image_holder");
    _root.onEnterFrame = function() {
    infoLoaded = _root.image_holder.getBytesLoaded();
    infoTotal = _root.image_holder.getBytesTotal();
    percentage = (infoLoaded/infoTotal*100);
    _root.loader._yscale = percentage;
    _root.loader._visible = true;
    if (percentage>=100) {
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    _root.loader._visible = false;
    Thanks,

  • Statements not working...

    Hi there!
    Would you please tell me why the _visible statements are not
    working in the code below?
    Many thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
    Regards
    Gerry
    [CODE]
    //this is to display the cover photo
    createEmptyMovieClip("CONTAINER", 1);
    CONTAINER._x = 22;
    CONTAINER._y = 130;
    CONTAINER.loadMovie("Images/cover.jpg");
    CONTAINER._visible = true;
    //this is to display the verso photo
    createEmptyMovieClip("CONTAINERTWO", 2);
    CONTAINERTWO._x = 22;
    CONTAINERTWO._y = 130;
    CONTAINERTWO.loadMovie("Images/verso.jpg");
    CONTAINERTWO._visible = false;
    [/CODE]

    good luck. but i can tell you already, that for best results
    with printing, use the printjob (pj) class and after instantiating
    a pj instance, create a movieclip that's tailored to your pj's
    pageWidth and pageHeight properties and contains exactly what you
    want printed, arranged exactly the way you want it to appear on the
    printed page.

    Hi
    The WF should also trigger if i add the Partner function in UI.If i change any Attribute the WF triggers but i dont want to change the attribute when i add the partner function.
    If i have only one event for WF that is Partner Change the WF will not trigger it for the 1st time when i save the UI. But next i come to the same saved doc and add a partner function then the Wf triggers.
    So this means that Partner change is active.
    the issue here is i need to trigger the WF on , the 1st time i save the UI, for which i wil be using Attribute Change and next time when i come back to saved doc the and add only the partner function and no changes are made to attributes the WF should again trigger.
    Thanks

  • IPhone 4 Voice Memos not working/saving

    Hi there,
    I'm having trouble with my voice memos too. Up until yesterday they were working fine and now, even though the record button works, the stop button does not and I can only pause them. Worse again is that the button to go into the menu to view all voice memos is not working so I can't play them from my iPhone and nothing new is saving to my iTunes. Please help!

    I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes. It has to be the new OS/iTunes not communicating that new memos have been recorded. For some reason they won't sync when I want them to, and then a few syncs later they magically appear.
    By the way, I'm VERY comfortable with the iTunes and iPhone systems. I've been using iTunes for 5 years, and I've been recording class lectures with the iPhone voice memo app (and another app) for a couple years. It's not an error of not seeing that the memos were added; they don't exist in my library or music folders.

  • Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

    I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
    1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
    2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
    My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
    Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?
    Ron

    I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
    The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
    My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

  • Polygonal lasso tool not working with stylus on Surface Pro 2

    Hi guys,
    I'm new here so please bare with me if I'm posting in the wrong place or don't make immediate sense.
    Hardeware / software used: surface pro 2 and I'm running photoshop CS5.
    Problem is a fairly basic one: I am trying to make basic selections using the polygonal lasso tool (using the stylus that comes with the tablet) but it simply will not work. All I get when I touch the stylus to the screen is the circle that appears then fades. If I attach the keypad and try using that then it works no problem at all.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to whether there is a particular setting that I need to switch on or off e.g. something relating to pressure sensitivity (although not sure why this would affect this particular selection tool)?
    I've searched the web and come up with nothing so far so any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks for your time
    Scott
