Re: [Flashcoders] Bizarre Issue
It's hard to say... A few questions: - do you see all contents when you remove fading completely, i.e. when you set 100% alpha at the beginning ? - did you try starting fade with alpha 50% ? - what kind of event do you use for fading, enter frame or a timer/interval ? - are images loaded into the movie or are they library items or are they bitmapdata (copied loaded images) ? - if images are loaded, they are they completely initialized before showing ? From my experience disappearing mcs may be a problem with setting their depth (that can be already occupied by other mcs or a subsequently attached/created movie clip gets into their depth ). Also, if alpha property of the images gets NaN, they may be invisible. Images can be wrongly resized (width of height is NaN or 0 and the image disappears)... g Tuesday, December 15, 2009 (2:55:13 PM) Lehr, Theodore wrote: I have a weird issue that I will attempt to explain - if no one gets it and does not reply - I understand So I have the same MC that is used say 50 times - each on their own layer These MC have dynamic text boxes and images... they ALL start out with alpha = 0...

Re: [Flashcoders] Bizarre Issue
From my experience, Flash has had issues composing many Bitmaps when they're overlapping each other. It'd just start hiding some of the images, roughly after 20 of them were present. Are your images overlapping? If that's what's going on, you may be able to solve it by 'grouping' the MCs in parent MCs in groups of 10 or so. Then set those parent MCs to precompose (BlendMode.LAYER, or adding an empty blur filter to force it), thus avoiding a direct composition of more than 20 layers at a time.

Re: [Flashcoders] Bizarre Issue
These MC have dynamic text boxes and images... they ALL start out with alpha = 0... dynamic images ? Do you mean that the images get loaded dynamically ? You are, maybe, starting to show the scene when it is not fully loaded ... :| hth, Cedric ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
