Has anyone ever come accross in flash when you have an image on the stage and you export it, it turns to a horizonal band of colors?

if you're using a bizarre format some crazy, crazy things may happen.
try resaving it as a jpg in photoshop. play with the settings.

i saved it as a jpeg to begin with. I have fucked around with the compression setting to no avail.. i tested it in IE and Safari on a Mac and it doesnt happen there. I have only had it happen on a pc... But my client says it is happening for her on a Mac.

yeah, sorry. a problem i haven't come across before. just thinking - it might be something of use in the future?

I had a problem before where I had a bunch of small images stacked vertically in a movieclip, and the total height was above 2880px. When I exported the file, the images beyond that height just showed up as a color (green in this case).
So if your image is really big try scaling it down to see if that fixes it.

All my images are in a scrolling image gallery. so it is a really long movie clip..
Anyone ever come across this?

hhmmm. how long?
to my knowledge the flashplayer has a limit of about 2800 pixels for a single object.after that it fucks up.

well the weird thing is that it skips some images in the line of images and displays them normally, almost at random.

man i dunno, i have had some jpg
shizzle in flash also..but nothing like yours.try this (in the first frame of your movie)
setProperty ("", highquality, "2");

I think its just one of those quirks that you have to learn to work around - Ive noticed shit like before. Also copying compnents onto the clipboard can just kill the whole app. : /
Maybe just try doing everything by dynamically linking stuff, and never have anything on the stage period...can be fun.

If i were to do it over again i woudl ahve them dynamically loaded but its a shitload of work to re-do now.

:( boo..
Ive yet to complete a project where I havent come up with a great new way to have done it differently just before the deadline.
Ive just realised what i should have posted now, too.
Bah.

bump.. anyone ever come across this before? Day 2 for me and no fix yet!
- sureshot0
can you trow it online?
an example perhaps?maybe that way someone can't spot that little critter.

I've had corrupted FLAs where an image would do something like you're describing. Do you have an earlier version you can start over from?
- steadyvibe0
BUMP!

i had the same exact thing happen to me with this site i made: www.totalworld.us/beta the problem comes from your images being too long on the x axis (or y....doesn't matter) in one mc. flash hates super long images. my work around was to split the row (or column) of images in half (into 2 graphic symbols) then place the 2 graphic symbols inside the movie clip you want to scroll. hope that works for you.
cheers.

This may be a long shot, but make sure your image is not CMYK.
