Just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue in Flash. Im creating a movie file for a website header with simple enough images and text. When working on the file in flash, for some bizarre reason, some of the images have stopped appearing in the pasteboard.
The flash file still has the images, when I export it its all ok, things just are not appearing in the pasterboard.
Any ideas why this may be happening?
Anyone have this problemmo before?
Pain in the sack!

what's a pasterboard/pasteboard?

in publishing settings export hidden layers should be checked

sorry typo, pasteboard, you know your window, or document area whatever you want to call it. but it's a good start.

zaq yeah its exporting everything perfectly, but for some reason it's not previewing some images (not all of them) in the flash file as I am working on it.

Enable Live Preview under control Menu

hmm, I've never run into that. you must have a lot of images stacked, maybe it's a flash memory issue?

I just remembered I had this issue. Create a new file, select all the frames from your existing file and copy into a new one. That should fix this
- Ive had to do that with 100Meg documents before, nailbitingly taking 20 mins to transfer...mikotondria3

Is the layer masked with nothing in the mask layer?

yeah thats solved it zaq! thanks a lot.
strange the way this happens. I've never had this happen before in flash, I can only think its a memory thing.
Although the file actually isnt that big, only around 5 mb, cheers zaq

There is a little square outline box just above your layers palette that makes everything show as outlines. If you click that it will display all of your bitmaps as just outlines. I just copied and pasted frames from one flash file to another and notice it doesn't retain that setting so that was might have been the issue.
