MovieClip disappearing at export

[Rantzien]

I am having a strange problem. I have a MovieClip instance manually placed on stage (the main timeline), called window by instance name. Now when I export the application, the window does not exist. A call to window on the main timeline returns undefined, a call to this on the window's onLoad event returns nothing, since it doesn't execute, as a result of the window disappearing or not being exported at all.

I have no removeMovieClip (), unloadMovie () or such anywhere in the application, and I haven't touched the depth of anything. Is this a bug or am I just overlooking something?

Can you show us the .fla?

It's a long shot, but could it be a problem with a reserved name? Try renaming it as my_window or something.

Sure

Nope, I've tried that...

It's not. I tried that already.

Dude, it works perfectly for me. Trace:

_level0.window

Must be something wrong with your Flash. Either that or it simply can't handly your sexy Swedishness, and deletes itself.

Umm, you had this on your MC.

onClipEvent (load) {
this._y = -400;

}

I think thats why, XD.

Oh, you meant even when you click a button, sorry. It works for me, mabye its your version of flash, try restarting it. That somtimes helps :).

Or preview it in a standalone player. Now do i get a cookie?

There's no problem for me in the Flash.
If I press a button it'll come to where it should come etc.
It works perfectly fine for me.

The problem was that I used special fonts against a translucent background. Somehow that prevented the window from appearing at all. I'm breaking the text apart to shapes now, so it works, even though it's awkward if it needs changing... Oh well, the important thing is that it works.

Thanks for your help

Of course! The fonts! It all makes so much sense!

Nice to know you've made sense of it all, anyway Ranty.
