I am having a problem with images disappearing from the library (and therefore
from the stage/movie). Hopefully someone can help me.

Here's what is happening: I imported several (~20) jpgs to the library
(bitmap properties: allow smoothing, jpeg compression, use imported jpeg data)
- then convert to symbol (graphic). I use the symbol (graphic) in the movie,
not the bitmap. Everything seems to work ok and I save and close my file
(.fla). Then, when I open the file again, images randomly disappear from the
library (both the bitmap and the symbol). The places in the movie where I had
instances of the image, are now blank with the circle in the middle of where
the image was and the crosshair in the upper left of where the image was
supposed.

My naming convention - All bitmaps begin with bmp_. All graphics begin with
gfx_. There are no spaces in the image name... I use the underscore _ when I
need to separate words in the image name.

I've used motion tweening on all of the graphics - the ones that disappeared
and also on the ones that are still there.

I've checked the properties of the disappeared images - and the alpha is not
changed to 0... I did not lock the W/H/X/Y.

The images that disappeared are not all on the same scene.

I don't know what is causing this... and I'm about to pull my hair out trying
to figure it out!! Any ideas?

Thanks for helping.

Never seen such a thing, butcheck to be certain that the images are
"flash import compatable" (non-progressive, rgb--simple flat jpegs).
Alternatively you might try importing pngs and do the jpeg compression in
flash. -Tom Unger

Hi,
the file may be corrupted or you are working on a file from a different Flash
version, this happens to me some times. you can move your file content to a new
file and try to rename the images items in the library.

hope this helps
