Question

Published HTML5 Graphics Disappear / Empty After Last Frame

Publishing an HTML5 Project with Loop Timeline turned off, and with a Graphic Symbol that:

- Has a same or longer length of frames as there are in the main timeline.

- Has no empty frames

- Is set to "Play Once"

results in the Graphic disappearing after the published animation reaches its end. 

 

Workarounds so far are manually inserting a "stopping" keyframe at the end of the animation, such as:

- On any layer, adding a keyframe with "this.stop()" or similar actionscript 

- On the Graphics layer in the main timeline, converting the final frame into a keyframe and switching the graphic to "Hold Frame" 

 

These workarounds, in my opinion, should be unnecessary considering I already have Loop Timeline turned off and the Graphic symbol set to "Play Once." Additionally, adding a "stopping" frame adds  additional layers and/or keyframes, which bloats the timeline and can easily lead to errors if moving the graphic without "Edit Multiple Frames" always enabled.

I'm trying to upload the fla file but I'm getting this error:

  • The attachment's sample.fla content type (application/octet-stream) does not match its file extension and has been removed.


Once I can share it, you will have to publish it yourself and view the HTML in browser to see how the graphic symbols "disappear". Maybe I am missing something about how "Play Once" or nested timelines are supposed to work.  

 

Also using 23.0.2 btw

you can't attach fla's in the adobe forums.  

 

i suggest you isolate the steps that cause the problem so it's easier to debug.
