Hello,

 

So I'm animating something, and my first export test went fine. But as i continued to work on my animation, i got to about 700 keyframes and after this, i go to export to see how well it runs. And when I look at the video, i notice line work is missing from certain parts, keyframes say in the 100-300 section appear in various places in the video, I'm able to see line work through layers that are above them, some layers just aren't appearing and are seemingly underneath layers that they are definitely above, and nothing is right at all. Everything runs fine in my timeline but it's th export that's not right. I've been exporting as video/media as that's what I want, but I'm unsure if I pressed something or if I'm exporting incorrectly. Please help me out here. You can see what I mean by the video I'm attaching.

Hello,

 

First, thankyou for your reply. I've tried these both but they did not work. I've kept checking the timeline to see if some frames extended past where I wanted them to and if there were any duplicates anywhere, yet there's nothing.


Most likely it's the frame effects that you apply to non-symbols that are causing problems:

If you turn off the so-called Advanced Layers, the SWF publishes and plays fine.

 

Advanced Layers are the death bed of Flash - an implementation so absurd, flawed and buggy that it beggars belief.

 

The way I see it, you have two ways to deal with you current predicament:

1. Restructure your file to be able to turn off Advanced Layers and use symbols with normal object effects.

2. Keep it as it is and render a PNG sequence, which you can turn into video in a video editing application such as Premiere.
