I can not change background color

[David Michie]

Please describe exactly what you did, step-by-step.

Cheers, David.

Create a new movie -->Background--> try to pick any color --> Doesn't changed. I already download twice this version in meantime to 2 different computers, but same problem persists

[David Michie]

What kind of system are you running, and how many colors is your display?

Also, after you change the background color, try switching to another application and switching back to Swish so the layout window gets repainted.

Also, try removing the "DJJ Holdings" key from the registry using regedit, and re-runnning Swish.

Cheers, David.

It changes ok the background on Alpha 5 but not on Alpha 6

I got Win Me with 256 MB RAM and 16 Million Colors in one system, and
win2000 128 RAM and 16 Million Colors in another system, in both same problem

It works if you had a second scene, but what about first scene, keeps white, doen'st matter what I do. I did as well the regedit thing, but still

[zankye1]

changing the background only on the second scene (because it doens't let me change on the original scene) , when you preview it, flashes non stop

[zankye1]

I can send you the swi file if you want

[David Michie]

Ok, we've reproduced it.

I was using the Scene tab, and you were using the Movie tab.
If you use the Scene tab it will work fine, but I'll fix it anyway.

Cheers, David.

[zankye1]

On my second machine I did the regedit thing it works ok now. I'm going to try on my first machine again that didn't work the first time

[zankye1]

Thanks David and Hung-Hsin Chang. His the beta version launched at Flash Forward next week?

[David Michie]

In the fixed version the Movie tab color corresponds
to the selected Scene tab color. If you change the
color of the selected scene the movie changes and
vice versa.

Just waiting for Hung-Hsin to fix something...

Cheers, David.

I noticed already, thanks anyway, I've been playing with this version, and it "kicks ass", I know you are going to have a great sucess at Flash Forward, because you got an amazing product.MM should start getting worried.

It works, but now you do it through the Scene tab.

All these new features are INCREDABLE...you will blow them away at FF2001.

Bugs:
Snake Effect: Unless I did something without realizing it there is a bug with the new AWESOME Snake effect. Chances the start angle (just a bit) and somehow the text went upside down, inside out, or something. Perhaps this is a bug with the Rotation instead. This rotation was done in the frame preview mode.

Gradients: will not hold x,y in the properties menu.

Cannot believe you put so many new features in this version. Don't know which I like best.

Hung Hisn: Can't believe you did so much with the Reshaping tool! This is FABULOUS!

David: The sound control is (starting to run out of adjectives good enuogh to describe the new features so have to use)WOW!!!

Thanks a million for these WOW features!

David & co,
not so much a bug as a question -
How do I copy a sprite from one movie to another?
I selected my sprite
Edit/copy
File/new
Edit/paste
- even though it shows in timeline, it doesn't show on the stage at all, not in layout mode or preview mode.
Any help??

Found it...it is when you select y Fixed or Square in Waveform. The text effect runs backwards, and the letters (forget think they are) mirrored as well.
