  • AVI background becomes black when sequenced

    The background (blue sky) becomes black when I put my avi in first. Avi is rendered with 3ds max. Anyway to fix this? I prefer the blue of the sky .

    My guess is that the AVI has an embedded alpha channel. If this is the case, try this:

    Right-click on the item in the project Panel, go to edit > interpret footage and select 'Ignore Alpha Channel' checkbox in the Panel that appears.

    If this does not work, post back with a screenshot of your properties file, as shown in the first, or an application like GSpot (I guess that you're on a PC).

  • TextField becomes black when executing the script

    I have javaScript that runs when a textfield is changing. Part of the script makes the invisible custom buttons if they are currently.  When you run the script, the involved textfield value black towers. Can someone tell me what would make a textfield turn black when a script like the one below works? If you click outside the field, the black disappears.

     MEG02.QAN.FirstActionReqSubform.ActionWrittenBy::change - (JavaScript, client)
     this.resolveNode("QANemailSubform").presence = "hidden";

    Hello

    I have no why the field would turn black, but I wonder if this code could be moved to another event, perhaps the output event as the change event will be triggered for each character.  Perhaps the shape is so busy running this code it doesn't have time to repaint the field correctly?

    You can publish your form somewhere, I'd be interested to see that happen.

  • Screen becomes black when it is connected to the charger, gets it back on in hibernation

    Material:

    I can't find the switch near the cover so I have no hind that is twisted ~ if it exists

    I can't afford a laptop replacement and require to work, collages and games (opened and repaired this laptop several times replaced MO/BO twice and switched CPU + heatsink) patches or diagnosis would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

    Hi again, Rockmantis

    I don't think so. The inverter is the piece of hardware that controls what is displayed on the screen. If it was bad, then there will be nothing on the screen, even with the bright light directly on it. But the backlight is what makes the visible image by turning it upwards. With this bad, it can sometimes work, and then sometimes not, as is current for you.

    Best,

  • Compaq presario cq42 screen becomes black when the external monitor is unplugged

    Compaq presario cq42-137tu running windows 7 32 bit.

    I've been using a connected external display on the vga port and now every time I disconnect the monitor and restart the laptop the laptop LCD screen will display the original message of compaq and the black windows boot screen with the logo but then turns off. If I reconnect the extrnal monitor it will work fine (even if the external monitor is turned off)

    The screen of the laptop works fine without the external monitor connected in safe mode.

    I used both the HP support and the setting in the display panel to select single monitor and set the display on the screen of the laptop, but every time that the external monitor is not connected the screen turns off. The external screen does not need to be turned on, just to connect to the laptop monitor work. I also tried to download the graphics driver and put it back.

    If your laptop is a ComPaq base model then there is the (built-in) Intel UMA / GMA 4500 M - GL40 chipset with video memory sharing and you should consider downloading and installing the driver Intel graphics high definition (HD).

  • My Apple TV becomes black when you try to play content on NetFlix

    Hi guys,.

    So we have just upgraded to the new Apple TV 4 (32 GB model) and brought it home with our TV & home theater.

    Everything works until I try to read the content using the Netflix app that I downloaded the Apple TV. The show takes over (you can see the spinning wheel run as it load the movie/show) but when it starts playing you can hear content on the sound end surround, but the screen is just black - no video at all.

    If I do a full restart of the home theater, TV & Apple TV and start again it will load each time than in quite awhile - but more often that otherwise, I get the same error.

    Any thoughts on what I might hurt?

    Thank you.

    Try these steps, check to see if things work after each step if necessary, before you try the next.

    1. Restart the Apple TV (settings > system > restart).
    2. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL cables for 30 seconds.
    3. Restart your router. (Also try to remove the power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    4. Reset Apple TV (settings > system > reset > reset all settings)
    5. Restore the Apple TV (settings > system > reset > restore)

    If guard re - problems that occur, you can have a network problem.

  • CS3 Mac: Text white becomes black when the file is reopened

    System: PowerBook G4, Illustrator CS3.0.2 and OS 10.4.11
    I have attached a sample (only 85ko) in this position, and there is a to http://homepage.Mac.com/tlmurray/filechute/WTTB_sample.AI . The sample has two layers. The background is black and locked; the top layer contains the text. This sequence illustrates the problem:
    1. Launch Illustrator and make sure that the Panel of colors and character Styles Panel are open, and you are in preview mode.
    2. Open the example file. It appears as a black rectangle.
    3. Select the text by area or by i-Beam, is not serious. The text covers the rectangle, so you can target anywhere.
    4. Note the character Style Panel. You will see that the Normal Character Style entry does not have a sign, Illustrator, says the text matches the style +.
    5. Redefine the Normal Character Style by double-clicking it, choose the color of characters and click the shade of white.
    6. The text becomes white.  Good so far.
    7. Save and close the file.
    8. Reopen the file. On my system, the text changes to black.

    Another similar sequence is to transform the white text by clicking on the white background in the color Panel or swatches, the accomplishment of a "Redefine character Style" in the list of options panels.

    Anyone see this? Y at - it a trick I'm missing?

    The problem isn't your Style of character!

    The problem is that your white is not a color.

    To see this, when you open your character styles and choose your "hue" white, is dimmed, since you can only color tint.

    To resolve this issue, double-click your white swatch so that it opens the box of color options. under the colour / spot color box check the option of 'Global' .

    Now, close the box options and go to you style of character and select white, you will notice color is now available.

    Close and save, problem solved

    He will explain why white resets, since illustrator does not recognize it as a color and the default values in black. However, every time you do one other color it is resolved and what makes the only consistent problem with the shade of white.

    Tested and worked for me.  Hope it solves for you.

  • firefeox updated 24, becomes black when restoring the windows also is blocking the close and minimize buttons. How to FIX?

    Recently, I lie in verzion ff 24, since then Im facing this problem as I mentioned in a question.

    Hello

    Please open Firefox in Mode safe mode and see if the problem persists. You can start Firefox in Mode safe directly by holding down the SHIFT key when you open Firefox.

    Click on the button "start mode safe." NOT the button "Reset".

    The problems of Firefox in Mode safe

    If the problem does not occur in Mode without failure, then exit safe mode, and then continue by following the instructions to identify the control or the module that is causing the problem. I would like to start by disabling hardware acceleration to see if this is the cause.

    If the problem does not occur in Mode safe then I suggest to do a Reset of Firefox. This will return Firefox to its default settings. You personal information will be saved (bookmarks, etc.), but you will need to reinstall your add-ons.
