Hey,
I'm working with Flash CC and every so often after copying a lot of assets from one fla to another, I'll notice a whole bunch of graphics have gone missing.
That is, the movieclip in the library that previously contained a Shape or Drawing Object still exists, but it contains precisly 1 blank keyframe on 1 layer - all graphics "deleted".
I suspect this is a bug in Flash CC, is anyone from Adobe able to comment?
It happens only rarely and randomly, but I've fortunately managed to re-create the situation with a fairly simplified .fla
So in a source .fla I've got a button with a single simple movieclip in it used as a background. This movieclip contains some graphics in it (in my test case this is nothing more than a rounded white square).
I copy that button from the source into a destination .fla (full of other movieclips and junk at random) - it also contains a movieclip with the same name as the source .fla.
Normally I'd expect to see a dialog saying "would you like to replace assets" with the usual options, refering to the buttons background movieclip , but on this occasion something goes wrong and I get no dialog.
Flash continues to copy the button across perfectly happily, but the background movieclip comes across blank, no sign of the white rounded square, no error messages or warnings, just all graphics gone (eek!).
I wonder if it's because another movieclip, with the same name, exists in the destination, but in a different folder location? Or whether Flash has kept a reference to the source file it was originally copied from? (I can't see anything obvious).
The major problem is we don't know when this might occur or how, and to date it's only been noticed post release of a product once (we've caught the others before our client has noticed!).
Anyone else experienced similar symptoms?
I'm using Flash CC 13.1.0.226 (I've run out of hdd space to try 2014!).
