Error : Invalid Classname

[brandonjones]

I have been working with Openspace for several months now and have a good grasp of the program.
Today, however, I went in to look at my map and several skins were not visible.
When I go into the skin editor and look in the Classname drop down, the skin I am looking for is there in the list.

When I click on it, it does not appear as it normally would, and when I press UPDATE SKIN, it delivers a string of red text saying "Invalid Classname."

I have since gone back in Flash and made several changes, making sure everything is consistent, and regardless, it will not appear. Any thoughts?

Can you please send your skins FLA file, so we can check it?
Thank you.

Bax,

Thanks for your quick reply, I have attached the file to info{at}gotoandplay.it

We checked the file you sent, by exporting the swf and creating a new project in the OpenSpace Editor: everything worked fine and all the skins appeared in the skin editor (we used the auto-generate skin feature, but also creating them manually works).
Maybe your osp file got corrupted? Can you please send it together with the skin/background files if makes use of?

Bax,

Thanks again, I have attached the other files. Sorry for taking so long, have been working on other projects simultaneously.

Bax,

I resent you the info, all 3 files ( 2 FLA and 1 OSP ).

We checked the files you sent and... we have no idea why this happens! In fact if we create a new project and generate those skins, everything works fine. Anyway we were able to find a workaround: in Flash, edit the movieclips of those broken skins and break their contents apart (CTRL-B, or CMD-B on a Mac). Maybe you have to do this multiple times: we suggest you to make some tests.
You should be then able to see those skins in the OS Editor again.

Bax,

My sincere thanks to your team for figuring out this work around. It seems perhaps the number of groups nested within each other might be a problem, or perhaps because I was using a mask.

Thanks again.
