collapsed object?

[ASD]

A Japanese user has encountered weird problem of active object (He reported to me).
One of the active object named "collapsed object" seems collapsed at Frame 3 in the following attached mfa file.

In picture editor of this object obviously different from the default pallete.
And MMF2 will crash when push the clear button.

In event editor click the icon of "collapsed object" then delete the number 12 line event. then MMF2 will crash whenever then save the mfa and move to other editor (e.g. frame editor).

Note: He registered user name used Japanese characters.





Note: Attached file made with Unicode version.

I think we have already seen this issue sometimes, but I don't know how the object has been corrupted. Does he remember the last things he did with this object or its events?

[ASD]

Do you think this problem related with registered name (He used Japanese characters)?
I'll ask him.

[ASD]

He said I copied this object to previous frame, and deleted the copied object.
Not sure other things.

Perhaps the image data will be collapse if copy and paste, undo (restore the deleted object) used many times?

Thanks for the info, I'll check it.

Having the same problem >_<

What's REALLY STRANGE about this, is that I'm using the Android exporter, and I built an APK from my MFA file at 6:20pm yesterday that does not have this issue. BUT my save file, which I saved at 5:20pm, IS having this problem O_o
So:
5:20pm my MFA was saved, no issues.
6:20pm I built an APK file with no issues.
1:04am that night I saved a new version of this MFA (I keep lots of backups)
This morning, I opened both the 5:20pm and 1:20am files and they both have this issue!

How can this be if an APK file was built with no issues between these two saves??

I'm afraid to open any of my other files just in case MMF2 is corrupting them somehow ._.

PM me if you would like the MFA files and/or the APKs

Edit: I have restored my objects from a previous backup. The Active Objects (I think around 8 were corrupted) were all copied and pasted from other frames, or cloned from other Active Objects and modified. So yes, it seems the corruption has something to do with copying and pasting Active Objects.

This is very troubling, I hope we can get it sorted out!

When you say "5:20pm my MFA was saved, no issues", that means there was no issue when you saved it, but if the issue is in the Save routine, then actually it could have been corrupted without you to know it. This is probably what happened.

Okay sure, that's possible.

Hi,
Today the object corruption problem reproduced again!
However, I remembered what I did to until corruption, and recorded the video.

Explanation video:

Please fix it!

it looks like it's a memory issue.

copying an object from frame - i would recreate the object.

actually when that start to happen you should start a clean file and move your stuff slowly.

Don't try to work with corrupted files you are only going to end up with more problems.
