================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Liquid Motion for Windows 1.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you preview your animation in the browser, only the first image, shape, or sound that you inserted plays in the scene. When you play the animation in Liquid Motion, both actors play as expected.

= CAUSE =

This behavior occurs when both actors have the same file name, even though the source location for each actor may be different. When Liquid Motion plays the animation, each actor is in a different location on your hard disk. When you publish the animation, the two files are copied into the same folder. Because the files have the same name, only the first actor will be played in the browser.

= RESOLUTION =

To play both actors in a Web browser, follow these steps.

NOTE: Because there are several versions of Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, please consult your product documentation to complete these steps.


 * 1) Open your animation in Liquid Motion.
 * 2) Select the actor that does not appear in the browser.
 * 3) On the Edit menu, click Delete.
 * 4) On the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, and click Windows Explorer.
 * 5) Right-click the animation file and click Rename. Type a unique name for the file and press ENTER.
 * 6) Switch to Liquid Motion and insert the actor you renamed in step 5.
 * 7) On the File menu, click Publish.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
