ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip Depth, Changing On The Fly?
Feb 5, 2012Im trying to keep all my movieclips onto 1 layer/mother mc to speed up the flash display engine
I have these takable items(movieclips) that respawn after a while.
Initially i build the level starting with all the takable items before adding all the players/npc's. This way the player and npc's walk over the objects if they are not taken.
After an items respawns though, i have to re add them to the main mc and then they appear to be over the npc's and they seem to be moving under a carpet of stuff.
Its a nice 3d effect but totally unwanted in this scenario.
Is there a way to make sure that items are added as child before a certain clip (like the player). I tried using addchildat but this gives me a index error now and then. I dont really understand how the depths are worked out by flash.
I was thinking of storing the original depth of an item movieclip and then on restore, addchild at at its old depth. Or is there a more sensible way?
Also: can two movieclips occupy the same index/depth level? or are the incemented or something?
ActionScript 1/2 :: Replacing A Movieclip Without Changing It's Children/depth/tweens
Feb 5, 2010I would like to be able to draw a simple box as a background/placeholder, dress it up with buttons and movie clips at design time, and at runtime call a function to replace the simple box with a new design. How would I go about doing this? I have a graphic design that is too complicated to make with flash. So i made a piece of actionscript that can restyle any existing movieclip. This piece of code works. It basically gets the coordinates of the specified mc, creates a new one in it's place and deletes the original. Unfortunately this also removes any nested movieclips and buttons and breaks animation tweens of this mc. So if the original mc would have a button on it and animates from left to right, the new one doesn't.
mc.clear(); looked very promising, but it only clears stuff you put on it at runtime while I need to clear the stuff from design-time. (= the simple box drawing object)Creating a movieclip with the same name, at the same depth doesn't seem to work. oldbox.parent.createEmptyMovieClip(oldbox._name, oldbox.getDepth()); The old movieclip keeps existing and neither of them animates.So I'm searching for a way to replace a movieclip or clear it's content at runtime.

ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip Changing From Black To White On Rollover
Dec 4, 2009I have got one movieclip that is a square it is 20 x 20 the movieclip changes from black to white when you roll over it and remains white. The problem I have is that I need 3000 of them and putting them in a grid format so the user can create there own black and white mosaic. But when I do it only the newest square added to the stage changes colour i think i have gone down the wrong path and I've hit a dead end.
This is my code (Which im 90% is all wrong):
PHP Code:
stop();
var sqreArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = numChildren - 0;
i >= 3000; i++) {
var child:DisplayObject = getChildAt(i);

Dec 6, 2010Is there any way to bring a duplicate mc with a variable depth to the front on RollOver, and then return to it's original depth on RollOut?I am currently using swapDepths(1000).I can't have the exact depths swapped because there could be any number of duplicates on screen at any given time, so that won't work.The code I have works to a limit; when I mouse over the mc duplicate, it moves to the top just fine, but multiple other mc duplicates below it scramble depths (that is to say, they move up and down in depth at random).I want two thing to happen to only one mc at a time.
1) bring to front onRollOver and return to original position on RollOut
2) bring to front onRelease, and stay there in front.Here is what I have so far.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing An Items Depth On Screen?
Feb 10, 2009There's a long story behind How I made it here and why I am messing with AS3 in the first place but I'll try to explain it in a shorter version. My boss seems to think that I am the equivalent of Einstein with computers and will tell me what he wants and just expect me to be able to figure it out. So he told me he wanted a website that looked like the Mercedes Benz website and left it at that.I am working with Flash CS3 Professional Version 9.0, trying my best to figure out all the ins and outs of the program, since I am a first time user. I have finished almost everything with the site. I have it all animated and working pretty well, but there's one main problem. I have 25 buttons, sorted out by 5 rows and 5 columns. These button all have pictures of golf carts on them and when you click on the golf cart it opens to show all the products that we sell for that particular cart. The first button works just fine, but all the buttons after that will not stay on top when they are selected.
I can't seem to figure out exactly what I need to do. I hvae struggled with ideas that I may need to put them in a container and then adjust their depths, but I am not sure if this is right or if there is any easier fix. Here's the code that I have so far on that particular page,Quote:
//Product1 Button
Product1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverProd1);
Product1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutProd1);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Rollover Button With Nested Movieclip Is Interfering With Hit Area
Dec 11, 2009I have created a world map that has each region of the world as a rollover. When you rollover the US, for example, it turns red and a movieclip pops out to display some info...it's basically a graphic I created in Illustrator that is a rectangle with info written on it.
The rollover works fine and everything pops out, but when you move the cursor close to the popout, it thinks you have rolled off the US. When you hit the edge it pops in and out almost like it is blinking.
How can I make it so that they are one hit area? Here is some of the code:
na_mc.buttonMode=true;
setChildIndex(na_mc,0);
na_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);na_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);

1) Is there an alternative way of doing the below, to avoid so many listeners?
2) Can the below functions be merged into one?I've tried merging them into one using IF statements, for example:
if(event.target.name == line1)
{
line_output.text = "This is a test made by the MonkeyTest that has previously messed up
And testing a new line";
gotoAndStop(2);
}
However this does not work, and gives an error.
3) I had to get the background to display by moving to the next frame. I could not work out how to get the textbox to appear at a specific XY, or how to get the textbox to disappear after a rollover. Is there a better way to do this, or is what I'm doing acceptable? (NOTE: Textbox is a Movieclip)
