ActionScript 1/2 :: SwapDepth In A Playing Movieclip (no Buttons/clicking)?
Dec 5, 2009
What happens is I've used the the bus and car mcs to drive on both sides of the road in the animation (they will go across the screen then flip over and drive back within their respective mc).When they first cross over they are layered right but because of the timing of each animation, there is a point where both are going the same way on the same side of the road. At this point the bus pulls up higher (to the side of the road to pick people up) and the car passes it. The problem is when the car passes it is registered as being behind the bus (which would be hitting people).So i'm trying to get the car to swapDepths and come to the front Only when driving on one side of the road, so only at a certain frame reference essentially - not the entire mc.

I know, there is a tutorial about changing stacking order [URL], but the makers were so kind to use Mx files for the .fla's.
[Code]...
When I click one of the 4 buttons, the image related to that button has to move to the hightest position. And ofcourse the previous highest one should be the one under the new highest image. Well, I tried to fix the script, but for some reason it gets all confused and starts switching images, and sometimes none.

I've developed a resource with drag and drop movieclips within a presentation.There are a huge number of drag and drop clips, so I've added a bit of swapDepth code so that the chosen movieclip is always in view. The problem now is that when I go to the next page (which contains a different drag and drop activity), a movieclip from the previous page is duplicated. Is there any solution to this? I've tried an onenterframe unload for the next page, but obviously this deletes the MC permanently making it fairly useless.

I have a main file running at the bottom (HD video of myself), and several clickable options (for various stuff on my portfolio). To show my digital work, I have a button that takes me to a frame label on _root. and a frame action that tells it to open a movieclip into a containerMC. All this is working perfectly, but it might be needful background info.
This section of my digital portfolio is a mock up of a mac screen desktop (yes I use a mac) / and I want to show my work as "programs". I expect to have 5-10 programs, 2 for now in testing. With no open "programs" at start, but I want the possibility of multiple open "programs", and when you open a new one or click one that already open but in the back, it automatically comes to the foreground (and does not close the ones already open - just like the desktop actually works). Obviously the "programs" have to be draggable too.

What have I done wrong here? I need a movieClip to fade out, pause, then a new movieClip to fade in.
[Code]....
What I've tried to do is to set the target_MC alpha to 0 and fade out the current mc. Then when the fadeOut has completed to setTimeOut. After this the mcs will swapDepths and the target_MC should fade up to alpha = 0I've attached the flash and xml files. The images were too large.

I currently have random external swfs of "Buttons" loading and unloading into mc_containers into my main movie. These load and unload every couple of seconds.
What I would like to do is have sounds associated with these.. So if you was to click on one of the buttons, it would play a sound.
I have tried this by placing the sound in the button "down" section. However, it starts to play the audio and then as soon as the SWF unloads to load the next, the audio stops.
My question is: Is there a way that when you click on the external SWF loaded button - that it would then link to an audio file in the "main" timeline/library ? This way the audio would continue playing even though the SWF has unloaded.

This is a really stupid question and I was able to get it to work in AS2.0 but now I am trying to redo it in AS3.0.What I have are 4 menu buttons and what I want to do is when a button is clicked it will take the user to that page on the timeline.On the actions layer this is what I have:
stop();
btnAbout.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, stopHandler);
function stopHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {[code]....
When I add the code under stop(), and test the movie, it doesn't stop, it just keeps looping through all the pages. I am probably doing something really stupid that I can see. As I stated above, AS3.0 is VERY new to me. I have two books in front of me and neither are helping me with this issue.
NOTE: If I remove the code below the stop(), the movie stops when I test it.

Loading Images in _levels via loadClip. Now i want 2 buttons on TOP of the Images. So first tried attachMovie _level 200. Did't work (don't ask me why since all logic says it should. but I'm guessing a difference in loading between loadClip & loadMovie). Now made 2 swf files with just the buttons and load via loadClip. Works fine BUT... now I can click then. tried stuff like:
Code:
_level200.button_btn.onRelease,
_level200[button_btn].onRelease, _level200["button_btn"].onRelease, _root[_level200["button_btn"]].onRelease
You get the picture. Any solution to this?

lets say i have a bunch of buttons and all the code i need is in the onRelease functions and the exact effect i wanted would be clicking the buttons every 5 seconds.
Basically what i want to do is use those onRelease functions on the buttons, in the button order(button1, button2, etc.) every 5 seconds, without clicking though. Is there a way i can tell it to use the onRelease functions? How would i go about setting this up?
Everything works perfectly i just want it to "auto-click" or "auto-call the onRelease's" every 5 seconds. It would also be nice to be able to click the buttons at any given time too. So say the timer is on button4 and i click button2 and the timer starts from there.
Code:
myInterval = setInterval("button[i] onRelease function here", 5000);

What I want to do is:
Click on button one: Content1 fades to view
Click on a different button: Content1 fades to white, content2 fades to view.
I can make it so the content fades to view, but I don't know how to made it fade away and then have new content fade in when you click another button.

I am working on a menu that uses a number of these buttons: [URL]
The button works quite well, except that I would like the sub-menu to close up once the mouse clicks elsewhere on the screen. I have tried to find the Action Script for this but have been unsuccessful. What script can I use to cause the menu to close up when a user clicks outside of the button?
I've posted the fla file below.

I'm just getting into learning ActionScript, I'm using 2.0 for the time being. Anyways, I know how to get clicking buttons to control the sound, but mostly that has just been a matter of muting with the "stopallsounds" function. What I wanted to know is if it is possible to get the keyboard to set the volume at 20%. For example, when you him the "down" arrow key, it goes down to 20% volume automatically.

I have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. need to develop a set of x cordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc etc

I want to target multiple buttons and get different value by clicking different button.
Suppose there are 3 buttons: "button01", "button02, "button03".
This is my code:
var targetArr:Array = ["button01","button02","button03"];
for (var i:int = 0; i < targetArr.length; i++)
{
var target = getChildByName(targetArr[i]);
[Code]....
Instead of getting different value by clicking different button, I constantly get "3" as the value. I want: clicking "button01" will get "0" as the value, clicking "button02" will get "1" as the value, and clicking "button03" will get "2" as the value. How to do it?

I have an animation that I want the user to be able to move back and forth by clicking Next_btn or Back_btn buttons. Here's what I've done.
[Code]...
I can navigate through the movie correctly, until I navigate back to frame 1 ("start"). After this, when I click on the Next button, the movie goes to the last frame without stopping at "KMT2".

I've got a movie clip with masked-out areas. It's placed on top of various buttons.The idea is, the user rotates the top movie clip to reveal stationary buttons beneath it. Where there's a hole in the top movie clip, i'd like the user to be able to click the button revealed below.
It's looking like that's not possible. The buttons underneath cannot be activated, because the top movie clip is in the way, despite the transparency from the mask.
I'll begin thinking of a Plan B workaround, but first I wanted to ask if there's a way I'm not thinking of to do my Plan A.

I have a movieclip with moviclips in them. Lets class it...
mainMC = main movieclip
childMC = mcs inside the mainMC
The problem is that the mainMC is to be used as a button. If I click the part of the mainMC with a childMC, it doesn't work. I have to click a blank spot on the mainMC where no childMC exist in order for it to properly register.

I have 5 movieclips on the stage. I also have a color picker. I would like for the user to click on the movieclip they want to change the color of. The color picker will change the color of the movie clip that the user has selected. Another feature that would be nice would be if the selected movieclip was highlighted or something so the user knows which one is selected. Anyone know if this can be done.

I am using Adobe Flash CS5, Action Script 3.0, and I want to disable my "home" movieclip after it has been clicked, so it stays a certain color or design that can't be clicked anymore. I already created the _up, _over, _down, and _disabled in the "home" timeline, and I don't know what to do after that.... i tried home.enabled = false, but it's already disabled when I hover to it. These are my codes so far:
stop();
home.stop();
home.buttonMode = true;

If I have a MovieClip, simply a blue square with class AS file called blueBox, in the constructor of the blueBox.as file I have:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, sayHello);
Why does this not call the sayHello method when I click the movieclip on the stage? I know on the stage that I could grab the instance of my bluesquare movieclip and add an event listener to it that way, but I just wanted to 'encapsulate' in a bit more.
