View 4 RepliesI have a cascading/collapse flash menu.There are about 7 layers, each one of them a different page that slides and covers the other layers.for some reason, all the buttons on the bottom layer (layer 1 for instance) can be clicked on even when the 6 other layers are ontop of it with their own links and buttons. How can I make it so all my buttons don't shine through all the other layers. I can't slide the layer away to get ride of the buttons because it is still partially viewed when the other layers are ontop of it. I can't figure out why the buttons in layer one can be clicked in layer 2 when its on top of layer 1, or layer 3,4,5,6,7 when they are on top of layer 1-i assumed these layers would block out the buttons and links in the first layer(which is on the way bottom)
View 2 RepliesMy main scene in only on 2 frames. On the second layers I have some buttons that activate my movie clips (on the third layer)... These buttons can be pressed 'randomly' and after the muvie clips are played my buttons (one by one) disappear to reveal what on the first layer. Here there's another button, but I want it to be active only after all my movie clips have been played. What kind of ActionScript should I use to tell flash to go to the second frame of my time line (where my button on the first layer is active) only after all the mcs have been played.
My file at the moment is in AS2... This should be a second part of a game. People who arrive at this stage should now which are the right buttons to press. If they press the right one a pop up opens and some buttons disappear to reveal the massage that's behind. When all the right buttons have been pressed I need to play the frame 'end' on my timeline... The attached fla is an example of mine animation the right buttons are the red ones.

I am trying to create a Flash website that with multiple pages. Each page has input text areas to collect a number of something. I would like to do the following :
Have multiple pages that keep the user's input data as they navigate back and forth between pages Allow the user to hit a simple "calculate" button to take the kept information on each page and show the end calculation of the entered data on each page on the main stage or page.
I would assume that to keep input information intact, the pages would all have to reside in FRAME 1 where the actionscript is kept and the main guts of the calculations occur. So, is there a way to make a multi-page website in Frame 1 only using only multiple layers where the page buttons simply only go to another layer rather than page. Or, can I create a multi-page website over many frames, keep the user entered data intact while navigating to each page and propigate/calculate that data when the user hits the "calculate" button on the main page?
Using Flash CS3 and AS3 to build a learning module that will load different layers of SWF files based on buttons on the main screen. Got this working with no problems. What I want to do is add buttons to provide learners some functionality, specifically a forward button, back button and a check box that will keep advancing automatically. I've done massive searches and so far nothing seems to work. Seems like what I am acccessing so far is the main layer, not the new layers as they are loaded. Below is what I have been trying with the back button; the foward button uses nextFrame and is Handler2. It isn't working. Not even sure how to start with the checkbox for auto advance.

I have created a button which contains a movie for each county, when a user rolls over it pops out and displays a list of names. The problem I have is each button is on a layer and when you roll over the bottom button it's hidden below the others. Is there a script to bring each layer to the front automatically? I'm new to flash so if possible could you please explain in layman's terms.
View 6 RepliesI'm using a really simple bit of code on some fading in/out buttons which overlap each other slightly to ensure that the one with the cursor resting over it sits in front of the others:[code]problem being that this brings the button in front of everything across all layers. How do I change my swapdepths to make sure the layers above the buttons STAY above? - or do I need to add something to the other layers to give them a fixed 'depth'?
View 11 Repliesi'm trying to make a website in a number of buttons and layers. In one section i need to have an if statement on the buttons as where in the timeline they go is dependant on where the user is (this location is set in a variable called "destination".
The problem is that when i have = in the if statement it bypasses the first section and only does the else action (ie trace ("else")), and if i put == in the statement it only does the first action (ie trace ("gallery")) no matter what "destination" is.
here is my code:
on (release){
if (destination = "gallery"){
trace ("gallery");
}else{

I'm trying to do a presentation of some Adobe Illustrator graphics in flash for an architectual presentation. I want to zoom in on some content and have new layers fade in and out. I guess this is done by tweens, as I had som succes in that direction.The problem becomes obvious when I want to control my presentation. I want to set cue points/keyframes/whatever so that the presentation will start at the click of a 'next button' or a click og the mouse. Then I want it to stop at some point when the tween/moving around of objects is done, so that I have talking time before playing the next tween with a click etc.
View 3 RepliesI want to create multiple layers where each layer has some graphics and buttons on it. I am using Flex so I like to do this using actionscript.
Does anybody know how to create a layer in actionscript?
How do you attach these layers to your stage?
-this is supposed to make multiple buttons with text(not clickable yet) -it seems to coppy over, or remove the previous myButtons[i] movieclip each time it goes through the loop. -there are 3 strings in buttonText.length -on the output i get 0,1,2 -but on the screen I only see one gradient (its only a pink box, but one problem at a time) -the box appears where roughly the 3rd button should be. -full code attached
View 14 Repliesthe snow effect always acts like the top layer, ok what i mean is, i have 3 layers, (1)toplayer= a car, (2)middle= snow, (3)low= background.I want to make the snow to be seen behind the car...i hope you understand what i mean , whenever i put the code from the link above it acts as the top layer and appears in front of everything.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to add layers, re-order layers, move movieclips from layer to layer or specify which layer a duplicate movieclip appears on at runtime with AS3?I am aware of the depth properties and the functions associated with that but it would be easier to have a concept of a layer because I am dealing with masks.I have a nasty feeling I'm gonna be told that layers don't really exist within an swf and that depths and setmask are all there is to work with.
View 4 RepliesWhenever I add a new layer, it seems to be linked to my 1st layer.If I delete something on the stage on the new layer, it's also deleted from the 1st layer. If I try locking the 1st layer, anything on the new layer-although not locked itself -can't be selected.
View 2 RepliesI've made my site with photoshop and all images are in *.*png, saved with transparency and in the same resolution 1000x750. I exported them into my working file in Flash. No problems here.I've started to put each of the images in separate layers and in stacking order I wish, still no problems.Now, I am about in 20th layers I am inserting the image, again in separate layer and what happened? The layer will cover over the layer which is almost at the bottom. Meaning...only the trasparency which is very strange.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to make an animation in which different layers (=images) come into the stage, then stay in place and other layers move in and stay as well. I have done 2 of the layers so far, converted them into movie clips, tweened them etc. When I run the cursor along the timeline, I see the desired result on the stage, ie everything comes in at the right time and stays in place. However, when I export it to view the film, only the first layer comes in, moves into place and stays there, and then nothing happens, ie the second layer never comes in.
I've tried everything I can think of, moving the layers around etc, and have deleted and redone the whole thing many times in an attempt to fix this, but I simply don't know what is wrong.
I need to covert multple layers with multiple frames in one scene into a movie clip. I then need to dump this movie clip into another scene. I need to do this many, many times. What is the easiest, fastest way?
View 1 RepliesI'm animating a brick path forming brick by brick.I used a single brick symbol and repeated it over and over until it formed a path.The file was a lot larger than I expected it to be since I used really only one brick. Does the fact that I have a slew of layers explain why my file is on the heavier side?Would the file be smaller if I used a single image of a complete brick path and animated a mask to reveal one brick at a time?

View 3 RepliesI have created a layer in Adobe Golive CS2 and inserted a SWF file to play on the webpage. There is also text boxes that are either display always or transition in on a time event. When I preview in the web browser the swf file shows but nothing else does. I have tried to arrange the layers by assigning a number to the "Z" index for the layers that contain the text but it does not work. How do I arrange the layer that contains the SWF file so it is in the back and the other layers are visible??
View 1 RepliesMy testing on the Mac side is pointing toward the Behaviors palette as to the culprit in this issue. As soon as I open that palette in my workspace, the ability to double click on a layer name in the Timeline palette stops. I have to right click and select Properties from the popup menu. Resetting my custom workspace does resolve the problem.

I have just entered Falsh and for some strange reason none of my layers are named. Not only that, when I draw a circle for instance and I want to move that circle. I have to move the line and the fill seperate... I think this has something to do with the layers not being named. I will be posting a print screen. Click the link. [URL]

View 2 RepliesCurrently the buttons are on layers ABOVE the mask layer. I've tried just moving them to be under it and on top of the background and they still don't scroll with it. I tried them being ontop of the actual background in the background layer but they still don't scroll.
I've tried tweaking the code (which I will paste below) to add the buttons in and somehow make them scroll too but I know nothing about ActionScript. I can read it and understand it but as far as writing it myself, I'm totally lost.
ActionScript Code:
// Keeps animation from playing automatically
stop();
// Scrollbar code

Is there any way to refer to a certain layers x value, or visibility, or any of those? And if not, what is usually done to preform an action on a whole layer? Should I just make a new symbol out it?
