I can't find a way to control object overlaping. In example: Object1 colided with Object2 -> If Objext1y > Object2y then Object2 should go to back, I mean Object1 has to overlap it. Is there a special action for control of object to be showed in front of other object?
View 2 RepliesI have this small project HERE. Right now it barely does anything but make the character move.
I move the character by using <s:Move>. Now as you can see on the link to my project page, it moves to where you point the mouse and click. I want to be able to stop the character from moving if it hits another object or in this case, the "tree". Is there a script in AS3 that will let me detect collisions or controls that are overlapping each other?
I have a movie clip with hit zones over buttons. It looks like a cam corder and when you roll over them a thumb moves to that button and when you click. The thumb presses on the button. That all works great. I want to put buttons in the main scene over top of these that will change things on the screen when you click it. And get urls of the videos that I have on my website. But when I put the hitzones over other hitzones the ones in back dont work. Is there a way to make them both work or am I going to have to make everything contained in the movie clip? So in short can I have two buttons on top of each other that do two different things?
View 8 RepliesI have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.
View 7 RepliesOriginally, the client wanted to control "hero_mc" using the keyboard but now they would like to control him with buttons only. Here is the original code on the "hero_mc" which works as expected:

I have got two movieclips on the main timeline. First one is envelope_mc and second is bg_main. In envelope_mc timeline there is a button on 25th frame which plays ahead when clicked.
stop();
on_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playAhead);
function playAhead(event:MouseEvent):void
{
play();
}
I have also got some animation on bg_main which I wan't to trigger on 30th frame (inside bg_main timeline) when button is clicked in envelope_mc timeline.
I have 2 movieclips on the main timeline of my movie; One (mc) contains an animation, the other (bt2) contains a button (bt) with code. I want it so when the button (bt) is clicked, it causes the animation (mc) on the main timeline to play.
The button's code is contained inside bt2.
So far I've tried the following things...
Code:
bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{bt2(root).mc.play();}
[Code].....
... along with several other things. Nothing is working at all, and I spent all last night looking for a solution with none in sight.
I've a basic portfolio page with 5 links. The idea being that 4 stay small and the active page is a larger font. When one link is clicked, itself and whatever font is currently large both swoop down and then the large text is replaced by whatever section the user chose.
I haven't keyframed anything, it's all done with actionscript and here it is. I made one of the links show what the var is currently set to in a dynamic text box. That all seems right. But whenever the 'currentchoice' mc is asked the swoop down, it just disappears rather than animates out. Here's the actionscript.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var currentchoice:Object = new Object();
currentchoice.selection = large_anne;

I am very rusty on my actionscript but here is my issue.I am declaring a variable:var activeTab = "none";the using the varible in a function the variable is working and holding the name of the movie clip that was clicked:
function moveTabs(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (activeTab == "none"){
activeTab = event.target.name;

View 2 RepliesI have a nested movieclip that I need to control.I have searched the net and to this point I have been able to make it gotoAndStop at frame 1 and play().I can't make it stop.I understand that actionscript can be attached to the movieclip instance or placed on the root timeline.what I would like is direction to websites and or tutorials that might teach me how to control a nested movieclip.

View 1 RepliesI've created some animated buttons (using movieclips of keyframe animation) and when the mouse goes over the button it starts a new animation sequence.now I would like to add some text when the mouse goes over the button but I tried adding the text I want to a new layer of the animation but obviously this just plays for the duration of the animation sequence or if I add another keyframe so it only shows for a short time then it will flash up each time the sequence loops around (I don't want the overstate sequence just to play once - I want it to keep going while the mouse is over the button)

Or is there a way to control the volume of the entire swf?
In Flash/ActionScript2, is it possible to capture the mousemove, buttonup and down event but only within one MovieClip? At present, i can capture mousemove etc. via a listener, but only for the entire stage..I need to draw a rectangle for selecten, and then press a save button. The problem is i save the coordinates on mousedown and up, but when I press on the save button, it saves the coordinates of when you pressed on the save button...I've tried mc.onXY, but that either listened not at all or to the entire stage...
Edit: Code as requested
mc.onMouseDown
should be
mcImageToCrop.onMouseDown
I did change it back to mc when mcImageToCrop didn't work...

It appears that the function downListener is unable to see the class scoped variable xvel though I do not iunderstand why.
I'm doing a simple game. When two objects collide, a function is activated with a movie clip of an animated explosion. I wonder how to do to control this animation so it's played two times? Just a simple for loop?Then another thing, how to create a short delay so that the code don't jump away direct without showing the explosion when there is code like gotoAndStop in the end of the function? Perhaps I also whant a tweeing rotation of the explosion movie clip before leaving the function? In some way it seem like it would be necessary with some delay?
View 0 Repliesi have lots of movieclips in different frames and i must control them to go frame 2. i can't use

I have a moive clip on _root and another movieclip within several other movieclips. I want the moiveclilp that is in several other movieclips to be able to stop the movieclip on _root on a release trigger.
I basically just want to know the proper AS for using one movieclip as a button that stops or plays another movieclip.
here is the AS i am having trouble with
[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
_root.this.nextFrame();
[code]....
I want to make it so when i roll over my movie clip (that i attach this AS to), a different movieclip is controlled. This AS
[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
[code]....
Works great, when using 'this' for the prev and next frame control but i cant figuire out how to control a different movieclip on root.
Does anyone know how to control the brightness of a movieclip through action script. I can't seem to find the syntax for that property (if there is such a thing).

ok setup got 4 layers: Action, tween1, tween2, tween3.
tween1 one has 1 frame with a movieclip (mc1)
tween2/3 has 1 frame with mc2/3.
the movieclips(symbols) are named mc1, mc2, mc3. first frame in
respectively clip is called mc1, mc2, mc3.

I've got an fla with over two thousand movieclips in one frame. Each movieclip does not have an instance name. way to control each movieclip individually? For example, rotating all movieclips 45 degrees?
View 4 RepliesI'm pretty sure this is doable, but I'm not entirely sure how to set it up. Basically, I would like a specific movieclip to play when I am online and another to play when I am offline (kind of like a "hello, I'm viewing this site and am online" type thing, so others know I am at my computer).
View 1 RepliesOK, so im trying to make a seemingly simple as3 project where I instantiate a movieclip from the library, and then move it using keyboard controls.
