I have some text placed on the 'canvas' in Flash. I also draw some stuff in an onEnterFrame function on the main timeline. The stuff I draw in the onEnterFrame gets placed behind the text I have on the canvas. I'd really like to have the stuff I draw in front, but I don't know how to accomplish this.

I have created a CoverFlow Carousel and would like to put a gradual fading (black to white) background directly behind it. In other words the background should be visible behind each of the images in the carousel. I have tried creating a new layer and inserting a rectangle with a gradual fill on it and have made sure this layer is positioned underneath the layer where my carousel is on but when I play the flash clip my background appears over the carousel. I also tried creating a container around the carousel but I don't quite know how that works. I attached my main class, the coverflow class and the container class which I tried to create but which doesn't seem to do anything.

I found this post: http:[url]..........This is exactly what I wanted but I'm new to flash and maybe need more guidance as to where to put those codes. Are there any other codes that I have to put in the HTML for that effect?
View 10 RepliesIf i draw a movieclip on a frame (root) as such:[code]This will draw a simple square from position 20,20 on root. Now if i trace penName_mc._x i would expect it to give me the distance from the root origin i.e. 20 however it always produces 0. My questions are:
1- Why doesnt it consider x as 20?
2- Is there no way to determine the x of this newly created movieclip from the origin? (besides drawing from 0,0)

I am looking to turn each shape (which would be a booth) into a button...so that I can click each booth and have some info come up about it.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a program that lets the user draw shapes on the screen with the mouse. When they're done they press a button to finish. The user is only allowed to draw on a certain area of the stage, to control this on the timeline i have a movie clip that takes up all the space the user isnt alowed to draw in.When the user presses the button i want the programe to check that the shape the user drew isnt touching the moiveclip. I want it to do this without taking the border of the movieclip into account so i cant use hitTestObject()
heres what i have so far:
//------------------------------DRAW SHAPE------------------------------
private var shape:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I implemented a bitmap overlay (just what I call it) using this code:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
var bmpd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(2, 2, true, 0);
bmpd.setPixel32(0, 1, 0xff000000);
bmpd.setPixel32(1, 0, 0xff000000);
[code]....
This, as you can see if you place it in a keyframe and test a movie, produces a pixel effect that spans the stage width and height. I have an image underneath this (in a movieclip) which is fine. But I also have a piece of text (also in a movieclip), which is hard to read with the overlay over it. I need a way to order the movieclip with the text placed in it over the top of the bitmap overlay shown above via AS3 I should imagine.
I have created a image gallery. There's a image scroller, when clicking an image it show large image on the same layer. I insert the image to this layer like this: addImage("image url", x, y, this). addImage is my own function witch works fine. In the begin of code I create movieclip (var controls:MovieClip;). When I'm inserting images to that, I want to bring the movieclip to front. Because that large image is added after the controls, it will be on the top.

I'm having reel trouble trying to bring a movieclip to the front using setChildIndex. I have 3 movieclips that are being loaded into a movieclip that sits on the stage. I'm using:
[Code]...
i added three MovieClips(say, b1, b2, b3) into two different containers (say, a1, a2, a3) respectively using startDrag(), stopDrag(), hitTestObject() and addChild().I want to add them into one another. ike say :- b1 in a2 or a3b2 in a1 or a3 or vise versa.Now my problem is that, when i again start dragging a movieclip b1 in a1 to add it in other container a2 or a3, the movieClip is behind the other two containers. So i cant detect hitTest() on other containers.ut when i drag movieClip b3 on containers a1 or a2, it is on the front of them and hitTest() can be detected.
My code :
[AS]
var A:Array=[a1, a2, a3];// container

View 1 RepliesI have a game set up like so:
DOCUMENT CLASS -->
MASTER LEVEL -->
LEVEL OBJECTS
The MASTER LEVEL is a child of the DOCUMENT CLASS and the LEVEL OBJECTS are a child of the MASTER LEVEL
The MASTER LEVEL is just a border which also shows the time that has passed. The LEVEL OBJECT are stuff like the player and the finish.
The problem is that I can make the player and finish swap depths using setChildIndex but I don't know how to bring the master level in front of its children? Is this even possible or will I have to make a level container that is the parent of the LEVEL OBJECTS and also the MASTER LEVEL. So that the MASTER LEVEL, the finish and the player are all siblings (sort of).
So I am trying to bring a movieClip in front of its movieClip children.
Is there someway that you can arrange movieclips in as3? Like when you right click on it and you can arrange "Send to back", "Send to front". For example I've exported 2 Mc:s to as3 and made a new instance in as3 by referring to the class I exported. So is there someway I can decide which one to put infront of the other one? If it's confusing my goal is to at some point bring one of the Mc:s to the front, and on another point bring the other MC so the front.
View 1 Replieswhat the line of code would be-- where having made several buttons, on rollover, scales their respective image. However, on scaling, these images are arranged according to their layers and would therefore be obscured by text or an adjacent image.How could I make it so that everytime I rollover the hotspot, the image will scale and automatically arrange itself to the front of everything? Is there anything to do with its depth and setting its properties?

View 2 RepliesI have the following package[code]...
1. The class instantiates and adds a number as text on top of the image that I created the MovieClip class from
2. As the main class of the fla rotates images it calls the loadItem() function of each corresponding button.
3. That function starts the timer and, on each tick of the timer, the background image changes.
What is happening right now with this code is that the new image (that I want to be the background image behind the text) is coming in on top of the text.
Is there a way to simply replace the image currently loaded into the MovieClip.
