ActionScript 2.0 :: Change Depth To A Negative Number?
Mar 25, 2010
I have a stack of 3 Mcs, 1, 2 and 3, one over the other, at the same layer.
I want to make an action, that makes the top level MCs, when clicked, to go under the other 2 MCs, and so on.
Is it possible? I tried to make it, but discovered that it's not possible to define negative depth for a MC.

Code:
function populateBasket(){
trace("B4 REMOVE:" + basketRows.loader.container.getDepth());

I'm working on a AS3 project where users will decide whether a random number is whole number or not.There are three boxes (box1, box2, box3), which will display random numbers. Under each box there are two check buttons (for example: bt1 and bt2).There are also two boxes counting correct and incorrect answers (correct1 and correct2). There is a button generating random numbers again (bt_2).The negative random numbers are not recognized by my conditional. Or I don't know how to handle conditional with negative numbers. Positive or negative numbers display the correct check mark? Here is my AS3
//counters
var i:uint=0; // correct answersvar u:uint=0; // incorrect answers
// making check mark invisibleco1.visible=false; // correctco2.visible=false; [code].....

f I trace new Date().toUTCString() I get something like: Fri Aug 12 07:14:06 2011 UTC.perfect. If I trace new Date().getTime() I get some long negative number which is decreasing as I continue to trace it. This is totally unexpected.

Is there a direct way how to turn a negative number to positive using bitwise operations in Actionscript 3? I just think I've read somewhere that it is possible and faster than using Math.abs() or multiplying by -1. Or am I wrong and it was a dream after day long learning about bytes and bitwise operations?
What I saw was that bitwise NOT almost does the trick:
// outputs: 449
trace( ~(-450) );
If anyone find this question and is interested - in 5 million iterations ~(x) + 1 is 50% faster than Math.abs(x).

I have been trying to change the depth of an object. I have only just started learning AS3, so I haven't looked into this yet.So far I have been using a trial-&-error method to try to get this piece of code to work which I found on a site, but I have not succeeded:
Code:
setChildIndex(example,numChildren-1);
I am putting this code in it's class, and I tried replacing the word example with 'this'. Can someone please help me? When I test the swf it comes up with this in output:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/setChildIndex()
at Foreground/enterFrame()

Im trying to change the depth or index of a movieclip when its click. And bring it to the top of everything. The problem is that the movie clip is not added by addChild, but nested in a frame.
so if i try and use any of these:
anyMC.parent.setChildIndex(anyMC, anyMC.parent.numChildren-1);
or public function bringMCToFront($mc:MovieClip){ $mc.parent.setChildIndex($mc, $mc.parent.numChildren-1);}
by it gives me this error: Error #1065: Variable setChildIndex is not defined.

I know when you assign an empty movieclip or a movieclip to the stage via actionscirpt you have to set a z depth on the layer.
Is it possible to change the depth of the movie clip? If so how?

Is there a way to change the depth (index number) of a movieClip when I click on it to drag. Example:Say I have three circles. Each circle has a MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN eventListener. When one is clicked It will bring it to the front so when I drag it will be above the two other circles.
