I've got a looping slideshow. I'd like to place a sliding menu at the bottom of the screen. The problem is I've created the slideshow dynamically, and the images being loaded all inherit a depth greater than 0.
how I can place the sliding menu at the very top of the presentation when it's already on the stage?
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?
I am trying to change the depth of MCs that are already positioned on the stage. However, there doesn't seem to be a property such as _depth. So can I even change the depth of an MC during the game and if so how would I do it?

View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip that is executing some code. When this code is complete, I want it to change a variable that is defined on the stage (root?). I know how to get the condition part of it, but quite literally: what do I put to change a variable located on the stage from within a movie clip?
View 1 RepliesI'm new to actionscript 3 but I do have a little actionscript 2, but, what I want to do is change the colour of a movie clip or the stage using local time. From what I could gather you can't change the stage colour but you can change the colour of a movie clip.[code]...

View 4 RepliesI'm creating this shooter game. I attached a crosshair mc at the beginning with the depth set to getNextHighestDepth.However I keep adding the monsters mc dynamically when the game progresses, also with getNextHighestDepth. So the monster mc will keep overriding the depth of my crosshair's depth. how to get my crosshair mc's depth always to be on top of everything including the monster mc.I tried getNextHighestDepth()+1000 for my crosshair mc. But it was dumb because the monsters keep getting getNextHighestDepth as well. I assume that monster's depth would be 1001, 1002 and so on...

View 5 RepliesI'm re-arranging how I have the movie set up (I used to have it in multiple .SWF's, but now I'm making it into one big movie), but I've ran into a snag. I don't know how to assign a movie clip a depth. The reason this is a problem is that if I were to attach a movieclip (Say Movie1), it would overlap another movieclip's (Movie2) drop shadow.Movie2 isn't assigned a depth because it's loaded along with the first movie, but Movie1 is assigned a depth when it's loaded on a click

View 3 Repliesi need to create a border in my movie. i've used two buttons for two different types of borders and a NumericStepper to specify the thickness.i createEmptyMovieClip an mc and then i use moveTo and lineTo to draw the rectangular border inside it.now, every time the new thickness is specified, a new border should appear and replace the older one. so how do i do this??
i tried using a constant depth value which solved this problem.
i have a movieclip already on stage, placed manually by me.i dont want it to get overlapped by the border and so i used swapDepths for it. but if i use a constant depth, every alternate swapDepths puts this movie clip behind the border.so, first time the border's behind. now i change thickness and again apply border, the border is over my movieclip.how do i solve this so that the borders replace themselves and the mc on stage remains on top??

I have a looping movie clip and want it to speed up when the mouse rolls over one of the ends. Is there and action script that will do this? Or a different way to get it done?

View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip to display a clock and a datagrid for showing my schedule. I want my flash to alarm with sound when the time from the clock match one time on the schedule. Here is my actionscript:
Code:
clock_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.timer[i]==_root.clock_mc.clock_txt.text.substr(0,5)) {
alertSound = new Sound(alertSoundMc);

As you can see, I use onEnterFrame to listen and check matching between time on clock and schedule but it will check all the time and when it alarmed it produced sound all the time while the time is matched. I would like my flash to alarm only one or few times.
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:

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:

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 want when user rollover on any movieclip it comes on top after rollout it goes it's original position but, this code is showing error.ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
