ActionScript 2.0 :: Control The Depth Of Buttons?
Nov 1, 2005
i'm trying to control the depth of some buttons which are all pretty close, and on mouse over, each buttons gets bigger (150% more or less), the problem comes when i want to control the depth in order to place the rollovered button above it's neighbours.... guess it could be done by actionscript...here is a link i found that explains how to do that, i'm quite beginner in flash and it is too much level for me, eventhought i've reatten it carefully.

does that make sense at all? here's what i'm trying to do, the code is below. i'm building a touchscreen interface for a tradeshow, which mainly is a slideshow, with three buttons, one of which, when clicked, needs to load the company's webpage. i need to keep the webpage "inside" my environment and keep the navigation buttons on screen, so the user can touch the other two buttons for the rest of the content. so far, i've got an image on the stage, then call a button with addchild. i've got that loading a movieclip via addchild, also, which then calls the url, then i lose my nav button. is it possible to somehow load a url, and control it's depth index? or, accomplish the desired result in a different way?
var button_1:btn1 = new btn1();
button_1.x = 196;
button_1.y = 860;

i'm desperately trying to set my border container the highest z-index so it will always appear on top.
how can I know how many objects are in my flex stage, so i'll be able to set the bordercontainer the highest depth? what shell i write in the depth property in order the border container would always be on top? (it's important to mention that i created dynamic objects)
<s:BorderContainer includeIn="state2" width="200" height="200" backgroundColor="#992F2F"
horizontalCenter="-61" verticalCenter="23" depth.state2=currentState.num>
</s:BorderContainer>

I would like to place a video object above one movieClip instance ("mc"), but below another movieClip instance ("mc_top").
I instantiated the _root.flashVid object by dragging a "New Video..." from the Library to the stage, and giving it the instance name "flashVid".
I create mc, then paint a blue box, then I create mc_top, and paint a yellow box. The flashVid instance is on the Stage (_root) from the beginning. Now how do I get the flashVid above "mc" but below "mc_top"?
// Create movieclips and paint boxes.
var mc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("test",
_root.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.beginFill(0x0000ff, 50);

I have tried repeatedly to take the examples in setChildIndex and instead of using sprites I want to control the order of 2 buttons on the stage so that when I roll over one of the buttons it comes to the top.
Here is the code I have so far which is from the example given in the on-line documentation:

I'm not sure how I would bring my buttons to the highest depth. I just finished the Kirupa slideshow, but the only prob is that the pics keep hiding my buttons.

I am creating a game where the user can control the character either by left or right keyboard buttons or by clicking on a left of right movielcip buttons. Currently, I can control the character using the keyboard but I cannot figure out how to add the MC button control. Here is my current code attached to the character_mc:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.background_mc._x<=-3620) {
_root.background_mc._x = -3620;
[Code].....
Can I add another listener for either movieclip button (left_btn_mc, right_btn_mc) to the above code, or do I need to add the code to the each movieclip button?

I have a dynamic txt frame in my main swf.When buttons are selected,text from an external txt file loads into the text frame.This all works fine.What I would like to do is be able to load an external swf into an empty MC and then be able to dictate what the buttons on the external swf do (such as load text).The last line of the below AS is my attempt to path to a button that is on an external swf
//_root.1.noiseaudio.easing.theText.sad.onPress = function () {
loadTxt(path+"sad")
}//
but that didn't work.start here. This is on a frame on the _root swf.
System.useCodepage = true
path = "text/";
loadTxt=function(path){[code]...........

The AS3 script below is a cross-fade that is time-based with no user control. How do I keep the cross fade and control it with the "before" and "after" buttons? And with the API opening in its "before" state? And for users to be able to click and/or hover between the two. The link to what I'm trying to set up is:
http:[url].....The code is:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I need 6 buttons to control the same array. it's a list of 12 things.
Button1 loads the first image in the array
Button2 loads to the next image in the array
Button3 loads to the previous image in the array
Button4 loads the 1st image in the array (yes two buttons to do the same thing but it's necessary)
Button5 loads the 4th image in the array
Button6 loads the 7th image in the array
Button7 loads the 9th image in the array.
on top of that if no button is pressed the next image in the array moves forward after 15 seconds.how to do this with a set of images. Eventually the Array will become an xml document which accesses images, and two text fields.

I'm aiming to create a website that works just like this one[url]...
I want similar features, ie; rotating and expanding text controlled by mouse events and drop downs.
I'm not concerned about the drop downs currently, but for all I can think of right now, I am trying to figure out the best way to complete this task, and the code (AS3) that would be needed.
I've come up with a few thoughts (forgive me as I'm only moderate at Flash- can code, remember most of it, understand it, but can't always come up with the solution off the top of my head)

I have a scene with a voice over. I have split the voice over in to multiple sound files (mp3). The voice over plays correctly as long as you don't use the btns. When the forward btn is used the the file goes to the correct frame in the timeline but won't play the sound. Next issue, after pausing then using play the scene plays but without sound.

I have tried to make simple buttons to control play, stop, paus and play again of a video.When that did not work I found the below instructions, and made movieclips for the buttons to use with the imported FLVPlayback (with none skin).In step 2 I choose play (for the first play-button/movieclip).In step 3, there is no video to choose in the box - only my own movieclips.In step 4 - what's the difference?In step 5 - there is no setting field...Control video playback using behaviorsSelect the movie clip to trigger the behavior.In the Behaviors panel (Window > Behaviors), click the Add (+) button, and select the desired behavior from the Embedded Video submenu.Select the video to control.Select a Relative or Absolute path.If required, select settings for the behavior parameters and click OK.In the Behaviors panel under Event, click On Release (the default event) and select a mouse event.

For some reason I can not get any Flash document to allow buttons to control movie clips. I might have a coding error or something is wrong with my system. I've got an interactive map with the counties of a state as buttons. The buttons control a movie clip that runs info on each county. I have some other variables and things going on and figured that might have something to do with it. So I just created a test file with 1 movie clip and 1 button.
The movie clip has a stop action on frame 1 and frame 5. It is just a box that is different colors per frame.I've tried several methods and I'm not getting a result from anything. This is an AS 2 file.Button has an instance name of btn and the movie clip is mc. There is only 1 frame in the main timeline.First method was adding the script to the button. This didn't work...
on (press) {
mc.GotoAndPlay(5);
}
Second Method, I placed the actions on frame one of the main timeline.
btn.OnPress = function() {
mc.GotoAndPlay(5);
}
That didn't work either. I even made a AS 3 file and used a Mouse Event, this didn't work either. I have older files that have the same code and do work, but no new files I create with work. I haven't been working in flash for about 2 years, so I might be missing something due to the rust in my brain.
Thoughts?
