ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic ComboBox Is Giving Negative Depth To Attached MovieClip?
Jun 17, 2007
I've got this new problem where I'm trying to remove a container movieclip i've attached the first time the function is run, but I try to remove it and replace it again, but the second time around it gets a negative depth and all goes to hell.
Code:
function populateBasket(){
trace("B4 REMOVE:" + basketRows.loader.container.getDepth());
basketRows.loader.container.removeMovieClip();
[Code].....

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.

I got this frame i created and gave it a linkage name of : "myframe"
myframe has a picloader mc and a picmask mc..
I loop through attaching "myframe" at proper depths 12 times and once it is attached, i use loadmovie or loadclip to attach an image to myframe.picloader and enforce the mask onthe pic.
once I load the image, i do some tweening effects in AS but the width and height is no longer correct.
myframe is supposed to be 130 x 100 but now im getting 621 by 400.2.

Flash 8 - AS 2.0
Ok kiddies. I've been toying with AS and trig. and have a little wiggly worm that half-heartedly responds to the mouse just as I want. It's created by looping 30 times through a for loop and using attachmovie() like this.
for(i=0; i<30; i++){
attachMovie("mcCircle", "mcCircle" + i, i, {_x:mx[i], _y:my[i]});
}
As you can see for their depths I have used the increment of the for loop. So I have 30 clips with depths from 0 to 29. On the other hand, the graphics which have been statically placed on the stage have these depths.
instance7:-16352
mcThought:-16355
instance6:-16357
mcCode:-16360
[Code]....
What I need is to place the mcCircle clips underneath some of the objects on the stage. Imparticularly, the menu bar at the top of the stage and the logo at the bottom while staying on top of the background. I just want it to look like it's going behind these two graphics. I've tried a number of things and have ran out of ideas. By the way - the bottom of frame 27 of the actions layer has the code that is outputting the depths in the Output panel in Flash.

I have a Android Air application, where I import a png image to the stage on frame two and converted it to a symbol as a movieclip. I am performing a hovering animation using this image as a movieclip and it works great but when I go from frame 2, where the animation is, and I move to frame 3, 4, 5, or 6, and then I move back to frame 2, my application throws a errors when referencing the movieclip again. The error is 1009 cannot access null object reference. So to me it seems that once the timeline moves away from frame 2 it wipes away the reference to the imported image converted to a movieclip....is this correct? Is there a way I can keep the timeline referencing the this image as a movieclip so I can always come back to this frame?

I am making a game where I reference "Player_mc" quite a lot. I have a bunch of full characters (movieclips) in the library that work as the player when put on the stage and referenced as "Player_mc". I need a code that can reference those characters (movieclips) in the library, and move them onto the stage and name them "Player_mc". Also I need a way of removing an existing "Player_mc" so that another character can be referenced and brought onto the stage as "Player_mc". Here is what I have: if (this.P1Character==(Whatever that character's number is)){

I'm trying to place an instance of a movieclip (instance name: tehMovieClip) from the library within another movieclip (instance name: parentMovieClip) on the stage. tehMovieClip, the movieclip going inside another movieclip, belongs to a class called CollisonDetection (linkage properties, class:CollisonDetection, Base Class: flash.display.MovieClip). When I put tehMovieClip inside parentMovieClip, I get this runtime error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
If I just place tehMovieClip on the stage by itself, it works fine but I need it to be inside parentMovieClip.

ERROR 1046: Type was not found or was not compile-time constant:textline.
I have nested my animation into a movie clip and have tried to use a pre-loader on it. The nested movie clip opening screen as a button on and the second screen as back and forward buttons. The movie clip works fine no problem until adding it to the pre-loader. The code for the pre-loader is (below) on frame 1 frame 2 to is tells it to stop and also were my nested movie clip is
function loadProgress(my_content:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (my_content.bytesLoaded*100)/my_content.bytesTotal);
myLoadText.text = percent + "%";
} function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
currentFrame + 1;
} loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);

I am trying to reference a movieclip within a movieclip that I am loading using "attachmovie". In the first frame of the root, I am attaching the movie. Then, from the attached movie I am calling a function that is also in the first frame of the root. In the function I am tring to set the property of a clip within the attached movie to visible using the following code:
_root.logIn.loginMessage._visible = true;
I have also tried _root["logIn"].loginMessage._visible = true; with no luck.
(logIn is the name of the clip I am attaching using attachMovie and loginMessage is the clip I am trying to reference in the attached movie)
This is how I'm loading it and I know that part is working: _root.attachMovie("login_mc","logIn",getNextHighes tDepth());

I'm just starting to program in AS3 and use it in frames on the main timeline vs OOP. Can you point me at some reference that would cover:-
1) If it is possible to scale a dynamically constructed object over a few frames in the time-line. I draw an object/shape on frame 10 and scale it up from frame 10 to frame 20, for example.
2) If I can control the depth of the dynamically constructed object. I draw an object on frame 10 and on frames 11 through 20 I have some line already drawn on another layer that I want to appear above or below the dynamically drawn shape. I can easily do both of these in AS1 but don't seem to see similar constructs in AS3?

Hello Flash World, Ok, I may have posted this question before but I am still confused. I have a Master Movie Clip that has a Mask over it. By having that mask I can't view my dynamic text box that is scrollable. How do I embed a font so I can view my dynamic text box? (Im using AS2) attach is a file that explains my problem.

I can't figure out how to create dynamic sliders like the ones in the attached.
For the sliders there are 100 points available. The three sliders can only have 100 points between them. For example, if slider 1 has 50 points. Slider 2 and 3 would only have 25 points between them.

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.

Im trying to keep all my movieclips onto 1 layer/mother mc to speed up the flash display engine
I have these takable items(movieclips) that respawn after a while.
Initially i build the level starting with all the takable items before adding all the players/npc's. This way the player and npc's walk over the objects if they are not taken.
After an items respawns though, i have to re add them to the main mc and then they appear to be over the npc's and they seem to be moving under a carpet of stuff.
Its a nice 3d effect but totally unwanted in this scenario.
Is there a way to make sure that items are added as child before a certain clip (like the player). I tried using addchildat but this gives me a index error now and then. I dont really understand how the depths are worked out by flash.
I was thinking of storing the original depth of an item movieclip and then on restore, addchild at at its old depth. Or is there a more sensible way?
Also: can two movieclips occupy the same index/depth level? or are the incemented or something?

I have 4 movieclips on my "layer1". Everytime my mouse is onRollOver of a movieclip, I just want THIS movieclip coming to the FRONT, that's to say the Highest Depth.
(in Visual Basic, "ZOrder(0)" is simple.. but harder in ActionScript.. lol )
I've found some many examples "around" this, but did'nt success to adapt the code to my simple needs !

Is it possible to keep a movieClip at the lowest depth and stack other movieClips on top. I have a container movieClip that I add a movieClip called floorTile. I want floorTile to always be at level 0 no matter what. Then when I click on another movieClip, I want this to be added on top of the floorTile.
ActionScript Code:
//create a container to hold the floor tile and textures
var myContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip()
myContainer.x=425;

I have a slide show of images for my banner that is loaded through the use of a component in my library. The component merely swaps images with a fade out/in as a transition. Now, that is working fine, the thing that I am having a problem with is that I cannot place an graphic/text on top of the component. I what the banner to be in the background. What do I have to add to the component to insure that it will always load in the back, not infront of the text, graphic, etc...

I started with some AS2 pageflip code that I've been modifying because I needed the code in AS3, and I wanted to make some changes to it. At anyrate, I'm having a problem with the depth of two movieclips created. The code first creates a page using the makePage function, and then creates a shade for that page (makeShade function).When running the code, the page appears on top of the shade. When using getChildIndex, the page's index = 11, and the shade's index = 14.
The complete code is super long so I've attached the code that has the shade and page below:
//create left-aligned page-sized solid fill
function makePage(targ, xQuadrant) {
//trace ("in make page");
[code]...
