ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Carousel - MCs Do Not SwapDepths Properly
Sep 26, 2007
I've just completed and have now made my own carousel, but it has one problem. The mc's do not swap depths properly which kinda kills the whole illusion...
Code:
var numOfItems:Number = 10;
var radiusX:Number = 250;
var radiusY:Number = 75;
var centerX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var centerY:Number = Stage.height/2;
[Code] .....
My stage is 1000 x 1000. The mc's flash back and forward when they overlap at the edges of the carousel.

I did the 3d carousel tutorial from gotoandlearn.com and I manage to create a background color that will load once you click an image with a movie clip called dim . However this movieclip dim keeps appearing atop my icons. I tried Swapdepths to change the orders but its not working.

I want the var dim to be behind the var t:Movieclip =home. in the preview the movie clip dim with the alpha of 80 appears on top the var t that has the carousel images.
Code:

I am trying to create a carousel effect with AS3. It all works good except that I get my swapdepths to work. I have a CarouselItem class
ActionScript Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class CarouselItem extends Sprite{
private var _angle:Number;
public function CarouselItem(){
super();
[Code] .....
I get the depth of the current object and then swap it with the one with the higher index.

I am VERY green when it comes to flash and this is my first ever project. What Im trying to accomplish; *a website for myself that is "simple" and clean to be used as an art portfolio/gallery of my work. -three sets of buttons that go to three pages all with carousels that hold my artwork for that type (ie. press the concept art button and it loads page 2 where there is a photo carousel that containing my concept art pieces.
-clicking another button will then call for a new page with a new carousel (I have three types of art that I am showcasing: concept art, fine art, 3D game art)
I have managed to create a flash page that has my name and the buttons and upon pressing the buttons it goes to the page I need. However the pages are at the moment empty due to the fact that I cannot get the carousels to work properly. I have watched the tutorial and dl the class package on 3D carousels. I changed the .as file within the package so that my carousel will be vertical by changing imc.x = Math.cos(imc.angle) * 450; to imc.y = Math.cos(imc.angle) * 450;

I've been trying yo convert Lee 3D carousel tut to AS3 and it pretty much there apart from one thing. I took Lee's as2 carousel 2 and applied what I know to convert it to AS3. I couldn't work out how to re-index each item properly. When the last item in the XML should appear under an item to it's left or right it does not due to numbers being rounded from the scaleX value being too close and causing the same number to be generated from more than one item therefore last item to be processed ending up on top. I've tried a few alternatives, but nothing has worked so far. Hopefully that makes to sense to someone.
If you download the files from Lee's tutorial http:[url].... open the fla, change the publish settings to Flash Player 9+ and AS3, remove all existing AS code, check the library item linkage as I've capitalized everything and add the following to the root timeline.The code causing the problem is this in the function mover:
Code: Select allvar index:int = Math.floor(mc.scaleX*10);
Code: Select allvar loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);[code].............

I have 2 images that I want to swap places on a certain frame in my animation. I've been messing with it for quite sometime now and I can accomplish one of two things. Either the animation goes smoothly and the images don't swap depths or the images swap depths and the animation hangs.

I have a banner I'm working on and it has 28 icons that are button symbols. Each one when you mouse over, has a label animate out of it. All of these icons are in very close proximity and when you mouse over, the label usually goes behind the other icons.Now usually, with movieclips I attach this:
Code:
MC.onRollOver = function (){
_root.x += 2;

I'm trying to create a Flash Carousel in AS2. I've made the Carousel itself, and have got the icon images and tooltips from an XML file using this code:
xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
[Code].....
I have functions for 'over', 'out', and 'released', and to move the carousel automatically, left or right depending on mouse position.
I was wondering if there was a way you could make each individual icon have an external link that leads to a different place on my website when you click on an icon, where I could specify the link url itself in the XML file?

I wish to have a 3d carousel much like a flash one in the below link : [URL] however, i wish the images to be dynamically generated and at the same time txt 'beneath' (to be added) the picture to be dynamically updated also...through a database. I wish to get it connected to a back end and probably use a content management system.

I'm currently working on a project (AS2 in CS5) that contains a lot of small dots that are set up as buttons with rollovers. This has been problematic since the rollovers will sometimes appear behind some of the other buttons.
I did a forum search and found information about the swapdepths function that can be applied to buttons by using the following code:
[Code]...
This code solved the overlap problem, however... now when i roll out of the button, the "roll over" state remains visible (instead of returning to its original state)

The problem i have is that i want to use the ui window component (in order to keep file size down, and it just works well) but i want to use multiple windows on the stage. It was simple to get them to open with PopUpManager.createPopUp and to intialise the close button with deletePopUp(). Now heres the big but i can't get a swapdepths function to work.I have added in an event listener for the close button and the swapdepths but only one fuction will work at a time, ie i can get the swap depth to work but you can't drag the windows or close them, or you can drag and close one window but the other will not do anything until the top one is closed.i know that it's a swapdepth problem but i can't work out where to put the swapdepth in the code to make all fuctions work at once.The code is below
var myq1:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, true, {closeButton:true, title:"Question 1", contentPath:'q1'});
myq1.setSize(600,450);

My movie has several scenes. In one of them I have to swapdepths of some mc's. The weird thing is that when I go on to the next scene, the mc's that were on top of the stackingorder are showing up on top of the next scene. I've tried about everything I could think of, but the mc's keep popping up on the other scene's.

I am having a problem and hope someone can help. I've created two mc's. One called "mcSkinned" and the other called "mcSkeleton". Each of these mc's has an mc inside of it that acts as the tab (so when the tab is clicked, the focus changes for either mcSkinned or mcSkeleton). The names of the tab mc's are:
mcSkeletonTabBackground
mcSkinnedTabBackground
So this means that mcSkeleton has mcSkeletonTabBackground in it and mcSkinned has mcSkinnedTabBackground in it.I've placed each main mc (mcSkinned and mcSkeleton) on the main scene and added the following code to an "Actions" layer on the timeline:
mcSkeleton.mcSkeletonTabBackground.onPress = function():Void {
mcSkeleton.swapDepths(this.mcSkinned);
};
mcSkinned.mcSkinnedTabBackground.onPress = function():Void {
mcSkinned.swapDepths(this.mcSkeleton);
};
Now, I know that I've done something wrong. Because if it worked, I would not be on here begging for help. Can anyone please let me know how I am screwing this up? have two tabs change depths when clicked on their tabs. I do not want these mc's to be draggable on to change z-depths.

Basically I've included actionscript which produces a 3d carousel through an xml file. everything has worked out well except I dont know how to stop the carousel from playing throughout my flash document. I have included button and frame labels which allow you to go to different pages, but on every page the carousel is playing throughout. I've tried the stop();. What I would like is for the actionscript to disappear after frame 19 and beyond. Is there anyway I could do that through actionscript maybe? I am using Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2.0.

I have a Flash carousel on my website, and I wanted to change one of the images, and delete another icon altogether. I have uploaded the revised XML file, published the new .swf (just in case), and uploaded to my Joomla site.For some strange reason, its still showing the old icons in Firefox (even though I've deleted these images from the referenced folder), and its showing the new icons in IE, only without the one image I added. Very strange.I've refreshed, created a new .swf, made sure I've saved the XML file etc but no changeThis is probably one of those amateur mistakes I think, I've thought of everything but drawing a blank at the moment.Oh i should probably mentioned that the revised carousel has 4 icons, and the old one has 5. The new image I put in has an icon of a jigsaw.XML File is as follows
<icons>
<icon image="icon3.jpg" tooltip="Ramis Software" link="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=67"/>

I'm using the Oxylusflash 3d Carousel which uses AS2.0. I've got it installed and working, however I want to trigger a Greybox javascript popup by clicking on an image in the carousel menu. The Greybox popup is initiated in HTML by simply including arguments in the <a href..> tag like this:
Code:
<a href="[URL]" title="Google" rel="gb_page_center[640, 480]">Launch google.com in a 640x480 window</a>
The carousel .fla file (which for commercial reasons I am unable to upload) uses a file called pictureClick.as to handle the onClick events (I think this is the right way to describe it). The pictureClick.as file contains the following:
//function called by onPress event and return "name" variables from xml (if action is other that "_blank")
function pictureClick(par){
//this is the the name of current holder that keeps all images
var father=_root.slideshow.poze;
