I have 2 layers in my timeline. One is on the main timeline the other is inside a movieclip. I want to make one of the layers in the movieclip render above the main timeline layer while the others render below. How do I do this.
View 1 RepliesI've got a layer full of keyframes. It's basically a circle that turns on/off, flashes, whatever,using motion tweens, but most importantly, it has a defined position on the canvasI'd like to place it in another spot, but when I try to select the whole layer and move it, it moves only the keyframe located below the playhead(I think that's what it's called), which won't do me any good.

View 2 Repliesi've been receiving a ton of help here and love it but Im having a really bad time fixing this one part of an infographic im making. i need to do the following in a flash cs4/as2.0 file:
1.) make all boxes draggable on the stage
2.) on click/hover bring layer to the front.
var city_arr:Array = new Array(THIS CONTAINS A LIST OF ALL MY CITIES I AM USING AS MY NAMING CONVENTION);
[Code]...
I am trying to control an entire Layer through AS .. Is this possible?
E.g....
From an onRelease .. Cause Layer 1 to _alpha = 0; .. Then _visible = false;
So, I have a line of buttons that pop up when moused over. Unfortunately, due to their proximity to one another, I have a lot of overlap occurring. Is there a way to bring the activated button in front of the others via as?
View 8 RepliesBefore I started armaturing, I added 200 frames, but I only needed 67.. Now I cannot remove the frames in front of the armatured layer! I can't delete, and if I push it backwards it all just compromises and goes really quick. I cannot move poses, nor can I cut/copy them.

I have this all working but what I need to know asap though is, Is there a way that i could put a black box layer over it that when the user walks in front of the camera that the black box would disapear.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to add layers, re-order layers, move movieclips from layer to layer or specify which layer a duplicate movieclip appears on at runtime with AS3?I am aware of the depth properties and the functions associated with that but it would be easier to have a concept of a layer because I am dealing with masks.I have a nasty feeling I'm gonna be told that layers don't really exist within an swf and that depths and setmask are all there is to work with.
View 4 RepliesI have created a motion-tween with three images rotating in a flat circle from the foreground to the back. As the images move to the background, they shrink in size 25% and darken a bit. The motion has three stopping stages, with each image having a period in the foreground.
I am having an issue figuring how to make the images in the front to overlap those in the back as it rotates. I have tried placing each image on a seperate layer and placing the images on a single layer but it doesn't function the way I hope.
I have six images on a frame as buttons with rollovers making them expand on the button frames. The issue is when the mouse goes over they only expand over the other buttons they are above stackingwise in that layer. I really was hoping to create just a simple bit of code, but it seems that things like containers and children are all needed?[code]The little line of code was my most recent attempt but it pulled up an error about things I have no clue on (1118). Is there a simple code to move the current button on top with out having to say "forget AS3!" and just make a 5 frame webpage a 60 frame one? what is the best format to import videos into a flash project? I went with a swf version, but I was not sure if the mov or other formats would be better.
View 7 RepliesStill getting used to the subtle changes in FL CS4...how can I select all the keyframes within one or two lines in order to move (drag) them further down the timeline? In previous versions, you simply click on the first frame, then hold down shift and click on the last frame, and it would grab everything in between. Seems like in CS4, the new tween "hi-lighted" frames do not want to be included, so I am unable to move the entire line, as a group.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a portfolio site with a handful of thumbnails. I want a short description of each thumbnail to appear when I rollover the thumbnail. I've got it set up to appear, but I want them to fade in. I can't seem to figure that out. In addition, I want an image to appear and move to the front when the thumbnail is clicked. I can get it to appear, but if it's not on top, then it will just show under the other images visible. I'm thinking that a simple command would solve all these issues, but I cannot seem to figure it out. I've included the action script for one thumbnail.
Ideally, I'd like for the clicked image to fade out and the next clicked image to fade in, but I think that that is beyond my Actionscript understanding for now.
I've made a parallax scroller consisting of three layers (actually each layer is a movieclip). On the bottom layer I have attached some sprites which I want to be clickable. The problem is that objects which are on the middle and front layer are "blocking" the sprites so they can't be clicked. I've googled for nested listeners but haven't found a solution yet.

View 2 RepliesI make my fla file and then want to move an image on the stage slightly without recording the movement!
I have tried many ways and cannot - I even set up guides as I end up deleting layer and resetting.
i just want to know if one layer can move quicker then the movie frameset
exmple { movie frameset is 12 i just want one layer to go at 20 }
I have a question, and I find it hard to find resources on it. I have two layers, and another layer with an image of a broom on it. I want to use the broom to move over layer2, and reveal the layer beneath it. Kind of making a sweeping game. Frankly my search efforts on google have only come up with alot of masking, but I am sure you need actionscript to make the broom move with the mouse.
View 1 RepliesI've tried 3 different scripts for a random loading image layer and none of them work. Does anyone have code/script for this that will work for Flash 5? I'm totally hung up at this stage and can't move on with the page or site until I have this aspect resolved.

View 1 RepliesI am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer. That has been fine, but now I want to loop it and I usually put my actions in the top layer. Will this cause a problem? Am I better off just putting my loop action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?
View 3 RepliesIm creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)
