ActionScript 2.0 :: Moving Rolled Over Clips To Front
May 3, 2009
Basically I have a group of overlapping movieclips acting as buttons. I need to bring the clip that is being rolled over to the front. These clips are nested in a movieclip which is being loaded via attachMovie into a holder clip on the main timeline. I've created a simple file which uses this code on the clips timeline and it works for two buttons:
clip1.onRollOver = function(){
clip1.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth());
} clip2.onRollOver = function(){
clip2.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth());
}
However when I drop the same code into my file which has many more buttons it does not work. I've set up a trace to display depths with very strange results. Here is the code for one of the clips.
stop();
depth=MC_one.getDepth();
trace(depth);
createEmptyMovieClip("MC_top",9999);
MC_one.onRollOver = function(){
this.swapDepths(MC_top);
depth2=MC_one.getDepth();
trace(depth2);
}
The first trace produces a depth of -16358. The second produces no trace on RollOver. If I change it to onPress it produces a trace of 9999 for when pressed.

how to bring a button to the front when it is rolled over. I have a scene with six buttons. When each button is rolled over the roll over state contains a movie that runs and animation that 'grows' the button to reveal other information. The problem I have is the 'depth' each of these buttons are on. The top button works fine and goes over the other buttons, but the bottom level button expands below all the other buttons. If you look at the attached screen grabs you will see what I mean. What is the actionscript 3.0 I need to use and where and how do I apply it?

I'm not sure if this is possible in AS2 but I'll try asking first. I have two movie clips which enlarges when rolled over. My problem is that the second image overlaps the first image when the first image enlarges. The two images are side by side.

I have created a button which contains a movie for each county, when a user rolls over it pops out and displays a list of names. The problem I have is each button is on a layer and when you roll over the bottom button it's hidden below the others. Is there a script to bring each layer to the front automatically? I'm new to flash so if possible could you please explain in layman's terms.

I have 114 drag movie clips (one on other, overlapping movie) on the same frame. By clicking a button (on the same frame) 7 movie clips (randomize) should be visible and active to drag. Those movies that are in front are active and I can drag them, the other are visible but can not be drawn.[code]...

I'm trying to re-size and move a movie clip using my keys, and I can do it, but for some reason, if I set a really low value to "speed", it won't move to the right or down, but it will move to the left or up, even if very slowly.
It is as if flash has problems in advancing very low values on the positive x and y axis.
Add this code to the first frame:
stop();
var speed = 0.01;
var grow = 3.6;

There r two function which I compare for effectiveness, createFlake uses a symbol in the library to duplicate and createFlake2 uses programming drawing to create the same looking shape.When I run this file with createFlake calls it consumes about 70% of my CPU and when I use createFlake2 my CPU is 100% busy.I would prefer to use pure programming here so my question is: Is it a "normal" result because of Flash implementation or am I doing something in a not optimal fashion?
Code:
// copying from Library FAST
function createFlake(i) {

Firstly, I want to be able to push the space bar on my keyboard during a swf, and for a movie clip to appear on the stage. This is what I have so far:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
_root.attachMovie("Explosion", "Explosion"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["Explosion"+i]._x = _x;
_root["Explosion"+i]._y = _y-20;
}}
but its not working....
Secondly, I want A movie clip to spawn in the middle of the stage, then randomly travel outwards to the edge of the stage, then dissapear. And this needs to happen over and over, with the same movie clip travelling to a different place each time. This is what I have so far :
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
timer = 0;
i = 0;
a = 0;
b = 0;

I have three movieclips that i would like to move to a certain position and fade in during this process. I would loke that to happen with an interval of 1/2 a second between each clip. The funtion is not a problem, neither is the setInterval! But how to combine these two??

After creating a container with 5 dynamically attached clips. I want to place the move the clips to coordinate from xArray and yArray the clips are not moving. What did I goof?
Code:
//Variable to Store Number of Clips Desired
clipCount = 5;
xArray(25, 50, 75, 100, 125);
yArray(200, 250, 300, 350, 400);
newX = xArray[i-1];
// set coordinate X (destination)

I am definitely not competent with code in any significant way, and although I am confident that this code is even Action Script 2, I am not certain.A client has requested that I make a simple rolling filmstrip that loops with pictures. For this I searched the Internet for hours looking for a tutorial or a downloadable Flash file that has something close to what I want. Surprisingly, amid the dozens of purchasable applications and such I stumbled across, it seemed that none had exactly what I was wanting, which seems simple.
Anyway, I was able finally to find something useful.It allowed me to do what I wanted fairly simply.However, there are two things that I cannot figure out.The original "template" file was designed so that the filmstrip moves automatically, but when the cursor is hovered over the strip, the speed of the movement increases either way relative to how close to either horizontal edge the cursor is.
I went in and edited the code to turn that off. Now, the strip stops moving whenever the cursor is on the left side of the strip, and starts when it is on the right side. Also, the strip does not start automatically on most browsers I have viewed it on.The Action Script is posted below:
stop();
//Setup////////////////////////////////////////
//totalclips on stage - make sure in the properties panel they are named imgbox1,imgbox2,imgbox3,etc...
var totalClips = 6;
//to stop the clips from moving change to true;
var holdPosition = false;
//applies a max speed for the movie clips (false if no max speed)
var maxSpeed = .1;[code]............

This is sort of a multi-layered question- I have a movie clip that I sectioned off in quadrants:The red dot is the player, the stage is the size of one square. My goal is to, when the player moves to either of the 4 edges, the next section of the quadrant comes up (meaning if the player moves to the right edge, the section that borders the right edge will slide on screen, and the old section will slide off screen).I was wondering if there was a way to hitTest if an object is touching any part of the edges? Is the hitTestPoint method something I should look into? What I have so far is an object off screen (black rectangle), that when the player touches the quadrants slide like I want them to (at least I'm trying to make that work).Here is my code. I know some of it's wrong and/or I'm missing something.
if(leftKeyIsDown && player_mc.x > -15)
//-15 is half the size of the temporary player_mc

i'm kinda new to actionscript but im trying to find out how to realise a banner i am making.I have 1 big movieclip thats about 5x larger then what is shown, i have 4 movieclips each on each side of the movieclip, left, right, up and down.The idea is that when i hover on 1 of the movieclips the big movie clip moves that way until the mouse isn't hovering above it or when the movieclip reaches the end of the side.I have given a mouse listener event to each movieclip on the side, the trace works well, but i i don't know how to make the big movieclip move when i hover the side, i hope someone can give me some pointers on how to proceed.
Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
leftMove.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,move_left);
function move_left(event_object:MouseEvent) {

Im looking for a way for flash to remember what buttons the user has rolled over. Then being able to tell flash to play back the button sequence in the order they were rolled over.I have managed to adapt someone else mouse movement recorder but that is all it does is record the coordinates of the mouse and not that it actually rolled over certain buttons.

I have a group of pictures which are going to be overlapping. I want the user to be able to view the whole picture (bring it to the front) when they roll the cursor over that picture. I'm sure this is very easy to do but I'm not so experienced with flash coding yet.

I was trying to create a button rollover that, when the mouse was over a button, a movie clip would advance frames, and go back to the original when the mouse rolled out. The AS I used was just the basic button rollover, attached to the button itself
[Code]...
But, even if the command is gotoAndPlay, the clip will advance and show objects that are not symbols(if they are symbols, it shows the last frame of the symbol), or objects that have been motion tweened.
Two questions out of all of this. First, is there a better way to do a button rollover? And secondly, is there a way to get movie clips/motion tweened objects to show up in a movie clip that is dependent on a rollover?

I was just surfing the forums, and found exactly what I needed, but then I lost it . I need to create an effect where a bar go's to the rolled over button. Its a horizontal menu, with the sliding bar. I can get the bar to follow the mouse, but not the moused over button. Please help, this is very frustrating.

I have a nav menu i am building with flash MX 2004 and im using action script to make the background change when nav buttons are rolled over. I currently have a movie clip where the background changes with a motion tween and i used some action script so that depending on the button the specific frame will play and then stop in the background change mc.However after you have done things once they get screwed up and instead of the animation it just changes pictures instantly and the picture is usually incorrect.here is a sample of the actionscript i am using:
Code:
on (rollOver){
_root.bg_mc.gotoAndPlay("1");
}

Simple problem.On layer1 we have a button.On layer2 we have a symbol_MC (which is a movie clip with animation embedded inside) overlapping the button.
Result.The button cannot be rolled-over or clicked due to symbol_MC overlapping it.
Solution.Obviously I need to make the symbol_MC on layer2 which is overlapping the button undetectable to the cursor,so that when the cursor rolled over symbol_MC, it detects the button instead.I don't have any code to make symbol_MC undetectable to the cursor!
