ActionScript 2.0 :: SwapDepths On Multiple Movieclips/buttons?
Feb 24, 2010
I'm making a website where you click a character and a board drops down behind the character. But I have this for many other buttons. For example board 1 is already placed, I click button 2 and board 2 comes down infront of the first board (which I wanted btw) HOWEVER the board also goes infront of the characters, I've been trying to sort this but nothings working .
Button 1 code:
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
_root.home.gotoAndPlay(2);

can i change the depths of two movieclips on the same layer with swapdepths? like...
mc1.swapDepths(mc2 + 1);
it's not working for me. So i figure you can't do it with two mc's on the same layer...

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 am a Flash newbie and I've probably bitten off more than I can chew with this one...it sounded so easy!
Okay, so here's what I want to do: There are 5 people layered across the screen. When you rollover the person, they change color and come to the foreground (over the other pictures). On rollout, they go back to the background and change back in color. On click, they go to a new screen with just their picture and some information.
I first started setting this up and did each person as a button. Then I realized that in doing that, the button would not come to the foreground on rollover if it was below other buttons in the layers. So I put all of the buttons in movie clips and applied AS to the buttons (inside the movie clips, with the buttons on the main scene) and the AS2 looks like this:

I'm using a really simple bit of code on some fading in/out buttons which overlap each other slightly to ensure that the one with the cursor resting over it sits in front of the others:[code]problem being that this brings the button in front of everything across all layers. How do I change my swapdepths to make sure the layers above the buttons STAY above? - or do I need to add something to the other layers to give them a fixed 'depth'?

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

The Code I have so far is....
Code:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=24;i++){
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.name = "image_"+i;

I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.

PHP Code:[code].....

I am using Flash CS4 with ActionScript 3 and I am fairly new at it. I am struggling with two things.
1. How can I start a movie clip while scrolling over a button? I know how to start a movie clip when a button is clicked.
2. How can I use multiple movie clips for seperate buttons?

I have a map with a list of items to the side. I want the list to work as buttons and highlight both the button and the particular image on the map... and when you click you link to a certain location.I also want to be able to MouseOver the map, have both the image on the map and the corresponding 'button' from the list highlight - but when you click, you go to a different location than if you would have clicked from the list.I have it set up - but something is conflicting. Here is how I have my code set:
Code:
BUTTON_ONE.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {

I have been using Flash since it was Flash 3 and AS2 for about 3 years now. I have never ever ever been a fan of buttons. I find them limiting and icky. I just moved to AS3 and OOP this week (it's about freakin time, I know). I am just wondering who here likes to use buttons and why? Is there a point to them? I mean, apparently with AS3, you just have to add "mc.buttonMode = true" and you are well on your way to having all the functionality you need without all the hassle or up states and all that.I am open to adopting new techniques and strategies if they are worthwhile so I am just curious as to what the community thinks. What are the pros and cons to using MovieClips as buttons instead of using an actual SimpleButton.

add some functionality to the presentation template. Currently you can only move from one page to the next. So if I want an animation on a page, no problem I'll just add a stop script at the end. No big deal. But if I want Multiple animations (just trying to replace powerpoint here) then I get into trouble.
Each page is one frame on the main timeline. Hitting left/right goes to the next frame, unless the movieclip on that frame also has additional frames. Then it should move to the next frame within that, etc.
I can't figure out that if statement though. I had another bit of script going on my first go, but ran into some issues so thought it best to create all of the scripting on the main timeline. Initially I created a boolean variable, then ran an if statement. Inside of a movieclip I switched the boolean and used the same keyboard interaction to walk through it. On the last frame of that movieclip, I switched the boolean back so the main timeline interaction kicked in again. The problem is, that's a Lot of copying and pasting of that code, and I can't figure out how to go through more than one parent. I just couldn't get it to work.
Should I just be building this thing in a Completely different way? I need to make something, so for now I'm splitting up each frame that I need different animations on and creating a different movieclip for each section. Ideally that would be contained in one movieclip's timeline. Currently one each animation's interaction will be on a timeline. So I have to duplicate the slide to add an animation. So if I have a title come in, then a pie chart, then an image, then another piece of text, I'll be stuck with 4 separate movie clips.
I want something like:if current movie clip current frame is == total frames, clicking right goes to next frame, else go to next frame of it's parent's timeline.I say the parent and not stage because the way you have to set up transitions only works within a movieclip. So you have to set up the entire slideshow within a movieclip if you want transitions between each slide. Right?
I don't care about transitions for now, but will want control of those eventually.

I have 30-40 movie clips that I want to reshape. They are all identical except for color and name. Is there a batch way to duplicate the entire library but change the shape without going into each one?

I have a few movieClips and I would like them to play one after the other. [At end of MovieClip play next movieClip]. Using AS3 to Tween, this is my first Clip props.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(FloatRight_mc, "x", Regular.easeOut, 22.00, 495.95, 3, true);
var myTweenAlpha:Tween = new Tween(FloatRight_mc, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 1, 0, 3, true);
How do I get the next movieClip to start playing before its completion, and so on?

I am making a website with complete external xml data holding text and urls to images. I have several categories. One of the category has three sub categories as menu. When I click btn1 it gets the xml and start making text field, rectangles, lines and picture frame for thumbnails. Before that I use a single movieClip container to hold all that stuff and then point it to mask and scroller too.That is working fine. Now the problem is that when I click on btn2 I want to remove previous container and make a new one.
Now what happening is that it is creating one more container of different xml and putting over the previous one. I have used removeChild command and it is still not working. It only works if I use it alone and do not create a new container. All this process is done on a movieClip. That movieClip holds container, mask and scroller. The only thing that is made dynamically is the container. Rest of the items are on the timeline of the movieClip. I need to remove container inside of the movieClip and make a new container inside the movieClip.

I have several movieclips in my project which are being used as buttons, and when you rollover the mc's the content is viewable the entire time the mouse is hovering in the area of the movie clip, once the mouse moves off it disapeers. Great. I have the code that allows this to happen, but i have multiple mc's and only one works at a time. Here is the code:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mc.gotoAndStop(2);

I have created a flash whack-a-mole game, and coded the 9 different x and y cordinates the 4 moles can come up on. But I can't code it so that the moles can never have the same x and y cordinates.
I have tried this code: (Barney and mulvarp is two moles. .flytt(); is the command that gives the mole a new place to be.
if( Barney.x == mulvarp.x ){
Barney.flytt();

I'm following a tower defence tutorial and part of the code is set up so I can build towers on the "grass" movie clip. I wanted to add more patches of "grass" and gave them all the same instance name so I can be able to place towers on them, but I have the problem that I can only place towers on the first item I placed and has the instance name of "grass". I can't seem to place towers on the other patches of grass.I removed the instance name of the first patch of grass and it let me build towers on the second patch, but the second patch only.

I have 3 movie clips in my scene and they all function properly individually.Problem: only the first movieclip will work in my test of the full scene.If I move a movieclip from the bottom to the first position in my scene, then it will run while the others are stopped I can't figure out how to tell the program to activate all 3 simultaneously - so each button (linked to one scene in the movie clip) will be available to click.The code from each movie clip essentially looks like this
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
BtnKonzertDesk.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseDownHandler1);

So I'm trying to shoot multiple bullets out of my body and it all works except I have an odd problem of just one bullet showing up and updating to set position for the new ones.
I have a move able player thats supposed to shoot and I test this code by moving the player and shooting. Im taking it step by step in creating this.
The result of tracing the bulletContainer counts correctly in that its telling me that movieclips ARE being added to the stage; I Just know it comes down to some kind of logic that im forgetting. Here's My Code (The Bullet it self is a class)

multiple classes and then register each movieclip from the library to a different class? It isnt working for me. I created two different classes and created two entire different movieClips and registered each movie clips to a different class. However, I can only use on movieClip at a time, when I use the duplicateMovieClip. command to create copies of the movieclip, i find that only those movieclips, whose class i declared first, appear on stage
