View 4 RepliesI'm loading an image in a UILoader Component (created during runtime).
var lb:UILoader = new UILoader();
addChild(lb);
Now when I load any image into this then it loads on top of everything.I know this is because it goes over the top of stack. But is there any solution by which i can move it downwards or even at the bottommost layer. I've tried setChildIndex(lb, 0) though but it didn't work.
i have a timeline animation inside a movieclip.it contains bitmaps. when i set the movieclip's alpha 50 etc, i cant see the alpha effect on the bitmaps except for bottom layer.that simple animation seems like these and i cant understand this situation
View 7 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)
how can i draw a shape, that is only rounded at it's bottom ?
var _myShape:Shape = new Shape();
_myShape.graphics.lineStyle(4,0x000000,1,true,....);
_myShape.graphics.drawRoundRect(0,0,50,50,10);
I have some floating window that opens above my page. The problem is that I don't want buttons above to be trigerable. I tried to put an movieclip on bottom layer of floating window and tell him not to show hand cursor, but it looks as if my floating window is transparent. I could still push buttons below and cursor would change into hand. [URL] go to button "ostalo" and click any of galleries. Then go over reed floating window and you'll notice that you can push buttons underneath.

View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble getting an emptymovieclip which i have created to draw with to appear below the top layer. . . is LineTo always at the top depth?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to be able to draw in a specific layer. I've tried using a mock MoviceClip (empty) that lies in it's specific layer like such:
Code:
mock_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("line_mc", depth);
line_mc.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
line_mc.moveTo(150,200);
line_mc.lineTo(300,200);
But it just does not work! Gaaaah, im getting crazy over this. Aren't we supposed to be able to draw into any MovieClip?
I am new to AS3. I wanted to use attachMovieClip sort of thing in AS3. Basically I have a movieclip in library and the mc contains a textfield named "textName_txt" and I want to duplicate that movieclip with different text names. I have done it using an Array and for loop. Everything is working fine till now. But I want to trace the movieclip number when I click on the movieclips. For example, I want to trace 0 when I click on first movieclip then 1 for second movieclip etc.
We could do this easily using AS2 where we could provide an instance name for movieclips using AttachMovieClip. In AS3 I don't know how to store the value of i(for loops i). It is always tracing 3 (the last number) for i because the length of Array is 4.

in order to use removeMovieClip, I think I have to use attachMovieClip first, right? What I want to happen is drag and item with the mouse, and then on release make it stop dragging and make it look like it returns to its original spot.
ActionScript Code:
mirror_inv.onPress = function () {
mirror_inv.swapDepths(1);[code]....
Also the commands attachMovieClip and removieMovieClip don't light up in AS. However just attachMovie and removeMovie do light up, not sure if that is same thing..
i made a movie clip and made it so when i clikc on it another movie lip is created inside. That movieclip should move forward but is doesn't. look at the 10 lines of code and try and find a problem. Heres the code if u don't want to look at the .flaon the box:
Code:
on (press) {
++i

Don't know if the flash layer on the view stack contain only the compiled flash swf file
View 1 RepliesThe following code blocks create a movie clip 20px high and align it to the bottom of the stage (I add 100px to stageHeight because by default it traces 300 instead of 400). Regardless, both code blocks work when tested in Flash.In HTML however, only the first code block works.The second code block produces a blank HTML page. The second block is so that I can change the footer's height and still have it sit at the bottom of the stage...Considering "footerY" traces 380px, I have no idea how the two code blocks are so different that one HTML page makes the clip visible and the other doesn't.
Code:
var footerHeight:uint = 20;
// var footerY:uint = (stage.stageHeight + 100) - footerHeight;
// trace(footerY);

I have 2 clips sitting on each other which can be tabbed between via swapDepths(). The initial 'underneath' clip has one large textfield/box of type 'input'. For some reason when you mouse over the upper clip in runtime (which has NO textfield) the cursor is coming up. Like as if it is selecting the textfield in the underneath clip. This shouldnt happen!!!!. Ideally users should only be able to select and enter data into the input field when that Mc has been tabbed and is at the top.
I did try making a function to turn the 'selectability' off when the input clip is at the bottom, but this of course doesnt work on textfields of type input
have a clip, and I want to redraw only an area of that clip.Therefore I use the following code where I use a simple rectangle with "hello" written inside it, its dimension are 200*100I want to redraw only a part of 50*20 of that rectangle. Here is the code I used :
var clip:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
clip.graphics.beginFill(0x990000,1);
clip.graphics.drawRect(0,0,200,100);

My movie clip is not bottom aligned when window is resized. I noticed that everything works when I delete the line which tells the stage to not scale. PHP Code: //Stage.scaleMode = "noscale"; But I need to keep that line because I don't want my swf to scale. My question is how can I resolve the issue with the bottom align of my mc? I already have addListener but seems it does not work when the "noscale" line presents.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to design a very basic flash game. The basis of which is that there is a slider at the bottom and objects fall from the top and you have to avoid them. However, if the object lands on the slider, it also has to become part of the slider and so the area of the slider increases. I am unsure of how to code this last bit as the properties of the slider must change.

I need to create new object, but in a layer that is below the tope one. So far I tried some commands:
PHP Code:
_root.attachMovie(...);
- this one creates object above all other. Changing depth doesn't change anything when it's about objects I put manually in editor.
PHP Code:
_root.layername.attachMovie(...);
- this one doesn't work at all.

View 6 Repliesim adding some button movieclips to a swf and for some reason its programmed to always have the dynamic hovers on top, i need to add a few static buttons on top of the dynamic hovers. here is what i tried but it still isnt working
Code:

is there a way to attach the placeholder_mc at the absolute top layer even over the hovers?

View 4 RepliesI'm building a dynamic content page in flash that consists of using attachMovieClip and createEmptyMovieClip with coordinates to place photos and objects, which are loaded from an external source and scrolling their thumbnails I've run into a problem setting the variables correctly because the scrolling thumbnails required that the thumbnails be nested inside a scrolling controller clip and that has somehow messed up my preloading and sequential text caption loading for the tumbnails.
