View 2 Repliesi have 7 buttons inside an MC in a row next each other, when the mouse rollover each of it zooms 20%. Now the problem starts when the button you're hoving over is zoomed, the button next to it cuts into the image. in the order they where inserted I want the button you're zooming over to always display as the top layer - bring to front -.
i read of a code:
btn.swapDepths(1);
to change the depth of the movie clip
and:
trace(btn.getDepth());
to get the initial depth of the button putting it at a higher or lower depth than the other buttons will either place the button behind or in front of the other buttons ...play around with depths untill you figure it out.
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.

View 10 RepliesI 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 RepliesFor my college project I've created buttons were when you roll over images they are enlarged. The problem I have is when I roll over the images, the one next to the one I want shows in front of the image that I'm scrolling over with the mouse. I want it so that the image being rolled over is in front. For example when the magazine article on the far left is enlarged it goes behind the logos next to it instead of in front so you can see clearly what's being scrolled.

View 2 RepliesI am currently building a commercial website, and am stuck on the functionality of a 'Featured Businesses' animated graphic. The functionality is there, it works, but the problem is, I can't figure out a proper way to make it so that when one button is pressed (that is behind the others on the timeframe), how can I make it so that all the frames/layers (which contain the other buttons) go behind whatever button is activated?
As I said, it works, the problem is that all but the last button (which is the top layer) are obscured from view by the other buttons/MC's that are on top of it as far as the timeline is concerned.!
I tried messing around with the objectdestroy function, but this is my first foray back into ActionScripting since I scripted my last 2D platformer way back in 2005 when I was using Flash MX and before Adobe took control. So I'm rusty.
The link below should contain the .swf of the functional graphic. As you can see it works, but the top buttons are behind the others, so you can't see their animation fully.=

I have a wipe transition of a photo, and underneath that, another photo. So that when the MC is run, what the viewer sees is the underlying scene photo progressively (but quickly) being wiped over by the gradual revelation of a another pict. Now I want to programmatically move the underlying ("wiped over") layer to the top. The underlying scene photo occupies the lower layer. I've tried turning the wipe collection of mask and photo for one layer into one symbol, and the other pict scene into another symbol. But for the life of me I don't understand how the code for each goes into the layer tree. Or whether scoping out the symbols as I've postulated is even the right way to proceed.
The board doesn't allow for the ability to post the (f-) file, so there's no way I can ask if anyone can show me how to weave the code into the Timeline area. Also I'd like to direct the program to bring the lower layer to the top under certain conditions. There are no examples anywhere for how to programmatically do this for CS4. There was a CS3 way to do like this (this is a mouse rollover sample):

View 2 RepliesIm new to Flash and am working on a small project and have come across a problem. I dont know how best to describe it but I will give it a go. On one frame I have multiple buttons. I want the 'down' frame of the button to come up as a bitmap image over the entire frame, however when I try to do this, when I click on the button the image shows up but is behind all the other buttons on the page. Is there anyway around this or do I need a new approach?

i'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]...
How can I implement this? I tried to use: (this.numChildren - 1)But it doesn't work. I want to use this code because I have 8 boxes, each are 100px X 100px. You hover each box and they flip over but the "backside" of these cards are larger in both length and width than the front. When they flip over they overlap the neighbouring card. I'm looking for some sort of script so that I can tell each card to align itself above the other cards on the stage.
