ActionScript 2.0 :: Depth With Dynamically Created Textboxes And Ungrouped / Non-symbol Objects
Aug 10, 2004
im building a full as anything text-typing-component... easily modified and adapted etc...one problem however... i came across a depth issue in testing.... its a little peculiar so you will have to bear with me... i have 2 layers, called typer layer and plain layer... on the plain layer i have drawn out a shape... like a circle for instance.... if plain layer is on top of typer layer everything works fine. if plain layer is below typer layer the typer does not type.... it doesnt even show up....
[Code]....

i have 2 layers, called typer layer and plain layer... on the plain layer i have drawn out a shape... like a circle for instance.... if plain layer is on top of typer layer everything works fine. if plain layer is below typer layer the typer does not type.... it doesnt even show up. at present the dynamically created text field into which the typing text will be put into has a depth equivalent to that of a guide inside the component (just a plain mc used for determining sizes etc nothing special) +1 i added 1 to its current depth because if i dont i only seem to get EITHER the circle OR the typer.... whereas if i add 1, i get EITHER the typer AND the circle OR just the circle..but this doesnt make sense does it? i mean if the typer layer is on top then it has a higher depth (ie. closer to zero as depths are currently in the negatives still ) so if i add 1 it shouldnt conflict with anything and i should get it typing and displaying the circle surely?and if it is below then the circle has a higher depth so in this respect if the typer wouldnt work when it is on the bottom i could understand this as the depths would be conflicting and as such the dynamically created text field couldnt be created in the first place because the depth level is already occupied....

I have a combination of movie clips, graphic and button objects that I want to appear in front of a movie clip that's being dynamically spawned through ActionScript.
Despite looking at various codes on how to go about doing this, problem is I'm using code somebody else made, so I don't know where to add the code to set the depth order for the spawned object. I'm not even sure which codes to use to achieve the effect I want.[code]...

If objects are created dynamically in AS3, using code like this:
for (var num:Number = 0; num<10; num++){
var txtFld:TextField = new TextField();
txtFld.text = 'This is the original text';
this.addChild(txtFld);
}
then later, i want to changet the text of one of the TextFields, how can I do that? The only instance listed in the variables is a single instance of "txtFld" and it is the last one that is created. How can I access the others?

I have a scroll pane with textboxes and buttons that are dynamically created in a function. The textboxes are a user list that can get very long.
I am having problems where once I get out of this frame I want everything to be removed. I have tried removing the scroll pane but all the dynamically created objects remain. Is there some command when you enter a new frame to clear all objects or something along that line?

So I have an object, generated on each click of the mouse. It's set up as a series of points with properties, with values for position randomly calculated, and set around where the user clicks the mouse. Lines are drawn from where the mouse is clicked out to each of these points, so it kind of looks like a star, but only lines, rather than a solid shape (like those old 50's atom clocks?). So once clicked there's an enter frame event listener on the object so that each of the points 'wobble' (using a randomly generated number) up and down around the original point.
For some reason, I can either set it so that on each new click of the mouse and newly generated object, the last one stops "wobbling" and only the new one does, or each new object moves to where the new object is, and maybe is still wobbling(?), but is underneath the new object. This way has the event.target as a new object in the wobble function, so I think it may be just a case of where the centre point is - i.e. saving the mouse x and y for each object individually, or perhaps I have too much of the setup function code repeated in my "wobble"function?

I'm working on an interface with an option to enter html code, and then click a button to render what's in the text box as html, and if needed convert it back to plain text to edit the html code again.I know you can change whether text boxes render their contents as html using text.html = true/false but it doesn't do it if the text box contains anything and setting the contents to "" before changing it doesn't seem to work either. Does this make any sense? If so does anyone know how I can do it?

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);

im develloping an application for create a layout of advertising newspaper. the user can set the number of pages, and create rectangles represanting the adverts, then drag them and place them into the the representation of the page.the display list is as follow: on the main stage there is inputs textfields and a button that create the pages according to the number that the user typed.Then instances of the pages are created (MC Page in the lybrary exported for AS as Page and i have a class Page as well). Inside this clip Page i have my tools for create the rectangles and drag and place.....As well as the instances of my pages are created, button(1 for each Page) are also created. NOTE that Page and button are in the main stage My probleme is that i want my button to change the depth of is related page for it can be on top or alpha at 100% or the visibilty to true, but my button doesnt find the instance name of the pages at the export because they are not yet created.

I am drawing some lines in my program using
graphics.lineTo(xx, yy);
The program has a background image over which these lines are drawn.The problem which I am facing is that the image overshadows the lines and the lines are not visible to the user.Since these lines do not have an id, I am not sure as to how I can assign a depth to them?

im having trouble figuring out the difference between the layers on the time line and the dept of object that can be manipulated by actionscript.in a single layer there can be many objects but in actionscript at specific dept you can manipulate just one object using function such as setchildindex() .so in a movie clip where there are several objects in a single layer how can you access and change their depth as in bring them to front or put them to the bottom

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

I am making a 3d engine using formulas from a different language and its coming along nicely but I am having depth issues. How do I set the depth of an object within the script? I need the depth to change so I objects that are farther in the distance are further behind other objects.

The code doesn't work.
The getChildIndex and setChildIndex methods give error because cont[i] is not child of my object.
which is the fastest way to reorder depth of the objects ?
Code:
container.rotationY= container.rotationY + (mouseX-width/2)/100;
for (var i:uint=0; i<container.numChildren; i++) {
cont[i]=container.getChildAt(i);

I'm trying to sort MCs on stage that belong to different instances of different objects.

is there a simple way to use the Depth Management methods to control their sorting order? Right now, all I know how to do is place objectTypeB either in front of or behind all members of objectTypeA.

Is there a way to have ungrouped and grouped items mixed in the same datagrid?
For example, think of a grid that lists the root items on a C: drive.
Obviously, we would want the Directory Structure to be group and expandable. But the files on the root drive would also be shown on the list, however they would not be grouped.

I have imported a lot of paths from an Adobe Illustrator document right into a flash file. The paths exists as Drawing Objects inside the scene. Using pure actionscript, how can I move a symbol following each of the lines, without using predefined Motion Guides.
EDIT: I've attached the Flash file, full of drawing objects.
http:[url]....
The question is: Are these drawing objects accessible through AS3 or I should convert them to symbols / whatever format necessary.
