Flash - Sorting Display Objects By Their Display List Depth
Aug 5, 2011I have a list containing display objects from throughout the application (insertion order). I want to process the list either top-down (parent, child) or bottom up (child, parent). The only requirement is that either a parent is processed before any child or vice versa a child before its parent. What is a good approach? This question is not about sorting a list. It's about retrieving the depth of a particular display object.
Example
Display list:
A (root)
B1
C1
C2
D1
B2
......
My list:
list = [E1, F4, A, B2, B1, C3, ..., N9, N8]
Bottom-up:
N9, N8, F4, E1, C3, B2, B1, A
Top-down:
A, B2, B1, C3, E1, F4, N9, N8
Does not matter if N9 before N8 or N8 before N9. Important is that any N is before M (first run) or any M before its children N* (second run).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip Depth, Changing On The Fly?
Feb 5, 2012Im trying to keep all my movieclips onto 1 layer/mother mc to speed up the flash display engine
I have these takable items(movieclips) that respawn after a while.
Initially i build the level starting with all the takable items before adding all the players/npc's. This way the player and npc's walk over the objects if they are not taken.
After an items respawns though, i have to re add them to the main mc and then they appear to be over the npc's and they seem to be moving under a carpet of stuff.
Its a nice 3d effect but totally unwanted in this scenario.
Is there a way to make sure that items are added as child before a certain clip (like the player). I tried using addchildat but this gives me a index error now and then. I dont really understand how the depths are worked out by flash.
I was thinking of storing the original depth of an item movieclip and then on restore, addchild at at its old depth. Or is there a more sensible way?
Also: can two movieclips occupy the same index/depth level? or are the incemented or something?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing An Items Depth On Screen?
Feb 10, 2009There's a long story behind How I made it here and why I am messing with AS3 in the first place but I'll try to explain it in a shorter version. My boss seems to think that I am the equivalent of Einstein with computers and will tell me what he wants and just expect me to be able to figure it out. So he told me he wanted a website that looked like the Mercedes Benz website and left it at that.I am working with Flash CS3 Professional Version 9.0, trying my best to figure out all the ins and outs of the program, since I am a first time user. I have finished almost everything with the site. I have it all animated and working pretty well, but there's one main problem. I have 25 buttons, sorted out by 5 rows and 5 columns. These button all have pictures of golf carts on them and when you click on the golf cart it opens to show all the products that we sell for that particular cart. The first button works just fine, but all the buttons after that will not stay on top when they are selected.
I can't seem to figure out exactly what I need to do. I hvae struggled with ideas that I may need to put them in a container and then adjust their depths, but I am not sure if this is right or if there is any easier fix. Here's the code that I have so far on that particular page,Quote:
//Product1 Button
Product1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverProd1);
Product1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutProd1);

ActionScript 1/2 :: Changing Depth Of MovieClip On Rollover Of Button?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 1/2 :: Replacing A Movieclip Without Changing It's Children/depth/tweens
Feb 5, 2010I would like to be able to draw a simple box as a background/placeholder, dress it up with buttons and movie clips at design time, and at runtime call a function to replace the simple box with a new design. How would I go about doing this? I have a graphic design that is too complicated to make with flash. So i made a piece of actionscript that can restyle any existing movieclip. This piece of code works. It basically gets the coordinates of the specified mc, creates a new one in it's place and deletes the original. Unfortunately this also removes any nested movieclips and buttons and breaks animation tweens of this mc. So if the original mc would have a button on it and animates from left to right, the new one doesn't.
mc.clear(); looked very promising, but it only clears stuff you put on it at runtime while I need to clear the stuff from design-time. (= the simple box drawing object)Creating a movieclip with the same name, at the same depth doesn't seem to work. oldbox.parent.createEmptyMovieClip(oldbox._name, oldbox.getDepth()); The old movieclip keeps existing and neither of them animates.So I'm searching for a way to replace a movieclip or clear it's content at runtime.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Display Object Depth?
May 8, 2010I have a Flash application that includes an MC (bitmap object) that is dynamically assigned to a Class. In that Class, other graphics are created, but the class MC is overlapping those graphics. Event though I tried dynamic depth swapping, it generally works, yet not for the inherent MC assigned to the class. The MC still overlaps the other graphic, even if I have swapped that graphic to the top depth

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Size Of Mask In Slider To Display More Items
Jul 14, 2011I found this tutorial: [URL]. It works great but I wanted to add a little more to it. Currently it works with only one item displayed at a time. If I want to display more than one item, let say 2, I make the mask the size of the 2 items. The back button works fine because the X position is still the the same. However the next button does not account for the size of the mask and works like it did before.

But at rare times, one movieclip will spawn at the exact spot another movieclip is in and use that depth, making the old movieclip invisible (but still active and moving around).

What i'm trying to accomplish is when you select an item to drag it should take the highest depth, and should appear over all other draggable items. Right now the first clip is always under all of them while the last is getting the highest.
