I have some dynacmicaly drawn clips at different depths all with the same instance name. ("Line") How can i make reference to a certain one at a certain depth pending on if the mouse is over it?
View 1 RepliesSometimes (too often...) some webservices "hang". I can see the clock cursor in my app and the network monitor of FB2 shows the webservice as "pending". After waiting a long time, the status changes to "OK" and the clock cursor disappears. How can I find out why a webservice takes sometimes minutes while it usually takes not even a second?
My webservices run on my localhost during development using the Zend AMF Server.
Could you take a look at this site , it's official web site of Coraline animated movie , is there any related article or tutorial to do such navigation technique [URL] If not i will try to explain , layers of movieclips are ordered in z direction when you move your mouse in x & y they move based on depth like semi 3d side walk games

View 11 RepliesI am using AS 3 Flash CS4, WIndows XP SP3. I am unable to use the Mouse.hide(); method in many of my scripts. If I add Mouse.hide() to a preexisting script, I get the following error; line1 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method hide through a reference with static type Class. If I add Mouse.hide():void; to a preexisting script, I get the following error: line1 Label must be a simple identifier Once this has happened, if I then remove ALL lines of script from the file...but leave the Mouse.hide(); [or Mouse.hide():void;], and also remove all objects from the stage, when I run the file, I still get those same errors.

I'm having this frustrating error showing up and I have no idea why. Let me show you my classes and see if you can spot anything wrong.
First, here's my ILode interface:
ActionScript Code:
package com.schelterstudios.lodeSystem.flash.lodescode].....
So the problem I'm having is the compiler is throwing that 1000: Ambiguous reference error for any reference to instance.priority or instance.label. Why??? Instance is typed to IFlexLodeInstance, and IFlexLodeInstance lists method signatures of priority and label getters, and it inherits ILode, which lists method signatures for priority and label setters. What can I do to get the compiler to stop complaining?
My code is an external .as file. Google provides this code on their demo, which contains the this keyword:
[Code]...
Notice that I have 4 calls to console.log. The first 3 fire, but after the new GATracker statement, the 4th does not fire. I have a feeling that I'm overriding the entire package with the object created from new GATracker when I should be passing a different context. I believe the correct context I should pass is whatever this defaults to when not inside of a package/external file, I assume it references the main stage object.
package uk.co.bigroom.utils

In this Class, how they denote one as Weak Reference and one as Strong reference.

View 3 Repliesi have this drag and drop thing basically when i drop the item on top of its slot i want it to do a hittest to set the depth to a number assigned to it. so lets say I drag an item called Item to a spot called slot i want it to do like item on hit test to slot set depth(2) lets say.

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to see if a depth is already being used by a movieclip before assigning it to another movieclip? I have a game where there are hundreds of movieclips moving around on screen at the same time and changing depths every time they move. 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).

I'm running a loop that's creating a multiple movieclips. Each clip can be dragged to drop point on the screen. 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.

How can I set the depth for a movieclip.Actually I want my popup to always come on the top and there is some problem using swapdepth.Would it help setting the depth of movieclip to be something like 10000??
View 1 RepliesI've got an isometric view of a flat surface. On this surface there are various characters running around and I obviously need to control the depths of each object.
My flat surface needs to be used in two views: top-bottom + isometric.
The original mc is generated in the flat top-bottom mode. For the isometric view, that same mc gets distorted: this way the whole XY coordinates system gets distorted too.
Have a look at this (updated).
So i'd need to create this extra coordinate (is it the classic Z-depth?), and manage to gather information about it...
Does anyone know what the formula would be to calculate the depths of each character (red lines)?
Whenever I create a MovieClip in the IDE and draw on it with the IDE then use ActionScript to add more to it (add a Sprite, draw graphics etc..) the thing I added is always behind the graphics of the MovieClip that was drawn in the IDE. How do I bring the Sprite/Graphics that I draw/add to the MovieClip in front of the graphics that were drawn with the IDE?I have tried doing this:
Code:
var myMC:mcDemo = new mcDemo(); //mcDemo being a MovieClip created in the IDE.
var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();[code]...
The final product of this is the myMC movieclip on the screen with my sprite behind whatever I drew in the IDE for myMC. How do I make it so the sprite is in front of everything? I have tried setting it to numChildren-1 which should set it in front of all objects.
I have a slide show of images for my banner that is loaded through the use of a component in my library. The component merely swaps images with a fade out/in as a transition. Now, that is working fine, the thing that i am having a problem with is that i can not place an graphic/text on top of the component. I what the banner to be in the background. What do I have to add to the component to insure that it will always load in the back, not infront of the text, graphic, etc..
