ActionScript 2.0 :: Swap Depths - If I Click On The Space Between The Nested Clips In The Top Clip It Actually Is Hitting The Buttons(movieclips) On The Other Clip Under It?
Apr 11, 2007
I have two main clips with clickable clicks within each. I am using swapDepths on the two main clips in a tab navagation fashion. The problem is that if I click on the space between the nested clips in the top clip it actually is hitting the buttons(movieclips) on the other clip under it. Any suggestions?

I've realized that I am unable to swap depths between _root. and nested mc's based on its _y axis.For example, I use this code:
Code:
_root.player.onEnterFrame =function() {
this.swapDepths(this._y-230)

is it possible to swap depths for multiple movie clips at the same time? how about swapping for negative depths? or will that kind of thing lead me into probs later?

I have this script I am writing where when someone hovers over a button it displays a popup box until they roll off. I have that function working alright, but I need the movie clips to swap depths, I realize I can do this with setChildIndex but I'm running into a small problem with my children/parent situation.
My items are added as such:
root > color_mc (blue or red or whatever) > button (this is the hover)
I have the event listener added to the button for each color, but I need it so that when the button is rolled over, it takes the color_mc and moves it to the -1 spot. I've tried writing the code a number of ways but can't seem to get it.
Code:
function manageMouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
var parentClip = event.target.parent.name;
parentClip.setChildIndex(parentClip, parentClip.numChildren - 1);
event.target.parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
That code gives me the following error:
Error #1069: Property numChildren not found on String and there is no default value.

I am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?

It's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.

I have a movie clip on the main timeline called "map," w/ tons of nested clips. On an actions layer on the Main Timeline I have the following:
map.nestedClip.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 50;
};
the rollover event fires, but the alpha reduction does not. I replaced the alpha = 50, with a trace statement, and was successful, plus I get the hand when I roll over the movie clip, so I know that the event is registering. However, when I place the same code directly on the instance, it works fine. I thought the only difference between placing code on the timeline and directly on an instance was a matter of convention, and that timeline code is generally a better practice.

that said, i have a simple movie clip animating that i want the user to be able to click different buttons to cycle through different versions of this movie clip. so, my question is, how do i allow the user to click one of these 4 buttons, and have the movie clip change to the corresponding version of that movie clip? again, this is all pretty basic stuff and i'd like to keep it as simple as possible, since i'm still new!

I want to loop through a movie clip and assign a function to each of the clip's child movieclips. when i do a for...in loop and then do a typeof() trace I get "string" and obviously it won't let me assign lets say 'onRollOver' functions to the children.

ts an interactive gallery where when a photo is selected it plays the movie clip and the photo grows to fill the screne. The problem is, since the animations take part within the movie clips and all the movie clips exist on the same layer when they are selected and grow to fill the screne they are being hidden behind all the movieclips infront of it in that layer I know that there is an action to bring movieclips to the highestdepth or to front on click/release but i do not have a clue where to start

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

*I can't post the file due to the company policy, so I'll do my best to explain. 3 movie clips: slide 1, 2, and 3. Each loads an external image.
Layers (how I have them set up):
slide 1
slide 2
slide 3
The slides have a 3d feel, as if they are in the distance. When the user clicks one, the slide(mc) motion-tweens towards the screen, while the other 2 stay back. Obviously, if slide 2 comes towards the screen then slide 1 will be over top of it DUE TO layer structure (above). And of course, 1 & 2 will be over slide 3. To get around this I made a "current" layer over top of all the slide layers. So if I click on slide 2/3 then the tween is up on the "current" layer instead of the "slide 2/3" layer so that it's the highest.

Its been a while since I've done anything in AS3. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I am working on a type of menu where there are 6 cards and on roll over of one of the cards it is brought to the front of the stack. What is the correct method of doing this in AS3? Can someone post a quick example or point me in the right direction to a link that does a good job covering this. I did a quick search and didn't find anything right away that did a good job explaining so I thought I would head over to AS.org

This should be interesting in explaining what it is i'm looking for. I have multiple buttons on top of each other. And when the hit state on the other side of the screen is rolled over the text will change, which are all overlapping each other. Would swap depths be the best answer for this to bring the one I'm rolling over to the top? And how would I implement it into my for Loop? I'm using the for Loop for my navigation:

I'm trying to find a way to integrate swap depths with map scrolling. Here is my current code:
SWF:
[URL]
Code:
var mapItem:Array = new Array(_root.tree1, _root.building1, _root.keith,_root.shinru);
mapControl = function () {
_root.player.swapDepths(_root.player._y);
[code]....
The problem lies within the fact that the bounds are pushing away the player too fast for Flash to finish cycling through the array of items.

I am making a photo gallery with thumbnails and when the mouse rolls over them, they increase in size. Problem: when they increase, they do not cover the other thumbnails completely, since it is only an _xscale percentage increase and not a new movie clip. So you can see all the other thumbnails over the increased photo size. It is a problem of swapping depths I'm sure--but do I have to take off all the thumbnails from the main level and load them dynamically onto different levels in order to be able to swap depths?
