ActionScript 2.0 :: Loaded Movies With Main Swf And Then Be Able To Swap Them When They Are Pressed
Feb 27, 2004I simply want to call in some loaded movies with my main swf and then be able to swap them when they are pressed. When I load my external movies into the main movie should I be putting them in separate "empty" clips? If I don't, each time I load a movie it replaces the current movie in the "empty" clip. Where do I put the code that will make the movie that is pressed come to the front? On the movie that is coming in? or the movie that it is loading into? It seems that a simple my_mc.swapDepth(x) should work? For (x) I would like to specify a number because there might be more than two clips that I would like to load in....

Aug 28, 2010ts 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
View 5 RepliesSwap Depths: Not Working With Animation
Jul 31, 2009*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.

Jan 10, 2012Its 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

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: SetChildIndex - Getting MovieClips To Swap Depths
Oct 4, 2011I 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.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Navigation ForLoop Swap Depths
Jun 30, 2009This 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:

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Xscale Larger When OnRollOver / But Need To Swap Depths
Jan 4, 2004I 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?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Externally Loaded Swf Does Not Stay Loaded?
Feb 16, 2006I am loading an externally loaded swf that uses a mask to transition in. When the user clicks a different button I am doing a gotoAndPlay that goes to a mask that "unloads" the content (it doesnt actually unload the info is just outside of the mask area. As soon As I jump to that section the movie is no longer loaded and just shows the container clip that I had created for it. The Container Clip is never changed and is the same throughout the whole process. The only thing that changes is the mask animation.I have tried both loadClip and loadMovie but no luck on keeping the clip loaded.
EDIT - I have narrowed it down. When I change the mask movieclip the movie unloads for some reason. Is there a way I can keep it loaded?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Swap 2 Dynamically Loaded MovieClip?
Feb 5, 2009I put 2 container named mcContiner1, and mcContainer2
And
var mcImg1:MovieClip;

I want to swap these 2 images, that is I want mcImg1 can be displayed in mcContainer2, and mcImg2 can be displayed in mcContainer1, of course the easiest way is I load these 2 picture again, but of course, it's not the answer I expected, also, we can move the movie clip to make the change, I still think it's not the best method, because it will make program too complex.
Actionscript 3 :: Stopping An Externally Loaded Swf From "playing" When Another External Swf Is Loaded?
Nov 8, 2011I have a homepage with five "links" to each swf. Now the first swf I have a custom cursor that hides the mouse. When I click on that link it plays and when I quickly go to the homepage again it hides the mouse there when it's not supposed to do it.
Same with every other link. When I was busy with the first swf and want to go to the last swf of the five, my mouse just disappears! It is almost as if it keeps on "playing" without seeing the swf...
Here is the code that I have so far!

Resizing Externally Loaded SWF?
Dec 23, 2009i'm having some "big" issues with what seems like a pretty easy flash concept. But, im pretty green when it comes to coding in flash.
I have a SWF thats being externally loaded into another SWF file (see code below):
on(release) {
loadMovie("test1.swf",_root.dropZone);
}
(If i'm understanding the above code correctly...its loading the SWF into a blank MC i created called dropZone) This part seems to work correctly when tested.
I've got 4 different SWF's that need to be loaded seperatley when its coresponding button is clicked. The issue arises when I import the external SWF file...it resizes itself to the size of the flash stage. I need all the SWFs to be loaded and remain there original size (1257x847) or be scaled to the correct size. Then if I click another button it should load the new SWF and "unload" the old SWF.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Remove .flv From Externally Loaded .swf?
Aug 7, 2009With the assistance of a very kind member of this forum, I have got as far as getting an .FLV to load into my API via its own .SWF.
[URL]
click on "Animalia - Verse from the Zoo" to load the VideoPlayer .swf which contains the .FLV
I will add more functionality when I've solved this. Now that I have a Video Player which closes, the next set of hurdles to overcome are these:
Click "Close" with the .FLV playing and the sound keeps playing because the .FLV is still playing. Click "Close" with the .FLV paused and when you call the player back, it plays from the same spot. So, my tiny brain says it's an "add/removeChild" issue. Obviously when happy user clicks "Close" and then re-loads by clicking "Animalia", happy user wants the video to play from scratch. That's what I want, anyway. Not from where it left off after clicking "Close". I've made several attempts at adding a "remove FLV" object to the function and Event Dispatch method, but what I did is wrong because the code I put in removed the .FLV permanently and when you call the player back by clicking on "Animalia", the .FLV does not play at all. I'm going round in circles looking for the correct NetStream/removeChild/unload.nsplay/etc/etc .. AS3 coding and where to put it.
My .FLV video load object on "NewPlayer.swf" is:
var myVideo:Video = new Video(360, 264);
addChild(myVideo);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
[Code].....
My questions is:- What is the correct coding to get the VideoPlayer .swf to unload its .FLV completely, SO THAT when a user clicks "Close". Either with or without the .FLV playing, everything closes completely and when re-loaded, the video plays from scratch?
