Does anyone know how I'd go about moving MCs (that are dynamically added to the stage via code) through the Z axis?
I am using a fair few visual layers and some MCs when moved around are behind others. I wanted to re-arrange the layer priorities of them, if that makes sense?
I am trying to construct coordinates with distance in meters on the x-axis and time in seconds on the y-axis, without using the timeline. How can I draw the divisions on the x-axis and y-axis ? Or I better draw the whole thing.
var my_shape:Shape = new Shape();addChild(my_shape);
my_shape.graphics.lineStyle(3, 0xFF0000, 1);my_shape.graphics.moveTo(50,50);my_shape.graphics.lineTo(50, 300);my_shape.graphics.lineTo(500, 300);
I'm trying to grasp how functions and motion tweening works.
Heres my question. How do i make an object move along the y axis once it has reached its x axis target?
HEre is the code, that i got from here.
and what in this code is making the MC ease out?[code]...
I've put together this simple code for an SWF with three roll over images (called: Training, Resources and Contact).When I roll over Training I would like the symbol Training_txt to tween its alpha to 1 (from 0) and tween its y axis to 220 (from 83).When I roll out of Training I would like to run the two tweens in reverse.
This works fine for each of the three roll over images, so long as each tween is allowed to fully execute before a new tween is started. The problem arises if i quickly move the mouse curser between the three roll over images before the previous tweens have finished executing.In this instance, the tweened objects start to behave erratically. They usually return to their original position as per the roll_out tween but then start jumping between y axis 200 and y axis 83 (without tweening - they just appear).
Code below -
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code]..........
I'm making a chart where the x-axis needs to have dates and y-axis names. The lenght of the bar is longer when the date is later. But I want to stack multiple bars on eachother. for example This is the code I have so far

Based on this Adobe multiple axis chart example: [URL]
Then I changed some data values to negative and my axis became not aligned anymore.
how to align vertical axis? Is this another Adobe bug or there is some property that aligns axis?

I would like to know if flash can allow the user to arrange elements (in a published swf) on the stage and "lock" their positions so that if the swf is reopened or reset, it will retain the new arrangement. How would you describe this feature?
View 1 RepliesI want to know if there is a faster way to take several bitmaps and arrange them one after another in a single layer in a movie clip.
This is how I am doing it currently.
Stage 1: Import the bitmaps to the stage
Stage 2: Distribute the bitmaps to layers
Stage 3: Make the first bitmap a movie clip symbol and cut the other bitmaps' frames
Stage 4: Go into the symbol, create a new layer, and paste the frames.
Stage 5: Click and drag the other frames into one layer, one after the other.
I now have a single movie clip with all my bitmaps ordered one after the other in the timeline.
I am using IFrame and adding it dynamically, and it hides a new Alert.show and a previously made TitleWindow.How do I arrange it to go back or to make that Alert or window on top of all ?

And also if some of the movieclip I import by script and some are imported by dragging from library, how can I define which is in a upper position?

I'm trying to arrange symbols on the stage but there's just one symbold that will not arrange to go backward. I've tried remaking the symbol with a new picture and a different instance and it still hasn't worked.
View 1 RepliesI notice in flash the Modify > Arrange option seems to be buggy and work only sometimes. I have a few shapes on the same layer and wanted to arrange them on top of each other in different order and it doesn't work... The shapes were created with shape tool and pen too as drawing objects.
I would have to go the extreme, either I would have recreate the shape to be recognized by the program or cut and paste into a new layer and transfer back down to the single layered that was needed. illustrator has the exact same option with no problems.

I have this site i am puting together and it uses php and mysql to create all of my project buttons. i am able to list all of them but i need help with the duplicatemovieclip where after every 6th button the next ones appear 147 more pixels to the right. i got it to work by using simple "if" statements but i would like it to be able to do it by itself.when i add more elements more columns get added too.here is my script that i use:

projects = new LoadVars();
projects.onLoad = function() {
num = projects.numRows;[code].....

I am looking for a script which would it make possible to arrange different movieclips on/arround a vector object. let me explain a bit better what i mean:imagine you have 6 different illustration of flowers, all seperate movieclips.then i have an object like for example the siluette of a man in vector format. now i would like to load like 4000 copies of the flower-movieclips on top of the siluette with a little bit of random so the flowers form in a way the siluette.
View 6 RepliesIm creating a menu of 10 items and I want to arrange their x and y positions without writing too many lines of code... so this is what i got so far.
Code:
//these are my menu items that are reference by their ids
menuItems = new Array(menu1, menu2, menu3, menu4, menu5, menu6, menu7, menu8, menu9, menu10);
//this is the function that position the menu items the first time the app launches
private function arrange():void
[code]....
so what i want to do now is lets say i select menu item 2... if that's the case, i want to move the other items down x amount of pixels by its y position...and keep menu item 1 in its default place... i hope this makes sense... is there a short way to do this to avoid repetitive coding?

I have a movie the attaches movie clip linkages to an array with buttons, the idea is to attach the clip to the stage and when you attach another clip ,the one one the stage moves down in the y position 25 px to allow the next movie to go in its space.I cant seem to get the movie to drop down and all the clips stay at the same y coordinate.I have tried using a variable to update the y value also to hard code the y value nothing seems to work below
var warnArray = [""];
mybtn.onRelease = function() {

I have a little problem with a gallery that I am building. I have to arrange the thumbnails on 2 lines like this:
thumb_1 thumb_2 thumb_3 thumb_4
thumb_5 thumb_6 thumb_7 thumb_8
I am using a for loop because the array of images can be different depending on the users request.
So I'm loading in an external swf using typical code from a tutorial or something, and I want to have a menu button that sits on top of the external swf. When this button is clicked, the external swf is closed and my program continues. I have everything working, except that I cannot seem to figure out how to get the button on top of the swf.
Since the external swf is created via code, but the button has been manually created in flash, they aren't children of the same displayobject, so I can't seem to use the setChildIndex() call. I either need to figure out how to load the external swf into a manually created movie clip, or I need to create a copy of my menu button and create a duplicate of it as a sibling of the external swf; neither of which I know how to do.
I may be making this much harder than it should be. What I'm trying to do is create a navigation system which starts with for example a main navigation button named about us. On rollover, I want it to call a prototype that displays my subnavigation one button following the next. The code I have so far is as follows:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.makemenu = function(thearray) {
for (i=1; i<=thearray.length; i++) {
textdisplay.text = textdisplay.text + thearray[i];
[Code]....
The array that I'm passing contains instance the names of the three subnavigation buttons that I want to reposition. So ideally, on rolling over the About Us button, I want to drop down the first subnav button, then the second, then the third. Each one would pop down after the previous has finished moving.
