I would like to RUN/LOAD my loaded SWF or Movie Clips BEHIND some existing Masks already designed in a scene or simply arrange theirvisibility position in ActionScript 3 while loading them with CODING only
View 1 RepliesHow can I drag the key frames back within each of the layers below so that they all end on the final scene. Currently when I hit play, the clip runs till the last key frame and the other layers that don't run that length disappear. How can I best fix this?
View 2 RepliesI would like to place a video object above one movieClip instance ("mc"), but below another movieClip instance ("mc_top").
I instantiated the _root.flashVid object by dragging a "New Video..." from the Library to the stage, and giving it the instance name "flashVid".
I create mc, then paint a blue box, then I create mc_top, and paint a yellow box. The flashVid instance is on the Stage (_root) from the beginning. Now how do I get the flashVid above "mc" but below "mc_top"?
// Create movieclips and paint boxes.
var mc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("test",
_root.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.beginFill(0x0000ff, 50);

Don't know if the flash layer on the view stack contain only the compiled flash swf file
View 1 RepliesOn one layer I have a gallery loading the content from an xml file. On the layer above I have two square blocks on either side of the screen, with a gap in the middle for where the main picture will be displayed. The two blocks are 50%percent alpha. This is because the gallery thats loaded, loads the images in a line, which is movable, whereby the user can click either the left or right image and the gallery moves along, displaying the next or previous image into the middle spot where there are no blocks shading it.
View 0 RepliesI want to load jpgs using an external XML file into a flash layer and have a timeline playing over the top of them. I invision having photos loaded to a box on the left side of the stage covering 1/3 of the area, and then loading photos also to a box on the right side of the stage while an animation plays of the clients logo in the middle 1/3 of the stage area. My Action script skills are very limited. I have been able in the pass to modify what I have found on the web to work for my purposes. But, I have not been able to find anything that has multiple players on one stage or anything close. I created a swf that alternates loading an image on left and then right but it plays over the top of ... and then loads a third image behind the client logo in the middle covering the entire stage. But I would be happy with just a left and right alternating if possible.
View 2 RepliesI am loading a swf in my main timeline in Flash CS4 using the AS3.However the movie appears on top of everything else, while I need it to be below everything else.What is the way to specify a layer or order for the loaded swf?
View 2 RepliesI've been using the loader class to import external swf files when I need them. I can position them on the screen where I need them using the:
loader_var.x
and
loader_var.y properties
However something that seems to stump me is how to position the loaded content below other content in the movie. I tried making the layer where I was actually calling my external file below the other layers and yet when I export the Flash movie the clip that I'm importing at run time always ends up on top of every thing. Is there a way to specify which objects imported media comes in above or below?
I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?

i'm using this code to cycle through an array and move the movie clips to x:0, and y:height of clip, times whatever number it is.... if there are 4 objects in the array, object 1 would be 1 times it's own height.... etc... so they're spaced out.
however, when i resize my stage, i'd like to have them arrange differently... into columns... but i'm not sure how to specify breaking them off into columns. i tried something like this:

I'm loading my MC from XML backwards, and its separated by 10 per pages. When it's loaded to the stage it could not be arrange accordingly to grids. And when I click at other pages to let it run another 10 before the previous loaded XML object, it does not add in to the Array(I've clear off the array before reload the XML)[code]my guess on the problem might be the 2 loop which 1 is using ++ and the other -- ?
View 1 RepliesI have 5 images in the middle of the stage with a rollover code that enlarges as you mouse over, and the images are overlapping each other.What I am stuck with is if there is any code or way of making the rolled over images below arrange to the front so the images that were back go to a front state, during the rollover.
View 1 RepliesI have created four menus and have placed in cascading style (ie. overlaping one after another, showing partially the below one), Now I want each menu come above (front)when I click it, (ie, when I click the second, third or the fourth menu, it should come above in 1st place and the 1st menu should get below it). Please let me know how to do this in using actionscript 2.0.
View 1 RepliesI know it's something to do with addChild() and addChildAt() but I don't understand how to get it working as the overlay mc is in the library and the slideshow is dynamically generated ..

I have loaded a bunch of thumbnails into my movie and have the script so that they arrange themselves into a grid.
My question: Within the grid, how can I make their positions slightly irregular, i.e. not all straight!? I'd like to use the Math.random function to change their _x and _y positions, but within the limits of the grid...
Here's the code for the grid (it divides the total number of images from an xml file between 3 rows):
Code:
for(i=0;i<total;i++) {
num = 0;
thmbw = thmb_mc._width;

I have four animated buttons with a design element cross_mc inside of another movie clip content_mc. I need all four buttons to be in front of the cross_mc so I get inside of content_mc to arrange the buttons accordingly (Modify > Arrange > Bring toFront). Everything looks hunky dory until I test the movie in which one of the buttons appears to be always behind of the design thingy no matter what I do...
View 9 RepliesI want to arrange certain objects from a vector/array into a gird
Currently, I know how to do this during the creation of the objects.
Here's the grid function I've created:
function ArrangeInGrid(uiRow:uint, uiCol:uint, iOffsetX:int, iOffsetY:int):void
{
for(var i:uint = 0; i < uiRow; ++i)
{

Now I want to be able to apply the same logic of arranging objects in an array/vector in to a grid, how do I do it?
Or suggest a more efficient way to do so (if you have).
Notes:
I want it to be flexible in how many rows and columns the grid can have. The vector I'm using already has the cards in it. I can't just push the cards into the vector cuz of the way I manually created my cards.
I have an array with names of people randomly selected varying from 10-1000 names into a single array. I was wondering if anyone can point in the right direction on making the array alphabetical order so when I create a drop down box they come out alphabetize
View 2 RepliesI need to put together a really simple flash Quiz for this project I am working on
and I am having a hell of a time figuring out a few key aspects.
1. When working with an array and an xml file, how can I assign the "correct" answer if a user selected the wrong option. Ideally I would love it to say for example " sorry, Egyptians was the correct answer" but would settle for " sorry, 3 was the correct answer" if that is easier to arrange within an array.
2. How can I make it so it marks your first answer and only your first answer (as opposed to how it is now where if you guessed wrong you can keep on guessing until it is right and it will notice the right answer and ignore the wrong)?

I don't want to visually arrange 3D models dragging them with the mouse, all I want is: Given a room of certain dimensions (L,W,H) and given a set of elements like beds, chairs, etc (with L,W,H dimensions, of course) I want to automatically arrange those elements to take advantage of the space as much as I can. So I want to be able to put as much furniture as I can in a given room. At the end I need to represent the arranged items visually, inside the room.
My first thought was to use an array of items and sorting it with array.sortOn(["l","w","h"] Array.NUMERIC) and then define a gap between the objects and make the maths to put the objects one next to another, etc. but that isn't a good approach because some items may be placed on top of another ones (boxes of the same size, boxes on top of tables, etc).
I have an external swf loading on a button and it appears at the bottom right corner of my main, this is a problem cuz its about the same size as my main and so its cut off the screen. Is there a way to position the X and Y coords when it loads?

View 1 RepliesSuppose you have a view, which contains three control A, B and C. The control A and B are in a HGroup, which itself is inside a VGroup with C.
Based on user interaction, I'd like to re-arrange the controls to new layouts. For example all three inside a VGroup. Or for example a layout, which hides A and B and maximizes C in size.
While I could hand-write the code, I'd like to use something like a layout template. A template, which contains placeholders for A, B and C. Give the current view, I'd like to pass the new template and the view should rearrange.
I am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer. That has been fine, but now I want to loop it and I usually put my actions in the top layer. Will this cause a problem? Am I better off just putting my loop action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?
View 3 RepliesIm creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)
Is it possible to create multiple layer masks over a single layer using Actionscript3?Below is the flash effect I wanted to create with masks.First it starts from A and goes to B and C simultaneously.Then from B it goes to H and D simultaneously (the same applies to C).This is how the end result will look like.ps. I need my background to be transparent. I'm embedding it into a web page later.
