I have a movieclip with an instance name of "logo_mc" on the timeline. I have a pixel overlay covering the entire stage being implemented via actionscript.
A visual representation of this can be viewed when full screen is selected on this link:

I need the movieclip to be brought in front of the as3 implemented overlay.
Im new to Flash and am working on a small project and have come across a problem. I dont know how best to describe it but I will give it a go. On one frame I have multiple buttons. I want the 'down' frame of the button to come up as a bitmap image over the entire frame, however when I try to do this, when I click on the button the image shows up but is behind all the other buttons on the page. Is there anyway around this or do I need a new approach?

I am designing a page with over 20 thumbnail picture buttons on one single layer. When a thumbnail button is rolled over a larger picture will appear on the center above all of the content. How do I make the larger rollover image appear above all the buttons and content (without making a layer for 20+ thumbnails)?
So, I have a line of buttons that pop up when moused over. Unfortunately, due to their proximity to one another, I have a lot of overlap occurring. Is there a way to bring the activated button in front of the others via as?
View 8 RepliesAnother simple question here. I have 2 objects next to each other. On mouseover I have them enlarge. I would like to make it so that whatever object is being enlarged is brought to the front. Here is my code.

How can I make the obj change to front of another when the mouse roll over, and come back when out? I look for "setChildIndex with tween" but I don't found...
View 12 Repliesi have the below code, which is basically animating object across the screen, when roll-over happens it pauses the anim, and displays some information. Everything works fine, but when its paused, i wold like that current object to be 'on top' so other items run behind. I have looked at setChildIndex, but didn't have much luck.

I have a menu set up that has about 20 menu items in a circle. When you mouse over each item, a title comes up. The only problem is that because of the depth order, it's hidden behind the other menu items.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create an image class that I can reuse throughout a website I'm making.
When you click an image i want it to expand to fill the screen. When this happens obviously it will have to be at the top of the display list so that none of the other objects on the website are above it. The problem is that I want to be able to use this class throughout the website, even within containers that are beneath other objects so it seems impossible to simply bring it to the front easily?
Edit: Maybe when you click an image it would create a replica on top of the current image but above all the other objects on the main stage - then expand that one instead of the original image in the container? Theres got to be a better method though... I can't imagine this working too smoothly.
I implemented a bitmap overlay (just what I call it) using this code:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
var bmpd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(2, 2, true, 0);
bmpd.setPixel32(0, 1, 0xff000000);
bmpd.setPixel32(1, 0, 0xff000000);

This, as you can see if you place it in a keyframe and test a movie, produces a pixel effect that spans the stage width and height. I have an image underneath this (in a movieclip) which is fine. But I also have a piece of text (also in a movieclip), which is hard to read with the overlay over it. I need a way to order the movieclip with the text placed in it over the top of the bitmap overlay shown above via AS3 I should imagine.
I have created a image gallery. There's a image scroller, when clicking an image it show large image on the same layer. I insert the image to this layer like this: addImage("image url", x, y, this). addImage is my own function witch works fine. In the begin of code I create movieclip (var controls:MovieClip;). When I'm inserting images to that, I want to bring the movieclip to front. Because that large image is added after the controls, it will be on the top.
View 6 RepliesI have 4 movieclips on my "layer1". Everytime my mouse is onRollOver of a movieclip, I just want THIS movieclip coming to the FRONT, that's to say the Highest Depth.
(in Visual Basic, "ZOrder(0)" is simple.. but harder in ActionScript.. lol )
I've found some many examples "around" this, but did'nt success to adapt the code to my simple needs !
bring object to the front flash (code snippets)-- How can I make this a rollover rather than requiring the user click on the object i.e. they just need to move cursor on top of the object and it will be brought forward.

View 2 RepliesI'm having reel trouble trying to bring a movieclip to the front using setChildIndex. I have 3 movieclips that are being loaded into a movieclip that sits on the stage. I'm using:

i added three MovieClips(say, b1, b2, b3) into two different containers (say, a1, a2, a3) respectively using startDrag(), stopDrag(), hitTestObject() and addChild().I want to add them into one another. ike say :- b1 in a2 or a3b2 in a1 or a3 or vise versa.Now my problem is that, when i again start dragging a movieclip b1 in a1 to add it in other container a2 or a3, the movieClip is behind the other two containers. So i cant detect hitTest() on other containers.ut when i drag movieClip b3 on containers a1 or a2, it is on the front of them and hitTest() can be detected.
My code :

var A:Array=[a1, a2, a3];// container

I have some text placed on the 'canvas' in Flash. I also draw some stuff in an onEnterFrame function on the main timeline. The stuff I draw in the onEnterFrame gets placed behind the text I have on the canvas. I'd really like to have the stuff I draw in front, but I don't know how to accomplish this.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to use setChildIndex() to bring the current movieClip to the front. I have the following code on the first frame of the TimeLine. setChildIndex(currentMovieClip,numChildren - 1); And am getting the following errors. Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 20 1093: Syntax error. Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 20 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before 1. Should I be using stage or something else is wrong?

View 1 RepliesI have a game set up like so:
DOCUMENT CLASS -->
MASTER LEVEL -->
LEVEL OBJECTS
The MASTER LEVEL is a child of the DOCUMENT CLASS and the LEVEL OBJECTS are a child of the MASTER LEVEL
The MASTER LEVEL is just a border which also shows the time that has passed. The LEVEL OBJECT are stuff like the player and the finish.
The problem is that I can make the player and finish swap depths using setChildIndex but I don't know how to bring the master level in front of its children? Is this even possible or will I have to make a level container that is the parent of the LEVEL OBJECTS and also the MASTER LEVEL. So that the MASTER LEVEL, the finish and the player are all siblings (sort of).
So I am trying to bring a movieClip in front of its movieClip children.
Is there someway that you can arrange movieclips in as3? Like when you right click on it and you can arrange "Send to back", "Send to front". For example I've exported 2 Mc:s to as3 and made a new instance in as3 by referring to the class I exported. So is there someway I can decide which one to put infront of the other one? If it's confusing my goal is to at some point bring one of the Mc:s to the front, and on another point bring the other MC so the front.
View 1 Replieswhat the line of code would be-- where having made several buttons, on rollover, scales their respective image. However, on scaling, these images are arranged according to their layers and would therefore be obscured by text or an adjacent image.How could I make it so that everytime I rollover the hotspot, the image will scale and automatically arrange itself to the front of everything? Is there anything to do with its depth and setting its properties?
View 3 RepliesI am using TweenLight and want to animate a MC. I create the MC, give it an instance name and can animate as such as long as the MC is on the stage.
Code:
TweenLite.to(Test_MC, 1, {x:300, alpha:1, scaleX:1.5, scaleY:1.5, delay:2});
but when I delete the MC from the stage I get an access of undefined property error. I want to bring the MC in an out of the stage when needed. How can I?
I've created an animated button in flash cs3, and wanted to bring my work onto a webpage/dreamweaver. HOWEVER, I only want to import the button, NOT the entire SWF file... JUST THE BUTTON... HELP!! I am using dreamwaver cs4, and want to know how, the only thing I know how to do on dreamweaver is bring in the whole movie clip, but this just won't do...

The animator said that he has created two symbols: one for the body, and another symbol inside the body symbol for the head.What I don't understand is how he translated the layers over into the head symbol. When I click on the head symbol, all of the layers disappear and I cannot edit an object individually within a layer.
I'm using the following code to bring in external images, however, I would like the images to come in and be behind everything else instead of placing themselves on top of everything.
