Flash :: Scaling Onstage MovieClip With "scaleX" Breaks Timeline Animation?
Nov 3, 2009I'm scaling onstage MovieClips via AS properties "scaleX" or "scaleY", which kills any kind of animation the clips have within their container MovieClip, be it Classic or Motion Tweens. When I don't scale the MovieClips, they animate fine. I'm able to tell the clips to "gotoAndStop" on their own internal frames, and that doesn't affect their animation within their container clip. I'm referencing the clips via AS w/ their instance names defined in the IDE. I've also tried different clips and recreated them, getting the same behavior.
Is it possible to scale a clip via AS and still have it animate within its container timeline?
Does applying an AS property to an onstage instance somehow dissassociate it from other timeline properties?

Flash :: Element Stays On Stage After Manipulating The Index(depth)?
Mar 24, 2010Here is the problem I have: after I change the index of one movieclip using this code
oldIndex=getChildIndex(DisplayObject(e.target));
setChildIndex(DisplayObject(e.target), numChildren - 1);
when I give the object its old index
setChildIndex(DisplayObject(e.target), oldIndex);
and go to another frame of the movie, this element I have changed the index of stays on top of all elements on the new frame. My question is am I doing something wrong and if not, what can I do so that this element stays only in the frame it is placed.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Change Depth Of MovieClip?
Jul 13, 2011Im trying to change the depth or index of a movieclip when its click. And bring it to the top of everything. The problem is that the movie clip is not added by addChild, but nested in a frame.
so if i try and use any of these:
anyMC.parent.setChildIndex(anyMC, anyMC.parent.numChildren-1);
or public function bringMCToFront($mc:MovieClip){ $mc.parent.setChildIndex($mc, $mc.parent.numChildren-1);}
by it gives me this error: Error #1065: Variable setChildIndex is not defined.

ActionScript 3.0 :: General Bitmap Depth / Index
Feb 4, 2012I was wondering what's the best way to manage an images depth. Currently I have 2 layers. On the top layer I have a png image of a window. The inside of the window frame is transparent so you can see though it. On the bottom layer I have a png image of a background that you cannot see though. I used addChild(MyMovieClip); to put an image onto the stage. It is in front of the window. I used addChildAt(MyMovieClip, 0); and the image ended up behind the background. I used addChildAt(MyMovieClip, 1); and the image ended up in front of the window again.

Actionscript 3 :: Control The Depth (z Index) Of Bordercontainer In Flex?
Mar 3, 2012i'm desperately trying to set my border container the highest z-index so it will always appear on top.
how can I know how many objects are in my flex stage, so i'll be able to set the bordercontainer the highest depth? what shell i write in the depth property in order the border container would always be on top? (it's important to mention that i created dynamic objects)
<s:BorderContainer includeIn="state2" width="200" height="200" backgroundColor="#992F2F"
horizontalCenter="-61" verticalCenter="23" depth.state2=currentState.num>
</s:BorderContainer>
Actionscript 3 :: Managing Depth - Any Property / Function That Sets Z-index?
Jul 31, 2010I have a 3D field with many MovieClips in it, and seems like the one last added is the one that overlaps others and not the one with highest z value. Is there any property/function that sets z-index? (sorting children by z value seems too much like a hack). A 3D engine that can place MovieClips will be helpful(but not one that requires custom drawing). I'm using Flash CS5 with ActionScript 3

View 2 RepliesActionscript :: IDE - Moving To Frame 2 Breaks Animation
Oct 7, 2009Let's start off by saying that I am the greenest of green newcomers to the world of Flash and Actionscript. I have created several animations based off of the great camera movement tutorial found here: [URL]Everything works great when I have my actionscript code in a single frame environment. However, I am currently trying to figure out how to create a simple menu/welcome screen that will allow the user to choose which animation to play before returning to the menu and choosing another. When I move my code to frame 2 (as I am trying to create my menu on frame 1), my animation does not work correctly. As I am so new to this, I'm afraid there are very basic concepts I do not understand and this is preventing me from effectively researching and troubleshooting this problem on my own.
Using the Kirupa racing example tutorial files, if I simply move the actionscript to frame 2 I see a continuous loop which seems to include the initial placement of the scene's components, but it doesn't stay in the frame to allow for any camera movement or to continue with the animation. This makes sense to me, as it is continuously looping between frames 1 and 2. When I attempt write this code on Frame 1: gotoAndPlay(2);, I simple see static images of the scene's elements (the tire and the car) and no animation. I had expected it to play as normally as it does when the actionscript is located on Frame 1. What basic concepts am I missing here and does anybody have any advice on how I should proceed?

Jun 19, 2009My question. How do I control a movie clips FPS independently of the main time line. I believe in the previous version of Flash this was not possible but I think it can be done with CS4 with AS3.
I have five images with motion add to them. One fades out while the next fades in. To get this to work slower then the main time line I would have to add a lot of frame for that movie clip to not run so fast. Which this will make the file size larger.
I need this movie clip to run at say 12 FPS instead of the 24 the main timeline is running at.
