I have an array of MovieClips on the screen and when I hover over each of them, a tooltip is displayed but how do I bring the tooltip movieclip to the front of the stage so it's not hidden behind the other MovieClips that are already on stage?
View 1 RepliesI 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'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:
[Code]...
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 :
[AS]
var A:Array=[a1, a2, a3];// container

I 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.

View 2 Repliesi have 7 buttons inside an MC in a row next each other, when the mouse rollover each of it zooms 20%. Now the problem starts when the button you're hoving over is zoomed, the button next to it cuts into the image. in the order they where inserted I want the button you're zooming over to always display as the top layer - bring to front -.
i read of a code:
btn.swapDepths(1);
to change the depth of the movie clip
and:
trace(btn.getDepth());
to get the initial depth of the button putting it at a higher or lower depth than the other buttons will either place the button behind or in front of the other buttons ...play around with depths untill you figure it out.
I've a movieclip that contains two buttons. Buttons have a border appearing on roll over.The problem is that the border (which are fairly large highlights for both buttons) overlaps one of the button.What I want to do it that when one of the button is rolled over its index is set to a higher number than the other button and then back to normal upon roll out.

I have a wipe transition of a photo, and underneath that, another photo. So that when the MC is run, what the viewer sees is the underlying scene photo progressively (but quickly) being wiped over by the gradual revelation of a another pict. Now I want to programmatically move the underlying ("wiped over") layer to the top. The underlying scene photo occupies the lower layer. I've tried turning the wipe collection of mask and photo for one layer into one symbol, and the other pict scene into another symbol. But for the life of me I don't understand how the code for each goes into the layer tree. Or whether scoping out the symbols as I've postulated is even the right way to proceed.
The board doesn't allow for the ability to post the (f-) file, so there's no way I can ask if anyone can show me how to weave the code into the Timeline area. Also I'd like to direct the program to bring the lower layer to the top under certain conditions. There are no examples anywhere for how to programmatically do this for CS4. There was a CS3 way to do like this (this is a mouse rollover sample):

i've been receiving a ton of help here and love it but Im having a really bad time fixing this one part of an infographic im making. i need to do the following in a flash cs4/as2.0 file:
1.) make all boxes draggable on the stage
2.) on click/hover bring layer to the front.
var city_arr:Array = new Array(THIS CONTAINS A LIST OF ALL MY CITIES I AM USING AS MY NAMING CONVENTION);

How can I implement this? I tried to use: (this.numChildren - 1)But it doesn't work. I want to use this code because I have 8 boxes, each are 100px X 100px. You hover each box and they flip over but the "backside" of these cards are larger in both length and width than the front. When they flip over they overlap the neighbouring card. I'm looking for some sort of script so that I can tell each card to align itself above the other cards on the stage.
View 20 RepliesI've developed a website and on the home page there is a series of css/ javascript dropdown hyperlinks. Some of these hyperlinks display a popup menu of further links on mousemover. Immediately below the hyperlinks is a small flash movie.
The problem is, when you mouseover the links and it displays the popup links, the flash movie appears OVER the drop links.
Is there a way I can either send the flash movie to the back using some kind of 'send to back' option like there is in dreamweaver? Surely I don't have to restructure my page to allow for this?
I've got a mega tight deadline and I need to figure out how to bring a button to the front when it is rolled over. I have a scene with six buttons. When each button is rolled over the roll over state contains a movie that runs and animation that 'grows' the button to reveal other information. The problem I have is the 'depth' each of these buttons are on. The top button works fine and goes over the other buttons, but the bottom level button expands below all the other buttons. If you look at the attached screen grabs you will see what I mean. What is the actionscript 3.0 I need to use and where and how do I apply it?

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 RepliesIve seen some code, but I haven't understood it. I am trying to do a website with images which are at the same time buttons to a slideshow of the pictures. I just found out that my problem is that some of the images are crossing each other very badly when you move your mouse over them. (the pictures when you go over them with your mouse turn colored and have white borders on them, but as some images have the same border its not displaying it right.)
