ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Object To Lowest Depth?
Mar 18, 2009
When I click on an object, I need it (technically it's parent object) to drop to the lowest level, but I'm having a heck of time. I've tried:
stage.setChildIndex(this, 0);
and
stage.swapChildrenAt(0, getChildIndex(this));
Which seem like they would both do what I want, but both of which get an Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.
I've also tried:
stage.setChildIndex(e.target.parent, 0);
Which produces Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
and stage.setChildIndex(this.parent, 0);
Which doesn't error, but also doesn't do what I want it to do.

Is it possible to keep a movieClip at the lowest depth and stack other movieClips on top. I have a container movieClip that I add a movieClip called floorTile. I want floorTile to always be at level 0 no matter what. Then when I click on another movieClip, I want this to be added on top of the floorTile.
ActionScript Code:
//create a container to hold the floor tile and textures
var myContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip()
myContainer.x=425;

I've coded a background using a duplicate movie method on a small jpg file.
Problem is, with the code i have used, i cant make my background have the LOWEST depth so that everything else in my flash movie is ON TOP of it.
Here is the code:
Code:
tileBG = function () {
tile_width = 15;
tile_height = 15;

I need a function to find the lowest available depth for use in attach movies and such. And I also wanted to ask if running a function like this a lot would be too intensive to be practical.

I have been trying to change the depth of an object. I have only just started learning AS3, so I haven't looked into this yet.So far I have been using a trial-&-error method to try to get this piece of code to work which I found on a site, but I have not succeeded:
Code:
setChildIndex(example,numChildren-1);
I am putting this code in it's class, and I tried replacing the word example with 'this'. Can someone please help me? When I test the swf it comes up with this in output:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/setChildIndex()
at Foreground/enterFrame()

I have a Flash application that includes an MC (bitmap object) that is dynamically assigned to a Class. In that Class, other graphics are created, but the class MC is overlapping those graphics. Event though I tried dynamic depth swapping, it generally works, yet not for the inherent MC assigned to the class. The MC still overlaps the other graphic, even if I have swapped that graphic to the top depth

my designer made a fla file where he has animated layers loads of them. All the images inside those animations are loaded from outside the swf.
Now, the issue is at one point in time I want some of the objects to go under another object ( current their on top) . If I do this visually the images inside the swf(loaded) are lost.

I am drawing some lines in my program using
graphics.lineTo(xx, yy);
The program has a background image over which these lines are drawn.The problem which I am facing is that the image overshadows the lines and the lines are not visible to the user.Since these lines do not have an id, I am not sure as to how I can assign a depth to them?

I am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.

Im working on a small project and it involves a guy which you move with the arrow keys. The arrow keys add to his x, y velocities and his position is updated accordingly. How can i get this man to grab onto an object and spin around it (like when you grab pole and letting your momentum swing you around) . I can make him grab the object but I dont know how to modify his x,y speeds to simulate the arc.

The swf I need to modify from the commonsense approach is below. Because this ad expands when a 120x90 "trigger" is rolled over the client has asked for the ad to start on rollover which I have accomplished with a button on frame 1 with a
on (rollover) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Because people will accidentally rollover this ad and start it playing the client wants the ad to start at a 0 volume level. This way the accidental rollovers can still choose to turn up the volume to hear the commercial if they so choose. I have tried changing the sound level in the AS in a couple places but neither worked. In addition intuitively the slider also needs to be in the 0 position and I have a feeling just moving the graphic instance of the volume button is not the way to go. [URL].
Actionscript for volume control is:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.volumeLevel = 100;
left = _x-50;
right = _x;
top = _y;
bottom = _y;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

I need some AS2 actionscript that I can place on a button to move it to the front on rollover. and move it to the back on rollout.I have two identical buttons on a layer in my timeline. When you roll over a button a larger text box appears ontop of it. The text box is the rollover state on the button, which is a button symbol. This works great in itself, but the problem is that the buttons are place close together and when one button gets rolled over and the text box encroaches on the other button's space. I always want the text box and button you are rolling over to appear in front of the other buttons that are on that layer. But that's not possible, since one button will be in front and one will be behind. Is there some AS2 actionscript that I can place on each of the buttons to move the button you roll over to the front?

I'm new to Flash and just started working on an animated short. In one of the sequences, I realized too late that an object was too far left in the frame and needed to be moved back. Is there a way to do that in all of the keyframes at once rather than doing it one at a time? The thing that needs to be moved is a .png file, not a symbol.

i'm trying to use actionscript so i can make an object move up and down the Y axis by inputing numbers into a textbox. However at the moment my object starts in the centre and then when i enter a number it only goes down, and im not too sure how i can use negative numbers to make it travel up the y axis. I was thinking of using the numbers -10 - 10 so -10 would go down and 10 go up. Here is my code
Actionscript Code:

i'm trying to use code so if i type in -10 to 10 the object will move up or down the y axis. The code i'm using at the moment calculates how far to move it from the number inputed, then it removes te object and places it in the required position. However doing the removeChild technique messes up when having many on the stage. I was wondering if anyone knew a way of calculating the rating and then using it to move the object on the stage without removing it and adding it. Here is the code i'm using to move it. OR a way in which i can remove certain objects on the stage using remove child
