ActionScript 3.0 :: Ordering Movieclip To Front?
Jul 15, 2010
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);
[code]....
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.

I 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 !

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 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.

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:
[URL] (select the fullscreen option)
I need the movieclip to be brought in front of the as3 implemented overlay.

If I have added Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners to different components, how can I set or know the ordering of when these events will be fired on each enterFrame?Instead of adding enterFrame listeners to individual elements, is it better practice to have one element which listens for enterFrame events, and has an array of elements needing updating on enterFrames, thereby making it easy to organize and change the firing order of these events?

I have a flash app generating xml and it seems to just put the attributes for tags in a fairly random order. The problem is that I need them to be in a specific order because of circumstances outside my control. Is there a way to do this while still using the XML object and/or E4X? Or even XMLNode or XMLDocument? I'd really rather not have to resort to working with Strings.

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?

I 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.

I often populate my datagrids with a recordset, an array of record objects, by passing the recordset in the dataprovider constructor. However, this results in unpredictable column ordering i.e. it doesn't correspond to the order of the fields in the record object. I know you can define the columns and then use add item to add the records to resolve this, but I'm curious why the datagrid doesn't order the columns according to the record object field order in the first place and why the order can actually change between renderings of the datagrid?

What I need to create a touchscreen restaurant ordering system?
I've got the touch UI understood and implemented 100%.
What I can't figure out is how to implement the "Send order to kitchen" and "Call waiter" functions.
Each table will have a "client" computer running an air app. Calling the "Send order to kitchen" and "Call waiter" functions from the "client" computer should make the "client" communicate with a different "kitchen" computer over wifi.

what 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?

I used the following to add an external .swf:
[Code]...
it worked as I wished - by placing the swf under all other elements on the timeline via the addChildAt being 0. I now need to add another external .swf (over the top of the one I just brought in) and was expecting by using:
[Code]...
it would place it above the other .swf but in fact, it places it under one element of it.
should this be the case of is there a different way to do what I wish to?

i want to see if these "build a." flash sites (to support a user customized ordering process) are done using regular flash or Flex?
[Code].....
All of these "walk a user" through a customized ordering process and capture all of their selection and showing them all of their customizations (and ultimately bring them to a final ordering screen). What's going on under the hood on these sites and are built in flash or flex? Is the person creating a separate image for every combination that you could possibly select or is something else happening here?
I still can't figure out if Flex or Flash is better for something like this. (why does adobe make these seemingly basic questions so complicated) Are there any good resource or tutorials for try to build this type of functionality in flash on a website?

I am currently building a commercial website, and am stuck on the functionality of a 'Featured Businesses' animated graphic. The functionality is there, it works, but the problem is, I can't figure out a proper way to make it so that when one button is pressed (that is behind the others on the timeframe), how can I make it so that all the frames/layers (which contain the other buttons) go behind whatever button is activated?
As I said, it works, the problem is that all but the last button (which is the top layer) are obscured from view by the other buttons/MC's that are on top of it as far as the timeline is concerned.!
I tried messing around with the objectdestroy function, but this is my first foray back into ActionScripting since I scripted my last 2D platformer way back in 2005 when I was using Flash MX and before Adobe took control. So I'm rusty.
The link below should contain the .swf of the functional graphic. As you can see it works, but the top buttons are behind the others, so you can't see their animation fully.=
