ActionScript 3.0 :: Placing An Object On Top Of All Others?
May 2, 2011
Basically I have this code...
ActionScript Code:
gameOverFinal = new gameOverMessage();
gameOverFinal.x = 265;
gameOverFinal.y = 400;
addChildAt(gameOverFinal, o);
It displays a game over message at a certain time. but if let's say the enemy that killed me is at the exact place where the game over message is the enemy will freeze over the message and obscure it. Is there a simple piece of code that will make it so the message is always on top?

I am trying to figure out how I would get the value of a variable into an XML Object.
I have the variable
var dragonName:String = "Samuel";
var listing:XML = new XML();
listing = <thedragon>
[Code],,,,
However, the dragon name does not show up when I go trace(listing); How do I do it and should I have imported something as well or what?

I'm designing a website in flash & have imported my images into the library & have placed them on the stage, but when I go to "test movie" to preview my page, some of the images look like this [URL] the funny thing is, when I look at the images on the stage they look fine, it's only when I test my movie that they look cut off.

I'm importing and playing an external FLV in my movie using the FLVPlayback component and providing captioning for it using the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component. It's working great. (CS5, AS3, Windows 7)
By default the captioning box plays directly on top of the FLVPlayback Component. I want to separate them, so for instance, i can put content (images and such) in between the Playback component and the caption box.

I have played some more with Flash and come upon something that i would know more about.I tried to make:A scene. when I click the left mouse button on the stage an object(from the librery [graphic]) will be place exactly where the mouse is.I did not really know how to approach this, but tried anyways.
This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addApple);
Function addApple(event:MouseEvent):void{
//I dont know what to put here to place an object(apple) from the libery
//onto the stage where the mouse is.
};

Ive managed to create a for loop that finds the highest value in an array:
array[0]=max
for(e=0;e<array.length;e++){
if(array[e].value > max.value){
array[e]=max
}
}
but Im trying to create a for loop that places all the values in that array from lowest to highest

I am trying to import an image and then place the image in two spots on the stage. This is the code I'm using:[code]My problem is rather than placing two instances of the image on the stage, the code above places one image with an x coordinate of 300 and a y coordinate of 0.I thought the code above would place two images. One at point (0,0) and the other at point (300,0).

I want to remove the clips one by one over the course of a few seconds.
Can I put a delay into a while loop to make it only loop every 50 ms or so?

I'm working on the Kirupa photo gallery and that works fine. Now I want to change how the thumbnails are loaded in. I would like them to be loaded in a holder (now in an emptyMC) so that I can put a mask/ border on it.
This is the thumbnail function:
Code:
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k,thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();

It's been a few years since I've last used ActionScript, so I'm a bit rusty Anyways, I have 16 buttons in my library with linkage names btn0-btn15. I can successfully add them onto the stage by saying something like:
Code:
var tempBtn:SimpleButton = new btn0();
stage.addChild(tempBtn);
I'm going to be tinkering with the buttons layout and positions, and I would like to add each of the different buttons to the stage dynamically with a for loop. I've been trying different variations of this:
Code:
for (int i:int=0; i<16; i++) {
var tempBtn:SimpleButton = new ["btn" + i]();
}
but I just can't seem to find the right syntax for doing this correctly.

I'm trying to place 12 MC's on random coordinates. In the attached zip file you can see their positions. I was thinking that I could have an array, in which each 'item' represents an x and a y position for one of the MC's. This array should then be randomized, so that when the thumbs.swf is loaded each MC ends up on one of the 12 predefined positions randomly, so that every time you load the MC's are in different positions. But how do you store two values in an array item? Amnos already helped me out big-time with a different approach I had in mind, but I could not figure out how to continue with this... not doing more with what you gave me...this is the address to that thread:[URL]..
What I really want to do is, what I described above and once all MC are loaded, let them appear in a random order. For example, all is loaded and then make the MC's apperar sequentially with an alpha fade-in from top left to bottom right...or the other way 'round, or build it up in columns.

I'm using an effect I found on the net which moves clips around randomly, works really nicely, however, Im having a problem with it when it's put inside another MC.I have a site setup that uses a navigation section which loads the separate sections into a container MC on the stage. When the section is loaded that contains this special effect, it doesn't work. I guess this is a target issue in the action script somewhere, but I'm not good enough with code to see it.he special effect file and a "container" file for it to simulate my problem are attached.[URL]

I am using Flex Builder 2 to create classes, leaving my FLA file void of scripts. I wish to extend a MovieClip class so that my new class would dispatch a specific event everytime it reaches the last frame. I could do this using an ENTER_FRAME listener which would launch a function call to see if the current frame is actually the last one, but I don't wish to do that and drop lag down my users' throat. I would rather prefer adding manually "endSequence()" to all of the animation sequences using Flash... which I really don't want to be doing as it would make updating very bothersome. Is there a way to add a script to a frame programmatically so I don't have to use Flash to add bits of script to the last frame of each of my concerned MovieClips?
