I'm trying to sort MCs on stage that belong to different instances of different objects.
[Code]...
is there a simple way to use the Depth Management methods to control their sorting order? Right now, all I know how to do is place objectTypeB either in front of or behind all members of objectTypeA.
The code doesn't work.
The getChildIndex and setChildIndex methods give error because cont[i] is not child of my object.
which is the fastest way to reorder depth of the objects ?
Code:
container.rotationY= container.rotationY + (mouseX-width/2)/100;
for (var i:uint=0; i<container.numChildren; i++) {
cont[i]=container.getChildAt(i);

I'm developing a game and the objective is to drag some objects to a container. Some objects add points, and some other subtract points. So, all the objects are in the library and have a linkage name to be called by attachMovie. I want to create an Array with all the objects that belong to container, like for example filename1 = ["obj1", "obj2", "obj3"]; etc... I have a var called count1 that defines the number of objects to appear on the Scene

im develloping an application for create a layout of advertising newspaper. the user can set the number of pages, and create rectangles represanting the adverts, then drag them and place them into the the representation of the page.the display list is as follow: on the main stage there is inputs textfields and a button that create the pages according to the number that the user typed.Then instances of the pages are created (MC Page in the lybrary exported for AS as Page and i have a class Page as well). Inside this clip Page i have my tools for create the rectangles and drag and place.....As well as the instances of my pages are created, button(1 for each Page) are also created. NOTE that Page and button are in the main stage My probleme is that i want my button to change the depth of is related page for it can be on top or alpha at 100% or the visibilty to true, but my button doesnt find the instance name of the pages at the export because they are not yet created.
View 9 RepliesI want to create a flash movie which firstly loads a selection of images/objects into a portion of the frame. After this is complete, the user can then drag these objects onto another area and the object will be created where the user has chosen. The user can then drag another instance of the ojects onto the area.
For example, there is a background of a lake in one area. A selection of boat pngs are loaded in an area below the lake. The user can drag these boats and place them on the lake. They can drag a boat multiple times if they wish.
I have created an object and I need to sort its elements. Is this possible?[code]...
I was able to do what I wanted by turning my object into an array and then sort, but my arrays gets pretty large and is regenerated often.
Make an array with some objects, let's say something like this[code]...

I want to sort an array that contains object references. I want to sort on one of the values held by the objects.
I have the following sample code, say:
Code:
ActionScript:abc = new Array();
abc[0] = new Object();
abc[0].anotherObj = new Object();
[Code].....
im having trouble figuring out the difference between the layers on the time line and the dept of object that can be manipulated by actionscript.in a single layer there can be many objects but in actionscript at specific dept you can manipulate just one object using function such as setchildindex() .so in a movie clip where there are several objects in a single layer how can you access and change their depth as in bring them to front or put them to the bottom
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to sort objects depths based on their Y position but have not been able to do it efficiently. I was able to successfully sort objects with a selection sort algorithm and a quick sort algorithm; however, both have only been partly successful. Selection sort gets about 8-10/30 FPS with 13 objects and gets about 14-18/30 FPS. This is not good enough as I figure I could have as many as a hundred objects to be sorted at once.
After digging around, I found that array.sort() is more efficient than a quick sort implemented in AS3 and that calling swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() at every swap was bogging it down. So now I am copying the objects array and sorting it with sort() and then comparing the two and swapping displayObjects so as only to call the swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() method once per element. It appears to be running, and at full speed, though it won't swap correctly. Here is my code:

I have a combination of movie clips, graphic and button objects that I want to appear in front of a movie clip that's being dynamically spawned through ActionScript.
Despite looking at various codes on how to go about doing this, problem is I'm using code somebody else made, so I don't know where to add the code to set the depth order for the spawned object. I'm not even sure which codes to use to achieve the effect I want.[code]...
i have objects on my stage and when i rollover on each object he raize.exmeple u can see here (here i make only 2 objects):http: [url]....what i want to do is that all of the objects have the same depth but when one of my object rollovered and he start to raize get the top depth (up then other)

I am trying to change the depth of MCs that are already positioned on the stage. However, there doesn't seem to be a property such as _depth. So can I even change the depth of an MC during the game and if so how would I do it?

View 3 RepliesHow can I know if a point is contained inside of an Sprite in Flex?
For example:
// My example point
var A:Point = new Point(5,5);
// My example sprite
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000,1);
s.graphics.moveTo(0,0);
s.graphics.lineTo(100,100);
The point A belong to sprite s because its position is inside of it. Is there any function to know it? I want to do it for all kind of sprites, so use math formulas to calculate linear or quadratic equations (line, circle, rectangle, etc) is not valid for me.
I've got a looping slideshow. I'd like to place a sliding menu at the bottom of the screen. The problem is I've created the slideshow dynamically, and the images being loaded all inherit a depth greater than 0.

View 1 RepliesHere 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.
I created a drag and drop kind of game. Each item has the code below. How do I set the game to complete once the user has placed all the pieces where they belong?

I'm using CS3+AS3 and I have a Flash project with a menu, the items in the menu can expand to reveal more items and this is currently done by having each state of the menu in a separate frame, and then doing "gotoAndStop" in this movieclip when buttons are pressed.Perhaps not the best solution, but works very well for this purpose, but as you can imagine, this means that the "same buttons" in "different frames" will do the same thing.All frames were constructed by duplicating the first frame, then moving the buttons around and adding more buttons where needed. So now I set instance names to the buttons in frame #1 and added event-listeners. But when I tested the project, the buttons that had event-listeners in frame #1 also had them in all the other frames. Now this could be an awesome feature, but right now it's more of a huge mystery to me.
ance names in frame #2, but yet they share the same instance. I searched all over the IDE but I could not find any functionality to actually determine what instances are linked, how to link instances or unlink instances. But I do know that two objects share instances when you duplicate them.So my question is, is there no functionality in the Flash IDE to actually make more efficient use of this?
Lets say you have 5 instances of a circle on the stage.Now, lets say you want to make all of the circles _x += 5;How can I do this without doing a repeat loop?Isnt there a single line command that could be used? Such as: {tell all circle objects} : _x += 5;
View 4 RepliesI'm using robot legs, I've got a bunch of ServiceResponses that extends a base class and have a dependency on a Parser, IParser. I need to wire in a parser specific to the subclass. Here's an example: ModuleConfigResponse extends SimpleServiceResponse and implements IServiceResponse.
The initial part is easy to wire in the context, here's an example:
injector.mapClass(IServiceResponse, ModuleConfigResponse);
injector.mapClass(IServiceResponse, SimpleServiceResponse, "roomconfig");
..etc
Each Response uses a parser that is used by the baseclass:
injector.mapValue(IParser, ModuleConfigParser, "moduleconfig");
injector.mapValue(IParser, RoomConfigParser, "roomconfig");
The question is how to tie these together. The base class could have:
[Inject]
public var parser : IParser
But I can't define the type ahead of time. Im wondering if there a nice way of wiring this in the context. For the moment I've decided to wire this up by instanciating responses in a ResponseFactory instead so that I pay pass the parser manually in the constructor.
injector.mapValue(IParser, ModuleConfigParser, "moduleconfig");
Is it possible to store instances of a class in a cookie or in shared objects.
Basically in my application I have an object "Diagram" that the user can create. If they hit save, I want to store the current instance as a cookie and allows them to reload it later.
Alternatively, I could see about getting them to store the saved version on the hard disk. But even then, all I want to save and retreive is my actionscript object.
I've tried storing the object to SharedObject.data.diag, but when I try to retrieve the object from the cookie doing SharedObject.data.diag as Diag returns null.
I have an array that is structured like so.

Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?
