ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild-Selected Child Always On Top?
Jun 11, 2009
I have a package that scales a pic up when the pic is moused over. Also in the .fla that references that package, I have code that loads the pics into movie clips on the stage(using XML).
My problem is that when I mouse over the pic it goes behind the other pics that are next to it. The moused over pic needs to appear above the surrounding pics. I know this is an addChildAt / indexing issue. I'm just having trouble working it into my code.
Actually, the package code (PhotoScaler.as) has a line that is supposed to make the moused over mc go above everything else, but it doesn't work when I add a pic to the symbol
Here is the Package code:
Code:
package AS3code {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code]....

I've used this site as a resource leading up to this, not particularly sure if I worded this correctly I have a class "Block" which is just a square (will be something else later on in the process) I want each block to have controls to add an additional block in either direction so I have another class BlockButtons which has my buttons for each direction.
And another class GlobalVar where I keep all my variables for funsies

Within the main timeline I have a menu, which is a MovieClip. This menu is comprised of about 17 "buttons", each of which point to a different section of the site. When a "button" is clicked (2 examples: menu_bag_button, menu_trashbag_button), the menu will animate, moving left, and 2 library items (bag_container and close_btn) should appear to the right, both within "framecontainer".Then, while the menu is on the left, this specific button must not repeat the menu animation, thus I did an if statement finding which frame it is on, and if it's on the left, it simply clears the framecontainer and loads the content again.
The problem is that when another link is clicked, it needs to do one of two things: if the menu is in the center with no content loaded, it needs to animate the menu to the right, and load the content/close_btn into "framecontainer"; or, if the menu is on the left, it needs to clear "framecontainer" and load the corresponding content.I've tried a lot of things but since all of these buttons are within "menu_mc", the actionscript has to point to the root, THEN to"framecontainer" and everything gets convoluted.Here is my current code. It functions fine, except for the fact that it doesn't clear content, so it continues loading the frames so that one is closed, there is still other content behind it:
import flash.display.*;
import fl.transitions.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code].............

I'm transitioning a flex 3 application to flex 4. There was AS code in the flex 3 app that worked:
var myCurrentSelectedChild:String = myViewStack.selectedChild.id;
Now, in flash builder and flex 4.5, it throws the error - "-1119: Access of possibly undefined property id through a reference with static type mx.core:INavigatorContent". I'm trying to get the viewStack's selected child's id.

I have an Accordian in my application. Each child of the accordian has a label firstNameLabel) and a button (addPolicyButton). The label's value is being set via Repeater and an array. How can I access the firstNameLabel's value of 'selected child of the accordian' when the addPolicyButton is clicked?In following code testTextArea.appendText prints 'fname: undefined' in the testTextArea.Where as I can see in the accordian that the set label's text is set to 'Michael' which is what repMonitor.currentItem.firstName returned.
Code:
private function addPolicy():void{
testTextArea.appendText("fname:"+firstNameLabel.text);

I am trying to get a circle shape and a text-field sit inside a square sprite, using addChild() method.

The code below is called after a thumbnail is generated and available. It is supposed to add the thumbnail to a MC along with the file name. The first go around (after a file is uploaded and converted) works, but the second time around the 2nd MC is generated and placed on stage with the correct file name and thumb image, but the first thumbnail image isappears (the file name stays).I don't understand why.

The only thing that has me puzzled is the preview field. Basically i have a background which is a movie clip, it basically transforms from the loader to the background (over 70 frames).
is there a way to have the preview field for the root movie display a child movie at a frame other than frame 1? At the moment it looks like this: [URL]
But i'm wanting it to look like this: [URL]
It would help or positioning other items if i had the background displayed how it will actually be?

Using Child Navigation to load main time line.I am new to AS3 and have done pretty well but have been caught up this area.I have been loading swfs into a loader (imageLoader) which has been added to the stage using addChild. Then with buttons and functions I load other swfs into the same loader which replace each other. I now have an swf "testProject3a.swf" loaded into (imageLoader) which has icons for navigation and when each icon is clicked I need it to load another swf into (imageLoader) and replace it's self "testProject3a.swf" with "portalB.swf".I've tried adding removeChild code to the loaded swf but it removes the original (imageLoader) and the other buttons have nothing to load into.[code]

in my last flash website i built, i created a gallery, my way of creating pages in flash are to have a movieclip as a page, so to make it easier to switch between the paged (page switching functionality is purely done in AS3). the gallery was a problem however, i needed the pictures to appear as popups, however to add the child from inside the movieclip, any masks i use would prevent the popup from leaving the immediate area of the page. so to get around this problem i basically used: MovieClip(root).addChild()
in my opinion this was a mistake, because it created other problems. the problem was that the popups are still connected to the page, even though they are outside of it, which meant that using removeChild() to switch from the gallery, meant that any popup that were still active, 'DIDNT' dissapear, and worse than that, because the page was removed, the popups lost any AS connected to them, which meant the couldnt be removed at all.

Is there any way to disable a few columns for a particular row in flex datagrid?
I have a datagrid with about 10 or more columns, say for example a few column names are: Item Id, Item Name, Item Status and VerifiedState. Initially I want the column Verified State to be disabled.
Now When the value of the column, Item Status is Review Passed for a particular row, I want the column VerifiedState to be enabled and editable. Is that possible in Flex datagrid.

I'm trying to have a class file which can add objects to the stage via addChild; however, when I call addChild from within the class file, I get the error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild." I've tried importing flash.display.* and that doesn't fix the problem. Does the class file have to extend Sprite or MovieClip to be able to add objects to the stage?

The newMC doesn't show up.If I add 'parent.' in front of the addChild then it appears.mc_LibItem has a base class of "flash.display.MovieClip" and is exporting for ActionScript and on frame one.For grins I created a new .fla and began messing around with the same addChild idea and it worked.

I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?
