ActionScript 3.0 :: Bring A Movie Clip To The Front?
Feb 4, 2010
basically I have all these panels arranged so that when you click on the title they expand to show my work
but they are expanding behind each other, so i'm trying to get some actionscript 3.0 together so that when you click on one of the panels it will be brought to the front and expand so that the others arent visible until you click the button again and it folds back up.
i've attached screenshots. ss2 is what i want to happen and ss3 is what keeps happening.
here's what i have so far...
ActionScript Code:

I have several movie clips that zoom in and zoom-out, how do I bring one movie clip to front on mouse over? So the other movie clips remain same size and in the background.
I have 114 drag movie clips (one on other, overlapping movie) on the same frame. By clicking a button (on the same frame) 7 movie clips (randomize) should be visible and active to drag. Those movies that are in front are active and I can drag them, the other are visible but can not be drawn.[code]...
I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) { _root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true; } on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
I have 3 movieclips in separate layers. inside each they have buttons.I want the mc i hover to move to the front. right now they overlap.see attached. the green cricle appears behind the other 2.
If you go to the Portfolio page im trying to design 3 links that open up a mini section.. if you notice, each link stl has the other links overlaping the clip, because all links are on the same level..I have tried a couple of scripts that say they bring the clip to the front on rollover but have found nothing that works..
I have flash file, there is text, who loads from xml file and movie clip. i need, this movie clip, with all content bring to front, because, now it is behind text, but I don`t know how to do that..
I've tried several codes and none work or i'm just not doing it right i guess.See my SWF.The circles are movieclips with butttons inside. When you rollover the mc, the button extends. All the mc are in main scence in separate layers. I need to bring the mc i hover to the front.
I have made some images into animated buttons that enlarge on rollover, bring each layer to the front on rollover, I am working in CS3 with actionscript 2
i have 7 buttons inside an MC in a row next each other, when the mouse rollover each of it zooms 20%. Now the problem starts when the button you're hoving over is zoomed, the button next to it cuts into the image. in the order they where inserted I want the button you're zooming over to always display as the top layer - bring to front -.
i read of a code:
btn.swapDepths(1);
to change the depth of the movie clip
and:
trace(btn.getDepth());
to get the initial depth of the button putting it at a higher or lower depth than the other buttons will either place the button behind or in front of the other buttons ...play around with depths untill you figure it out.
I've a movieclip that contains two buttons. Buttons have a border appearing on roll over.The problem is that the border (which are fairly large highlights for both buttons) overlaps one of the button.What I want to do it that when one of the button is rolled over its index is set to a higher number than the other button and then back to normal upon roll out.
I have a wipe transition of a photo, and underneath that, another photo. So that when the MC is run, what the viewer sees is the underlying scene photo progressively (but quickly) being wiped over by the gradual revelation of a another pict. Now I want to programmatically move the underlying ("wiped over") layer to the top. The underlying scene photo occupies the lower layer. I've tried turning the wipe collection of mask and photo for one layer into one symbol, and the other pict scene into another symbol. But for the life of me I don't understand how the code for each goes into the layer tree. Or whether scoping out the symbols as I've postulated is even the right way to proceed.
The board doesn't allow for the ability to post the (f-) file, so there's no way I can ask if anyone can show me how to weave the code into the Timeline area. Also I'd like to direct the program to bring the lower layer to the top under certain conditions. There are no examples anywhere for how to programmatically do this for CS4. There was a CS3 way to do like this (this is a mouse rollover sample):
i've been receiving a ton of help here and love it but Im having a really bad time fixing this one part of an infographic im making. i need to do the following in a flash cs4/as2.0 file:
1.) make all boxes draggable on the stage
2.) on click/hover bring layer to the front.
var city_arr:Array = new Array(THIS CONTAINS A LIST OF ALL MY CITIES I AM USING AS MY NAMING CONVENTION);
How can I implement this? I tried to use: (this.numChildren - 1)But it doesn't work. I want to use this code because I have 8 boxes, each are 100px X 100px. You hover each box and they flip over but the "backside" of these cards are larger in both length and width than the front. When they flip over they overlap the neighbouring card. I'm looking for some sort of script so that I can tell each card to align itself above the other cards on the stage.
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've developed a website and on the home page there is a series of css/ javascript dropdown hyperlinks. Some of these hyperlinks display a popup menu of further links on mousemover. Immediately below the hyperlinks is a small flash movie.
The problem is, when you mouseover the links and it displays the popup links, the flash movie appears OVER the drop links.
Is there a way I can either send the flash movie to the back using some kind of 'send to back' option like there is in dreamweaver? Surely I don't have to restructure my page to allow for this?
I've got a mega tight deadline and I need to figure out how to bring a button to the front when it is rolled over. I have a scene with six buttons. When each button is rolled over the roll over state contains a movie that runs and animation that 'grows' the button to reveal other information. The problem I have is the 'depth' each of these buttons are on. The top button works fine and goes over the other buttons, but the bottom level button expands below all the other buttons. If you look at the attached screen grabs you will see what I mean. What is the actionscript 3.0 I need to use and where and how do I apply it?
I'm having reel trouble trying to bring a movieclip to the front using setChildIndex. I have 3 movieclips that are being loaded into a movieclip that sits on the stage. I'm using:
So, I have a line of buttons that pop up when moused over. Unfortunately, due to their proximity to one another, I have a lot of overlap occurring. Is there a way to bring the activated button in front of the others via as?
i have created a little gallery and set the images as buttons, on the rollover they expand to 2/3 the stage, they expand behnd the other pictures/buttons.
i want them to open ontop of the other buttons?
I have tried to bring them to the front, through right click and selecting "arrange""bring to the front" but this doesn't work?
Another simple question here. I have 2 objects next to each other. On mouseover I have them enlarge. I would like to make it so that whatever object is being enlarged is brought to the front. Here is my code.
How can I make the obj change to front of another when the mouse roll over, and come back when out? I look for "setChildIndex with tween" but I don't found...
i have the below code, which is basically animating object across the screen, when roll-over happens it pauses the anim, and displays some information. Everything works fine, but when its paused, i wold like that current object to be 'on top' so other items run behind. I have looked at setChildIndex, but didn't have much luck.
I have a menu set up that has about 20 menu items in a circle. When you mouse over each item, a title comes up. The only problem is that because of the depth order, it's hidden behind the other menu items.
Is it possible to bring a div in front of a flash movie that is in full screen?How can I do this if it's possible? I want to make a little box in my site and put some links in it and position it on top of a flash movie that is playing in my site so the user can have shortcuts there.I don't want to put the links inside the flash animation :D
Ive seen some code, but I haven't understood it. I am trying to do a website with images which are at the same time buttons to a slideshow of the pictures. I just found out that my problem is that some of the images are crossing each other very badly when you move your mouse over them. (the pictures when you go over them with your mouse turn colored and have white borders on them, but as some images have the same border its not displaying it right.)
I must make them movieclips and then swap depths I just wonder if there is a way without making them movieclips..
