View 14 RepliesI have a row of images and need to resize the height of the image to a specific value and then scale the width of the image to maintain the dimensions - so I end up with a row of images all the same height but different widths. I've only ever scaled an image by a scale factor.
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to change the depth of an object. I have only just started learning AS3, so I haven't looked into this yet.So far I have been using a trial-&-error method to try to get this piece of code to work which I found on a site, but I have not succeeded:
Code:
setChildIndex(example,numChildren-1);
I am putting this code in it's class, and I tried replacing the word example with 'this'. Can someone please help me? When I test the swf it comes up with this in output:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

Im trying to change the depth or index of a movieclip when its click. And bring it to the top of everything. The problem is that the movie clip is not added by addChild, but nested in a frame.
so if i try and use any of these:
anyMC.parent.setChildIndex(anyMC, anyMC.parent.numChildren-1);
or public function bringMCToFront($mc:MovieClip){ $mc.parent.setChildIndex($mc, $mc.parent.numChildren-1);}
by it gives me this error: Error #1065: Variable setChildIndex is not defined.
i want when user rollover on any movieclip it comes on top after rollout it goes it's original position but, this code is showing error.ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

We can't use depth as a property of the cube, so how can I change the depth of the cube?
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?

Is there a way to change the depth (index number) of a movieClip when I click on it to drag. Example:Say I have three circles. Each circle has a MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN eventListener. When one is clicked It will bring it to the front so when I drag it will be above the two other circles.
View 7 RepliesI have a stack of 3 Mcs, 1, 2 and 3, one over the other, at the same layer.
I want to make an action, that makes the top level MCs, when clicked, to go under the other 2 MCs, and so on.
Is it possible? I tried to make it, but discovered that it's not possible to define negative depth for a MC.
Im having a dynamic textfield in on the main timeline which loads an external text file. Im also using addChild on the main timeline to display a mc. The problem is that the textfield is always behind the mc!! how can i change the depth of the textfield?

View 3 RepliesI'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.
how I can place the sliding menu at the very top of the presentation when it's already on the stage?
I'm looking to create a rotating set of images, simulated to look 3D... that can rotate either left or right, reactive to someones mouse location.
The path of the images would look like a flat oval, and as the images came to the forefront, they would be at full scale, have the lowest position (high _y), have the highest depth (appear in front of everything else) and be dead center _x.
As they slide left or right, they would reduce everything by a relative 50% to the final shift (scale, _y, and depth) until they got to the end, moving in an upward arc following the oval path. When they got to the end, and kept rotating beyond (move in the opposite _x. but appear to follow the flow of the arc), continuing to decrease in scale, _y, and depth.
why changing the index or depth of the movieClip breaks the the timeline animation of this movieClip !!

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to see if a depth is already being used by a movieclip before assigning it to another movieclip? I have a game where there are hundreds of movieclips moving around on screen at the same time and changing depths every time they move. But at rare times, one movieclip will spawn at the exact spot another movieclip is in and use that depth, making the old movieclip invisible (but still active and moving around).
