ActionScript 3.0 :: Get A Swf To Stay On Top Of Other Swfs?
Jul 29, 2011
I have created a website which loads external swfs as pages onto the main stage on the click of a button. I have a swf called logo which loads separately and stays on the website the entire time. I want the logo swf to stay on top of everything else. but right now it stays underneath. how to fix my code so that the logo swf is on top?
Here is my code:
Code:
stop();
/////// Load logo SWF
var swf:MovieClip;
[Code].....

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

Flash - 8 : Above is an example of what I would like to do/have done. I've gotten as far as loading the "loaded.swf" into the "start.swf" but my problem is I'd love to use that little loading action I made earlier without copying and pasting into the new movie the same actions for a different link. So, how do I load "loaded2.swf" into "loaded.swf" via the link in "loaded.swf"?

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

The problem is this when the layer with the box on the time line ends the box disappears from the stage as well. now with a old school tween I would just add a blank key frame to the end of the movie and problem solved. But since I'm playing around with a the new type of tween when I try to stretch out the time line it affects the timing of the previous frames. In some cases the whole animation slows to a crawl in others the bouncing in the motion preset happens at the wrong time making it look like the bounce is happening in mid-air.
So what I would like to do is just stretch out the time line in some way and just have the first part of the new tween stay in time and pretty much add dead space to the end of the tween and have the box stay put.

have a very simple webpage that I want to have a very simple, respectively, flash object. It is a jpeg banner that I want to have text come in from both sides at different times and then stay put... I got the text timing and end locations where but the text disapperars after the tween. Maybe I went about it the wrong way, but what I have tried so far is:
Making a new layer and creating a text field and trying to position it in the same spot on the next frame and tried it on the last frame of the tween( two different tries). When I try to change the location and size of the text box (so that it theoretically is in the same spot) the changes wont stick.. Is that supposed to happen.
So how to I get it to look like the text tweened to the spot I wanted it to and then stay there?

I got a box symbol nothing fancy I applied a motion preset to it and its just a basic bounce. I would like it when the bounce is over the box would just stay still on the stage and the time line would continue to play.

I have a flash template loaded on my server (Go Daddy) and when I make changes to the xml file they show up changed and then after about 10 minutes my xml file changes back to what it was before changed it, except the only changes it takes is if I add a new image and make that change in the xml its ok but if I try and change the order of the photos in the xml file or the text descriptors at the bottom of each photo it changes for a minute or so then reverts back to it old way. Here is an attachment of my xml file.

I decided to post this question as a new thread since my enquiry is altered.
I got this sliding menu attached ("ActiveButtons.zip") that works according to plan. My problem is that I want the buttons to stay active(red) while the corresponding image is in place. Is this doable with a button?

I didnt see a place in preferences to keep edges hidden. I have some text that has a dotted line around it. I can hide it with hide edges, but as soon as I select them and let go, the edges come back. maybe their not edges since theyre dotted. maybe its flash telling me somethings not set up correctly? anyone?

Recently today my Flash started not staying open. When I run it, it shows the normal screen with the timeline, properties, stage and all but then it closes down. I can still open my previous works except Flash just closes down.
Worked normally like 5 hours ago. Although something strange did happen when I was using it 5 hours ago. My library suddenly became empty of all tweens and symbols and stuff but my program still worked. Restarting Flash brought back all the symbols to the library. But I doubt that this could be the cause of my newer more serious problem.

I am creating a small flash project which has few scenes, in one of them I've exported FLV video(5 minutes). When I test this scene it plays the whole video, but when I run the project it is not showing the whole video(less then one second on this scene and goes to the next one). If I'll increase the length of the timeline to show the whole video then the project won't compile because of too many frames. Is there any way to play the whole exported video and then go to the next scene?

I have a swf that I created in Flash CS4 that includes a movieclip. Because I only have a small number of frames for the movieclip I have set it to 6fps so that it runs at the right speed. When I publish and then load the swf the movieclip runs at the right framerate. However, I am actually using these swf files in an actionscript project that loads them up and displays them. When I do that with this swf the fps on the movieclip seems to have reverted to 24fps and is running way too fast. Is there some way to limit the movie clip fps so that it stays the same when I load it in actionscript, or is there any reason why the fps should be reverting? Ideally I would like to have different fps for different elements within my swf - is that possible?

I heard this is a great forum for Flash. I aspire to make flash games. I am learning from a book at the moment "Actionscript 3.0 Game Programming" and I'm going through it and trying to improve the example games in order to understand flash better. I am stuck with a problem and can't find the answer on the internet.In a game I load up some pictures and have them slide around. The problem is I want to have a dynamic text over the pictures but it always gets covered up. I tried putting the text field in a new layer and have that layer on top but when the pictures load it covers it up.

I have buttons with black text. The buttons (not the text) change colour to red when you rollover them. I can't seem to work out how to get the colour to stay red when it's clicked. Do I make a duplicate symbol which is already red to replace it when clicked? And I'm also unsure of the actions I'm supposed to use if any??

When I make changes in my xml file on the server they won't change on my site. The only changes that work is if I add new images and make those changes in the xml file it's ok but if I try to change the order of the images or add new text that is at the bottom of each image it won't change. I'm on a Mac with the latest Snow Leopard OS. I use Transmit for my ftp browser.

I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.

I have two buttons assigned like this:
buttonprev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, image_previous);
buttonnext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, image_next);
These events fire a function which looks like this: loader.load(new URLRequest(getPath()));
My other code is:
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,initHandler);
[code]....
If my picture takes up the area where the buttons are, the buttons slip underneath the image. How can I make the buttons stay on top all the time? My movie works fine as long as the picture that I load from a nearby directory does not cover the buttons..

What I am trying to explain/do is to take a movie and not only have it follow a guided layer, but also to have it not dissapear.So for example, I have sucessfully made a movie move around a path as I broke some letters in to symbols and created a guided layer out of them.However I don't want the move to keep dissapearing and initializing as it transverses the path.To better explain this, please check out the online example: UrL...Now instead of holding down the mouse button and having the movie of hearts just keep compounding wherever the key_pressed mouse goes to, Imagine the hearts coming to screen as the movie goes through the guided layer so as to spell out a word. Here is the minimum that I think I need and I have edited it below and tried change the "mouseX" and "mouseY" to something such as flashmo_group.X and flashmo_group.Y but the resulting effect does not follow the path.[code]

I'm trying to create a scrolling game in as3. The problem I'm having is how to make things like explosions and rockets firing from the ground at the player object to scroll with the background instead of staying stationery with the player object during the game. Does anyone know a simple method to keep the explosions and other stuff not connected with the player object, to stay scrolling with the background?

I have a document which is basically a catalogue page, and I'm trying to make it so that when you click on an image, a movieclip of the image fading in larger appears, so it will look essentially like it's been zoomed in. To do this I put the movieclip inside a button. I have the button working fine, when you click it, it does exactly what it's supposed to, but I have no idea how to set it so that when the button is clicked it stays in the 'down' position, so you don't have to hold the mouse down. And also how to get back to the main screen afterwards, since the movie does take up the entire stage when played. Is it possible to do this?

I'm doing a simple 2 button menu. Each button is a movie clip with 3 labels for the states "none" "selected" and "hover". smartBtn needs to be set to "selected" on enter frame. When cinemaBtn gets clicked, smartBtn should go to its "none" state. But I'm not sure why smartBtn keeps on being selected.

OK so i have a character that moves with the mouse. I need it to stay in the center of the screen(kind of like a platformer game). I can't figure out how to access the camera and move it. (Note: I have tried Vcam and moving all of the other objects but Vcam makes the file slow or something [or so i have heard] and moving the other objects in kind of like cheating [and for my needs is insufficient]) I don't have any code because i don't know where to start. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction.
