I'm creating a simple shooter game and I've replaced the mouse cursor with a custom one. It works good but my monsters appear above the cursor. How do I make the cursor always remain on the top most level/layer?
View 15 RepliesI'm using the Pulse Particle component to place a random starfield into my client's animation. Problem is as you'll see in this simplified example, I have the particle layer next to the bottom but when you render out the movie, the particles go right to the top layer, no matter what. I tried both this timeline effort and then I tried placing it with AS3 using the addChild method. Neither worked at all. How can I tell this component to only populate to the proper layer/level so the objects above it are seen without any particles?
View 2 RepliesI have a flash quiz that I created. The file is an external swf loaded on top of another flash swf. The quiz is all radial buttons and drop down menus. Once the user choose which answer they feel is correct they click submit. Before they click submit they have an option to close the window. What i want to happen is if they close that window and return I want those selected answers to remain or even if they submitted before; i would like for those answers to remain.
View 5 RepliesI have an object that gets attached to the stage everytime I click (like a side shooting game). What I want is the object to have a speed in a specific direction. I got it to work by the code-
Code:
if (total_bolt_no>0) {
var bolt_name="bolt"+total_bolt_no;
var bolt_n:Sprite=this.getChildByName(bolt_name) as heroweapon;
[Code].....
The problem that arises is that when I spawn another object the previous one becomes still. I tried using the for loop but everytime I click the angle also changes, thus changing the speed of all attached objects.
The following code works fine but always on Top Layer. How can I bring it down?
Code:
var mySwf1:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("AnalogClock.swf", {width:225, height:225, container:this, onComplete:completeHandler1});
mySwf1.load();[code]....
Is it possible to make a custom cursor with restraints (meaning you only see the cursor when you put your mouse in a certain spot, by defining both the max and min of the x & y), that is placed inside a movie clip; then make the movie clip move on the stage when you click certain buttons.

im trying to make an object move away from the cursor when cursor goes near it, so basically you cant click on the object......

View 13 RepliesI am doing a website in which I load a bunch of movies with an empty first frame to different levels in the first frame of the main movie. When I want to see each movie I have a button which tells a specific level to gotoandplay (2). Every time I "play" a loaded movie, I also tell all the others to gotoandstop (1) - so I wont see them anymore.Is it possible to make a loaded swf to "jump" to a much higher level - and all the other movies go back to a lower level? this way I wont have to make my movies go back to frame 1 all the time.
View 3 Repliesi've got that when you click a button it takes you to the next frame/level of the game, but i want to make the next level harder, meaning you have to kill all the enemies to goto the next frame/level, so, how do i make it so you have to click ALL 3 buttons on the stage to go to the next frame? Or is there another way to do this?

View 2 RepliesAm trying to make a 3 level flash menu. I'm getting into Flash and Actionscript 3 all in all so I'm a beginner as well.I'm also using TweenLite for the tweening and I got as far as the attachment goes. The problem is that when the 3rd and last level comes out on a mouse hover, ok so far so good, when the mouse goes over that 3rd part, the "menu goes back" animation is triggered as if I hovered out of the whole menu It probably sounds confusing, a flash file is worth a million words so check it out. The .fla is for CS3+
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to make a layer transparent?
And is there a way to make a symbol transparent?
ok i'll try and explain this best i can, on my site i have a menu that takes up the whole of the content area.. the plan is that when the user clicks the menu button within a content page the menu would appear over the top however with a slightly transparent background so you can still see the last visible content page in the layer underneath.. i've got this to work however the buttons within the content page are still active.. is there a way i can make the menu layer 'solid' so the content below is only visible but not accessible?
View 5 RepliesI wonder how it is possible to do a working link on a .swf file to open a new URL. The link is working but it seems that the second Blue layer where the "button" is created is not transparent as this is on top of the animation. So the only thing that is seen is this blue layer when presented in the HTML. I think the problem is that the 2:nd layer isn�t transparent and I dont know how to make it transparent? I think the problem is on step 2?
1. Import the .flv file.
2. Create a new layer wich in this case is Blue (How to make it transparent ?)
3. Draw a rectangle the same size as your banner
4. Go to the Modify menu and select 'Convert to Symbol'
5. In the pop up window make sure the behaviour is set to 'button'
6. Then in your Behaviours panel click on add behaviour (+ symbol at the top) and select option web/goto web page
7. enter url of page, in this case [URL]

View 4 RepliesIs there a piece of code that will make always make an object the top layer? I have a three types of buttons on two layers (about 15 in one, 4 in the other) and a banner comes up when you roll over them. The banner will cover some of the buttons, but be overlapped by others. I want the banner to completely cover all buttons during the roll over.

I have a shape on a layer and I have used a bunch of motion tweens on it. I need to dynamically move that shape but I can not figure out a way to accomplish this. Have I painted myself into a corner with this one?
View 1 RepliesOn one layer I have a gallery loading the content from an xml file. On the layer above I have two square blocks on either side of the screen, with a gap in the middle for where the main picture will be displayed. The two blocks are 50%percent alpha. This is because the gallery thats loaded, loads the images in a line, which is movable, whereby the user can click either the left or right image and the gallery moves along, displaying the next or previous image into the middle spot where there are no blocks shading it.

How i would go about making a sort of increasing transparency layer..
say i have a movieclip which is scrolling back and forth horizontally ..
as it reaches its extremes ( were i want it to start being hidden) i do not want it to be completly hidden right away .. but i want it to look more and more hidden the further into the extreme it goes , so it looks as if its fading when it scrolls to the side.
I have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline
mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1);
mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}
[code]....
I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.
This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.
I'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.
