ActionScript 2.0 :: Swapping Depths With A Fade?

Jan 6, 2005

I want to swap depths on movieclips overlaying each other but instead of the new clip on rollover just popping up over the other one, i want it to fade into the top.

here is an attached .fla file in mx2004 format.

for those not using 2004, here is the code:

PHP Code:

but1.onRollOver = but2.onRollOver = but3.onRollOver = but4.onRollOver = function() {     this.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth()); }; 

Also, is there a way to streamline this code so i dont have to type the button instance names every time i add another?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent.removeChild(child) Doesn't Update Parent Width / Height When Child Was Rotated

Jul 29, 2011

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.[code]Sprite2 is a rectangle. When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent.removeChild(child) Doesn't Update Parent Width/height When Child Was Rotated

Jul 29, 2011

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.

When Sprite2 is NOT rotated:

Code:
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 250.
SpriteP.removeChild(Sprite2)
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 200. -> works, 200 is good.
When Sprite2 is rotated at 90:

And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200. But if I rotate Sprite2, the Parent won't update its bounds.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Positioning Parent MC In Order To Center Child MC On Parent's Parent MC

Feb 5, 2010

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Clip To The Stage As A Child And Remove The Parent And Set The Parent Equal To Null?

Sep 11, 2010

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child? 

In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.

If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tab Indexing Loop Through Parent, External Child Swf, Back To Parent?

Nov 11, 2009

I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.

I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.

ActionScript 3.0 :: DropTarget Parent Child - Removechild Won't Remove A Child

Aug 21, 2010

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

Flash - Drag Child Mc Out Of Parent Mc And Add To New Parent Mc?

Oct 6, 2010

Here is a working script to drag drop a ball from the stage into another target mc:

ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ [code]...

It works well but I'm new to AS3 and I am having difficulty amending this script to drag the ball out of a parent mc (instead of the stage) and onto another mc (the target mc). To explain: imagine a ball, a box, a tri, + more shapes all within a scrolling mc (initial parent), the user scrolls to select a shape, then drag-drops onto a target mc on the stage.The scrolling is no problem, but how would you amend the script above so that the ball can start inside a parent mc rather than on the stage itself?

Handle M:M Entity Relationships In Flex / Java Web Application?

Dec 21, 2010

I am struggling to come up with a way to efficiently manage Flex entities that have a many-to-many relationships between their JPA/Java counter parts.[code]Both of these entities can exist independently of each other and both have a 1:M relationship with the other. The relationship is not really owned by one side or the other.Within the application there are Flex UI's that sometimes want to see viewers based on movies and other UI's that want to see movies based on viewers.Currently both the Movies.Viewers and Viewers.Movies collections are lazy loaded by JPA which works fine. The problem is that every time I ask a viewer for it's list of movies, then they all get sent over the wire and then within Flex I end up with a bunch of Movie objects that (often, not always) duplicate the ones I already have there.

It seems inefficient at best and could likely cause errors if the duplicate objects are not dealt with.In my real application I have tons of these types of relationships all over some very large object graphs.It almost seems to me that the lazy loaded object collections need to be turned into eagerly loaded collections of foreign keys which are used to explicitly load objects on the Flex side of things. But this seems like I am writing a JPA provider in Flex! Is the correct answer to never store state in a Flex application? (Yikes)I should add that all my value objects have a UID that is created on the server side, so I could somehow use that to find/remove duplicates on the Flex side. But how?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving A Child To A New Parent?

Sep 3, 2011

Some forums suggested to simple add the child to the new parent and it would automatically be removed from the old parent. However, these were Actionscript 2.0 forums and the suggestion didn't work - it removed the child but never added it back.MovieClip(root).bmc.addChildAt(currentLetter, 0);Is it possible to take a child from one parent and add it to another in AS3?

AS3 :: Child Moves Parent Using StartDrag?

Nov 8, 2009

I have a MovieClip instance which can be moved around the stage using startDrag() and stopDrag(). The instance also has some child MovieClips using addChild(). The parent moves the children when dragging, which is fine. The children have there own startDrag() and stopDrag() which should apply only to the child object, however it also moves the parent and other children. When clicking a child the MouseEvent of the child is being called but so is the parent.

public class Component extends MovieClip {
private var nodes_array:Array = new Array();
public function Component() {
x = 60;

Actionscript 3 :: Child Object Outside Parent?

Im using the following code to place an object inside a container:

testParent = new MovieClip();
testParent.graphics..beginFill(0x0000FF);
testParent.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 300, 300);

[Code].....

this gives the testParent object a margin of 50 from top and left. The testChild object should have have the same margin relative to stage. But doesnt.. The child object is at 0,0 relative to stage. Whats causing this?...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Child Swf Talking To Parent SWF?

I have a SWF file that I call the a parent, it imports a number of SWF(children) which I can switch through. is it possible to have a function in the parent SWF that the child SWF can launch?

The reason I need this is because each child SWF is a sort of small game, so when each game is finished I need some kind of way to let the parent SWF know that the player can continue.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Communication From Child To Parent

Jun 30, 2010

I have a blank fla with a symbol in its library. The symbol, a MovieClip, has timeline action in it. It's about 15 frames long. I want it to tell the MainTimeLine when it's done.I must be going about it the wrong way.First, I make a variable to hold the child.I call the MovieClip from the library, a new instance of itself, declare it a child of the MainTimeLine, and add it.From within the child, I trace it's parent. I get "MainTimeLine".I create a Boolean on the mainTimeLine.When I ask it to set the Boolean, I get the error message:1119: Access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type flash.display DisplayObjectContainer.I've attached a zip of the fla.
