Actionscript 3 :: Way To Keep An Object Always At The Top Of The Display List?
Oct 7, 2010Is there a way to make a display object always be at the top of the display list?For example, I know you can set the childIndex, i.e:setChildIndex(myDisplayObject, numChildren-1);But is there a way that an object has sensed that something else has been added to the display list and restack themselves accordingly?

Feb 24, 2011I have an object that controls another object that is on the display list.
The setup looks like this:
Parent (Main Timeline)
- Child
-- Grandchild --> contains instance of behaviour class that controls the grandchild's movement
I have an event in the "behaviour" that I'd like to reach the parent, but the behavior does not extend Sprite or MovieClip.
How can I get this event to reach the parent?
Actionscript 3 :: Removing Object From The Display List?
May 10, 2011I have an application that uses a main class to control other MovieClips, adding and removing them as needed, most of them are separate screens or sub menus.
When I leave the main menu and come back to it later from another screen, certain animations and roll over buttons still play, which I don't want, I basically need the main menu screen to reset every time it is seen.
I read up on this and found out that removing the child doesn't necessarily remove it from the memory.
I tried setting the mainmenu to null before moving onto a different screen but this threw up an error, stating that the parameter child must be none null.
how to completely kill my mainmenu when it is not needed.
public function confSubMenuOneScreen():void {
subMenuOneScreen = new SubMenuOne();
mainmenu = null;
[Code].....
This is the example of code that removes the menu and adds another screen, with the mainmenu = null code that throws up the error.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Target An Event At Object Not In The Display List?
Jun 7, 2010I'm trying to dispatch a custom event from a custom class (which implements IEventDispatcher) to another custom class (also implements IEventDispatcher) but I cannot trigger the corresponding event handlers.The classes are instantiated at different parts of the application: one on the main canvas and the other on the back-end (data side) of the app. Neither of these is part of the display list hierarchy and I need them to communicate through events.I've looked through adobe docs, the web and Mook's Essential AS3, but have come up with nothing...
View 4 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Non-display List Parent Object?
Jul 12, 2009I need to access a non-display list top-level (Parent? Ancestor? What's the correct term?) object from a display list object, and I don't know how.
In my code, ResultX is an instance of my custom class Result. Card is a sprite, a visual representation of the ResultX object, defined inside the Result class and attached (or removed) to the stage via a separate function inside the result class as needed.
I want to refer to the correct Result object when the user clicks on the corresponding card to call a function there. In accessing the sprite manually, ResultX.card works fine, but I don't know how to go upwards trough the path - card.parent (or actually target.parent, since it's done via event) just returns Main, of course.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Bring Object To Front Of Display List?
Dec 8, 2009I'm trying to create an image class that I can reuse throughout a website I'm making.
When you click an image i want it to expand to fill the screen. When this happens obviously it will have to be at the top of the display list so that none of the other objects on the website are above it. The problem is that I want to be able to use this class throughout the website, even within containers that are beneath other objects so it seems impossible to simply bring it to the front easily?
Edit: Maybe when you click an image it would create a replica on top of the current image but above all the other objects on the main stage - then expand that one instead of the original image in the container? Theres got to be a better method though... I can't imagine this working too smoothly.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Object Does Not Show On Screen Once Re-added To Display List?
Nov 3, 2011I have an object that is instantiated, then placed into a property within a singleton (single instance) object. When a button is clicked an event is dispatched carrying a payload that references the display object that is held within the Singleton. When the event is heard, my view object adds the object to the display list e.g. addChild().The Item shows. Now If I hit another button an event is dispatched, and a new item is added to the display list via the method above and is seen. The 1st object is removed from the display list Here is my problem. When I click the button to load the 1st Object the above process is executed again but the object does not show.
I can run trace statements from the object that is supposed to be visible and they run fine. I even do a check to see if the visible property is set to true, and it is, but not object is on my screen. Code for this process.
//custom event carries the name of the page aka display object. this is a string
dispatchEvent(new MenuEvent(MenuEvent.CHANGE_VIEW_STATE, event.payload));
//When the event is heard, the following condinial is run

ActionScript 3.0 :: Display List Manipulation Removes Object From Frame?
Nov 16, 2010I've got these Flash students I TA for a course, and they are doing drag and drop exercises and have come across some weirdness.(They are using a frames based design to represent different pages of activity, with a menu to goto each frame under user control.)At author time:
1. they set up drag and drop as3 for an object on a particular frame.
2. when startDrag is initiated, they moved the dragged object to the top of the display list, so it appears to float above all other objects as the user drags.
at runtime,a problem appears:the object seems to have been pulled out of the frame, and now floats in a display list above any frame that may be advanced to.What's going on here? It's like the object got pulled off the authortime stage and now is disconnected. Going back to the drag and drop frame shows the original object again, reinstanced, along with this copy that got pulled out.

Actionscript 3 :: Get Unrotated Display Object Width/height Of A Rotated Display Object?
Jan 31, 2010If I create a rectangle with 100px width and 100px height and then rotate it, the size of the element's "box" will have increased.With 45 rotation, the size becomes about 143x143 (from 100x100).Doing sometimes like cos(angleRad) * currentWidth seems to work for 45 rotation, but for other bigger angles it doesn't.At the moment I am doing this:
var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
var normalizedWidth = object.width;

Flash - Sorting Display Objects By Their Display List Depth
Aug 5, 2011I have a list containing display objects from throughout the application (insertion order). I want to process the list either top-down (parent, child) or bottom up (child, parent). The only requirement is that either a parent is processed before any child or vice versa a child before its parent. What is a good approach? This question is not about sorting a list. It's about retrieving the depth of a particular display object.
Example
Display list:
A (root)
B1
C1
C2
D1
B2
......
My list:
list = [E1, F4, A, B2, B1, C3, ..., N9, N8]
Bottom-up:
N9, N8, F4, E1, C3, B2, B1, A
Top-down:
A, B2, B1, C3, E1, F4, N9, N8
Does not matter if N9 before N8 or N8 before N9. Important is that any N is before M (first run) or any M before its children N* (second run).

Actionscript 3.0 :: Hit Test - Drag Each Item Around To Reorder The List
Aug 10, 2009I am making a horizontal list that I want to be able to drag each item around to reorder the list. When one clip is dragged over another I want the one under it to move left or right to fill in the empty space left by the clip being dragged. I cannot seem to figure out how to tell which movieclip is touching or "under" the movieclip currently being dragged around. It seems that the hitTestObject method need explicity instance names to work. In summary, I want to know the instance name of any display object that the dragging moveclip touches.
