ActionScript 3 :: How To Detect On Which Layer Instance Located
Jan 15, 2012
I would like to know how to detect on which layer is an instance located. For example I put a circle named bob on the first layer and a square named test on the second layer. In actionscript, can I detect on which layer is test. I want to use this because in my game I will put all the non solid objects on the first layer and all the solid objects on the second layer and I want to detect in actionscript which instances are located in which layers.

I have a Flash movie that is embedded in an HTML page that has a DIV in a layer over the top of the movie. The Flash movie scrolls based on the mouse position over the movie. The client wants the scrolling to stop when the mouse is over the DIV. I've tried using the mouseLeave event, but that is not triggered by the DIV.
Is there a way that the Flash movie can detect when the mouse is over the DIV?[code]...

The mc instance called float1 is being multiplied and placed all over the place throughout 5 layers thanks to this code. How can I add ONE SINGLE different instance in the topmost layer? I don't mean just floating there, but in the TOPMOST layer. If anyone did it, could you also tell me how to position the instance in the matrix/layer?
ActionScript Code:
var randint = int(Math.random() * 2) + 1; // get a number between 10-69
//define number of layer.
var numLayersuint = 5;

I've created an button object in flash. The button contains 2 layers. One is the background image and on top of it is a textField. The textfield is dynamic. I use the button inside a movieclip and I export it in a SWC. The I'm trying to use it in flex.
I'm trying to do this:
var myComponent:MyComponent = new MyComponent();
myComponent.button01.theTextField.text = "Caption";
I get and instance of the button(myComponent.button01 is not null in Flex debugger), but the instance of the textField(myComponent.button01.theTextField) is null and I'm not able to change the text(but the default text appears onscreen). The code is compiled correctly in flex.
I exported the in swc the button control as well. So the button is not the default SimpleButton from Flash, but an derived class generated by flash(with the same name as the symbol defined in flash). It contains theTextField memeber, which is null.
Here is the button timeline(Layer 2 contains the textfield, and the textfield instance is named theTextField):

I've got this code on my frame:
if (_root.count <= 20) {
duplicateMovieClip("_root.clip", "clip"+_root.count, _root.count);
_root["clip"+_root.count]._x = random(500)+50;
_root["clip"+_root.count]._y = random(1)+20;
}
And I need to figure out how to have the hitTest see the randomly generated instances of this duplicated mc.
I can get the hitTest to see the first instance (called "clip"), but then it doesn't see all the rest.
Here's the code I have on the hitTestMC:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.chime1, hitTest(_root.clip)) {
_root.chime1.gotoAndPlay("play1");
}
}

I am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer. That has been fine, but now I want to loop it and I usually put my actions in the top layer. Will this cause a problem? Am I better off just putting my loop action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?

Im creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)

I can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.

I want to create a simple mask. A white oval on a second layer on top of a bottom layer that just has a word of type. I want the oval to travel from the upper left down to cover up the type. When I create the second layer, create the oval, and choose a distant frame for the "end" of the oval's positioning, my type in the first layer disappears as soon as I press F6 on that second layer. Why? Why is it nuking my first layer?

I have a container MovieClip called Drags where I can drag stamps (other MovieClips)--they are added to the Drags container via addChild. I have a second container MovieClip above that one (display order-wise) call Paint that contains a bmp, and some sprites used for adding a layer of paint.
My question is this: I need to be able to click on the Paint layer when I am above a draggable MovieClip and trigger the MouseEvent for the correct object to drag it around, but the item must always remain below the Paint layer.

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

I'm trying to do a little comic comedy type video in Flash. I've done an outline sketch with the pen tool of my first character, now I want to color it BUT I want to keep the colors and the outline sketch separated on two different layers. Is there a way I can select the path (outline) on layer A and then colorize it with the bucket tool on layer B? The problem I'm having is that every object I select it automatically jumps to that corresponding layer.
One reason why I want to do it this way is I still want to continue working freely on the outline sketch since it's not fully finished, so that I just can blend the colors out and keep working on the outline, at the same time I want to color it while I go just to see where it's going and to make sure that I'm not wasting my time unnecessarily with trying to do a outline just to find out that it won't work out at the end.
how to do a comic type animation, how to create the characters, how to make them move and talk? It can be a free or paid resource.

I want to check for the _x value of an MC, then move every MC that is to the right of that MC left by 60px (-60).
For example, let's say I have an MC called "Main".Within Main is a bunch of MCs, I'll call them "obj1", "obj2", "obj3", and "obj4". Let's assume they are positioned in that order from left to right.I want to be able to check for the _x value of obj2, and move all MC's to the right of it (in this case obj3 and obj4) to the left by 60px, and of course keep obj1 in its current position because it's to the left of obj2.

Is it possible to add layers, re-order layers, move movieclips from layer to layer or specify which layer a duplicate movieclip appears on at runtime with AS3?I am aware of the depth properties and the functions associated with that but it would be easier to have a concept of a layer because I am dealing with masks.I have a nasty feeling I'm gonna be told that layers don't really exist within an swf and that depths and setmask are all there is to work with.

create an SWF file that can play mp3 files directly from the server, without the need for a streaming media server or external JS.
And also for the application to read the current directory its located in and build a playlist based on the files inside.

I have written a Flex Library project - a .swc file - which is supposed to read default configuration from a XML file inside .swc. This .swc file would be used by other modules to perform some operation. I am unable to make the URLLoader to load the XML inside the .swc file.When i run this as a normal Flex project, things work fine without any issue. With swc, it looks bin-debug folder for the XML and not inside .swc. I want the URLLoader to look inside .swc for the config file. How do i achieve this?
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("config.xml"));
For the above code i get the following error:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL:

I was just playing around with the script wondering how to modify where the thumbnails can be located and can you make them run vertically by adjusting the hit_left and hit_right? I have tried loading the swf into a window of my main swf (loadMovie("waters.swf", "window") and it throws off the location of the scroll.
