ActionScript 3 :: Layer Order - AddChild MovieClip To Correct Sprite
Oct 23, 2011
I created two empty Sprites to serve as layers, bottom_spr and top_spr. When clicking a button, a MovieClip appears and follows your mouse, until you click, then its position is fixed. As soon as the button is clicked, I addChild the MovieClip to the correct Sprite. Unfortunately, the layer system doesn't see to work, because they are layered in the order I place them, the Sprites don't seem to influence it. How is this possible?
private var ground_spr:Sprite;
private var units_spr:Sprite;
public function Game() {
addEventListeners();
ground_spr = new Sprite();

Then the numericStepper is drawn as if it is squished to 20% its normal height. If I pre-set mySprite width and height before adding the numericstepper, the trace output is 0,0 after adding it and it is not displayed at all. Is there some way I can make the sprite only adjust to correctly fit the numericStepper OR resize it afterwards without distorting the numericStepper component?

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.

I'm getting a large JSON string and decoding it into an object, i'm looping through this object to create the interface. The problem is it seems to build the interface in a random order, is this because actionscript 3 loops through the properties of the object randomly?

I'm having issues displaying movie clips in the correct order. I'm pulling in data from an xml file, in this case images and then create movie clips to hold them. I'm getting the right order from the actual Array when looping through the xml file but when I create the clips the order gets all screwed up. how to order the clips exactly the way they are in the array?

I'm using addChild(new nmonster()) to populate an on stage MC from my Library.
Instead of specifying the Symbol, I want to add it using an Array reference, like addChild(new monsterArray[0]()). I've tried a number of variations, but AS3.0 is unforgiving.

I have some code that looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
level_btn.x = 50 + (i - 1) % 10 * 50;
It sets the x location of my level button. But this is in a for loop (that's what the 'i' is for.) I run it and everything works perfectly, as it should, not a single problem. Then I press the auto format button in the flash actionscript editor. (It's the button that adds all of the ; to the end of each line and other stuff)
Well that changes my code to this:
ActionScript Code:
level_btn.x = 50 + i - 1 % 10 * 50;
thinking it's done me a favour but it hasn't. It's got rid of the brackets so it won't do the maths functions in the correct order. I've tried adding more brackets in places and other stuff but I just don't know how to fix it. It's annoying because every time I press the auto format button I have to add the brackets in again.

I have five simple equations that I need help converting to ActionScript. I'm making a small "calculator" that takes input from the user and displays a number representing the result of the equation. They're two sets of equations: 1) three-scenario fee calculator to compare the annual costs (X) of renting versus buying equipment; 2) comparison of two rental plans. The numbers entered need to stay the same - the alphabets represent what the user will input. The equations are as follows:
Scenario 1:
X = ([A � F] / G) + H + I + J + (K x 12) + ([L / N] x M)
Scenario 2:
X = ([B � F] / G) + ([E x C] / G) + H + I + J + (K x 12) + ([L / N] x M)[code]....
I've looked at my resources at hand, but my brain just shuts down when I see numbers and letters representing numbers. I do speak three languages fluently, so I (think) I make up for it.how to properly assign the correct order of events (brackets first, etc) in ActionScript to reflect the equations above.

I have a movie on stage that acts as a button using the code. person_mc.buttonMode = true;
I load an image onto the stage from my library using addChild(holiday);
What happens is that the person_mc button I have on stage will not function anymore, because I am presuming it is underneath the holiday pic when I loaded it using addChild.
How do I load the holiday pic, so that it is underneath the person_mc?
I know I could do what I did with holiday using addChild for the person_mc, but I do not want to do it that way.

Is there any method with which I can get to know which of the two movieclips I'm using is lying above or below in the timeline 'layer' arrangement in flash.
what I'm asking is if have two movieclips 'a' and 'b'. One in layer 10 of timeline of flash professional and 'b' on layer 1. Will be able to change the index order using pure as3 code to visually keep the movieclip on the 10th layer on top of the movieclip on 1st layer?

loading 2 external swfs into one main file using 1 preloader, I have figured out how to get the preloader to handle the correct # of bytes loaded and such but my 1st swf I want to load onto the stage is a video file and I want it as the background but I don't want it to start until after they are both (the video and main file - 2 external swfs) loaded and then I want to start the video and place it on the stage first, then place the main swf on the stage.
I can get the order right if I place them into my load complete function but then my buttons don't work on the main file.
Here is the code:
var bytesLoadedVidBG:Number = new Number();var bytesTotalVidBG:Number = new Number();var loader0:Loader = new Loader(); // load video BGvar loadedSWF0:Object;loader0.load(new

Here's some code I created as an answer to another question. It pulls a library item out of the library and puts it on stage programmatically. No big deal, except that in order to get the image displayed on the screen to actually update, I had to removeChild() and then addChild() it back. Is there another way to force the screen to redraw?
[Code]....
Note that in this example, this code is on frame 1 of the timeline. It _feels_ like imageClip is not a direct reference to the thing that's actually on the display list. However, when I modified my code to replace the reference to the AS variable imageClip with a more direct reference to the element on the stage (imageClip = getChildAt(1)), that made no difference either.

I am trying to create a dynamic scrolling list in Flash AS3. When I create a list, I set it to be an initial length. Later, I add more objects to the list which is outside of the original size of the list. I want to be able to scroll down the list and see all the objects. My scrollbar just moves the list's y position. However, every object that is drawn outside the original list size is not shown when I run the program and scroll. I have a list object which has the function below when I need to add content to the list. When I initialize the list, I give it an initial height and width which I use to create a mask.
public function AddPlayers(pPlayers:Array, pScrollBar:ScrollBar):void {
var player:Player;
trace("happened again");
for (var i:int = 0; i < pPlayers.length; i++)
player = pPlayers[i];

I'm trying to do a PrintJob and before I send the sprite away, I want to organize the info so I thought putting multiple Sprites in a single "printable" sprite would be the way to go. The weird thing is, when I addChild one of the Sprites, it turns back.
Here's my code:
Code:
public function impressionImage(toPrint:Sprite, textToPrint:String):void {
//Cr�ation de la PrintJob
[code]...
I removed all the lines that were in comments, and here's the code that's left. The problem comes with the "contTextEtImage" sprite. If I keep it like this and I print it, everything is fine, but if I put it inside "printable", it turn all black, as if it was a huge black bitmap.

I am adding a sprite to the stage on the event of a button being pressed. The problem is that it hides behind my other sprite that is attached to the stage on runtime. I have also tried messing around with addChildAt() but with no success.The other sprite that is attached on runtime is added to the stage through a class. Could the sprite within the class be disrupting the layering/z order?

I have to drag all of the 4 contents, into the target. apparently, i am able to do that, but the problem i'm facing right now, is the button that is on stage, is suppose to check if the movieclip are in the right place, which i set them.

This is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.

i have a movie clip(called gfx_pmp) inside of my movieclip (called mc_pmp) and i wanted to add a child to that movieclip gfx_pmp
thought i could use this code
mc_pmp.gfx_pmp.addChild(my_mediafile)
but it doesn't seem to work. when i ran a trace on mc_pmp.gfx_pmp it returned null as a value
trace(mc_pmp.gfx_pmp)
//returns null
i dont see what the issue is here, or why the trace on that is returning null
[object mc_pmp_43]

I want to make absolutely sure there are no memory leaks or resource management problems.Here's what I've got so far in my document class:

I'm trying to get the depths of all the blocks to be at the correct levels at the correct times so that the 3d effect is maintained. I've tried many things, but have had little success. All the instances of the blocks are stored in an array, but since it's adding them in accordance with when they're added to the stage, it doesn't help me locate them to swap depths. Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?

I have two dynamic textfield and they are both within two movieclips because I have action to rotate , enlarge and move the related movieclip so that the text changed accordingly.
But there is problem like after I record the position after modification to database and retrieve them back to the flashpage. The position of the movieclips are changed or maybe it is the textfield's position within the movieclips are changed which I have no exact idea what happened.
So could any one who can give some suggesion how should I arrange the textfield within the movieclip and how to keep track of the right position after enlargement or rotations,etc then?
Isn't it I have to consider the relative position of the textfield to the movieclip at the beginning.
