I'm trying to switch cursors on mouse over but I think my roll over/outs are being triggered over and over again, because when I trace the function, it just keeps printing. Here is where the function is called and I swap the cursors:
owl_shadow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over_over_handler);
function over_over_handler (evt:Event):void
{
removeChild(default_cursor);

how to stop the repeating and flickering?
I'm creating a simple AS3 based navigation bar that has a child that comes up when you rollover the Portfolio button. Problem is rolling out. See if you mouse out of the button you lose the child. Now you should but only when you're out of the area of both the button and the child. Not just the button. Like most navbars you see on websites. How can I achieve this using AS3?

THIS THREAD IS SOLVED.. Answer lies upon a website tutorial. Final Page on this Thread.So far so good, i've gotten most my as2 to as3.. And coming out good Buttons are working, The only last part im working on is upon shooting, it'll bring in the calls to Fire the missle.. (tracein the button works great).
[Code]...
This is what im trying.. But it says undefined use for addchild.. so im taking im missing somthing..
(the missile is a animation graphic i created).I have made a Missile.as to control what the missle does when its addchild is placed on stage. Problem is, (addchild isnt doing it) and im not sure if its going to shoot out the nose of the hero..
i have to make an addchild to a movieclip, but i really don't know how to make it with a dynamic name.
for example
private function buttonClicked(nameOfTheButt:String):void
{
thumbs.addChild(nameOfTheButt);

I'm trying to make a basic mouesover and mouseout that will display a help/key box on the screen. I created the help box that will be displayed as a symbol called helpbox. I updated the linkage to export to Actionscript and called the class Helpme. The object I'm using to instantiate the Helpme class is a small graphic called helpcoast. I want the "helpbox" in the new class "Helpme" to be displayed only when the mouse is over the helpcoast graphic. When I test the movie and mouse over and mouse out of the graphic once, I get no errors, but if I mouse over it, then off it, then back over again, I get this error in the output box:

I'm trying to have a class file which can add objects to the stage via addChild; however, when I call addChild from within the class file, I get the error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild." I've tried importing flash.display.* and that doesn't fix the problem. Does the class file have to extend Sprite or MovieClip to be able to add objects to the stage?

I'm trying to use the setChildIndex(); property to move a mc to the top of the stage when that particular mc is clicked on. I'm still not sure what is meant to go in the parentheses? Sorry, still new to AS3.0. The mc has it's own class called Ball and this is where I'm calling the setChildIndex property, in the dragIt function. Here's the code for the Ball class....

know how to set the Child Index for a video inAS3 ? I have a class that extends the video class and I call it from my main class file. In my main class file I have other Movie Clips that I wan to put on top of the video instance
View 2 RepliesI am trying to set a Sprite's z-index to topmost on mouseOver. In my mouseOver event I am calling:this.parent.setChildIndex(this, this.parent.numChildren - 1);If I trace the index of this before and after the call, the index has changed but my sprite still appears to be behind it's siblings.I am changing the scale of the object on mouseOver as well
View 3 RepliesFor the life of me, I cannot understand this method. The help files are confusing to me, and I can't locate anything else on the web that explains how it works.
What I have is an array of 5 objects closely in a row, that tween and expand on a MOUSE_OVER. Trouble is, I want the object to be in front of the others on the MOUSE_OVER, but part of it is always beneath the object to its right or left. Here's the code I have:
Code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, setupVars);
function setupVars(e:Event):void {
trace("Entering setupVars");
//The following removes the Event.ENTER_FRAME listener so that it does not activate 30 times a second.
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,setupVars);
var myArray:Array = [box1_mc, box2_mc, box3_mc, box4_mc, box5_mc];
for(var i:Number = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
myArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, boxOver);
myArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, boxOut);
myArray[i].buttonMode = true;
}
}
var box:Tween;
var box2: Tween;
function boxOver(ev:Event):void {
box = new Tween(ev.target, "width", Elastic.easeIn, 100, 130, .5, true);
box = new Tween(ev.target, "height", Elastic.easeIn, 100, 130, .5, true);
trace("yay, it works")
}
function boxOut(ev:Event):void {
box2 = new Tween(ev.target, "width", Elastic.easeOut, 130, 100, 1, true);
box2 = new Tween(ev.target, "height", Elastic.easeOut, 130, 100, 1, true);
trace("yay, this one works, too")
}
Could someone be so kind as to help me with the setChildIndex method? I want any particular box to be in front of the others on the OVER.
What I have is an array of 3 pictures in a column, that expand on a MOUSE_OVER. I want the picture to be in front of the others on the MOUSE_OVER, but part of it is always beneath.

var studioGallery:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(studioGallery);

I tried to add the following line of code on OnOver as I saw it in another thread, but it gives me an error message:
Code:
this.setChildIndex(this.getChildByName(evt.currentTarget.name), this.numChildren-1);
I have the followings:
_p:Player (which is a MC)
a1:Animation1 (which is a MC)
_p.addChild(a1); //doesn't display anything
_p.stage.addChild(a1); //displays a1
Why won't the MC display a child without using his stage?

The newMC doesn't show up.If I add 'parent.' in front of the addChild then it appears.mc_LibItem has a base class of "flash.display.MovieClip" and is exporting for ActionScript and on frame one.For grins I created a new .fla and began messing around with the same addChild idea and it worked.
I am creating multiple sprites on the stage using structured classes as shown below, I would like every time I click on one of these sprites to make it go on top of all previously created sprites. I would also like to know if this can be implemented from within the last class "class c" onMouseDown function.

I'm making an android air application for school, a sketch app.But I'm facing an annoying problem, when I'm drawing I can draw over my bar and my menu, here's some code:

In Flash, some of the objects I put on the stage directly (e.g. mc_), and some of the objects are using "add child" function to be put on the stage.For some reason, I need to use setchildIndex function in frame 15 to bring the object (mc_A on the top my stage.But this causes a problem that is, object A is always there from frame 1-15.Actually I don't need mc_A on frame 1. So in order to remove object I use removeChild or set mc_A.visible=false, but it doesn't work because I got the typeError said "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." I know it makes sense because mc_A is not in frame 1. Of course, it couldn't access to the object.I attach an example file, hope it could describe my problem more clearly.Attachments:setChildIndex.fla.zip (7.2 K)

I'm having reel trouble trying to bring a movieclip to the front using setChildIndex. I have 3 movieclips that are being loaded into a movieclip that sits on the stage. I'm using:
[Code]...
the code which works over stage, is not working properly over a movieclip..sample, i have many objects to stay at different indexes at flash..with that code block below. I add 300 mc's to stage,
Code:
for (var j:Number = 0; j<300; j++) {
var mc2:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChildAt(mc2, j);
}
TO be able to change indexes with different items.. i have random movieclips which have to be placed indexes between 5 and 300.. And everything goes great when i do this directly at stage..But when i do this with a movieclip.. example;
Code:
for (var i:Number = 0; i<300; i++) {
var mc3:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
my_mc.addChildAt(mc3, i);
}
i can't see the movieclips inside.. but i know they are at their right indexes..but somehow they are getting behind those fake movieclips..
I've got a movie with some buttons in the middle of the screen. I've got a tween on the buttons to make them grow/shrink on rollOver/rollOut, when a button is clicked, I've got a frame animation that moves the buttons to the top of the screen and shrinks them. This all works fine.
When the buttons grow, they need to appear on top of all the other buttons. Since there's no more swapDepths, I'm using setChildIndex to move the rolled over button to the top. Now, when I click one of the buttons (after rolling over it), any of the buttons I've rolled over aren't affected by the frame animation.[code]...
I have a bunch of movie clips set up to the same instance names as the ones mentioned in the follwoing code using this. however I am trying to make it so that when clicked, the mouse click event will cause the selected item to be set to the front of the stage and not to be overlapped by anything in front of it. I have been doing research and know its done using setChildIndex but evertime I try and implement it I get errors I muse be doing something wrong could one show me in this code where the 2 or 3 lines of code would go?
