Actionscript :: Duplicate Movieclip To New Layer?

Jun 7, 2011

Ok, I know layers dont exist once compiled and that duplicated movieclips cannot be duplicated to new levels but I need some kind of work around here.

I cannot use the library as the movieclip I am duplicating is dynamically generated by actionscript (a graph based on user input over time) and thus cannot be made by me beforehand as it varies.

I need to somehow make a duplicate of this on a layer above the where the original was made, anyone know how this is possible?

Copied/duplicate Layer's Image Changing?

Jul 30, 2009

I have just taken over a Flash website for a friend (like two days ago!) He needs me to add a picture to a movie in his website. He likes how the previous designer has the images fading in and out not a slide show, i 10 layers with actions on each) so I figured I could duplicate/copy an existing layer & paste it into a new one... but here is my problem, when I change out the image on the new layer it also changes the image from the copied layer. What am I doing wrong?

Symbols Edit Item In All Frames Of A Timeline Layer In Flash CS5

Sep 27, 2010

I'm confused as to how Flash CS5 treats symbol instances across different frames in a given layer; If I add an object to a layer, and then add a keyframe to the existing frame set, are there now two instances of the object, one for each frame? When I change the color of the instance in the first key frame, the second keyframes instance stays the same. Is there anyway to edit across all frames? Paste across all frames?

Is there a way to change the background color of the layers the Flash timeline itself? I'm using XP, and there is not enough difference in the color of a selected layer and one with extended keyframes that is not selected. At school I use a Mac and there is definitely a blue vs. a gray. On my computer, they are two very close shades of gray.

ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Images Loaded To A Layer Under Animated Timeline?

Feb 10, 2011

I want to load jpgs using an external XML file into a flash layer and have a timeline playing over the top of them. I invision having photos loaded to a box on the left side of the stage covering 1/3 of the area, and then loading photos also to a box on the right side of the stage while an animation plays of the clients logo in the middle 1/3 of the stage area. My Action script skills are very limited. I have been able in the pass to modify what I have found on the web to work for my purposes. But, I have not been able to find anything that has multiple players on one stage or anything close. I created a swf that alternates loading an image on left and then right but it plays over the top of ... and then loads a third image behind the client logo in the middle covering the entire stage. But I would be happy with just a left and right alternating if possible.

ActionScript 3.0 :: MUTE A Sound Embedded In A Timeline Layer?

Feb 25, 2009

I am developing a flash web site using ACTIONSCRIPT 3. There is a menu of small icons that, when one of them is clicked, the program loads the correspondent SWF into a loader and then presents it in a "virtual screen" ( a rectangular area ) in the web page. The problem is that some of these child SWFs have an embedded background sound and I DO NOT KNOW how to mute them from the main SWF when a user decides to do so by clicking a "mute" button.

Each SWF embedded sound has its own layer in its timeline and is set as Sync: Event, Repeat:1.

ActionScript 2.0 :: When Click The Letter Movieclip It Does Create The Duplicate As It Should And It Starts To Drag The Duplicate Mc

Mar 20, 2010

My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Convert Layer To Movie Clip Or Print Layer?

Aug 9, 2010

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)

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Draggin MovieClips In A Layer Beneath Another Layer?

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.

How To Have Outline Sketch On Layer A And Color On Layer B

Nov 5, 2009

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.
