IDE :: CS4 Stacking Layers?
Mar 22, 2011
I've made my site with photoshop and all images are in *.*png, saved with transparency and in the same resolution 1000x750. I exported them into my working file in Flash. No problems here.I've started to put each of the images in separate layers and in stacking order I wish, still no problems.Now, I am about in 20th layers I am inserting the image, again in separate layer and what happened? The layer will cover over the layer which is almost at the bottom. Meaning...only the trasparency which is very strange.

The attachment contains two screen shots of a movie clip timeline. The images consist of a text mask symbol sliding diagonally other a text layer, and a picture button sliding to the left under an aqua blue mask. When I scrub the timeline -- things work great. But when I view the movie via the control menu, the dynamic text is not displayed. The images illustrate the masking layers in unlocked and locked mode.
I'm using CS4.

the snow effect always acts like the top layer, ok what i mean is, i have 3 layers, (1)toplayer= a car, (2)middle= snow, (3)low= background.I want to make the snow to be seen behind the car...i hope you understand what i mean , whenever i put the code from the link above it acts as the top layer and appears in front of everything.

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 want to load and unload EXTERNAL SWF that contains FLV on mouse click. Loading and unloading the swf is NOT the issue. The problem is how do i get the external swf which contains an flv to stop playing and stacking up on each other.
I can load and unload the swf's as long as I pause the videos before I click on another thumbnail, but if I click on another thumbnail while the external swf is playing it's flv, the previous flv keeps playing and stack up under the newly loaded swf.

I was trying to make a similar thing with the game SameGame (ie. the block above the removed blocks fall downward). Before trying this with an Array that contains MovieClips, this code worked (tried it with int values). With MovieClips on the array, it seems not working the same way.With int values, example:
popUp(0, 4): Before: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10; After: 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10
But with MovieClips:
popUp(0, 4): Before: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10; After; 1,2,3,4
// Assume the numbers are movieclips XD
Basically, it strips everything else, rather than just the said block >_< Here's the whole method. Basically, two extra arrays juggle the values above the soon-to-be removed value, remove the value, then re-stack it to the original array.
function popUp(col:uint, row:uint)
{
var tempStack:Array = new Array();
var extraStack:Array = new Array();

I'm worried about images stacking on top of each other. The thumbnails are loaded using a for loop through XML, (10 thumbnails). And by using event.target.name when you click on any thumbnail it calls a function (showPicture).

I'm trying to call movieclips from the library to the stage. To do so, I have a list of questions in a list. As a user clicks on the questions, the movieclip associated with it will be placed (at the top of a list) on the stage.This part seems to be working.The problem is that all of the movie clips are being stacked on top of each other instead of actually displaying in a list.[code]

I have a dynamic text box that reads data from an external file using the htmlText and load() functions. My external file contains HTML code for images. I want to have each image displayed next to each other (side by side). Currently, Flash is rendering my images so they are stacking on each other (ontop of each other). I have even tried putting all of my <a> tag on one line, but it is not working.
ActionScript 2 Code from file:
contentData = new LoadVars()
contentData.onLoad = function() {
contentText.htmlText = this.myVariable
} contentData.load("html/news.txt")

In flex, I am using VBox & HBox to stack components. When I try to get x,y coordinate of a component, I always get 0. If I specify cooridnate like mx:VBox x="120", then I get the value.
How can I get the coordinate without explicitly stating it.

I created a list using xml, which when clicked would display the appropriate information. Everything is working fine, except when a second item on the list is clicked, the information appears on top of the previous information.

Basically I have a little app where a pop up palette contains dragable movie clips that then are placed on the main stage. However when the palette pops up for a second time it remains behind the placed movie clips. The clips have to be on top of the palette initially, but something like on release swapDepths?

I've been following the Changing Stacking Order (swapDepth) tutorial but there's something I'd like to know.In this tutorial, we have 3 buttons inside 3 Mc's. Each Mc is called green, yellow and blue.The AS code for each button is:
Code:
on (press, release, dragOver, dragOut) {
x = 0;
x = x+2;[code]....
What I would like to get is that the MC (window) that I click, goes to the top, BUT respecting the relative position for the others. I mean, in this tutorial, if you run the swf file and put every window a bit one over the other, and click the bottom window, it will come to the top, but the other two won't keep their relative position because the clicked window will be swapped with the one on the top. Understand? (it's very simple although difficult to explain).To make it easier: let's imagine we have 3 papers on the table and I pick up the one in the bottom and put it on top....this is exactly what I want (but in this tutorial, the other 2 papers are moved aswell). I just want that the window I click gets on top of the other 2, nothing else.
According to Kirupa's words, this EXAMPLE here is done using swapdepth aswell, and IT'S EXACTLY the behaviour that I want. Just compare this one with the one in the tutorial and see the different window behaviour.The thing is that I don't know how to do this with "swapdepths". In the AS reference bok it says it can be done but (as usual) they don't tell you how to do it...

I've been working with this file for quite some time now. I have several buttons in this file - for example, general information. From this button (actually mc, using hittest to function as a faux button), another menu springs out. This menu overlaps the button underneath it.
The problem I've been having is that, when the submenu pops out, the user is still able to activate the buttons beneath the submenu (it overlaps the other "main" buttons).
My solution was to "hide" the movieclips that are overlapped by the submenus, like this:

I have a series of mc's that I'm adding to the a display list of "theContainer".
I've set up my code so I can click any mc in that list and make it "selected". I can then, with controls outside "theContainer", change the selected clip's scale or alpha, etc.
I'd like to set up 2 buttons outside that display list so I can change the stacking order of those clips in "theContainer".
So if I add clip "a" to the display list, then add clip "b" to the display list then add "c" and "d" and "e and "f" to it, I want to be able to move any of those clips forward or backward.

I'm producing some animations that have movie clips introduced by a video player cue point handler.The video is on a given layer in the timeline scheme. When one uses addChild(); to introduce a movie clip, is there some way of specifying what layer it should appear on? Otherwise, is there a way of controlling the stacking order of the various components on the stage?

Is there a way to use actionscript to change the stacking order of objects?I run two functions when i start my game, one that adds the player and set it's properties and one that generates the map. The add player function is run last so the player will appear above the map, the problem is that i have some objects on my map that i would like to appear infront of the hero, like certain tree's for example.
Is there a way i can make these objects appear infront by using actionscript? Using different layers won't work as everything is generated dynamically.

I'm currently working on a game where every "Step" - defined by a global time modifier - everything on screen calculates where it's next position will be, then uses tweenlite to animate itself to that location. This program runs for about 10 seconds before it eats 100% of my CPU. iMac i5 quad core, so it's not the hardware.
The problem is specifically in the following snippet, and the peculiar thing is if I teleport everything to it's next position (i.e. don't tween it there) the CPU is stable at 6% (where flash IDE consumes 4%). Does anyone know why these tweens are just stacking and stacking and never garbage collecting? (This is what I assume the problem is, as I can't find another explanation as to why the problem only exists when i TWEEN to the next location)

I have an FLA with a section in it where I need to swap between images (one over the other and so on, which I have done using swap depth) what I want to know is if there is a way to make the transition from one pic to the other smoother by using alpha from 100% to zero, thus revealing the picture beneath.

Here is my Problem: I'm currently using a ColumnChart to display 6 label/value pairs. When two labels are the same, the chart stacks them up, one on top of the other. I want to display these duplicates side by side, their value might be the same or it might be distinct. My first thought was to append a unique id to the label, but that's not possible according to the client. So, is there a way to tell the chart to also take a hidden id into consideration? Someone suggested to do some sort of grouping, but I need to display each chart separate, as if they were distinct charts.
the chart's data provider is an array of these objects:
obj.description = "des";
obj.countV = 3;//some arbitrary number
obj.id = 2; //a unique id..

I know, there is a tutorial about changing stacking order [URL], but the makers were so kind to use Mx files for the .fla's.
[Code]...
When I click one of the 4 buttons, the image related to that button has to move to the hightest position. And ofcourse the previous highest one should be the one under the new highest image. Well, I tried to fix the script, but for some reason it gets all confused and starts switching images, and sometimes none.

I'm not a Flash developer, but I'm working on a Flash advertising issue where a Flash ad (movie/SWF file) is sometimes having portions of its animation panels or timeline (specifically some text copy) getting stuck and then they stack/layer/overlap on top of each other at the end of the final frame of animation.We were able to reproduce this only sporadically in IE7 but someone else reported the issue using IE8.A screenshot of the portions that are overlapping is pasted further below.The "Dr. Ted Lawrence" and "A pioneer in tumor radiation therapy." text copy portions are sometimes getting stuck and are sometimes overlapping onto the final frame of the animation.
URL to the Flash SWF movie file:
http://s0.2mdn.net/1608548/umhs11_specialty_cancertreatment_728x90.swf
(AS2, published as Flash 8)
I do not have the .FLA file.Would that be needed to troubleshoot this issue further?I know I'm probably not using the correct terms exactly, etc,

My Flash game targets 24 fps, but slows to 10 on slower machines. This is fine, except Flash decides to throttle the queue of incoming MouseEvent and KeyboardEvents, and they stack up and the Events fall behind. Way behind. It's so bad that, at 10 fps, if I spam the Mouse and Keyboard for a few seconds not much happens, then, after I stop, the game seems to play itself for the next 5 seconds as the Events trickle in. Spooky, I know.
Does anyone know a way around this? I basically need to say to Flash, "I know you think we're falling behind, but throttling the input events won't help. Give them to me as soon as you get them, please."
