Loading One .swf Into Another On Top Layer

Oct 10, 2009

I am loading a drop down menu file into another animation. It's working except the menus should drop over the animation below. As the images change in the lower animation they cover up any drop down menu that is displayed.
 
The command I am using to load the menus is as follows:

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ncjhs_Menus.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
 
I need to load the menus - with all its layers - into the uppermost layer. Is there a simple way to set the target layer when loading a movie? I'm assuming you need to specify a target container/object in the target ... ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Image At Bottom Most Layer

Jun 22, 2009

I'm loading an image in a UILoader Component (created during runtime).
var lb:UILoader = new UILoader();
addChild(lb);
Now when I load any image into this then it loads on top of everything.I know this is because it goes over the top of stack. But is there any solution by which i can move it downwards or even at the bottommost layer. I've tried setChildIndex(lb, 0) though but it didn't work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Putting An Action Layer Over A Layer With A ClickTag Element

Nov 19, 2009

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?

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)

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?

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.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Setting "Z" Or Layer Position When Loading External Swf?

Oct 31, 2008

I've been using the loader class to import external swf files when I need them. I can position them on the screen where I need them using the:

loader_var.x
and
loader_var.y properties

However something that seems to stump me is how to position the loaded content below other content in the movie. I tried making the layer where I was actually calling my external file below the other layers and yet when I export the Flash movie the clip that I'm importing at run time always ends up on top of every thing. Is there a way to specify which objects imported media comes in above or below?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Add Layers / Re-order Layers / Move Movieclips From Layer To Layer

Oct 22, 2008

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.

First Layer Disappears When I Add A New

I am trying to build a fireplace in flash where the mantles, surround type and face plates are changable when a value from a drop down menu is selected.I put each of the objects(mantles, surround types and face plates) in a seperate layer and am making them visible/invisible by controlling the alpha property of each of the objects. It worked fine till i had about 30 layers/images on the flash file, but as i try to add new layers/ images the new layer sort of covers the first layer making it invisible.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Layer Always On Top

Apr 11, 2011

I am _very_ new to flash, and im making a simple flash sidescroller game to get things running, and I've run into a problem. So lets get straight to the point: I have a layer that i want to always be the top layer, because it is a "foggy" effect on the foreground.
But the problem is, that my enemy-characters spawn on top of it, and it looks odd when my main character is under the fog but the enemies (or ammunition) arent. So is there any way to force a layer to be always on the top?

Flash8 : Collide With Only One Layer?

Dec 2, 2009

I'm using Flash 8, and I'm hoping to work on a platforming game. I'm pretty familiar with programming in general, but Flash is a little confusing for me.What I have at the moment kind of works for generic collisions, but my problem is that it works too well. My player symbol collides with absolutely everything, on every layer, even including text.

Right now my file only has two movie clips, Player, and Bounds, and there's an instance of Player named player_1, and an instance of Bounds named Wall.

For collision checking, I used the following if ( _root.Wall._parent.hitTest( ... ) ) { /*do stuff*/ } and this works well enough, I collide with anything, given that I check in the right place. I'm happy with the way that this works, but is there any way I can confine the collisions to the layer the symbol is currently on? I'd like to design the levels, and just draw the foreground graphics on the layer above, and the background graphics on the layer below.

Using trace, _root.Wall._parent returns level0, which I'm going to guess is maybe the scene? I'm assuming collisions aren't really meant to be handled this way, so if I have to totally redo them, I'll understand, but it would be most convenient for me if I can confine the collisions to only a single layer.
