I have a group of pictures which are going to be overlapping. I want the user to be able to view the whole picture (bring it to the front) when they roll the cursor over that picture. I'm sure this is very easy to do but I'm not so experienced with flash coding yet.
View 18 Replieshow to bring a button to the front when it is rolled over. I have a scene with six buttons. When each button is rolled over the roll over state contains a movie that runs and animation that 'grows' the button to reveal other information. The problem I have is the 'depth' each of these buttons are on. The top button works fine and goes over the other buttons, but the bottom level button expands below all the other buttons. If you look at the attached screen grabs you will see what I mean. What is the actionscript 3.0 I need to use and where and how do I apply it?
View 9 Replieshow to get the cursor to change when rolled over an object. btw i have more than one object to apply this to.
View 8 RepliesSimple problem.On layer1 we have a button.On layer2 we have a symbol_MC (which is a movie clip with animation embedded inside) overlapping the button.
Result.The button cannot be rolled-over or clicked due to symbol_MC overlapping it.
Solution.Obviously I need to make the symbol_MC on layer2 which is overlapping the button undetectable to the cursor,so that when the cursor rolled over symbol_MC, it detects the button instead.I don't have any code to make symbol_MC undetectable to the cursor!
I can not fined in the docs the best way to Bring an object to the top when the mouse is over the target.
View 3 RepliesSo, I have a line of buttons that pop up when moused over. Unfortunately, due to their proximity to one another, I have a lot of overlap occurring. Is there a way to bring the activated button in front of the others via as?
View 8 RepliesAnother simple question here. I have 2 objects next to each other. On mouseover I have them enlarge. I would like to make it so that whatever object is being enlarged is brought to the front. Here is my code.

How can I make the obj change to front of another when the mouse roll over, and come back when out? I look for "setChildIndex with tween" but I don't found...
View 12 Repliesi have the below code, which is basically animating object across the screen, when roll-over happens it pauses the anim, and displays some information. Everything works fine, but when its paused, i wold like that current object to be 'on top' so other items run behind. I have looked at setChildIndex, but didn't have much luck.

I have a menu set up that has about 20 menu items in a circle. When you mouse over each item, a title comes up. The only problem is that because of the depth order, it's hidden behind the other menu items.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create an image class that I can reuse throughout a website I'm making.
When you click an image i want it to expand to fill the screen. When this happens obviously it will have to be at the top of the display list so that none of the other objects on the website are above it. The problem is that I want to be able to use this class throughout the website, even within containers that are beneath other objects so it seems impossible to simply bring it to the front easily?
Edit: Maybe when you click an image it would create a replica on top of the current image but above all the other objects on the main stage - then expand that one instead of the original image in the container? Theres got to be a better method though... I can't imagine this working too smoothly.

How can I implement this? I tried to use: (this.numChildren - 1)But it doesn't work. I want to use this code because I have 8 boxes, each are 100px X 100px. You hover each box and they flip over but the "backside" of these cards are larger in both length and width than the front. When they flip over they overlap the neighbouring card. I'm looking for some sort of script so that I can tell each card to align itself above the other cards on the stage.

I am creating artwork in Illustrator that I want to give someone else to bring into Flash.
1. What is the best format for making static graphics? Just a graphic symbol?
2. What about for graphics that will be converted into buttons in Flash? Does it matter if they are Graphics or Movie Clips in Illustrator?
I currently have objects populating the screen randomly and bouncing around the stage. The problem is, some of the objects are getting stuck and bouncing back and forth rapidly between two points. How can I prevent this?
Here's how I have the EnterFrame setup:
var ballT = e.target
ballT.x += ballT.vx;
ballT.y += ballT.vy;
if (ballT.x + ballT.width / 2 >= sWidth || ballT.x - ballT.width / 2 <= 0) {
ballT.vx = - ballT.vx;
} else if (ballT.y + ballT.height / 2 >= sHeight || ballT.y - ballT.height / 2 <= 0) {
ballT.vy = - ballT.vy;
}

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a small movie. Now I want to create an effect that once the mouse is in the right half of the movie - then movie should play forward. When the cursor moves to the left half of the movie then movie should play backwards. I have tried following some examples from online but I am kinda lost
This is what I have done so far:
- Create the animation named it "mc" of type Movie Clip
- Put it in the "main scene"
- The (first) keyframe at "main scene" has action "stop();"
- <<now i am lost >>
Note: Eventually the right and left part of the movie will link to different webpage.

Above is the webstie in question. When you hit the Benefit button for example it takes you to a url /benefits.html/.
When I originally created the flash project I accidentally wrote in the url with the finishing slash. Now that I have gone back and removed the slash from my project, saved and uploaded .swf to my web, the project still redirects to benefits.html/
I have simple flash CS4 file (AS3) with a video playback component in a movie clip called "video". The only other thing in this flash movie is a script to load another SWF file as soon as the video is done playing....If I use stop() on the frame with the video - it will play - but then the playhead will not move forward to the next frame which has the next script and if I leave the stop() off - it plays only a a few frames of the video and moves on to the next frame and executes the script that loads the swf file.
Everything I've read requires a button event - and I don't need a button. I just need the video to play - then the next script to execute.Here are the only scripts in the flash movie:
***************************** // in the frame containing video component
stop()
*********************************** // in the next frame after video component.
stop();

I am new to using Flash, but with some helpful YouTube tutorials and various Google searches, I was able to create a slide show that automatically transitions to the next after 6 seconds. I also thought it would be neat if I could give users the ability to go back or forward or jump specifically to a certain slide. But my problem is that after I click a button, the timer seems to be off.

Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
play();

Im looking for a way for flash to remember what buttons the user has rolled over. Then being able to tell flash to play back the button sequence in the order they were rolled over.I have managed to adapt someone else mouse movement recorder but that is all it does is record the coordinates of the mouse and not that it actually rolled over certain buttons.

Basically I have a group of overlapping movieclips acting as buttons. I need to bring the clip that is being rolled over to the front. These clips are nested in a movieclip which is being loaded via attachMovie into a holder clip on the main timeline. I've created a simple file which uses this code on the clips timeline and it works for two buttons:
clip1.onRollOver = function(){
clip1.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth());
} clip2.onRollOver = function(){
clip2.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth());
}
However when I drop the same code into my file which has many more buttons it does not work. I've set up a trace to display depths with very strange results. Here is the code for one of the clips.
stop();
depth=MC_one.getDepth();
trace(depth);
createEmptyMovieClip("MC_top",9999);
MC_one.onRollOver = function(){
this.swapDepths(MC_top);
depth2=MC_one.getDepth();
trace(depth2);
}
The first trace produces a depth of -16358. The second produces no trace on RollOver. If I change it to onPress it produces a trace of 9999 for when pressed.
