Professional :: Interactive Map / Managing Layers When Popup Is Not On Top Layer
Jul 26, 2010
I am creating a touchcreen (LCD) for a property development.We I am having a problem is on the interactive map.Picture a map with icons all over it.When you touch the icon a image of that area of the map pops up.you then click on a X on the top right to go back to the map.I have probably dont this incorrect and those only because I dont have much knowledge.I have create the map on the lowest layer.The icons (same graphic - eye) are on there own layers.I converted the icon to a BUTTON and added the pop up on the DOWN.The problem I have is when you touch the icon on a layer other than the top layer the top layer icon shows on the screen (ontop of the popup).

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 know how can I mask an image on one layer which should enogh for other movie clips. Like the following ...
1) First layer ........................ Actionscript
2) Mask layer ....................... Rounded rectange with some design
2) Image layer ...................... Best image (as a background for all other movie clips)
3) Movie Clips layer .............. 10 Movie clips (which are like slides and will be act like one webpage each)
What I want is the mask layer (Layer 2) should be enogh for all the movie clips in layer 3. No need to mask in each movie. I tried in the same sequence but it did not work for me.

I'm new to Flash, but I understadn the basics. Unfortuently, I may have gotten in over my head with this project. I have four years if crime data for my school. I want to make an interactive graph where a user can click a crime, (check box) and that crime's change over four years will appear. (by change I mean how many crimes of that type occurred in the last four years.) I don't know how to do this, mainly because I'm not for sure how to layer the lines on the graph.

i want to collapse a complex scene with all different layers and different transparency into a single layer (or as few as possible) to optimize the flash file for online (were experince proformance issues). I have tried the combine and manually copying pasting into one layer but it cuts the fill below and replace with transparent fill. I want to have a end file that is 100% solid.

I am trying to achieve something like this: [URL]
I have successfully gone through and executed the Interactive Image Pan tutorial you have on here. However I am looking to add more of a sense of depth, so would like some images in the "foreground" to scroll by faster (than the background) as the cursor is moved.
To accomplish this I have made the foreground image cover a much bigger width than the background, as it makes sense to me that this would make it scroll faster, using the same code as the background.
So my question is what code do I need to add to the original code to make the foreground image scroll too? It's a MC called fg_mc. Here's the original code for quick reference:
Code:
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
};

I am trying to create a website that has a DIV layer above my flash movie.
I can visually do this, by changing the z-index of the flash div layer so it is below the banner but when I do this, I cannot interact with my flash movie.
To my knowledge, this is a problem in Firefox, it is fine in Internet Explorer.

I am working on a simple art scroller that will scroll images across the screen. It is very simple but my problem is that when I try to use NavigateToURL certain layer/instances will not work unless they are placed on top of the other layers (except AS layer). Other layers seem to work perfectly fine under the other layers. All in all I have approx. 15 layers all with one piece of art, instances at all keyframes and a actionscript layer on top.

I can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.

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?

If you create a popup via:[code]It will create a popup and bring it on top of any other visual piece. I have one problem though. This 'popup' needs to stay up even when the user interacts with the background.I would use modal, but I need the ability to interact with the back. Any way to tell the popup manager not to remove the popup when the user clicks off of it?

I'm making an interactive book and I would like to make my "Text"-layer invisible when I start the "Turn Page"-animation. It's either that, or I'm gonna have to put a code for EVERY 23 MoveClips with the Texts in them, since I'm using the same "Turn Page"-button.

I have been tasked to create banner that has four mouseover areas. The main body of the banner--which includes hyperlinks--and the background of the entire banner must change as the user mouses over the four areas. See the diagrams at the following link (it is not working properly):I attempted to complete this task as follows, but it really isn't behaving properly. I created a layer of buttons and text, and set the alpha levels to 0 for the "over" state of each button. I then created four separate layers containing the appropriate content. When the user mouses over a button on the left, the proper layer would be displayed. I planned to use Actionscript to accomplish this; pseudocode here:
IF button1.mouseover == true THEN { display layer1, hide layers 2, 3, and 4 }
IF button2.mouseover == true THEN { display layer2, hide layers 1, 3, and 4 }
IF button3.mouseover == true THEN { display layer3, hide layers 1, 2, and 4 }

I'm trying to create a type of news flash file with four panels, each with a different coloured background and diferent text (from xml file). Each panel will show for say 4 seconds. My flash file has four layers, each with a different coloured background, and following each other on timeline to create one movie. The actionscript is stopping at the end of the 1st layer on the timeline, so only the first panel is showing text from the xml file, but not the other three.

How does one select layers then bring them into a new MovieClip with their artwork and functionality etc intact.
I have a load of layers which together form a map with animations that run on it. A static key with a few buttons runs the animations on the map. I need to pan/zoom this map and as such need to package all these layers that form the map up into something that can be referred to in the coding for the pan and zoom functions.
I created a new layer in my timeline, called it MapPanZoom, then went Insert>new>movieClip.
I now need to remove the maps layers from the timeline and into the timeline for the movieClip I just created. How is this done ?
Leaves behind the static key that sits outside of the map, when a button in the key is clicked, I hope to see it run the animation on the map, and have a user able to zoom and pan the map whilst it runs.
I tried selecting the layers then edit>copy, then opening MapPanZoom movieClip from Library and edit>paste, nothing happened. Planned to delete the layers if it had worked out of the original scene1.

The animator said that he has created two symbols: one for the body, and another symbol inside the body symbol for the head.What I don't understand is how he translated the layers over into the head symbol. When I click on the head symbol, all of the layers disappear and I cannot edit an object individually within a layer.

I am by no means a Flash power-user but I am accustomed to labeling layers instead of leaving the default "Layer 1, Layer 2, etc."Now that I have Flash Pro CS4 I am unable to do that with any effectiveness. When I double-click on the default layer name, that field should become editable. The problem is that it's only editable for a split second. Unless I type a character as soon as I lift my finger from the second of the double-click - I dont get to edit that field.

all the layers are displayed as outlines.I can assure you that outline mode is NOT switced on "globally" or for each layer.I have tried toggling the icons on and off to see if that would reset it, but it did not.Every new document is doing this, even after relaunching the program and rebooting the OS, Preview and Published display correctly, it is only in the the working environment that things aren't right.None of the other workstations are doing this, just this one.I did an update, but the issue persisted.
The weirdest part about it is, when I gave him a file created on my laptop to see what would happen, everything was displayed normally,New layers added to this document also displayed normally. We have iMac workstatios running Snow Leopard if that makes a difference.This is Flash CS5 by the way.Other than doing a re-install,

I have a flash file with a solid colour layer over a part of my visual that I have sent to 60% opacity using the alpha colour effect. All looks great in flash, but when I publish the file as a swf - the colour block is solid. I'm assuming I'm using the wrong export options, but don't really know the difference between them all. I'm publishing under flash lite 4 as I was told I needed to use this to make my movie compatible over mobile devices as well and normal web browers.

I am having problems getting animations to occur at all levels/layers. So I have the main timeline level and when I drill into that layer, I have a character made up of several graphic symbols - shapes such as arms, legs, torso, etc. When I create keyframes and then try to reposition symbols to create animation, the movement is not appearing at all levels. for instance, if the arm is by the side in frame one, then I go to frame five and drill down into the symbol and reposition, the timeline will show the change from frame 1 to frame five at that level/layer, but not on the main timeline for the entire character.

Is there a setting that will allow me to see layers in outlines even though the alpha of the movieclip is set to 0%? I swear I used to be able to see an outline of my clips even though the alpha is all the way down... now if my clip is alpha down there's no outline when i 'view as outlines' in the timeline. maybe i accidently changed a setting some where?

I have an externally loaded SWF, which contains 30+ layers, each with a rather large area of transparency. In my application, I dynamically turn on and off these layers, as I needI've run into an issue where if I have all 30+ layers visible, the transparency "cuts through" the background of my application, and shows the stage's default colour.
