Movie Clip Depth Always Highest?

May 2, 2010

I'm creating this shooter game. I attached a crosshair mc at the beginning with the depth set to getNextHighestDepth.However I keep adding the monsters mc dynamically when the game progresses, also with getNextHighestDepth. So the monster mc will keep overriding the depth of my crosshair's depth. how to get my crosshair mc's depth always to be on top of everything including the monster mc.I tried getNextHighestDepth()+1000 for my crosshair mc. But it was dumb because the monsters keep getting getNextHighestDepth as well. I assume that monster's depth would be 1001, 1002 and so on...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Assigning A Movie Clip A Depth?

Mar 16, 2009

I'm re-arranging how I have the movie set up (I used to have it in multiple .SWF's, but now I'm making it into one big movie), but I've ran into a snag. I don't know how to assign a movie clip a depth. The reason this is a problem is that if I were to attach a movieclip (Say Movie1), it would overlap another movieclip's (Movie2) drop shadow.Movie2 isn't assigned a depth because it's loaded along with the first movie, but Movie1 is assigned a depth when it's loaded on a click

Professional :: Priority On Stage And How To Deal With It?

Oct 2, 2010

Anybody else have that dilemma where you have movieclips on stage that should animate, but because they somehow end up switching index/priority(top to bottom on a single layer) on stage in some keyframes, they end up resetting themselves. This causes you to go back through all your movie clips just to check for this. Is there a reletively simple way to deal with this?

Also, assume that distributing everything to layers is not an option.

ActionScript 2.0 :: If I Use A Constant Depth, Every Alternate SwapDepths Puts This Movie Clip Behind The Border?

Apr 11, 2007

i need to create a border in my movie. i've used two buttons for two different types of borders and a NumericStepper to specify the thickness.i createEmptyMovieClip an mc and then i use moveTo and lineTo to draw the rectangular border inside it.now, every time the new thickness is specified, a new border should appear and replace the older one. so how do i do this??
i tried using a constant depth value which solved this problem.

i have a movieclip already on stage, placed manually by me.i dont want it to get overlapped by the border and so i used swapDepths for it. but if i use a constant depth, every alternate swapDepths puts this movie clip behind the border.so, first time the border's behind. now i change thickness and again apply border, the border is over my movieclip.how do i solve this so that the borders replace themselves and the mc on stage remains on top??

Professional :: Duplicating Movie Clip Or Inserting New Movie Clip With Effect

Jun 5, 2010

CS3 Flash - Complete newbie to Flash and I'm trying to change an existing flash piece.It consists of 4 different text statements that appear on a Black background - the first appears and stays on-screen for 10 secs, then it starts to blur and fade away in about a sec, and then the next statement appears, etc, etc., and the whole lot loops.The 4 statements appear as Video Clips (Symbols?) in the library.I need to add a new statement, which means there will be 5 statements. I duplicated one of the library items and renamed it, which seems to have worked fine... but I cannot then work out how I insert that video clip into the Timeline and still have the same visual effects and timing as the existing ones? I can insert a blank frame, but then I can only drop the new video clip text onto that one frame.I've tried copying and pasting a whole set of frames, and then go in and change the text. Which I thought had worked, but then discovered that it also changed the original frames.... now understand that's because they are just instances and any change will affect the master Video Clip!

So can anyone advise if I can insert my newly added and renamed video clip into the timeframe and create the same effect as the others?Please keep any advice as idiot-proof as possible as this is my first venture into Flash... not finding it as intuitive as I hoped, spent 6hrs to date just trying trial and error without any real success.

Professional :: Control The Movie Clip Mc_allPages From Within The Movie Clip Mc_buttonMenu?

Aug 20, 2010

I am making a web site in flash in which I have multiple movie clips.I have mc_buttonMenu on the main timeline.Inside of mc_buttonMenu, I have 3 buttons that are all button symbols.From the main timeline, I have a movie clip called mc_allPages.In this movie clip, I have a few layers.I have the content layer.This layer controls how my pages display.I have another layer called labels.I labeled frames 1 to 10 as 'home' and layers 11 to 20 as 'contactUs'.I have another layer in mc_allPages called actions.I put a stop(); on frame 10 and frame 20 on this layer.I want to be able to control the movie clip mc_allPages from within the movie clip mc_buttonMenu.I put some action script in various places, but it never worked.I tried this action script:
 
_root.btn_home.onPress()
{
Gotoandplay("home");[code]...........
 
I tried placing that code on the main timeline, inside mc_allPages, inside mc_buttonMenu and split up into both buttons appropriately for btn_home and btn_contactUs.Sometimes the animation would stop on frame 10 and sometimes it would just play through to frame 20 and ignore the stop(); I put on frame 10 inside the mc_allPages movie clip.However, whenever I pressed the button ( btn_contactUs ), it never went to the frame labeled "contactUs" in the allPages movie clip.

Professional :: Make Movie Clip Non-clickable Unless Another Movie Clip Is Visible

Mar 22, 2011

I'm making a room escape game and I've run into a problem. When an item gets added to the inventory, I'd like the user to be able to click on the item to affect another object (e.g. clicking screwdriver hides screws and displays other image) however when I add the code to the item, if the item is clicked and it's nowhere near the object it affects, the image pops up and it looks really stupid.

So what I'd like to be able to do, possibly using if and else statements or whatever's easiest, is to only have the inventory item be clickable if the movie clip of the object is affects is visible on the stage.

I am creating a Movie Clip player interface. You can click on a thumbnail and load an external SWF. At the end of that movie clip, I would like to load another SWF, it's just a logo animation filler that plays until the next thumbnail is clicked.

I am using this script:var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/movie00.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
 
But it loads the new movie right on top of the old one.How do I get it unload the first one?

Professional :: Reposition The Movie Clip Dynamically When The Movie Is Launched?

Jan 24, 2010

I have an ActionScript 2.0 project with a very simple timeline Alpha Tween ("Classic tween" in CS4) of a movie clip. I need to reposition the movie clip dynamically when the movie is launched, before the Tween is executed (as in "x_mc._x = 100;").

I found out that after changing the clip position the Alpha Tween as well as the Alpha final value are totally ingored. The clip is shown in the updated position but remains throughout in the Alpha setting of the first keyframe (even when it reaches the last keyframe which has a different Alpha setting). I verified that the Tween itself is executed by placing Trace statements at both keyframes. If I remove the repositioning statement, the Alpha Tween works fine (but of course in the original position which is wrong)

Jan 18, 2010

I have a movie "keyB" which contains many other movies "d", "e", "f"..."keyB" has a mouse event listener so when I click on "keyB" it tells me which movie inside of "keyB" I have just clicked on - d, e or f.d, e and f are the same movie from the library but with different names and are all on the same frame in the timeline.d, e and f are overlapping and I want whichever one was clicked on to come to the front.Here's what I've tried without any success:

ActionScript Code:
keyB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tellKey);
function tellKey(event:Event):void

Flash :: AS3 MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE Event Stops Responding After MouseEvent.CLICK Call?

Nov 6, 2010

I have several stage event handlers to enable mouseovers over several dynamically generated moviecilps on the stage that then change their alpha to indicate the mouse is over that particular mc... fairly trivial (mcOver handler). Additionally, I also want to know what MC is clicked, so I update a public variable (public var activemc:Number) with the ID of the dynamic movieclip when the mouse is over it (using a hitTest to check, which is why the EventListener is added to stage and not to the MC), which is checked in the mcClicked handler:This is in the constructor:

//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);[code]....

However, the mouseover behaviour (alpha 0 when over, alpha 1 when out) stops working as soon as I click on any movieclip on the stage, and the mcClicked ID checking (below) stops working completely. I don't know if this is to do with focus:

private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
}

I then tried adding the event handler for the stage mouse_move again and this gets the mouseover working again but only for 1 more click, after which it stops again:

private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);
