Swap Depths: Not Working With Animation
Jul 31, 2009
*I can't post the file due to the company policy, so I'll do my best to explain. 3 movie clips: slide 1, 2, and 3. Each loads an external image.
Layers (how I have them set up):
slide 1
slide 2
slide 3
The slides have a 3d feel, as if they are in the distance. When the user clicks one, the slide(mc) motion-tweens towards the screen, while the other 2 stay back. Obviously, if slide 2 comes towards the screen then slide 1 will be over top of it DUE TO layer structure (above). And of course, 1 & 2 will be over slide 3. To get around this I made a "current" layer over top of all the slide layers. So if I click on slide 2/3 then the tween is up on the "current" layer instead of the "slide 2/3" layer so that it's the highest.

ts an interactive gallery where when a photo is selected it plays the movie clip and the photo grows to fill the screne. The problem is, since the animations take part within the movie clips and all the movie clips exist on the same layer when they are selected and grow to fill the screne they are being hidden behind all the movieclips infront of it in that layer I know that there is an action to bring movieclips to the highestdepth or to front on click/release but i do not have a clue where to start

Its been a while since I've done anything in AS3. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I am working on a type of menu where there are 6 cards and on roll over of one of the cards it is brought to the front of the stack. What is the correct method of doing this in AS3? Can someone post a quick example or point me in the right direction to a link that does a good job covering this. I did a quick search and didn't find anything right away that did a good job explaining so I thought I would head over to AS.org

i have this section of code:
[AS]
var s:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("1a", 1);
[/AS]
because of the "1" at the end its ontop of all my content is there a way to have it sit right at the bottom depth underneath everything??

I've realized that I am unable to swap depths between _root. and nested mc's based on its _y axis.For example, I use this code:
Code:
_root.player.onEnterFrame =function() {
this.swapDepths(this._y-230)

I have a timeline animation various movie clips with play bk and forward controllers for when it is pressed it display (grows, rotates etc), is there anyway of having it so on each layer there is a swap depth command to make whichever button is pressed make the mc's appear at the top?

I have this script I am writing where when someone hovers over a button it displays a popup box until they roll off. I have that function working alright, but I need the movie clips to swap depths, I realize I can do this with setChildIndex but I'm running into a small problem with my children/parent situation.
My items are added as such:
root > color_mc (blue or red or whatever) > button (this is the hover)
I have the event listener added to the button for each color, but I need it so that when the button is rolled over, it takes the color_mc and moves it to the -1 spot. I've tried writing the code a number of ways but can't seem to get it.
Code:
function manageMouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
var parentClip = event.target.parent.name;
parentClip.setChildIndex(parentClip, parentClip.numChildren - 1);
event.target.parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
That code gives me the following error:
Error #1069: Property numChildren not found on String and there is no default value.

This should be interesting in explaining what it is i'm looking for. I have multiple buttons on top of each other. And when the hit state on the other side of the screen is rolled over the text will change, which are all overlapping each other. Would swap depths be the best answer for this to bring the one I'm rolling over to the top? And how would I implement it into my for Loop? I'm using the for Loop for my navigation:

I'm trying to find a way to integrate swap depths with map scrolling. Here is my current code:
SWF:
[URL]
Code:
var mapItem:Array = new Array(_root.tree1, _root.building1, _root.keith,_root.shinru);
mapControl = function () {
_root.player.swapDepths(_root.player._y);
[code]....
The problem lies within the fact that the bounds are pushing away the player too fast for Flash to finish cycling through the array of items.

I have a class definition as file. In it a variable gets passed to into a function (parameters). Then I want to use the name of this function to swapDepths with another movieclip.
Code:
private function alphaZero(clipToSwap) {
trace(clipToSwap+"+clipToSwap");

I am making a photo gallery with thumbnails and when the mouse rolls over them, they increase in size. Problem: when they increase, they do not cover the other thumbnails completely, since it is only an _xscale percentage increase and not a new movie clip. So you can see all the other thumbnails over the increased photo size. It is a problem of swapping depths I'm sure--but do I have to take off all the thumbnails from the main level and load them dynamically onto different levels in order to be able to swap depths?

I have two main clips with clickable clicks within each. I am using swapDepths on the two main clips in a tab navagation fashion. The problem is that if I click on the space between the nested clips in the top clip it actually is hitting the buttons(movieclips) on the other clip under it. Any suggestions?

I am trying to swap out one image for another in a Flash animation. On a mouse over, the want the new image (appb_mc) to appear OVER the existing image (appa_mc).I used the following code, but the new image keeps flashing. I am assuming it is because the new image is appearing OVER the existing image. If I have the new image appear other than over the existing image, it works fine. What can I do to make it work properly? These images need to be within the Flash file and not in an array.Actionscript I am using:
appb_mc.visible = false;
function showGraphic1(event:MouseEvent):void

I have a VERY big animation, with a huge amount of keyframes, and I like to swap a symbol in this animation with another one. If I just use the swap button on the first frame, Flash only swaps the symbol for the first tween, whereas I have hundreds of tweens in my file... So how do I do this for every keyframe in every tween ?

This is to be exported into a movie, so not an Actionscript question. I'm making a parody of a fighter-game scenario. One character looks like Subzero and the other like Scorpion. They're the same models but one should be colored differently. They're comprised of symbols such as arms and legs to make a larger overall character animation. There are several animations of them, for kicks, punches, bobbing, etc. Now, I know that if I went in and edited the colors, that all instances would change accordingly. Duplicating the symbol doesn't work because they share the same inner symbols. Is there a method for "deep" duplication? A tint doesn't work because essentially I only want to change the color of some of the components.

I've finally decided to dive into AS 3.0, coming from a design background, It's been a struggle. I'm using the book "Learning AS 3.0 - A Beginners's Guide" and got stuck on Chapter 4 - Depth Management.
I have dynamically layout layout 5 boxes that overlap each other, after that, Im able to target each box with my Event Listener (evt.target.alpha -= 0.2), but I'm not able to swap their depths (this.setChildIndex(evt.target, this.numChildren-1)
Code:
// Layout Boxes - Dynamically
for(var i:Number=0; i < 5; i++){
var box:MovieClip = new Box();

I have made an animation, when i veiwed it as a preveiw in flash CS4 it works fine.So I published it as both a HTML fie and SWF.The HTML file runs perfectly fine, but the SWF file is missing almost all of the illustrations and the play button at the begining, the sounds all work fine however.. I have no Idea what to do or what I have done wrong and it is driving me crazy as I wanted to post it on the net so my friends can see it....

The site is up at [URL]
It is a horizontal layout and when you click on certain buttons it side scrolls to that specific area. The buttons don't execute the actionscript that I need them to not to mention that some images are missing.
Also, are there any bulk packaging publisher settings like InDesign has? I think there may be a problem in the location of some files and I think Flash may not be locating them properly.

I have a flash file that I created that basically runs an animation, stops, than has 5 buttons that call upon other swf files to popup and show dynamic text from a txt file. I have the animation running perfectly and everything works but when I try and implement it into a website template the buttons do not call to the other swf files. It runs the initial animation from main.swf, but when any of the buttons are clicked nothing happens.I made sure that all files were uploaded, even the txt files. The bottom of the browser reads "Transferring data from website..." So it sounds like its trying to read the actionscript but its taking too long to process.
MAIN.SWF
Code:
stop();
var popUpLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].......

I'm building a website and decided I was going to work with a pre-built web template. Problem is, as I painfully found out, my host wants the file structure of the site a very certain way (html pages in the root directory, media-files folder, image-files folder, support-files folder following that). I had to go through the template and recode a good bit of it myself (only knowing HTML, while the site is written in HTML, CSS, Java, and Flash). I've gotten the vast majority of the site working now.. on my computer at least.
I went through the flash file and corrected the directories so it could find the background pictures it needs and saved the file. Now, when I hit CTRL+Enter in CS4, the preview comes up correction and works flawlessly. However, when I bring the file up in firefox, the flash animation is STILL missing the background images. Also, I need to move a related file to the flash animation into another folder, but when I do that the text disappears, even after correcting the directory in flash.
The template I'm working with can be found here : Click. The flash animation in question is on the mid-left side of that page, where you can click the arrow to proceed through 4 different slides. Also having problems with the logo of the site, where the text will disappear if I move the related file I was talking about (A text file).
Here are pictures of the problem:
No background: Click
No Background/No text (moved text file, corrected directory): Click
What I see in Flash CS4: Click
I've also tested the site in Internet Explorer, same problem. I'm guessing there's probably a simple fix for this, but being unfamiliar with flash I just don't know it...

I am a Noob to ActionScripting and am having problems getting some movieclips to link to different URLs on release. I am able to get them to animate, and I am able to get them to link to an html page in the same folder, but I can�t get both functionalities to work at the same time and it is driving me crazy!! I've tried putting the actionscript in the instance object, in the action layer, and other things and nothing seems to work!?I believe that the actionscripting needs to be done in the "baners" movieclip, but it could also be the "Symbol 3" movieclip
Here is also a link to the . See, if you mouse over the first two clips, they animate, but they do not go to the HTML page if you click on them. The third clip will go to the page success1.html in the same folder if you click on it, but it does not animate on mouse over.I'm using Flash CS3 as my editor and I'm using ActionScript 2.0 for the scripting
