Actionscript 2 - Generated Flash Effect Appearing Over-top Of Top Layers Objects?
May 27, 2011
I have create the "snow" effect with the linked tutorial, basically it manipulates the instance of an object on the canvas and calls the script in the actions on the animation load.However, I cant get the generated snow to show behind any other objects on the canvas.

You can see from the image the RedBox and the Border layers are above the SnowFlakes layer, I want them in front. How can I do that?

We have a Flash game which need to be loaded and played from an AIR app. using the swf loader, the game swf is loaded into the AIR app. But the static background layers of the swf are not appearing in the loaded game.
Those graphical elements which are generated via action script only are appearing. When we are playing it independently (outside the AIR app), it works fine. Is there a setting that i am missing in Flash or Flex. we are working with Flex 4.

I'm new to the whole flash thing and I'm learning on flash 8 - In photoshop you can group layers so that the blending mode you use on a layer will only apply to the layers in that group... I've been searching all over, and maybe it's right in front of me, but does flash have a way of isolating the selected blending mode to just the layers or objects of the user's choice?

When I copy layers and edit the objects on stage, the objects also change in the other layer(s).
How do I duplicate a layer so that I can modify it with the objects in the old layer being unaffected? There must be a really easy way?

Almost finished constructing a web site (my first) now suddenly, in all the files, none of the objects are appearing on the stage only their registration points(the white circles right?). If I isolate the object it appears.

I've been working on building a game and encountered a strange problem this morning when instead of adding objects directly to the stage I needed to add them to a Sprite (I also tried this with a MovieClip) which was on the stage instead and they did not appear. And yes, before anyone says it, the MC/Sprite that I'm adding the objects to has definitely been added to the stage, I've made that mistake before and don't plan on making it again
Essentially I have been building the game's levels using various different objects (rectangles, circles etc) built in the Box2D physics engine and with attached sprites to represent them to the user. When creating each of these object I supply a DisplayObjectContainer in which the sprite representing the object should be placed. Up until now I have been simply been supplying my core game class as the DisplayObjectContainer, with no problems whatsoever - everything is displaying fine.
A new level design, however, will require me to apply a mask to the entire level (but not the GUI) so I decided to place all the level objects within a MovieClip or Sprite instead. I have created the new sprite as such:
levelObjects = new Sprite();levelObjects.x = levelObjects.y = 0; //Just to make surelevelObjects.width = GameProperties.stageWidth;levelObjects.height = GameProperties.stageHeight;levelObjects.visible = true; //Just to make sureaddChild(levelObjects)
And have been supplying this sprite to the level objects as a DisplayObjectContainer instead of the core game class. Everything is getting added to the stage as I can click on things and the sounds associated with the game objects are playing correctly, but nothing is actually visible! As I mentioned above I tried this using a MovieClip instead but got the same result.

I have not got to Action Script 3 yet, but I intend to. I am trying to animate two objects (they are single digits) on different layers. They are the only things on their respective layer. The first object animates just fine. When I add the second object (to its own layer), I can view it as long as the cursor remains in text mode, but just as soon as I try to convert to a symbol, it disappears from the screen(just like it is invisible). There is no way to motion tween it. But when test out the movie clip, I get the first object moving as it should, but the second one just sits there(as text) where I created it.
And ... I get the following error message.
Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@30a8c101 to flash.display.MovieClip. at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren() at flash.display::Sprite() at flash.display::MovieClip() at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline()
What should I do? I need two objects to move simultaneously and independently. Both objects are dynamic digits.

im having trouble figuring out the difference between the layers on the time line and the dept of object that can be manipulated by actionscript.in a single layer there can be many objects but in actionscript at specific dept you can manipulate just one object using function such as setchildindex() .so in a movie clip where there are several objects in a single layer how can you access and change their depth as in bring them to front or put them to the bottom

I have several objects, moveclip, graphics and shapes in several layers keys and want to change position, for example, a moveclip is in the position X: 218 Y:45 and so in other key layers,To change it to X: 240 Y: 50, I go to keyframe for keyframe touch the object and go to properties and change one by one is annoying.Is there any way to do this more quickly at one time in all key frames?

i have a triangle that i generate using the following code:
Code: Select allinternal function generateTriangle(w, h, topPoint, color = "0xFF9900") {
var triangle:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
with (triangle.graphics) {
[Code]....
I use this function and a foreach loop to generate 9 differently colored and sized triangles, which works fine when i place them on the canvas. But if i try to rotate them they rotate around the 0,0 point - i want them to rotate around the center of the individual triangles, how do i do that?
1. How do i move a dynamically generated triangle inside a movieclip? Solved using [URL]
2. How do i access each of the triangles inside the movieclip, or even better, place them in 9 different movieclips using addChild so that i can move them around individually?

I don't understand how it's possible to have a lot of objects on the stage and be able to manage the motion tweens with all of them, but ALSO manage which objects are in front and which are in back of each other. I have a military type animation and there is a lot of action going on, and there are times where I need some of my guys to be in front of objects, and times when they need to be behind.
I don't know how to manage the objects in regards to layers and motions in a way so I can get the objects in the order I need them to be (like which item goes in front of the other).
Does anyone have any tips or a way that I can manage my objects and motions and be able to sort them on the stage so that I can arrange the objects how I need them to be in regards to placement and which should be in front of other objects?

if there is an option to refer to a layer as a named object. so if I have a layer named 'myLayer' I can to control about the alpha amount, for instance, of all the objects (symbols, movieclips etc.) that inside this layer or to move all those objects together as a one unit by some pixels.

I am trying to copy frames from 6 different layers along with the objects (action script, tween motions, buttons, graphic elements) from one movieclip to another. But once I do that, everyhting seems to be shifted and if I try to reposition the items in the new clip, it seems like I would have to repeat after every keyframe for each layer.
So my question is A. Is there a way to duplicate a movie clip but give it a instance name (an entirely new movieclip with the same frames and layers in the same position as the previous)?
B. How can I move mutliple objects across layers and keyframes?

I'm developing a webapp with Java backend and Flash (pure ActionScript) frontend using BlazeDS. I'm using the RemoteObject stuff to send objects, using custom serialization, where I need to implement Externalizable (Java) and IExternalizable (AS) interfaces. This works fine so far.
But now I need to send objects from Java to Flash, whose classes are generated with JAXB/XJC. Of course these generated Java classes don't implement the Externalizable interface, so it seems that I can't use my approach here. One possibility seems to be writing a XJC plugin which makes the classes implement Externalizable. But this looks like a tough job...

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 created a simple flash music player to put on a website. It is viewable in Safari, FireFox and Chrome on my Mac. Unfortunately, when I try viewing it in two browsers on a PC (Chrome and FireFox), it doesn't appear at all. The PC computer does have the most updated version of flash as well. Also, when I try to view the html document created from Flash on the PC computer, my flash player does not show up either.

So I'm working on a very simple animation with some large text areas and have noticed something rather irritating. I'm hoping that someone can tell me why this is happening, and also hopefully a way around it.
When I view the .swf, I'm noticing that text that fits perfectly in the text areas in the .fla is being pushed down passed the edge of the text area. So when the movie exports, something weird happens and the text gets cut off at the bottom. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem, and does anyone know of a way to fix it?

I have two movie clips called mc_England and mc_Scotland they are on separate layers but placed on the stage in the same position.
When I click the close button on one of the clips I can't tell which close button I'm clicking.
If I move the two movie clips onto different parts of the stage the code below works correctly.
As the Close button being in the same position was causing the problem.
I decided to set the position of each Movie clip to come on and off stage.
This works apart from the FinishTween not completing before re positioning the movie clip.
Is there a way to set the position after a tween has completed?
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

My assignment is to create a real time (meaning using a game loop) Flash game in an object orientated manner. I've been following guides online, and I think I've got the basics down, but my player sprite isn't appearing.
I imported an image into Flash and then converted it into a symbol called Player, and now it's a movie clip. I exported it for ActionScript, and called the class com.Player.
Also, I have set the class of my document to com.Engine (this is where I plan to have my game loop and call methods to other classes).
Then, I created a directory called com in the same directory as my .fla. Inside that directory, I made Engine.as and Player.as, and here's the code for them both:
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
[Code].....
According to what I know, that should make the player appear in the center of the screen when I run it, but it doesn't. I've verified that the Engine class and constructor is being called using trace("hello world"), and I get that output. I also know that the constructor for the Player class is being called by using the same method. I just don't get why the player doesn't appear on screen.
If I drag the Player symbol (correct terminology?) from my library onto the stage, the player sprite shows up... so I know there's an image attached.

I'm running XP and have installed 6 .otf fonts, from the Avenir family. Flash MX 2004 and Flash 8 don't see all but the Light and Roman versions of the font (they are the only ones that appear in the font menu). Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop display all the fonts, however.
An associate suggested that sometimes Flash doesn't like the names to be non-standard; in other words, it doesn't like "Heavy", but prefers "Bold", etc. This seems to support the fonts not being displayed in the Flash font menu, as they are AvenirLTStd-Heavy.otf, AvenirLTStd-HeavyOblique.otf, AvenirLTStd-LightOblique.otf and AvenirLTStd-Oblique.otf. The only two being displayed in the font menu are AvenirLTStd-Roman.otf and AvenirLTStd-Light.otf ("Roman" and "Light" are pretty traditional names).
I've tried renaming the fonts to "Bold" and "italic", etc., but Windows still sees the original names. I've tried opening the fonts in Notepad and changing all references (for example, all "Heavy" to "bold"), but saving the font file (even if I add and remove a space) makes it unreadable as a font (security issues, I think). One reason I think it's a naming issue, is I did try renaming Heavy to Roman, and installed it, and Flash saw it as Roman, but it had the Heavy characteristic. This work-around doesn't work, however, as I need Roman, too (and renaming it Roman2 doesn't work). Is there any solution for this? I need access to all of the Avenir font family, as it's for a branded project that uses Avenir specifically. Oh, and last but not least, I have the fonts installed on my Mac, and Flash 8 and CS3 both see all the fonts, no problem.
