Actionscript 3 :: Re-stacking MovieClips In An Array?

May 13, 2011

I was trying to make a similar thing with the game SameGame (ie. the block above the removed blocks fall downward). Before trying this with an Array that contains MovieClips, this code worked (tried it with int values). With MovieClips on the array, it seems not working the same way.With int values, example:

popUp(0, 4): Before: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10; After: 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10

But with MovieClips:

popUp(0, 4): Before: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10; After; 1,2,3,4
// Assume the numbers are movieclips XD

Basically, it strips everything else, rather than just the said block >_< Here's the whole method. Basically, two extra arrays juggle the values above the soon-to-be removed value, remove the value, then re-stack it to the original array.

function popUp(col:uint, row:uint)
{
var tempStack:Array = new Array();
var extraStack:Array = new Array();

[code]....

Array's And MovieClips - Use The Naming Conventions Of An Array?

Nov 18, 2009

I received help on this site on this info-graphic im doing and the solution was to use an "array" which im not familiar with at all. the person that helped me added the following code that worked:

var city_arr:Array = new Array("louisville");//filll that array with all nedded cities//make all the boxes invisible at startfor (i=0;i<city_arr.length;i++){    var [code]...

since i dont know how to use arrays im stuck. i need to add at least 30 more cities to my info-graphic but don't know how to use the naming conventions of an array.Only one of the houses works (when you click on it a pop-up appears, is draggable and has an x to close the pop-up)

IDE :: CS4 Stacking Layers?

Mar 22, 2011

I've made my site with photoshop and all images are in *.*png, saved with transparency and in the same resolution 1000x750. I exported them into my working file in Flash. No problems here.I've started to put each of the images in separate layers and in stacking order I wish, still no problems.Now, I am about in 20th layers I am inserting the image, again in separate layer and what happened? The layer will cover over the layer which is almost at the bottom. Meaning...only the trasparency which is very strange.

IDE :: Load And Unload Swf W/ Flv W/out Stacking?

Nov 20, 2009

I want to load and unload EXTERNAL SWF that contains FLV on mouse click. Loading and unloading the swf is NOT the issue. The problem is how do i get the external swf which contains an flv to stop playing and stacking up on each other.

I can load and unload the swf's as long as I pause the videos before I click on another thumbnail, but if I click on another thumbnail while the external swf is playing it's flv, the previous flv keeps playing and stack up under the newly loaded swf.

Stacking Several Masking Layers Do Not Work

Jul 31, 2009

The attachment contains two screen shots of a movie clip timeline. The images consist of a text mask symbol sliding diagonally other a text layer, and a picture button sliding to the left under an aqua blue mask. When I scrub the timeline -- things work great. But when I view the movie via the control menu, the dynamic text is not displayed. The images illustrate the masking layers in unlocked and locked mode.
I'm using CS4.

HTMLText - Image Stacking And Putting Tag On One Line

Apr 4, 2009

ActionScript 2.0 :: Changing Stacking Order (swapDepth)?

Jan 25, 2006

I've been following the Changing Stacking Order (swapDepth) tutorial but there's something I'd like to know.In this tutorial, we have 3 buttons inside 3 Mc's. Each Mc is called green, yellow and blue.The AS code for each button is:

Code:
on (press, release, dragOver, dragOut) {
x = 0;
x = x+2;[code]....

What I would like to get is that the MC (window) that I click, goes to the top, BUT respecting the relative position for the others. I mean, in this tutorial, if you run the swf file and put every window a bit one over the other, and click the bottom window, it will come to the top, but the other two won't keep their relative position because the clicked window will be swapped with the one on the top. Understand? (it's very simple although difficult to explain).To make it easier: let's imagine we have 3 papers on the table and I pick up the one in the bottom and put it on top....this is exactly what I want (but in this tutorial, the other 2 papers are moved aswell). I just want that the window I click gets on top of the other 2, nothing else.

According to Kirupa's words, this EXAMPLE here is done using swapdepth aswell, and IT'S EXACTLY the behaviour that I want. Just compare this one with the one in the tutorial and see the different window behaviour.The thing is that I don't know how to do this with "swapdepths". In the AS reference bok it says it can be done but (as usual) they don't tell you how to do it...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Overlapping Menus In CS3 Stacking Order?

Oct 23, 2007

I've been working with this file for quite some time now. I have several buttons in this file - for example, general information. From this button (actually mc, using hittest to function as a faux button), another menu springs out. This menu overlaps the button underneath it.

The problem I've been having is that, when the submenu pops out, the user is still able to activate the buttons beneath the submenu (it overlaps the other "main" buttons).

My solution was to "hide" the movieclips that are overlapped by the submenus, like this:

IDE :: Accessing Different MovieClips In Array?

Mar 14, 2010

I'm having problems making a loop of different movieClips. I've been able to find info about duplicating the same movieClip but I can't seem to get it to apply to this. This is what I am working with: I have 13 different movieClips of an animated character. They are titled montyDog_mc, montyBear_mc, montyCat_mc, etc. I also have a next and a previous button. What I need to happen is for the movieClip animations to cycle through, one at a time, each time the user clicks the next or previous button. I think I should be creating an array of some sort but I am very confused about how I list the movie clips in an array and apply it to the button.

This is what I have:
montyArray = new Array();
montyBear[0] = "montyBear_mc";
montyBee[1] = "montyBee_mc";
montyCow[2] = "montyCow_mc";
montyDog[3] = "montyDog_mc";
[Code] .....
Am I targeting the movieClips properly?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Movieclips From An Array?

Nov 29, 2010

Just started to make the switch from AS2 to AS3 and am having a few problems, most of which I've managed to fix but this one has got me stumped.

I'm trying to create some buttons dynamically that are spaced out evenly.The clip is in the library and exports as NavButton. I've created an array with all the button clips inside it. This is called navButtonArray and when traced shows the NavButton clips. My problem is when I try and add them to stage. I can't tell if it's only adding 1, or just placing them in the same place, or if it's continually replacing the previous navButton.[code]...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change Stacking Order On Display List?

Nov 3, 2009

I have a series of mc's that I'm adding to the a display list of "theContainer".

I've set up my code so I can click any mc in that list and make it "selected". I can then, with controls outside "theContainer", change the selected clip's  scale or alpha, etc.

I'd like to set up 2 buttons outside that display list so I can change the stacking order of those clips in "theContainer".

So if I add clip "a" to the display list, then add clip "b" to the display list then add "c" and "d" and "e and "f" to it, I want to be able to move any of those clips forward or backward.

Is there a way to use actionscript to change the stacking order of objects?I run two functions when i start my game, one that adds the player and set it's properties and one that generates the map. The add player function is run last so the player will appear above the map, the problem is that i have some objects on my map that i would like to appear infront of the hero, like certain tree's for example.

Is there a way i can make these objects appear infront by using actionscript? Using different layers won't work as everything is generated dynamically.

ActionScript 3.0 :: TweenLite CPU Optimization - Just Stacking And Never Garbage Collecting?

May 12, 2011

I'm currently working on a game where every "Step" - defined by a global time modifier - everything on screen calculates where it's next position will be, then uses tweenlite to animate itself to that location. This program runs for about 10 seconds before it eats 100% of my CPU. iMac i5 quad core, so it's not the hardware.

The problem is specifically in the following snippet, and the peculiar thing is if I teleport everything to it's next position (i.e. don't tween it there) the CPU is stable at 6% (where flash IDE consumes 4%). Does anyone know why these tweens are just stacking and stacking and never garbage collecting? (This is what I assume the problem is, as I can't find another explanation as to why the problem only exists when i TWEEN to the next location)
