Flash :: Using ChildIndex - Stop It's Behavior Like Pile Of Paper ?
Dec 14, 2011
In AS3, changing the childIndex of one movieclip ( say from a list of 10 movieclips), may change the childIndex of some another movieclip ( Flash probably does it to prevent outOfIndex error ) It sometimes become a headache to manage and code them, as movieclips show above each other in an unexpected manner.Is their any inbuilt way to make movieclip stick with a particular childIndex ? ( In AS2 there were depths that kept constant from 0-9999. And it was a real breeze as compared to AS3.0)

My movie publishes fine in FP9. When I try to publish in FP10 (so I can use unloadAndStop() ) I get a pile of 1009 errors and many of my Tweenlite instances won't work. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? Are there big differences between FP10 and 9?

I'm animating a torn sack that will deflate as the beans inside of it spill out and pile on the ground. The sack I'm animating frame-by-frame, so the problem is the beans-- I can't imagine animating them one by one, but I know nothing about actionscript and the few tutorials I've found online don't address what I need to do; worse, they seem hopelessly complex.

Not sure how many remember what flash paper was, but it was a program that converted PDFs into a flash application.So I am building it in AS3 (not the conversion process, but the viewer).My question has to do with the zoom feature, well I guess the previous/next buttons as well.The way the previous and next buttons work is they reference an array of Y values of where the next page is. The array looks like this:
0,800,1600,2400,3200....etc
This works fine, however, when I go to zoom those values are not accurate anymore more.
Whenever you Zoom up I up the scale by += 0.1
Whenever you Zoom down I down the scale by -= 0.1
In that process I need to update the Y Value array to match the new height of all the combined pages. How could I do that?

I have all the functionality that I want. The basic premise of this exercise is that youth will grab a statement, drag over a microphone and it'll appear on the corresponding area (board1, board2, board3). So if they grab two statements in a row it'll place their answers at my predetermined spot. Is there a way to space each answer by a difference of 10 px? So they grab answer one and it'll go at (x) 75px, answer two will go to (x) 85 px? Basically ensuring that the mc's will not overlap or pile up.
Code is below:
// listeners
backbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backclick);
helpbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helpclick);
answerbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, answerclick);

How can i set the ChildIndex of a MovieVlip that's on the main timeline, by coding inside another MovieClip?
Here is my code on the main timeline.
Actionscript Code:

So, in this game I'm working on I'm trying to change the ChildIndex for enemies that are shot down, so that they drop behind a certain background element, instead of in front of it. The enemy in question (when shot down) dispatches an event to my main/engine class, and after that a certain function is called. Here's the code that goes into that function:
Actionscript Code:
var groundObj:DisplayObject = stage.getChildByName("Ground");
var groundIndex:int = stage.getChildIndex(groundObj);
//trace(groundIndex);
setChildIndex(e.currentTarget, groundObj -1);
I'm able to trace the groundIndex variable, but I can't set the new index for the enemy. Errors I get are:
1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
and
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:DisplayObject to an unrelated type Number.
Then, if I try to just put 4 or something, instead of "groundObj -1" I only get the first error. I actually managed to "solve" this problem temporarily by spawning the enemies before I add that specific background element to the stage. Like, if I let the enemies drop bombs or something later, I want the bombs to be one ChildIndex above the player.

I've got a 3d cube that rotates but when the the front side of the cube is in the back during the rotation, it blocks the view of the back side because it's child index is still higher. Is there anyways around it, I tried detecting the sides coordinates by using globalToLocal3D but the z property is always 0. below is my code, just copy and paste if and you'll see what I mean
var cube:Sprite;
var frontSide:Shape;
var rightSide:Shape;
var leftSide:Shape;

I have an array of n Movieclips placed in a circle rotating around the y axis. I have to make sure that the MCs with the higher z values are behind the ones with a lower value, i.e childIndex. I tried a couple of approaches but I don't seem to get it right.

I discovered _visible. What I can now do is pile everything onther same frame and change the _visible of items when I want them to show. Before, I used to have different items on different frames. And I would move to the frame when I wanted an item to show. Method one is a little bit harder, but once you've done it a couple of times, it becomes easy. And I find it easier and quciker to develop once mastered. The second way, well I kind of thought: maybe this is less processor intensive? Movies are only brought onto screen when they need to appear. Is this true??

On my old computer (Windows XP) I was using Flashpaper to convert jpg files to swf files that can be panned and zoomed. It worked great for my website. Here is an example. [URL] I just purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium for my new computer (Windows 7). I was told that it included the ability of Flashpaper to create the pan/zoom swf files. I can't find this ability. Please tell me where it is located or that I need to purchase Flashpaper for my new computer. Please note, I use Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver, but the only Flash I use is the swf to pan and zoom via Flashpaper. Please keep this in mind when answering my question, i.e. I probably need specifics if the functionality is located in Flash.

I installed Adobe Flash CS5.5 a couple of days back...Trying to learn a few basic tricks such as motion tween (messed up things with the bone tool though)..Well the problem is, a friend of mine made a 3D drawing in Solid Works(a modelling software). It is a sort of box, now he wants me to make a flash animation for the box which starts from a sheet of paper and folds into a box and then the camera zooms out.
Now i have no idea how to do that..jpg file can be made and imported to flash...but as it will be an imported file how can it be manipulated to achieve the final task....taking screen shots of the box at various stages of solid works can be done and then played all together in flash baut it would be very tiresome and time consuming...
I dont want anyone to make it for me just guide me what tools and tutorials to look at.

I am placing several AS3 buttons (actual buttons not event-laden MCs)on a Flash stage and want my enlarged rollover images to always come to the front of all other dormant buttons.My script-fu is weak,but piecing together the advice from several helpful posts I have generally learned how to set the childindex on a rollover event to be high enough to go to the fore.I plugged in the appropriate language in my action frame and was psyched to see that the coding worked...but only briefly.After just a few clicks (it seems that whenever a button is hit for the second time), not only did the childindex trick stop working, but the buttons (which act to send the user to labeled frames later in the time-line) stopped working altogether.It seems that the issue is definitely related to the setting of the childindex, because when I remove those event listeners/commands,the buttons all work fine for an infinite number of clicks (but the enlarged rollover images are stacked in one static sequence, blocking each other out).Is there something inherently incorrect about this approach?Something simple that I am overlooking? Some way to reset the process on each click so it does not get gummed up (I tried re-setting childindex #s to 0 on rollout or on click, but it did not help)?
I have had it suggested that rearranging the order is destroying ability to recognize mouse events...but not sure if this is correct, what it would mean.The code that I am using for each button (for setting the depth and for redirecting on click) is below,

When you open the website and load the contaner with all mc,there is two situations:
1) Load perfectly and my container 3D effect is not so CPU Intensive and works smooth
2) My container with all _MC is very slow and eatin the CPU. The 3D effect is totally screwed up. The container is scaling it self all the time on the x-as and y-as.
Open the a new browser and set it to max view (not fullscreen) then open the domein URL...I use Tweener addTween() for the 3D effect... off course if i turn it off its all fine.. But i like this 3D effect so much.

I'd started a discussion about a problem with a SWF file not loading an XML data file when rendered in a .NET WebBrowser control (see here)Further investigation has revealed that if the XML data file is loaded using Action Script 2 (via XML.load()), it works. But if the SWF file in question uses Action Script 3 (via URLLoader.load(), I think), the data file is NOT loaded, UNLESS the XML file is in the same folder as the HTML file.
If either SWF file is loaded using Internet Explorer 9, then everything works OK.Are there any know issues (which would be apparently well-hidden from Internet search engines, because we've been beating on those) regarding the performance of SWF + Action Script 3 + .NET WebBrowser?

I want to create a block game where you can drag blocks. I'm looking for the friendliest drag behavior. It should only move horizontal or vertical, and 1 block position only. It should snap (ease to desired target position), cause you cannot release it in the middle (in between blocks). It should kinda behave like an iPhone switch button, but in a cross. I have tried to do it by check the angle of the mouse to the original position of the block, to check which direction it should move. I want it always to go move through the center (original position). I mean; it cannot animate from the left position to the upper position, it should animate to the center first.The blocks are top-left aligned and there is spacing between the blocks.
UPDATE:This is my current code. It currently moves into upon the direction, but doesn't animate to the point.

In Chrome upon network error, the event object in error handler is behaving differently than IE and flash player (i.e. directly running the swf, not from the browser). Consider the following test code :
private function loadData():void {
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError);[code]....
In IE and flash player, debugField shows error : Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http:[url]... but in Chrome it is error : Error #2032That is URL is stripped from the text. Why this is differentany way to get the URL in error handler? Or is this a bug of Chrome itself?My Chrome version is 5.0.375.86

I setup a login system using Flash / PHP /mySQL. The other day, the server I was working on went down, so I had to setup everything on another server. I am able to send the query to PHP and it prints the result in Flash. (Either "Success" or "Failure"). And I do get the correct response depending on what I write as username / password. But either way, the if statement says its not "Success". This worked perfectly on the other server. Here's the AS (as I get the correct result from PHP it can't be a problem on that end):

I have this function that fires upon clicks in a particular area of a component I've created:
PHP Code:
private function dispatchDragEvent(e:MouseEvent):void
{
switch (_targetType)
[code]....
For some reason when I test this in Flash it works fine, all traces come through. But in Flex, SDK3.5, when I run debug if _targetType is "assign" everything is fine, but if it is "correlate" that branch of the code fails at the hitTest conditionals. It will trace "should execute one of these", but then nothing else happens. So it's like for some reason Flash is OK with the conditional code, but Flex is not cool with it, and doesn't report anything as to why...

I add everything dynamically via actionscript.In the Flash authoring environment, when I test the movie, sometimes all of the movieclips on stage disappear and all I see is the color of the Stage.The strange thing is that I can still rollover/rollout (I added trace statements to my rollover/rollout handlers).
I'm also tracing out the 'visible' and the 'alpha' property and visible=true and alpha=1.0 !On thing that I am seeing is sometimes the rollover/rollout methods get called multiple times in quick succession. I.e. the method invocation order is rollover, rollout, rollover or rollout, rollover, rollout.
The actions that I have in my rollover and rollout methods are really simple. All they do is turn on/off other movieclips...imagine a map...when you rollover an icon, a path shows up on the map and when your rolloff, the path goes away.
However, if I adjust the window of the test movie window, everything appears again!The crazy thing is that when I publish it, this behavior doesn't happen in the browser or as an app! Could it be a memory thing with the authoring environment?
Posting some code here:
private function rollOverUserListener ( e:MouseEvent ) {
trace(">>>>>>>> rollOverUserListener() e.currentTarget.name : " + e.currentTarget.name);
trace("e.currentTarget.alpha: " + e.currentTarget.alpha);
trace("e.currentTarget.visible: " + e.currentTarget.visible);

trace(escape("д"));
will print "%D0%B4", the correct URL encoding for this character (Cyrillic equivalent of "A").However, if I were to do..
myTextArea.htmlText += unescape("%D0%B4");
What gets printed is:
ô
which is of course incorrect. Simply tracing the above unescape returns the correct Cyrillic character, though! For this texarea, escaping "д" returns its unicode code-point "%u0434". I'm not sure what exactly is happening to mess this up, but...
UTF-16 ô in web encoding is: %FE%FF%00%D0%00%B4
Whereas
UTF-16 д in web encoding is: %00%D0%00%B4
So it's padding this value with something at the beginning. Why would a trace provide different text than a print to an (empty) textarea?

I've got this script, as it works now the text is loaded with XML.
It animates across screen, but not quite as i wish. If you download the script: www.playart.dk/scroller.rar -> you will see the text removes itself before another text from the XML is loaded in the flash...
The way i would like it to work where it all comes in at the same line, so you can see 2 captions(nodes, text) at a time in one line...
If you dont want to download the file, the script looks like this:
//_root.p = 0;

//Hent XML

If the mc is empty, I guess it has no bounding box parameters.
