View 1 RepliesI'm using a really simple bit of code on some fading in/out buttons which overlap each other slightly to ensure that the one with the cursor resting over it sits in front of the others:[code]problem being that this brings the button in front of everything across all layers. How do I change my swapdepths to make sure the layers above the buttons STAY above? - or do I need to add something to the other layers to give them a fixed 'depth'?
View 11 RepliesI'm having my first go at creating a custom component that lays out items in a grid. I have made a selection of inspectable properties accessed though getter/setter methods. Some of these parameters are dynamic, and change when the user resizes the component or changes another linked value. Is it possible to make the parameters panel update with the new values when a change takes place. Without this, the user will not have accurate feedback on the values stored in the component. Does anyone know if this is possible (or difinitely impossible)?
View 1 RepliesI 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?
Is it possible to change the order of layers in a Flash MovieClip timeline using ActionScript 3?
View 1 RepliesI am colorblind.I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline.I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing.It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color.I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text.Changing the text color would really be my preference. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff.
View 7 Repliesin other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and press Send or otherwise activate it. That's NOT what I am trying to do here in reality (i.e., no,I am not trying to spam other people's chat rooms or anything)but just an illustration of a similar situation.I can include in it whatever widget or hack that may be necessary.The reason why this problem is arising for me is that AFAIK the SDK that is providing me the data I want cannot be directly accessed from Flash, so I need a way to pipe the data from a regular app into Flash. can I have the Flash app interact with other apps through localhost IP? Or are there draconian restrictions on which server Flash in browser can and cannot interact?

View 3 RepliesI have been tasked to create banner that has four mouseover areas. The main body of the banner--which includes hyperlinks--and the background of the entire banner must change as the user mouses over the four areas. See the diagrams at the following link (it is not working properly):I attempted to complete this task as follows, but it really isn't behaving properly. I created a layer of buttons and text, and set the alpha levels to 0 for the "over" state of each button. I then created four separate layers containing the appropriate content. When the user mouses over a button on the left, the proper layer would be displayed. I planned to use Actionscript to accomplish this; pseudocode here:
IF button1.mouseover == true THEN { display layer1, hide layers 2, 3, and 4 }
IF button2.mouseover == true THEN { display layer2, hide layers 1, 3, and 4 }
IF button3.mouseover == true THEN { display layer3, hide layers 1, 2, and 4 }

I currently have a scene in Flash CS4 that consists of an image layer1 (converted to a motion tween), image layer2 (converted to a motion tween), an actionscript 3.0 layer, and a hotspot layer. Let's say the animation is 10 frames long for simplicity. At frame1 I want the visibility of image layer 1 turned on and the visiblity of image layer 2 off. Then, I want to spin image layer 1 and 2 simaltaneously (I know how to do this with motion tweens of course) but mid-spin, say at Frame 5, I wish to turn on the visiblity of image layer 2 and turn off the visibility of image layer 1.
How do i change the visiblity properties of my image layers with actionscipt? I assume there is a class I need to load and then change the properties of the image layers in the actionscript layer at the corresponding frames I wish those properties to change.
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?

[URL] Theres the example to work with....anyway....as you can see, im loading in movies externally...each on its OWN different level....what i want to do is make it so that when i click a menu option on the left, the current swf loaded on the stage closes and the new one comes up (to avoid the clutter of 10 differnt windows all scattered).....here are my thoughts:
1. have variables on the root timeline that are basically "currentLoaded" and "currentLevel" -- which basically will store the name of the currently loaded swf and the level that its on.
2. each swf would have code on frame one that would see if the 'currentLoaded' varible is blank, and if not...it will close the current loaded swf ....
my dilemma is that i dont know how to change the level dynamically...i know you could do the instance name like this:

I used the liquid Flash layout file from this site , but i got one problem.I placed the script in a layer called actionscript and on frame 1, under it there is a other layer called background. I placed in just a square with a gradient color and made it a movieclip. I also placed this on frame 1. Everything is working perfect from this point but when i want to place a keyframe on frame 10 in the background layer and make a motion tween so that the background fades in from 0 opacity to 100, it doesn't work.

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to make a website in a number of buttons and layers. In one section i need to have an if statement on the buttons as where in the timeline they go is dependant on where the user is (this location is set in a variable called "destination".
The problem is that when i have = in the if statement it bypasses the first section and only does the else action (ie trace ("else")), and if i put == in the statement it only does the first action (ie trace ("gallery")) no matter what "destination" is.
here is my code:
on (release){

I'm looking at some requirements for an upcoming flash project. One requirement is for the browser url in the address bar to change as a user clicks around in the flash movie so that a user might copy/paste said address into an email and another visitor will be brought to the same location. Is this possible?
