Manage The Layers And Objects And To Place In Front/back Of Each Other
Aug 22, 2009
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?

I have a wipe transition of a photo, and underneath that, another photo. So that when the MC is run, what the viewer sees is the underlying scene photo progressively (but quickly) being wiped over by the gradual revelation of a another pict. Now I want to programmatically move the underlying ("wiped over") layer to the top. The underlying scene photo occupies the lower layer. I've tried turning the wipe collection of mask and photo for one layer into one symbol, and the other pict scene into another symbol. But for the life of me I don't understand how the code for each goes into the layer tree. Or whether scoping out the symbols as I've postulated is even the right way to proceed.
The board doesn't allow for the ability to post the (f-) file, so there's no way I can ask if anyone can show me how to weave the code into the Timeline area. Also I'd like to direct the program to bring the lower layer to the top under certain conditions. There are no examples anywhere for how to programmatically do this for CS4. There was a CS3 way to do like this (this is a mouse rollover sample):

I have created a button which contains a movie for each county, when a user rolls over it pops out and displays a list of names. The problem I have is each button is on a layer and when you roll over the bottom button it's hidden below the others. Is there a script to bring each layer to the front automatically? I'm new to flash so if possible could you please explain in layman's terms.

I've developed a website and on the home page there is a series of css/ javascript dropdown hyperlinks. Some of these hyperlinks display a popup menu of further links on mousemover. Immediately below the hyperlinks is a small flash movie.
The problem is, when you mouseover the links and it displays the popup links, the flash movie appears OVER the drop links.
Is there a way I can either send the flash movie to the back using some kind of 'send to back' option like there is in dreamweaver? Surely I don't have to restructure my page to allow for this?

Part of a larger presentation I've made, there is some background music. What happens is an XML file is read to get a file to play. It plays. When it finishes, it reads the XML again to get the new file. It can also stop when a video plays elsewhere in the presentation then I pick it up where it left off and start the process again. Trouble is, the presentation randomly stops. The music stops and the slides in the presentation stop. The music and slides come from a single XML file. There's also a third part of the presentation (a text crawler) that never stops.
This comes from a totally separate XML file. I never get an error, the presentation just stops on a slide and no more music plays, but the crawler keeps crawling. I've removed all the code for the music and it runs perfectly so it's obviously related to how the music is managed. So, finally, my question is how do I manage sound objects? If I need to create new objects for each sound I load and play, I'll need to do manage the sound from a single function, right? Something like:
Code:
function whatever():void {
if song is not loaded {
read xml, load and play song;
} else if video is playing {
pause the song;
} else if video has stopped playing {
resume song;
}}

I have created a motion-tween with three images rotating in a flat circle from the foreground to the back. As the images move to the background, they shrink in size 25% and darken a bit. The motion has three stopping stages, with each image having a period in the foreground.
I am having an issue figuring how to make the images in the front to overlap those in the back as it rotates. I have tried placing each image on a seperate layer and placing the images on a single layer but it doesn't function the way I hope.

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?

Is there any way to make a clicked movie clip go to front, and then when released, go back to it's original position?
I've been reading about swapDepths and a few functions that allow to bring to front the MC, but nothing to return them to their original positions between the layers.
Can this be done? Or is it any way to make it look as it?

Is there someway that you can arrange movieclips in as3? Like when you right click on it and you can arrange "Send to back", "Send to front". For example I've exported 2 Mc:s to as3 and made a new instance in as3 by referring to the class I exported. So is there someway I can decide which one to put infront of the other one? If it's confusing my goal is to at some point bring one of the Mc:s to the front, and on another point bring the other MC so the front.

How can I implement this? I tried to use: (this.numChildren - 1)But it doesn't work. I want to use this code because I have 8 boxes, each are 100px X 100px. You hover each box and they flip over but the "backside" of these cards are larger in both length and width than the front. When they flip over they overlap the neighbouring card. I'm looking for some sort of script so that I can tell each card to align itself above the other cards on the stage.

I will try to give as much detail as I can. I am creating an CRM application using Flex(Cairngorm 2)/Java/Hibernate. The basic problem I am having is this: I have a Customer class in Java that has an ArrayList of Address classes. I have a Customer class in Flex that has an ArrayCollection of Address classes. When I make the remote object call for a Customer I get back a Customer object in Flex, but the ArrayCollecion objects have a data type of Object instead of Address. If I try to call for a List of Address classes I get the same result. If I try to call for a List of Customer classes I get a list of Customer classes in Flex. Using tomcat 6 with the following jars:

I am working on a website where I have some movieclips on the stage scattered. Some overlapping each other. Now when I move my mouse over any movieclip, I want the movieclips around it to move away from it and when I rollout they should get back in place. An example of this can bee seen on [URL].

1: When I get back to my main game screen, how do I keep my MovieClip in the same place it was before.
2: When I run this code:
Code:
if(numberOfGras**** == 1){
mcGrass1.visible = false;
mcMonster.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, TouchingGrass1);
}
It makes mcGrass1 disappear, but not the event listener. When I touch the area where it was, it still goes to the screen "math". [URL] That is the location of my .fla

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?

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 have a site with an SWF that I can put some metrics into, such as ZIP Code, Weight, etc.. then, it takes that info and gives me shipping rates.
I need to build a front-end site that I can have a forms page that will push data to the backend SWF, and then return the data back from the SWF to the front end.
Front-end -> SWF (Zip Code, Weight, Size) -> *Calculates* -> Front-End
That should be the flow.. So I need to send data to the backend, GET the data that it calculated, and return the results to my front-end.

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 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?
