Jun 9, 2011I'm having trouble managing the depths of my movie clips.I've got a startDrag() function and a stopDrag() function. Whenever I rollover another MC, I want the depth of that object to change to 1+ the object it rolled over.(I apologize if my English is poor)This is as far as I got, but cIndex returns the depth of the object that is currently being dragged; not the object it's hovering over... Is there a way to get that depth?[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Know How To Swap Depths
Aug 28, 2010ts an interactive gallery where when a photo is selected it plays the movie clip and the photo grows to fill the screne. The problem is, since the animations take part within the movie clips and all the movie clips exist on the same layer when they are selected and grow to fill the screne they are being hidden behind all the movieclips infront of it in that layer I know that there is an action to bring movieclips to the highestdepth or to front on click/release but i do not have a clue where to start
View 5 RepliesSwap Depths: Not Working With Animation
Jul 31, 2009*I can't post the file due to the company policy, so I'll do my best to explain. 3 movie clips: slide 1, 2, and 3. Each loads an external image.
Layers (how I have them set up):
slide 1
slide 2
slide 3
The slides have a 3d feel, as if they are in the distance. When the user clicks one, the slide(mc) motion-tweens towards the screen, while the other 2 stay back. Obviously, if slide 2 comes towards the screen then slide 1 will be over top of it DUE TO layer structure (above). And of course, 1 & 2 will be over slide 3. To get around this I made a "current" layer over top of all the slide layers. So if I click on slide 2/3 then the tween is up on the "current" layer instead of the "slide 2/3" layer so that it's the highest.

Jan 10, 2012Its been a while since I've done anything in AS3. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I am working on a type of menu where there are 6 cards and on roll over of one of the cards it is brought to the front of the stack. What is the correct method of doing this in AS3? Can someone post a quick example or point me in the right direction to a link that does a good job covering this. I did a quick search and didn't find anything right away that did a good job explaining so I thought I would head over to AS.org

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: SetChildIndex - Getting MovieClips To Swap Depths
Oct 4, 2011I have this script I am writing where when someone hovers over a button it displays a popup box until they roll off. I have that function working alright, but I need the movie clips to swap depths, I realize I can do this with setChildIndex but I'm running into a small problem with my children/parent situation.
My items are added as such:
root > color_mc (blue or red or whatever) > button (this is the hover)
I have the event listener added to the button for each color, but I need it so that when the button is rolled over, it takes the color_mc and moves it to the -1 spot. I've tried writing the code a number of ways but can't seem to get it.
Code:
function manageMouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
var parentClip = event.target.parent.name;
parentClip.setChildIndex(parentClip, parentClip.numChildren - 1);
event.target.parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
That code gives me the following error:
Error #1069: Property numChildren not found on String and there is no default value.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Navigation ForLoop Swap Depths
Jun 30, 2009This should be interesting in explaining what it is i'm looking for. I have multiple buttons on top of each other. And when the hit state on the other side of the screen is rolled over the text will change, which are all overlapping each other. Would swap depths be the best answer for this to bring the one I'm rolling over to the top? And how would I implement it into my for Loop? I'm using the for Loop for my navigation:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Xscale Larger When OnRollOver / But Need To Swap Depths
Jan 4, 2004I am making a photo gallery with thumbnails and when the mouse rolls over them, they increase in size. Problem: when they increase, they do not cover the other thumbnails completely, since it is only an _xscale percentage increase and not a new movie clip. So you can see all the other thumbnails over the increased photo size. It is a problem of swapping depths I'm sure--but do I have to take off all the thumbnails from the main level and load them dynamically onto different levels in order to be able to swap depths?

Mar 11, 2010I was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;
