swapdepths problems

• SwapDepth problem

  I have an interavtive module when the user drags objects using droptarget. Once exhausted elements the timeline then moves to an image where there is only a single object. What I don't understand, is that random items continue to appear in the image of the end where there is only a single object. How to appear these objects?

  {with (this)}
  startDrag (false);
  this.swapDepths (getNextHighestDepth ());

  }}

  I guess in a delivery and should be:

  {holder_mc0.onPress = Function ()}

  this.startDrag ();

  this.swapDepths (this._parent.getNextHighestDepth ());  / / assuming that you have no components in your application

  }

• Problem with swapdepth on buttons

  Here's the situation. I'm looking to do a simple web navigation bar. I have two buttons that are overlapping each other. On the bearing, I want the button located in the back to the front. This is the script that I have.

  run
  
  {
  tips_btn.swapDepths (home_btn.getDepth () + 1);
  }

  I used the trace to see what level they are in before and after, but the numbers never change. Both still remain at the same level. It must be something simple and I'm probably just on something. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

  You have not assigned to the movieclips instance names.  The names you assign to the library are not instance names.  Names of the instance at which are granted in the properties panel.  Allows you to reuse the same library item several times because you can assign the name of the various bodies.

• Tween problem?

  I am loading images dynamically and tries to get them to interpolation, but it does not work as expected (or the way in which it should be)

  Once Ive named the movieclip empty and load the film, he appears on stage. I have a defined interval and then activate the interpolations. The problem is that one of them active (and the last). ID like an animation that would put the image out of the scene in both directions at the same time (diagnal with a bit of rotation if possible).

  Here's the code,

  Import mx.transitions.Tween;

  Import mx.transitions.easing. *;

  import flash.filters.GlowFilter;

  import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;

  import flash.filters.BlurFilter;

  import flash.filters.BevelFilter

  Stop();

  TopShelf_mc.swapDepths (100);

  this.createEmptyMovieClip ("mcHolder", 1);

  var myLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

  mcHolder._xscale = 85;

  mcHolder._yscale = 85;

  mcHolder._rotation = 3

  mcHolder._x = 15;

  mcHolder._y =-13;

  myLoader.loadClip ("Pool.png", mcHolder);

  mcHolder.forceSmoothing = true;

  var timerone = setInterval (frameOne, 4000)

  function frameOne()

  {

  var on the side: Tween = new Tween (mcHolder, "_x", Strong.easeIn, mcHolder._x, 312, 3, true);

  var updown:Tween = new Tween (mcHolder, "FLF", Strong.easeOut, mcHolder._y, 230, 3, true ");

  clearInterval (timerone);

  }

  Can a created movieclip as I be interpolated ke I want (or I have to go in a code to do)

  Use a manager of of onMotionFinished (applied to your tween) to detect when a Tween completes.  in this handler use setTimeout() to call another function that starts the following interpolation.

• swapDepth in a movieclip play (no buttons/click)

  Hello

  OK, I have 2 mcs in the same layer: mc_bus and mc_cardrive.

  What is happening is that I used the CSM bus and cars travel on both sides of the road in the animation (they will go through the screen and then turn it over and drive in their respective mc).

  When they go through first they are superimposed on the right but because of the timing of every animation, there is a point where both go in the same way on the same side of the road. At this point the bus stops higher (next to the road to pick up people) and the car goes. The problem is when the car passes that it is recorded as being behind the bus (which would hit people).

  So I will try to get the car of swapDepths and come forward only when driving on one side of the road, as well as to a certain frame of reference essentially - any mc.

  Is it possible to use swapDepths in the middle of the animation? without going through a button or a key event to save it as every other tutorial ever about swapDepth uses?

  Thank you

  You can use swapDepths() at any time.  But if you use the Tween from the timeline, using swapDepths() during the Tween will probably stop interpolation.

• SwapDepths in layers?

  I use a simple piece of code on some fading in/out buttons that overlap slightly in order to ensure that those with the cursor resting above lies in front of others:

  on {(overview)

  yellowspotmc.play ("is");

  yellowspotmc.swapDepths (1000);

  }

  .. problem being that this brings the button in front all through all layers. How can I change my swapdepths to ensure than the layers above the buttons STAY above? - or do I have to add something to the other layers to give them a fixed "depth"? Cheers, r.

  what I would do, it's just all do on the depths of swap of upper layers with something superior to 1000

  so let's say your interactive stuff is on layer 1, its depth is 1-1000

  Then, you do everything on layer 2 depths of swap from 1001 to 2000

  for the clips on the other layers simply put:

  onClipEvent (load) {}

  swapDepths (1001); or what it should be

  }

• Problem with tween and event manager vignette (movieclip removes a scene)

  Hi im new to this forum thing so excuse my label if its inappropriate. Im having a problem with a hold of im file as2, this is a gallery of thumbnails 6 simple with coded interpolations. Once you click on a thumbnail then attached expansion is supposed to appear on the screen, it seems doesn't work after the first click a thumbnail, once the image appears then click it disappears, and this function only used to work once but now it does work only twice, but the second time around the bigger picture and cannot get rid of the stadium would be a problem of swapDepths?

  Here is my code, I've only fully coded first high tile left. enclosed please find my swf for the file, I could really do with help and everything would be appreciated thanks. I'm new on as you please be gentle.

• problem removeMovieClip

  I did a MC with the name of the instance - A, for example, and inside the MC 'A', there is an another MC with the name of the instance - B. But when I type the code:

  _root. A.B.removeMovieClip)

  in an if statement, it does not remove. I used the trace to check if the statement was false, but it is true. If the removeMovieClip code did not work. What is the problem?

  B is a non-removable depth when you add in the authoring environment.  use:

  _root. A.B.swapDepths (_root. A.getNextHighestDepth ());  unless you use components to _root. A

  _root. A.B.removeMovieClip ();

  numCompleted ++;

  message. Text = "Great Job! « ;

  They will run only once at the beginning of the film.  So I wonder if they really are, which belongs to the missing piece... completedPuzzleCheck

  function completedPuzzleCheck() {}

  {if(!numCompleted)}
  numCompleted = 1;
  } else {}
  numCompleted ++;
  }
  {if(numCompleted==8)}
  message. Text = "Great Job! « ;

• SwapDepths AS2 question

  I've searched this for over an hour now, and need another set of eyes it seems.

  Here's the question.

  I have a bunch of clips that I want to play when you click it.  It's simple.  The first issue came when I realized that I wanted to have interactivity inside these movie clips (i.e., if the root timeline has the click code, it will just start playing again and does not allow interaction).  It was a simple enough changes-> move the code inside each film sequence and attach it to the background of the item.

  So:

  leaf.onRelease = function() {}

  This._parent.swapDepths (this._parent._parent.getNextHighestDepth () - 1);

  This._parent. Play();

  }

  Now for the real problem.

  On the timeline root, these clips fade in and out (timeline tweens).  Once I clicked on the clip and run the swapDepths on it, it stops paying attention to the animation of the timeline on the root.

  So to be sure I'm be clear:

  Chronology of the root:

  video clips fade, stop interaction, melted

  video clips:

  then click on bottom, swap the depths at the front, allow interaction

  I have attached the FLA as well - just remove the .txt at the end of the file name to make it work.  Look at the sheet 'Comments Manager' - it's the only one with the related code.

  This is a normal behavior.  mixture of timeline tweening and actionscript (which affects the interpolated object) will break the interpolation of the timeline.

  to remedy this, use actionscript to interpolate the object.

• swapDepth vs another thing

  I have 3-4 clips on my miniature stage and onRollOver that they each pop up to reveal an enlargement...
  
  The problem I have is that on some popups, thumbnails of some of the images are on the top of the magnified image. I have looked around and found swapDepth and tried... but it is funky: either it will work, but if I roll two times the same image, it swaps the depth again.
  
  Is there another way of the Z-order of each change of film clip to the onRollOver of higher value? While when mc1 is rolledover, the value Z = 10 (and each other is less than that), and when mc2 is rolledover then it is the value of Z to 10 changes and is now on top of all the others...
  
  Any information would be appreciated.
  
  Thank you
  Brian
  

  I solved this problem...

  MC1 RollOver-
  MC1.onRollOver = function () {}
  this.swapDepth (5000);
  }

  MC1 Deployment-
  MC1.onRollOut = function () {}
  this.swapDepth (1000);
  }

  The documentation only shows you can use another name of movie inside the parenthesis clip... I tried to give it a value and it worked.

• getNextHighestDepth problem

  I have a problem.
  I created 14 movie clip buttons. Each button has a roll effect when you hover over. When you mouse out there is a graph which expands and becomes so small when you unroll. The problem is each film is on its own layer and when I roll over a movie, one will zoom in to the title of a film and hide the image and if I put the movie at the top of the layer of this film it will cause the same problem for one another so on and so forth.
  
  I tried to put this code one the first image where the clips
  
  movieclip.getNextHighestDepth)
  
  and this one too
  
  movieclip.swapDepths (_root.getNextHighestDepth ());
  
  but it does not always work. How can I get the clips to zoom on top of the other as you hover over each individual?

  No component, you can use getNextHighestDepth():

• Hit size problems in a MC

  Hi all! I have a little problem. I have a MC with this code.
  
  This plays a little animation inside the MC.
  A miniature of a car that has a mask on top which expands to show the rest of the car. Now the MC affect size starting as just thumbnail (small) but when the expansion occurs as the size of the affected area has also expanded to the same size as the (large) car. This does not work for me, not a little, because I have other images in a row. As you can see I have code in place until the MC that is put in place on the front (overlay of the image below).
  In short, I need the size of the success to stay small. How can I do this? I'm more than happy to send the .fla to anyone need to see what I mean.
  
  Thank you all!
  
  
  
  

  So I do not know if your like me but, I hate not knowing if a problem has been resolved or not, so in the interest of everyone else having the same problem, I fixed the problem and I answer to myself with the fix.

  To solve this problem by allowing to assign a State hit a MC different that's what I did.

  I have a movieClip with the beginning of the ainmation on the rolling and play backwards to decelerate. While at the same time to keep the image in front of the mpvieClip to the left or to the right (the ainmation is a layer mask on a large table, expanding from a small place to see the entire image). The reversal, effect of implementation and together this movieClip sitting on top was one easy to put with this code.

  onClipEvent (enterFrame) {}
  If (this.hitTest (_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {}
  this.nextFrame ();
  } else {}
  this.prevFrame ();
  }
  }
  on {(overview)
  _root.x += 2;
  _root.img_01_Mc.swapDepths (_root.x);
  }

  Great! But where is it, my question is in force! The affected area size incressed with animation. Do all the trash effect. That you would have to completely exit the movieClip to get to another. So the way around this is to creat an ontop movieClip movieClip "animation" and the "Alpha" value to 0% and then attach this code.

  onClipEvent (enterFrame) {}
  If (this.hitTest (_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {}
  _root.img_01_Mc.nextFrame ();
  } else {}
  _root.img_01_Mc.prevFrame ();
  }
  }
  on {(overview)
  _root.x += 2;
  _root.img_01_Mc.swapDepths (_root.x);
  }

  Sorry it's so long, but I appreciate when people give an explanation "lay-mans' for the 'n00bz" there.

  So with that said, a jump to the bottom of the code >

  «If (this.hitTest (_root._x...» »
  "This." refers to: the movieClip with the Alpha set to 0%, to which the code is attached.

  "hitTest" means: If the mouse pointer is on the movieClip then start animation "img_01_mc". Named with "_root.img_01_Mc.nextFrame ()"; This plays the animation forward.

  "another {" means: If the mouse pointer is no longer on the movieClip (with alpha 0%) then the animation backward playback by calling this part of the code in force "_root.img_01_Mc.prevFrame ()"; and the animation starts to play in reverse.

  The last part of the code is simple.

  on {(overview)
  _root.x += 2;
  _root.img_01_Mc.swapDepths (_root.x);
  }

  This indicates just the movieClip 'img_01_Mc' to sit ontop of other clips to the left or to the right if the mouse is over the affected area.

  All this said and done. It might be a little difficult to follow without seeing what I'm talking about. So if you want the .fla just ask and I'll be more than happy to send to someone who loves him!

  Happy 'flashing '.

  All the best,

• problems with removeMovieClip()

  Hey - I have problems to remove a video I created with attachMovie. the clip has many other video clips inside. But when to use it:
  
  removeMovieClip (mcStack);
  
  mcStack does not disappear. Is there something I need to do the first to operate the removeMovieClip?
  
  BTW - mcStack has a reach where I am using removeMovieClip... If I say mcStack._alpha = 50; It's transparent. I can't go far! : PEI
  
  

  I tend to use
  mcStack.removeMovieClip)

  but I don't think it would make a difference.

  What number you get if you try

  trace (mcStack.getDepth ());

  It might be out of range for removal - are you using getNextHighestDepth() when you join initially - and possibly some components as well >. (I don't really know what would happen if one of its child clips receive a depth "off limits" – If you can remove the parent movie clip or not.)

  If the trace gives you an extremely high number or a negative number then just try something like:

  mcStack.swapDepths (9999); a depth where there is no other movieclip
  mcStack.removeMovieClip ();
