Tab Order


How do you change the tab order in a form? Or how does it work? Is it the first field you put down the first one?

Drawing Order / Z-order
I've noticed that AS provides some functionality for setting the render ordering of sprites/objects onscreen, but it doesn't seem a very easy system. It kind of looks like you haveto know the index of every item to be able to do anything?

2 Examples I need to control this:

1)I load a pre-created SWF representing a game level. There is a background image and then a few things in front of the background. Now I dynamically ad sprites to the level. The sprites should always be shown in front of the background, but behind the other pieces of scenery.

2)I have many sprites on screen moving around. I want the drawing order to be that sprites lower down the screen are "nearer" than those higher up, so the drawing order should be to draw sprites in order of decreasing y-coordinates. Obviously sprites are moving around so the ordering needs to change often.

Can anyone tell me the kind of thing I need to do to make these situations work? There doesn't seem to be an easy way to just say "put this item behind that one", unless I plain misunderstood the docs?

Thankyou

Load Order, Force Load Order
I was wondering if there is a way to force the load order of graphics, movie clips, buttons. I am most interested in force a paticular graphic in my swf file to load before everything else.

Tab Order In Mx ?
Does anyone know how to control the tabbing order in MX. I’m designing something that partially sighted people can use with screen readers and screen magnifiers, but the way that MX tabs around the screen is sometimes random.

Tab Order
Hello - I have a quick question... Anyone know how to set the tab order for text fields. They seem to be jumping all over the place. I tried "tabIndex" but I don't really have any docs on how it should be implemented and could not get it to work so that I could say "this field is #1, this field is #2...". Any ideas?

Tab Order
Hello,

I am using Flash MX, and I have a movie that has multiple text fields. I am trying to set the tab order for them, but I am having some problems...

I am doing the following:

compName.tabIndex=1;
tagline.tabIndex=2;
officephone.tabIndex=3;

and so on.

The problem is:
I publish and then run the movie. I then try to tab. It tabs in the correct order, however it takes 2 tabs to move to the next field. It is doing this on all the fields. If I only press tab once the cursor dissapears, then I click it again and it goes to the next one in line.

Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Tab Order....
How do i go about setting the tab order for a contact form from within Flash. I currently have one set up on the Chana Goodman link in my sig. The tab order for the form goes like this:

First Name:
Last Name:
Email:
Comments:
Company:
Telephone:
Send Button.

However i want it so the tab order goes in the following order:

First Name:
Last Name:
Email:
Company:
Telephone:
Comments:
Send Button.

I no this is a simple thing to set but im new to the MX version off Flash so if someone can point me in the right direction on sorting the order off this then ill be most greatful.

Thanks, Mental

Tab Order Help?
Hi, I have a problem with flash MX - I was happily using the following script in flash 5 for a tab order in a form to work...

on (keyPress "Tab") {
if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.FORM.TITLE") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.FORM.INITIALS");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.FORM.INITIALS") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.FORM.SURNAME");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.FORM.SURNAME") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.FORM.COMPANY");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.FORM.COMPANY") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.FORM.JOB");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.FORM.JOB") {
}
}

which works great for flash 5!!! But now I have made the same file in MX - added some flash 6 code else were and now when I save the movie down as a flash 6 version - the code isn't working!!!!!!


Dose anybody out there have a some tabulation code that works with in flash MX/6??????

thanks

Tab Order
I have searched and searched and I know that it has to be there somewhere. Where do you designate the order in which the selector moves when you hit tab. For Example: In the form as you hit tab it moves progrressively down the form. In my form in Flash it jumps all of the movie.

Thanks for the help.

Tab Order?
This makes me crazy!
I have several, hidden "forms" that I, at a certain time, show (as popups) and want the user to fill out...
My problem is flash´s non-existing tab-order... I tried the extension "frog_TabOrder" but this one does not suit me since I have these "forms" in the background all the time.
Why in h--l hasn´t macromedia implemented a simple tab-order thing into MX... Now I´ll have to make a huge script since all my forms has different field-names that need to be checked.
Anyone that has a good tutorial about this?! Or know any simplier (more dynamic) solution?

Tab Order Again
As well as being able to tab between input text boxes in a particular order, I’d also like to be able to tab back to certain text boxes.

code: answer1.tabIndex = 1;
answer2.tabIndex = 2;
answer3.tabIndex = 3;
answer2.tabIndex = 4;
answer4.tabIndex = 5;
Unfortunately however, what actually happens is that the tab order goes answer1 answer3 answer2 answer4 i.e. answer2 is missed out first time.

Is there any solution to this problem, please?

MC Order
Hey,

I have another problem :P

As you can see in the attachment, I have 3 draggable objects, each shape is a movie clip and inside the movie clip is a button which drags the whole thing. Anyway, the problem is that I cannot figure out how to order them through actionscript. Say, on the button (the one inside the MC) press it orders the whole movie clip to the front on the stage. Anyone know how to this?

Many Thanks

I have a form in flash with some input textfields.

Once published, when i hit TAB, a nasty yellow square go to each different textfield, and then to even hidden movieclips, making my movie look horrible.

Is there a way to prevent the tab skipping function for everything except the textfields I indicate?

Is there a way to change the colro and widht?

Is there a way to set the tab order?

I already searched the forum but what I found was related to buttons and how to skip, not order them.

Onclick Z-order?
ok, I am missing something here. I know this is simple, but I can't make it work! I need to set z-order of objects (tabs of manilla folders that are stacked visually) by "onclick".
By this I mean;
A stack of folders. You can see the labels all lined up across the top, and when you click on the label for "folder 12" (or whatever) folder 12 moves to the top of the pile so you can see its contents! I can fake it by setting different keys in the timeline for each folder to be on top, then just onclick to keyframe...but that is BLOATED!!!! Grrrr....can anybody help this poor script-challenged idiot with simple, monkey-level instructions?

Thanx!

Help With Order Form
Hello Everyone. I am trying to create a order form that will communicate the data to a PHP script and then send to someone via email. That part I have down, here is my problem: I have a shell swf that all movies are loaded into. These products are shown in one of these loaded swf's and then when the product is clicked on launches another swf which has text fields for entering quantity. I have tried to load this last swf into an MC but then the text fields wont work meaning they are not there and cannot be typed into. When I load this last swf on the top of another movie the text fields work fine. My second problem is trying to figure out a way to store all this data somewhere so all the info can be sent to the PHP script at once and with the swf loaded on top I dont see how I can do it. Anyone who can help I am thanking you in advance.

Changing Order -----> HELP
Have a list with 7 duplicated mc's that are placed underneath eachother.

The goal is that the user can change the order of the list so f.ex the first one on the place of the third one. the fifth on the second place etc.

this is what i put as codes


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.newmouse = _ymouse;
_root.mouse2 = _root.newmouse;
original_name = this._name;
this._name = "dragged";
for (i=1; i<=7; i++) {
if (this.hittest(_root.roller["dup"+i])) {
_root.dragmovie = this;
_root.hitmovie = _root.roller["dup"+i];
}
}
this._name = original_name;
}

Now with this script I can detect which one I drag and which one is hit. But the problem is that when I drag a mc down so f.ex mc2 to mc 5 it does it all fine but when I drag i upwards f.ex mc4 to mc2 he doesn't detect I hit mc2. it seems the script works all fine downards bu not upwards.


Tried lots of things but nothing works. I'm a bit desperate here.....

Hi all,

is there a way to make swf files load in a specific order? I'm producing a preloader and flash detection swf followed by a one-frame but multi-level main-swf which loads a couple of swf's on its only frame (via load movie). Some swfs need to be preloaded whereas others can just play whenever they are ready.

Loading Order
i keep seeing movies where you are already in the main movie but when new movie clips come onto the stage they appear to be loading. I don't expect u to understand what i'm talking about cos it's hard to say so here is example: -

http://calpomatt.lavista.org/

when you click on artwork or photography a movie clip appears that says loading, this really bothers me because if you leave the main movie open for about 10 minutes you would expect it to have pre-loaded all of the movie clips in the movie, right? but when you click on photography it only starts to load once you have clicked it.
Whenever i create a movie it doesn't start until all the movie clips are loaded, is ther a way to set an order of loading or am i going crazy?

Just out of interest does anyone know of any tutorials where i can find out how to create that scrolling effect from the mouse position?

Thanks, sorry about all the stupid questions again./

on (keyPress "<Tab>") {
if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.Name") {
Selection.setFocus(_level0.Email);
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.Email") {
Selection.setFocus(_level0.Company);
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.Company") {
Selection.setFocus(_level0Comments);
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.Comments") {
Selection.setFocus(_level0.Name);
}
}

The Name, Email, Company, and Comments fields are all in a movie clip. What is the correct path to use? How can I figure it out?

Thanks, this is driving me crazy!
