Variable Order Of Selction

Help With Sence Selction
Help help... I'm trying to build a flash website but have a question... I have no problem getting from scence to scene with button control but I would like one scene to fade out before the next is loaded rather then just jump from to another... can anyone explain to me how to do this?

Variable Order?
Alright, in this site, theres a back login to change 4 variables. Each variable is a number 1-whatever. I need it so that when you change the variable number on the backend it will change the variable permanetly. I assume i need to have it read from a txt or something? Correct?

Function Fails When Variable Isn't In Order
Hi, have a working function as follows::
Code:
function removeThumbs(){
for (y=0 ; y<_root.vars2.countImages ; y++){
_root["mainCont" + y].removeMovieClip();
_root["thumbCont" + y].removeMovieClip();
}
}
Yet as the viewer advances through images, the "thumbcont" changes from "thumbcont1 - thumbcont10" to "thumbcont11-thumbcont20." Therefore, calling "removeThumbs()" doesn't work, when in the second or third set of thumcont images is being displayed, simply because there is no "thumbont1" etc.

How can recode to this to work for this discrepancy?

thanks

Pass Variable In Order To Link To Certain Frame In Flash Movie
i'm trying to pass a variable to my flash movie in order to make it go to and play a particular frame (referenced by its label in the actionscript).

i found the following on a message board and have attempted to implement it:
Here's a php example:

Let's say your external party wants to link to a frame label
"externalParty1"

Their html button would have this link

<a href="yourSwfPage.php?label=externalParty1&">Click here</a>

Now yourSwfPage.php has been sent a label variable in the query string which
is all you need. You will pass this on to your swf file like this in the
object tags.


<!--Your regular object tags here -->

<!--The variable which came in via the query string above -->
<!--is sent to flash from here via PHP -->
<param name="movie" value="yourSwf.swf?label=<?print urlencode($label);?>&">

And finally in your swf file you would have a method to manage the label
instruction

In yourSwf.fla have this on the first or second frame of the _root

//Did an external link come in?
if (typeof label != "undefined") {
this.gotoAndPlay(label);
} else {
//otherwise no external label so normal play
play();
}//end ifbut it doesn't seem to be working. is there a mistake in this information? can anyone advise on how else to accomplish this if this is not the correct way?
many thanks!!

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.

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.

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.

Help please...

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!
