Bring Your A Game To This Validation Challenge
Howdy y'all,
Got an issue here (I think it's minor); I think I've got the bulk of it scripted but I'm missing something.
I want the swf to parse data from a URL string into a dynamic text field, validate that data was received and, if not, display an alternate message. (for now I'm testing results with the "dynamic_content.txt" file, but once this is solid I'll be substituting with the // "headline1=" + "&loan1=" comment you see below)
Here's what I've got so far:
------------------------------------------------------
function LoadData() {
}
LoadData = new LoadVars();
myText.onLoad = LoadVars("dynamic_content.txt");
result = myText.text.IndexOf(myText.text);
if (myText.text != "" && result >=0) {
myText.load = LoadData();
} else {
}
myText.text = "Compare Mortgage Rates"
// "dynamic_content.txt"
// "headline1=" + "&loan1="
------------------------------------------------------
Anyone know where I'm going wrong? You'll be a rockstar if you figure this one out. I've attached the fla and txt files if ya wanna check it out.
Thanks mucho

How The Bring In MC's?
I have setup my timeline and buttons with an onPress goto part of timeline. this goes to that part of the timeline and I have some load movies and all is good.
If press the links to goto various parts of the timeline slowly as you would browsing, it displays correctly
But if I press these links quickly, parts are displaying all over the placce http://www.testing.discoverportsteph...main_site.html
I think this is all fine when I use load and unoload movie, but I think it's when I call regular MC's
I have a menu bar down the bottom that is an MC not an swf, this has 2 parts, an open and a close and I think when I press a link on the left it just plays the mc at any part
Can anyone help pls
Bring In 3D?
I purchased Flash under the--now I understand mistaken--impression that it works great with illustrator. (last time I used Flash it was 1999)
I was having fun limited illustrator 3D abilities, and I was hoping to be able to bring stuff to flash and animate it. I actually managed to do this but it wasn't fun and or easy and it doesn't look good. After reading this board I am surprised it worked at all.
(Not to state the obvious, I kept the objects vector. If I have made them png, I guess that would have fixed the problem, but I sort of imagined that being able to work with vector objects was part of the point of Flash. This animation has only about 50 steps, so that would be lots of pngs, well I dont' know. Is that what everyone does? I thought the file would be too big.
So now the flash file has about 5 000 graphics in the library. Oh well. So much for illustrator.
About the only thing that worked well about it, the layers did fall nicely into the frames.
But is there any 3D program that would work well with Flash. Nothing complicated, but something that could render basic shapes and keep the gradients after they are brought over to Flash? And, nothing against Freehand, I am always a game when it comes to learning new potentially usefull graphic programs, but really, is there a point learning it at this time? I would assume greater Ilustrator compadibility is *just* around the corner, and I do not come accros many projects asking for Freehand otherwise... Plus, how is Freehand with 3D stuff, any capacity?
What other program?

Bring To Front
Im sorry flashkit but i was just wondering what it took to get people viewing my threads.
anyway now you're here how do you bring an mc to the front via actionscript? I need it so that with the click of a button it brings a designated mc to the front and leaves the others in the background.
This is a new edit so the following replies are not relevant to this post.

How Do I Bring The Object Up?
I cant seem to figure out how to bring the object up, for example, I have two objects; (A) overlapping (B). How would I go about bringing (B) forward so that it is overlapping (A)?
any help is great, thanks.
Bring To Front?...
In my movie, I have movie clip windows (like popup windows, but drawn in flash) What I want, is when the button that brings that window onto the stage is released, it brings it onto the stage, but IN FRONT of the windows already there..
On the buttons I am using this...
Code:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("_root.win1") {
gotoAndStop (2);
}
}
Anything I can add there that will bring it to the front?
Bring To Front
does anyone know any code that would allow an object to be brought to the front. Kind of like in the

Cannot Bring Var To _root
This is the situation:
I have several MC´s into one another(4) and a button at the bottom of all of them.
The button is supposed to bring up a value contained into a textbox down there up to _root.textbox_variable
Like this:
on(press){
_root.top_textbox_variable=bottom_text_value;
{
But it doesnt work. It only works when I have the textbox one level below _root. like this:
on(press){
_root.MC.MC_textbox_variable=bottom_text_value;
{
As if I cannot go to _root but yes to _root.Sub
Any clue?
Thanks again for the help.
Bring To Front = Possible?
I have .swf loaded into containers. and in these "contained" .swf files, I have another set of contained .swf
Now, what I would like to know is: is it possible to brink one container on top of every other (I don't use level, but target)? For example: now, I have a mouse-trailing effect on one .swf and it pass under the other .swf
Bring To Front
I must be doing something completely wrong here as this is doing my nut in...
I'm simply trying to bring one object in front other... no layers are locked and all are visble, both objects (graphic) are on seperate layers. I try it from the menu option and nothing happens... Is there some attribute in that must be set for the object that needs to be brought to the front.
as you can tell i'm a newb so thanks for any help on this simple matter.
Bring To Front
I am using FlashMX 2004 and I want a particular object to bring to front when we press on the object.
I am using the following code:
mx.behaviors.DepthControl.bringToFront
It's working but it has some problem so I don't want to use it.
Is there any other code which can bring that particular object to front.

I'm using Flash MX 2004 and am trying to get the "Bring to Front" behavior to work.
I have 3 overlapping movie clips and would like to be able to click on a Movie Clip and bring it to the front. Then click on another of the Movie Clips and bring that one to the front.
Can you attach the "Bring to Front" behavior to a Movie Clip or does it have to be attached to a Button? If so, can you attach this behavior to a Button and bring the Button to the front?
Thanks.
Bring Mc To Front?
Is there a simple command that can tell a certain movie clip to jump to the front of all the other movie clips on that same layer? The swapDepths thing gets buggy when I have multiple movie clips open on the same depth level. Really appreciate it.. thanks!
Bring To The Front
Hello,
New to this great software!
How do I bring a photo or text to the front? In Flash you have layers and you can grab the layer and bring it to the top; however. Does the same work for KoolMoves?
Bring To Top - Depth
Hi,
I am working on a photo album job, I would like to let people drag the photos around and when click on a photo, it will be brought to the top. So I am using swapDepth to do that.
The problem is, there are 4 photos, I put as on each of them,
this.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth());
when click on one photo, it works, but sometimes it also change the order of other 3 photos,
I think it is because of it is a "SWAP" ?
So how should I make it only bring one photo to the top, but not touching anything else

Using Flash 8
I have 3 movie clips, all in the same frame and all on the same layer.
I would like to attach a script to a button on each movie clip that will position that movie clip on top of the other two.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Bring Over Variables?
hey guys, i have a MC on stage, and in frame 1 the variable's "var1", and "var2" are declared. However thease variables will not be used untill frame 2, when i enter frame 2, their values become undefined.
I know i could solve this with level_0 or vith global, but i really want a simple-er solution.
Is there a way to carry them over (2 different keyframes, no 1 long frame on a layer under them) or is there a way to get what level the MC is on, and assign the variables to that level?
Thanks for your time

On StartDrag Bring To Top?
How can i set up an mc that, when pressed, it is draggable and put onto the highest depth (above everything else)?
I thought i might be close with this but it's not working...
Code:
onPress = doDrag;
onRelease = doDrop;
function doDrag():Void {
this.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.startDrag(false);
function doDrop():Void {
this.stopDrag();
}

Bring Layers To Top
I'm wondering how to bring layers to the top in actionscript 3.
I've created many "boxes" using the addChild function as follows:
for(i=0;i<40;i++){
var b:MovieClip = new box();
stage.addChild(b);
b.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, boxChange);
}
The boxes scale larger and overlap according to mouse position and the movieclips that were created later always overlap the ones created previously. How do I bring a desired box to the front?
Thanks!
Bring To Front
Hi,
I have a movie clip on stage and when I click on a button, I need that movie clip to change position and come to the front of the stage. This seems like a very simple thing to do but I can't get my head around it. I'm a little confused with addChildAt, I have never used it before. Does it add another instance of the movie clip and bring that to front? I just need the existing instance to come forward. Could someone give me a simple code to do this?
Thank you

I'm not sure what it's called in flash, but how do I bring a movie to the front. It must be similar to "Arrange" in photoshop or just about any DTP app.
Why?
I have three movieclips that overlap, I want to bring each one to the front on mouse over. I know how to the mouseover bit, I just don't know which property to use... me thinks...

hey - i am using some script to determine which movieclip loads as to which button is pressed - like a nav bar and each movie clip is a page
but i want to make whichever it pressed come to the front of the layers
my code is this...
bt1.onRelease = function() {
if(currMovie == "mc1"){
stop();
}else{
_root[nextMovie].gotoAndPlay("fadeOut");
nextMovie = currMovie = "mc1";
}
};
bt2.onRelease = function() {
if(currMovie == "mc2"){
stop();
}else{
_root[nextMovie].gotoAndPlay("fadeOut");
nextMovie = currMovie = "mc2";
}
};
how can i integrate the swapDepths function so that the page is brought forward each time the pages are swapped...
thanks in advance -

Bring To Front
Hi,
I'm using this script to bring a movie clip to the front:
this.swapDepths(1000);
But the clip stays there even later on in the clip in frames that it's not even in. It's weird?? How come?
Is there a script that sends it back??
Bring MovieClip To Front
Here's what i've done.
I got a total of 6 .swf files . 5 of them contain my windows (MovieClips) - these are the contents.
When I click the relevant buttons on the main .swf file, the corresponding .swf will load (via levels - I got levels 0 to 5, 0 for the main and 5 for the last content window).
I've read that you got to use the swapDepth function. However, all the forum threads i've found here are related to movieClips which reside in 1 (ONE) swf file (that explains the use of _root). What I really need is how to bring them to the front from multiple .swf files (levels 0 to 6)
I will appreciate it if someone could guide me through this. Thank you.
Mc: Arrange >bring To Front
I have several movie clips on top of each other, in the same frame. I can activate each clip with its respective button. The problem is:
The button I'm activating should bring the clip I'm calling to the front.
How do you do this? Or is there another way around.
Each clip contains an image fading in, so it's vital to show the previous image through the transparancy of the upcoming clip...
..and it should also work in flash 4.
Help with this one would definately be appreciated.
Bring To Front Via ActionScript ?
As my first attempt with Flash I am making a puzzle. Each time I grab a piece I need that piece to be above all of the other pieces so that it does not go behind other pieces as I move it around the board, basically the equivalent of 'bring to front' in the editor. I have tried to find an object value that I can set on the fly eg. _layer, but I couldn't find anything like that.
Cheers in advance...

Bring HTML To Front From .exe--PLEASE HELP
I posted a similar question a few days ago and no response.
Here's the issue:
I have a full screen projector that has a few buttons that use getURL to open browser windows. Problem is, if the user clicks back on the fullscreen projector, the html window is no longer in front and all subsequent getURL links open in the window that is hidden from view.
How can I get them to always re-focus to the front? I've tried various combinations of Javascript in the target windows, but no luck (except on a Mac, where it works fine).
Sigh.
I really like using Flash for cd rom presentations but there are often links to web content as well.
Muchas gracias.
A Command To Bring To Front?
hi,
is there a command in flash 5 or mx to bring an mc to the front of a stack?
also a command that will send an mc to the back of a stack?
at the moment i am trying to modify the swap depths script:
_parent.icon-01.swapDepths( "_parent.icon-02" );
but this is more of a toggle feature than a set command
tnx
Can Someone Smart Flasher Bring Me Some Help?
Beginner help?
Hi all, first time post here. And a first time user to flash.
I have this movie, I want a mouseover effect on it. When I go on mouse over, I want the scene1 to get the animation in movie clip (named movie) to start, when I have mouseleave I want the animation to reverse, hope you understood that!
So how can I make this, Shall I press the first frame in the movieclip (movie) and actionscripted stop. And then returned to scene1, how shall I make the button to be the starting trigger in movieclip, and then reverce.? What actionscript shall I type in?
Hope you understood that and sorry all for my bad english.

Depth / Bring To Front
k, have a bunch of buttons that are sitting closely together. on rollOver they tween to a larger size knocking into one another. what i'm wanting to do is basically on rollOver set the button to Bring to front. I know that term is from print, but still is this possible???? i've tried swapdepth, but seems to be chaotic in a way for what i'm wanting. I'm using 5 & MX so a solution for either would be great.
Thanks.
