Z Depth _ Bring Mc To Front In Flash MX
I have a button inside of a MC - i want the MC to come to the front(or highest z order) when the button is rolled over?

I have about 10 of theses MC's with buttons in them but they overlap, so when you rollover one it comes to the front?

Thanks A Million!

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.

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 = 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.

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.

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?

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 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...

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.

is there a command in flash 5 or mx to bring an mc to the front of a stack?

at the moment i am trying to modify the swap depths script:

_parent.icon-01.swapDepths( "_parent.icon-02" );

On(Rollover) {bring To Front}
I have several buttons on the stage, but because they all overlap, I need which even one you mouseover to change it's depth so that it is on top.

I tried doing something like:

Code:
on (rollOver) {
trace(_this.getDepth());
_this.swapDepths(1);
}
... but it doesn't seem to have the required effect. And the trace outputs a figure like "-16375".

Bring MC To Front Problem Can Someone Help Me Please.
My existing mc's have action script so I can either drag them individually around the stage or I can drag a transparent mc that takes up the whole stage and it move's the individual mc's aswell.

In the inidivual mc's I have

if (!dragger) {
diff = _root.mc._y - _y;
diffx = _root.mc._x - _x;
_y = _y + diff/10;
_x = _x + diffx/10 + 15;
}
}

The problem is I need the individual mc's to come to the front when the mouse goes over them.

I have tried doing this through behaviors but it stops my drag script on the that same mc.

I am definately a novice at this sort of thing and im blindly trying to get this to work. I dowloaded a .fla and modified it and im nearly there. I just cant seen to get the mc's to come to the front.

Please could you take alook at the .fla for me.

Thanks

How I Do I Bring A Movie To Front?
Hi,

I have a movie with multiple items that are dragged and dropped around the scene. When a new item is dragged, it sometimes may be placed on or near and existing item, but as you pass near the other item, the dragged one goes UNDER the stationary item and loses focus, so the on release method is not recognised.

Is there a way of programmatically bringing a movie to front? I can see there is a way of detecting it's Depth, or swapping its Depth with another item, but I just want to specify it's depth as Front..and if possible, respecify it as Back later on.

Thanks for the help.

OnMouseOver Bring To Front?
Is there any coding that will allow a symbol (in this case a button) once it is is moused over (if that's even proper english) to come to the front?

I have four buttons on the stage acting as thumbnails to larger pictures. Once moused over, they show the larger pic. However, because of the arrangement, three of the four show traces of the others. Only one, the one that is in the very front, does not show the other thumbs once moused.

I hope that made since. I'm stumped. My brain hurts.

Bring To Front Issues.
i used the actionscript from the vibrating circles tutorial in a piece of flash art that i'm making. it works perfectly.

i added another layer on top of the one with the vibrating items on it, and i want it to appear on top of the vibrating items, so it covers some of them up.

even though it's on it's own layer, on top, the vibrating items are still appearing above the layer on top of them.

does anybody have any idea why this would happen, or how to circumvent it?

thanks ahead for any comments.
