Bring To Front

[ferretneck]

perhaps a plugin will be made for Flash MX called Flash SX, which will incorporate some level of animated pornothology?

maybe? Perhaps a lara croft one has already been developed for all those nerds out there

mind you i'd look at it. for a while.

[owk]

yes i would have to also look at it for education purposes only of course

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.

I'm not much of a scripter in Flash, but in Lingo I'd have a duplicate of the movie you want to bring to the front on a higher layer and either set to invisible or placed off stage. That way you can make the further back one disappear and the higher one appear simultaneously.

That should avoid any nasty coding eh? possibly cheating I'm not sure.

Hope that helps..........

In your main movie, make three (or what you need) movieclips with two frames.

At first frame, leave it blank with action.

stopAllSounds();
stop();

in the main timeline, put the following function:

function startSound (stop,play) {
      _root[stop].gotoAndStop(1);
      _root[play].gotoAndStop(2);
}

At second frame, put your sound control, and the in the next / prev button, put the following code:

on(release) {
      _root.startSound('mus1','mus2');
}

I hope this helps...

yeah man it pretty much worked a treat! Needed a bit of fiddlin to get it to tie in with my mc's but got there in the end - minus a few hairs and 60 plus cups of caffeine later

I'm after coding or a tutorial for a space invaders game but I can't find anything on flashkit!

Does anyone know of a good tutorial or file download for this game?

[ferretneck]

the flacists have changed the subject of my thread.

PETITION:

If you want it to be reverted back to 'Sex with Flash' please reply to this post with 'Down with Oppression'.

Thanks.

Its not oppression, the title was left to gain views for your answer. When your question was answered suitably, the thread started going downhill. To avoid plunging further downhill, the title has been changed.

The threads fine as it is but very soon it would be bordering on unsuitable for this g-rated forum.

sorry

[ferretneck]

very well.

Ben's Final Thought:

This has, and should carry on to be a very interesting experiment.

It is remarkable how one certain word can make such a difference to the views on a thread. It would have been nice to continue to clock up the views on the thread, maybe for psychology reasons?

If you can find it in your heart to return the thread to it's original subject title, i'm sure that it can be used as a (clean) forum in itself. With over 1600 views it provides an interesting read for users of flashkit, and something to lighten up our dull days of actionscripting at work.

The thread spawned from a frustrated flashkit user, who's average post view number rarely exceeded 4 or 5.

At the beginning it was a simple trick to get people viewing the post, but it has now become an icon for the people of flash, and a board-wide symbol of the dying creature that is humour in the work-place.

Amen.

I don't mind the term sex with flash, I don't mind it at all, this trick has been used before countless times with unanswered posts. The only thing I'm worried about is the large number of children who visit flashkit, some might come along and start posting obscenitites. I will change it back but will be keeping an eye on it, only for the sake of the humour in the workplace, now what do you want the title to be?

[ferretneck]

Thanks for that and I can honestly see where you're coming from.

If at all possible could it go back to the original?

[RazoRmedia]

I'll see what I can do

Then it already failed:

COME ON MACROMEDIA!

SORT IT OUT!

This is a Flash help forum with 13 year olds around.

On top of that, most of the posts have been people conratulating you on your brilliant title, or going on about post counts.

Use the Coffee Lounge for that.

just a tag so I can follow this thread.

It is almost at the point of closure if you have a response to your original question. You might consider it for the sake of others.

Keeping it open at the top of the forum with an eye-catching title when you already have your answer just pushes other threads (maybe with as yet unanswered questions) down the list, a good reason to leave the title as is.

Point taken. Perhaps the 'Sex with flash' thread has met its maker.

Ok lets lay this puppy to rest.

sniff.

[david petley]

cheers,
I will do it, but you can do it yourself too if you are the originator (for future reference).

thanks for your understanding,
