How would one Create a "Custom Cursor" that can move BEHIND certain layers?

In terms of Flash expertise I am on the the doddering divkid level -- but have mananged to create a custom cursor; a hand that I want to move about over most layers but under one specific layer. Currently, no matter the layer order, when published the cursor image jumps straight to the top.
Is there a property I can imbue in the would-be "top" layer or a way of editing or modifying the custom mouse cursor actionscript that would bring about the desired result?
Many thanks in advance for your time and expertise...........................peace

you can easily attach the cursor between the specific layers you want using an empty movieclip and add your cursor movieclip to the emptyMC using the class name. Look at the screenshot and follow the code. it works
and here is the code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var whytehand:MovieClip=new cur();
emptyMC.addChild(whytehand);
emptyMC.mouseEnabled = false;
emptyMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_CustomMouseCursor_5);
function fl_CustomMouseCursor_5(event:Event)
    emptyMC.x = stage.mouseX;
    emptyMC.y = stage.mouseY;
Mouse.hide();
Thatz it!

    There are a couple of approaches you could try.
    Clipping paths
    1. Draw the part shape as a closed path.
    2. Position the image of woodgrain above or below the shape where you want it positioned.
    3. Cut
    4. Select the closed path.
    5. Paste Inside.

  • How should I create a swing UI that can be consumed by a variety of apps?

    Hi,
    I have written a few different swing based java applications that could use a similar user interface class. I would like to create user interface that opens in a popup window, allows the user to do some work, and then returns a resulting object to the parent UI. My needs are too cusomtized to use a standard dialog object.
    So, what is the proper way to build a UI class that can be consumed by other applications? I don't know if I build such a thing in a JFrame, JPanel, etc. Pointers to a specific tutorial would be very helpful. I just want to make sure I can build this as a stand alone project that I can consume by other projects.
    Thanks very much,
    Alan

    For a Swing GUI object which can be shared among several applications, I would use a JPanel. If you want something which pops up and returns an object based on user input, I would use one of the standard JDialog static methods, passing it an instance of this JPanel.

  • How would I create a simple script that does these specific things?

    I am trying to create a script that does these few simple task but I can't seem to compile all the cmdlets together into one. I can pick one task out and have a command for it but I want one script to do it all. Here are the tasks I need it to do.
    store the current location (as in C:\scripts)
    test to see if a folder C:\output exists, if it does not, create it
    prompt the visitor for a folder name (no C:\)
    obtain a directory listing of that folder showing all .ps1 files only
    place the results of this listing in a file named PS1_files_[folder name].txt in the c:\output folder
    repeat this task as part of a loop until an empty string is entered
    restore the present location (for example C:\scripts)

    This is a very good script for a someone new to computers to use as a learning exercise.  You will learn how the computer works an learn how to use scripts to manage the computer.
    This is the excat kind of scritp a teach hands you to do on the first day of class.  THe challenge will help you learn.
    Start here to learn how to write a script:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx
    Good luck. Post back with specific questions.  Do not forget to include your script and the complete error message.
    You need to learn basic computer logic and decision making.  The learning materials will step you through that.

  • Within the budget template; how would one create an entire year worth of a budget; with out having to create a separate page for each month?

    Help!
    Loving the budget template, but I would like to be able to create an entire years worth of a buget with out creating a whole new transaction/budget page for each month. How do I get the new transaction to identify a new budget chart?
    Thanks, Emily

    Emily,
    No need to think the budget template is only for one month.  Just keep typing the date in the date column of the "Transactions" sheet and the details will update.  You should adjust the budget categories to match the duration of time you want to use.
    If you do want month-by-month, then you can switch to the "Transactions" sheet, select the table, cut
    then switch back to the "Budget" sheet, paste.
    Now rename the "Budget" sheet something like "Budget Jan 2014", and delete the "Transactions" sheet. Set the budget for Jan in the column I highlighted above.  The subsequent months, duplicate the monthly budget:
    Then adjust the the entries in the transactions table inside this sheet.

  • How would one create a template for articles?

    My website:
    ModTheBox
    I have tried finding a tutorial to make a standard template
    for articles (the updates on the site); without this this standard
    template (or whatever would need to be created to make it more
    standard) I have to go through a process that would include making
    many layers, positioning, and a sloppy mess. If anybody would know
    something to help me with this dilemma it would be much
    appreciated, thanks.

    I don't understand your question.
    The page you link is a frameset. You cannot make a template
    of a frameset.
    So - what is it you are asking?

  • How do I create a text field that can be manipulated by the user?

    I have created a form that will be changed by the user from month to month. In this form they may have the need to make some of the font bold.
    The text fields that will end up being bold will not be the same every time so I can't format the field to be bold.
    Is there any way to allow the user to be able to choose whether a text field is bold or not?
    Thanks,
    T_Sands

    Thanks GKaiseril. When I do that and go to preview the form I see where the properties are listed as an option, but they are in light gray so I can't select them. Any idea why this is happening?

  • Generic custom control that can display an image or swf?

    Hi,
    I want to create a custom control that can take an image or swf as an argument and display it in the same way.
    If the programmer uses this control (which essentially is a button with custom display) I want him to be able to just state the source and the text that is to be shown. Like this:
       <myControls:myButtonControl descriptionText="swf object" symbolObject="{Application.application.shape01swf}">
    or
       <myControls:myButtonControl descriptionText="img object" symbolObject="{Application.application.shape01img}">
    where shape01swf and shape01swf are embeded objects as follows:
       [Embed("../assets/swf/Shape01.swf")]
        public var shape01swf:Class;
       [Embed("../assets/images/Shape01img.jpg")]
       public var shape01img:Class;
    Which kind of object should I create in my custom control that can display this?
    Right now I have created a Class that extends VBox so that I can display the image/swf above the descriptionText.
    (I am using Flex 3.)

    Aha, so the Image control can use an swf as a source as well?
    I just assumed that it could not and I would have to use the SWFLoader to do it.
    So, this is my solution:
            override protected function createChildren():void{
                iconField = new Image();
                addChild(DisplayObject(iconField));
                textField = new Text();
                addChild(DisplayObject(textField));
                super.createChildren();
            private function init(e:Event):void{
                iconField.source = symbolObject;
                textField.text = descriptionText;
    Thanks!

  • How can I create a custom formula that checks if a PC file exists? (CR10)

    Post Author: lgayosso
    CA Forum: Formula
    Hello,
    I need to create a formula that validates whether a PC file exists or not to display a message ('File Found' or 'File not found'). I created a custom formula that displays the appropriate message based on a report field composed of the FilePath + FileNameWithExtension that works correctly if the field includes a value or not (Basic Syntax below):
    If {ctDocumentImages.ImgPath} <> ""  Then    Formula = "File Found"Else    Formula = "File not found"End If
    Now I want to validate that the {ctDocumentImages.ImgPath} value corresponds to an existing file; that is, I need to check that the file specified at {ctDocumentImages.ImgPath} location truly exists to determine that the file is actually 'found'. How can I accomplish this?
    Any help is greatly appreciated,

    ( my file connection name was CrystalReports_Reports.File Name)  I have generated a report, that shows all my rpt file names, size, last updated.... etc )
    Go to database expert, create new connection, select file system data, your starting directory will be
    genplex\E\JEMS51_Server\Imaging\Int\2007\.....  you can then report on the file names found in that directory / subdirectory, etc...  When creating the link you can select all files, or just *.rpt  for example
    Ok, so you define more than one connection on your report to be able to access the File System Object, right? The problem is that my reports are generic and meant for distribution for customers where no generic base folder will exist. The value of the starting directoy is then unknown, FilePath+Name then can be any value.

    What version of iPhoto?
    THe basic answer to duplicate the book as things may change when you change size, select themes again and pic the cover and  size you want -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

  • How would one skip from point to point that the video is changing while editing.

    How would one skip from point to point that the video is changing while editing, like if a certain set of pixels changed to white, and then mark it.?
    Basically, I have a set camera, and when certain objects change color I want to mark it.   Think of a baseball flying through the air off a pitchers hand, and be able to skip to each point the pitcher is in that position.

    The only method of this level of content analysis I'm aware of is with your eyes.
    You'll just have to wacth the video to find those parts.

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.
