MovieClip pipeline order

hi,
i`ve beeing having problems with pipeline order of movieclip
actions, like enterframe, onMouseMove.
I would like to sort the pipeline but i can`t find where.
I`ve already changed depths but it dosen`t change witch
movieclip enterframe goes first.
if anyone know anything about it please help me.
Thanks

Not really sure what "pipeline" order is, but if you mean the
order of code execution, there is really very little you can do
about it.
I believe I once saw some post and maybe a tutorial or two
about how Flash determines the order and stacking can have an
effect as well as the order of layers.
As far as I know there are no preemptive type commands to
ensure something is done first. And considering that folks have
made all kinds of amazing Flash things without that and adding on
that this is an almost never asked question here, I'm guessing that
what you are trying to do can be done in a different way to avoid
the problem.
So what are you trying to do?

Movieclip load order FIFO or FILO

Hi, I recently purchased Zinc to simply have more control
over the window
(placement, title, icon - that's all I wanted for this
project!!) and it is
causing issues with my program.
I use the following code to create some movie clips:
for (var i=0;i<count;i++)
filePath = pstrFolderPath + swatchNameArray
paLoadedSwatchClips.push(new swatch(this, pobjMainRef,
pmcSWFHolder, i,
filePath, theCounterValues));
The swatch class has the following code that actually creates
the clips:
loadListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
trace(target_mc + ' is done loading' + ' !! ' +
thisRef.pnID);
var mdm = _global.mdm;
mdm.Exception.DebugWindow.trace(target_mc + ' is done
loading' + ' !! ' +
thisRef.pnID, mdm.ASYNC)
thisRef.pmcLoadedClip = target_mc; // Set reference for
calling play and
stop
thisRef.pobjSetRef.mClipDone();
// Store height before we put textfield on there
thisRef.pnMyHeight = target_mc._height;
thisRef.mCreateCounter(initialCount);
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
var thePath = _global.mdm.Application.path + swfPath;
mcLoader.loadClip(swfPath, pmcButton);
My trace statements in Flash are in order - 0,1,2.....
I am using Flash MX 2004.
When I run it through Zinc, and when customer support runs my
files, the
trace statements are reversed - 2,1,0
I guess I'm wondering if load order has changed since 2004
version... This
problem is breaking this part of my program when I run it
through Zinc, and
want to know if it is Zinc, or an issue with Flash?
Any help would be appreciated,
Jason

Update for anyone who cares...
It seems flash 7 and 8 are different in how they load movie
clips. Using an
older version of Zinc(which uses player 7) works just fine.
Seems to me,
Flash 8 loads them first in last out, where Flash 7 loads
them first in
first out.
Good to know for me at least!

How to check if a image/MovieClip is in particular position??

Hi, I m trying to develop a e-Learning kind of stuff where in All the planets of solar
system are jumbled and then the Kid has to drag and drop the each planets in order.
But what i need is After the kid drags and drops the image/MovieClip in order, I need
to verify all the Planets whether they are in particular order or not. How to Verify the
Objects?? Please Help.

you can calculate the distance (or something comparable) from the sun and use that to determine if the planets are in the correct relative positions.

SwapDepth in numerical order!

Hi, I'm working on a project and I've broken it down so it
will be easier to manage. The first thing I want to do is:
I'd like to have 3 movieclips (more eventually but I'll start
with 3) that are numbered, 1, 2, 3 in their instance name. They
will each overlap.
I want a button that will, when pressed, change the stacking
order of the movieclips in order of number. It will start with 1,
and when the button is pressed number 2 will be placed above, and
so on.
When number 3, or whatever the highest movie is, is above the
others, I would like the process to start again, so that when the
button is clicked, movie number 1 will have the highest stacking
order, and so on.
This is just the first part of my project, and hopefully I'll
learn alot from any help I get.
Thanks!

the sort() method of arrays and when complete, loop through your

the depth array.
Would you be able to give a basic description of how I would
do this. I've been using AS for a few years but I'm still learning.
I'm not that familiar with sort(), but I know how arrays work.

Attaching movieclips inside other framed mcs?

This is a program I wrote to attach a movie clip to a target:
function avi(target, clip, hval, num, coordinatex, coordinatey){
    var hval:MovieClip = target.attachMovie(clip,clip+num , num+5);
hval._x = coordinatex; hval._y = coordinatey;}
example:
avi(man.manR, "manRblack", k2, 2, 0, 0);
it works on the surface, such as
example:
avi(man, "manRblack", k2, 2, 0, 0);
but fails when the target has a parent. I.e.
example:
avi(man.manR, "manRblack", k2, 2, 0, 0);
How do I target the "child" of a movieclip in order to attach a file to it?

Edit:
I thought there was something fundanmentally wrong with what I was trying to do so I made a simple program to test it out.
>>
function avi(target, clip, hval, num, coordinatex, coordinatey){
    var hval:MovieClip = target.attachMovie(clip,clip+num , num+5);
hval._x = coordinatex; hval._y = coordinatey;}
bar.onRelease = function(){
    avi(bar.box, "block", k2, 2, 0, 0);}
    goto2.onRelease = function(){bar.gotoAndStop(2);}
        goto1.onRelease = function(){bar.gotoAndStop(1);}
<<
there are 5 objects in this program (all various boxes of different sizes - nothing complex).
1. bar - the main movie clip. Click "bar" to attach "block" to "bar.box"
2. block - the movie clip to be loaded from library
3. box - a child of "bar". box only exists on frame 2 of "bar"
4. goto2 - a button that tells bar to go to frame 2, where "box" is located
5. goto1 - a button that tells bar to go back to frame 1, where no "box" appears
What Happened?
When bar was on frame 2, where "box" was visible, attaching block works without errors. However, when bar is on frame 1, "block" does not attach to anything - even if you then go to frame 2 to see if it attached in the memory - the program only works on "active" frames. Worse still, even though the block attaches in frame 2 (if you are in frame 2), when you go from frame 2 into frame 1, and then back again, Block is no longer attached - it is forgotten.

Uploading an image dynamically into Flash

I'd upload an image choosen by the client, but I want to wrap it in a movieclip in order to manipulate its size and color with color transform. How can I do it? (AS3 in Flash 10)
My code:
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
   import flash.net.FileReference;
   import flash.net.FileFilter;
   import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
   import flash.events.Event;
   import flash.utils.ByteArray;
   import flash.display.*;
   import flash.geom.*;
   var loadFileRef:FileReference;
   const FILE_TYPES:Array = [new FileFilter("Image Files", "*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.png;*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.GIF;*.PNG")];
    function loadFile(event:MouseEvent):void {
    loadFileRef = new FileReference();
    loadFileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onFileSelect);
    loadFileRef.browse();
    function onFileSelect(e:Event):void {
    loadFileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoadComplete);
    loadFileRef.load();
    function onFileLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
       var loader:Loader = new Loader();
       loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDataLoadComplete);
       loader.loadBytes(loadFileRef.data);
    loadFileRef = null;
    function onDataLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
    var bitmapData:BitmapData = Bitmap(e.target.content).bitmapData;
    if((bitmapData.height)<=(bitmapData.width))
                var r:Number = bitmapData.height/bitmapData.width;
                var ra:Number = 500*r;
                var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
                matrix.scale(500/bitmapData.width, ra/bitmapData.height);
    graphics.clear();
    graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
    graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData, matrix, false);
    graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 500, ra);
    graphics.endFill();
    } else {
                var d:Number = bitmapData.width/bitmapData.height;
                var da:Number = 500*d;
                var matrix2:Matrix = new Matrix();
                matrix2.scale(500/bitmapData.width, da/bitmapData.height);
    graphics.clear();
    graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
    graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData, matrix2, false);
    graphics.drawRect(0,50, 500, da);
    graphics.endFill();
boton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadFile);
Any help will be very appreciated. Madrid.

If you see the code, I draw a rectangle in order to enclose the bitmapData as a fill. I made it in flex adding the rectangle to a canvas with ID, and then applied the transformations and zooming to the canvas itself successfully. But my client wants some other issues that only can be made in Flash, and I have to transfer the whole code to Flash, For instance, look at both codes and you will grasp what I'm trying to say:
1) Flex:
imageView.graphics.clear(); // "imageView" is the canvas id.imageView.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData, matrix,false);imageView.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 500, ra);
imageView.graphics.endFill();
2) Flash:
   graphics.clear();   // you see? There is NOT an instance name. How can I manipulate THIS?
    graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
    graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData, matrix, false);
    graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 500, ra);
    graphics.endFill();
Thanks a lot for your patience. Madrid.

Movie Clips in Array

I am trying ot push attached Movieclips into an Array
btnUp.onRelease = function():Void {
var grp1:MovieClip = test.attachMovie("Group1", "mcOne", 1);
myarray.push(grp1);
I think this works.
What I am trying to do is that after the user select the
movieclips he or she wants (40 choices total) they will be pushed
into an array and that when they select finished choosing the
movieclips will appear in order in which they chose them in another
frame or movieclip. But when it comes to arrays I am
clueless.

the code to display the selected movieclips (in order) is
after the comment.
when you're ready to start the display, set index=0 and use
that code after the comment.
to have those movieclips appear at a designated _x,_y assign
myarray[index]._x and myarray[index]._y to suit your needs.

Embeding 3D tween

Hi,
i'm trying to embed a MovieClip (which contains 3D tween) from .swf file to AS3 project.
[Embed (source="graphics.swf", symbol="MyAnimation")]
public dynamic class MyClass extends MovieClip
But it doesnt work... any ideas?
Thanks!

You need a class var assigned to "MyAnimation" and instantiate that class as MovieClip in order to use it in your app. For example:
[Embed (source="graphics.swf", symbol="MyAnimation")]
public var MyAnimationClass:Class;
var myAnimation:MovieClip = new MyAnimationClass() as MovieClip;

View of views, what will speed faster or slower why ?

we can create view of view.But will it work faster or it will be slower.
Can any one tell me the reasons.

So it is (I think) generally accepted best practice
to always write views which work only with tables and
not other views. Of course this can lead to lots of
duplication, if you have many views which are
variations on a theme. That seems a bit excessive to me, but perhaps I'm in the minority here.
I would much, for example, have no problem creating multiple layers of views in order to prevent identical logic from getting spread across lots of different views because it's almost inevitable that when the logic changes, the "variation on a theme" views are going to get out of sync.
If you have some concept of "pipeline orders" for orders that are in various stages of the pipeline, I'd have no problem creating a PIPELINE_ORDERS view and having the CUSTOMER_PIPELINE, SALESMAN_PIPELINE, and WAREHOUSE_PIPELINE views reference that view rather than embedding the "what qualifies as a pipeline order" logic in all the views in order to ensure that everyone is using the same definition. I've seen way too many cases where a simple test got coded in slightly different ways in different views resulting in subtly different output that caused subtly different bugs.
Of course, depending on the logic, you might be able to create an IS_PIPELINE function that could be put in all the views in order to centralize the same logic, but that may cause bigger problems if Oracle decides it now has to call the function a bazillion times for the bazillion closed orders in your table. To which, of course, you might decide to create a function-based index on the IS_PIPELINE function, which may or may not be an option depending on the function signature and whether all the criteria are columns in the same table. And you'll probably need to ensure the optimizer knows the return value for this function is skewed (which may be more or less difficult depending on the Oracle version). But you're pretty quickly dealing with performance issues that are at least as complicated as the performance issues you've created for the optimizer by having nested views.

Tile Mask in AS3

Hello,
I have created a pixelated effect using an image and
ActionScript (AS3) located at mask.liquidcomma.com
I want to be create either a movieclip or bitmap based mask
that I can tile across the entire image and/or stage also using
ActionScript.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Justin

You need to have something inside your mask movieclip in order for it to be able to have width and height. Try creating another library movieclip like you did for your circle and use that. The alternative is to draw the area inside the mask movieclip. Also, you do not want/need to use...
var newMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip()
newMC=new circ() // circ is my library movieclip
just use...
var newMC:circ = new circ(); // circ is my library movieclip

Mask in AS3 doubt !!!

Hi All,
am i doing correct or need to modify something for mask a movieclip !!!
var newMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip()
var maskMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip()
maskMC.width=100px
maskMC.height=100px
newMC=new circ() // circ is my library movieclip
newMC.mask=maskMC
addchild(newMC)
...circ moviecip actual width and height is 500x500. i just try to visible only 100x100px after i mask it
Thanks...

Behaviour on mouse over ? Please help

Hi,
I am very new here so please be patient when you read about
my "ignorance". I am making a website for a friend designer and
here is the idea :
- the "main" page contains a picture of a cabinet with 5
drawers (which serve as menu buttons)
-The idea is that when you roll over the drawers with the
mouse, the picture changes into one with that particular drawer
open and the subject written next to it.
-When you roll further the next picture appears, etc.
-When clicked on any of those pictures (the open drawer) the
behaviour should be to go to the dedicated html.page
The problem :
The picture is a full screen size picture (250kb).
I thought that with putting hotspots on the main picture, and
using the hide and show layers behaviour I could make this work but
it does not seem to do anything right. (when moving the mouse over
and off the drawer the picture keeps jumping back and forward)
Can anyone suggest a better way to do this ?
Please feel free to ask for more info if the above does not
make sense to you.
Thanks
Bubbles

What you probably want to do is create invisible buttons that you place over the main image. These will provide the rollover triggering that you want. To make invisible buttons you can create button symbols that only have a shape in their "Hit" frames. That creates a button that you can still see while editing but do not appear in the published file when you run it.
Then you need to have an image that rolling over that button will bring into view. It would be preferable to have the images that appear be away from the buttons so that they don't interfere/block the buttons, so each larger image may have to be placed in a different area.
To control an image that appears, for starters you could just have it invisible and make rolling over the button make it visible. You would need to convert these images to movieclips in order to accomplish that. So let's say you create an image movieclip and place it on the stage and assign it an instance name of "image1" (instance names are assigned in the properties panel). And for that image/movieclip's button you add a button over the main image and give that an instance name of "btn1"
To make them work as planned, in the timeline in the same frame (different layer) where you have btn1 and image1, you would add code as follows...
image1.visible = false;
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, showImg1);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, hideImg1);
function showImage1(evt:MouseEvent):boid {
image1.visible = true;
function hideImage1(evt:MouseEvent):boid {
image1.visible = false;

Creation of Order Object through DAF pipeline

Hi all,
Like how a transient profile object is created through DAF pipeline in the ProfileRequestServlet, i know there is an order object also created like profile, but i want to know which RequestPipeline is creating it????

Hi,
Transient orders are not created by the servlet pipeline. The closest analog in the servlet pipeline is that CommerceProfileRequestServlet for an auto-login only, will load an existing order on the profile, thereby creating an OrderImpl object in the session for that order.
Transient, new orders are created by any reference in your page code to ShoppingCart.current (OrderHolder.getCurrent() call in the code). For a registered user, this will only happen if that user has no current order from a previous visit, but for anonymous users (if anonymous users and orders are not being persisted), this will tend to happen with any new visit (after the previous anonymous session has timed out) as most pages on a commerce site do reference ShoppingCart.current.
Both of these behaviors are perfectly correct and necessary for ATG Commerce to function. No attempt should be made to prevent them. If you believe any of this is causing a problem for your site, you should post a thread about that problem itself, and I'm sure there will be suggestions as to how to avoid it.
Thanks.

Help with AS3, loading multiple files into a movieclip in specific order in scrollbar

Hello! I am in need of some advice. We are trying to build a site with these features:
Our site will be built in Actionscript 3.
1. A navigation menu that, when a button is clicked, will scroll the site quickly to a specific Y position using swfaddress.
2. The entire site is controlled by a flash scroll bar, which will be scrolling a single movieclip.
    2A. The movieclip will load content corresponding to the navigation categories, all which is organized into zipped files (using this to extract the contents of each section, example: about.zip for the about         section of the site)
    2B. The movieclip will load multiple zipped files one by one that correspond to the navigation, in order, making the site appear to be very tall.
**What we are in need of is understanding how to load multiple zipped files into a movie clip, in a specific order, and having them scroll between one another through the navigation. The separate navigation categories can be in movieclips instead of zipped files if that is easier.
Here is a reference of something that works like this: http://swfc-shanghai.com/#/about/

Hello kglad! I have set aside the idea of using zipped files, and am now just using multiple external swfs that I'd like to load into the movieclip in a specific order. Any thoughts?
I'm new to AS3, and I'm attempting to create a scrolling movieclip that will load multiple external files, in order, into that movieclip. I'm using XML as well. At this point, nothing is loading into my movieclip (contentMain) and it's a bit frustrating! Thank you for your help!

Re: Creation of Pipeline Purchase Order or Consignment

Hello all,
Can you all explain me how to create Pipeline Purchase Order or Contract., so that a proof of document is maintained.
How is is done in SAP?
Regards,
Smitha

Hi,
For Pipeline Process,
1. Create Pipeline Material under material type PIPE
2. You need to maintain the Pipeline Info Record in ME11. Here maintain the Prices and Tax Code mandatory
Also in SPRO > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Materials Management > Assign standard purchasing organization to plant
There will not be any PO and GR Process for Pipeline materials. We consider that materials are available via Pipes in our plant and we have tp directly book consumption and then settlement of the same.
If Stock is directly consumed from Pipeline Stock via 201 P or 261 P via transaction MB1A or MIGO then following FI Entry will appear;
(GBB-VBR) Consumption Account - Dr
(KON) Pipeline Liabilities - Cr
Now do Pipeline Settlement in MRKO. Here you can not change the Invoice Value. Here following FI Entry will appear;
Vendor Account - Cr
Pipeline Liabilities - Dr
Prerequisite for MRKO: -
- Maintain condition record for output type KONS in MRM1
Then take printout of the Settlement Document in MR91.
Also refer following link;
