Is it possible to arrange (z) order of objects in Flash with ActionScript 3? e.g. I have 3 symbol instances on a given layer, and I want to perform the equivalent of 'Bring to Front', 'Bring Forward', and/or target a certain z position. You can change the z-index (stacking order) of a movie clip within a same layer using action script like this. parent.setChildIndex(childObject, i) Change childObject to the name of the movie clip you want to change the z-index, change i to an integer (the desired z-index value). If you want to make this happen on a mouse event, put above code inside a function

I installed Dreamweaver and when I was downloading the dependent files from my website, it asked me if I always wanted to do this. I said yes, and now, a couple weeks later, I don't want that anymore because it takes 30 seconds to download one little PHP file due to the dependent files. I cannot find anywhere in the settings where I would be able to disable this again. Any ideas? Edit (Dreamweaver on Mac) -> Preferences -> Site category, check the prompt on GET/PUT checkboxes. The next time you GET/PUT file a dialog will display asking you how you want to handle dependent files. There's a do

I'm facing a dilemma: I have a solid ASP.NET development experience in C# and looking to start mobile development. I have done research and know that there are some hacks for getting a development environment for iOS on windows, and recently after Apple lifted ban on 3rd party dev apps, Adobe Flash CS5 can be used to package iOS apps. I do have some prior experience with Flash and AS2. So my question is: should i use Flash CS5 for iOS and MonoDroid for Android or should i just get Mac and learn Objective C for iOS and learn Java for Android? What would be the most practical solution? Thank you

Could anyone advise the best way to trigger a functiont when a movieclip animation finishes? I figure an eventlistener could handle this, but not sure the best way to go about it. Thanks Paul There are a few ways to go about this: Simply call the function from the last frame of your animation. Dispatch an event on the last frame of your function and listen for it elsewhere. The long but effective / neat / recommended way. In reference to point 3, I would create a base class for your object. This way you can apply the same logic to multiple elements being animated. Something like this: package

XFL is the new uncompressed ADOBE FLASH (CS5) source file, it consists from XML definitions, most of them are clear but unfortunately, the important one are strange. Looking to various existing sources, I can see shape's EDGE definitions like: <Edge strokeStyle="1" edges="!0 0S4|180 0"/> <Edge strokeStyle="1" edges="!2720 2720S6|0 2720!0 2720|0 0!0 0/2720 2720"/> <Edge fillStyle1="1" edges="!3532 1539.5S2[#BD9.4D #577.3C 2952.5 1756.5!2952.5 1756.5[#AF6.DA #4C6.1D 3584 1119!3584 1119|3532 1539.5"/> Doing some tests I can say, that: ! == move to position | == draw line from the position to the

I would like to develop an augmented reality application on a HTC Nexus One mobile phone for android using Flash Professional CS5 and Adobe AIR 2.5. I found a couple of online sources showing how to develop AR application using webcam and Flash and i have found it very useful to follow and understand the basics of AR. For example: Augmented Reality using webcam and Flash http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/augmented_reality.html Introduction to Augmented Reality http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=105 I have also watched other videos regarding AIR for Android Applications from
