It is always on Top. How to bring it to desired level?

[learner_7n 1 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi,

 

The following code works fine but the .SWF stays always on Top of the other Layers. How can I bring it down as per my requirement (Say, I have 10 Layers and I want my this .SWF file to be on Layer 3 from the botton)? Please do help.

 

var mySwf1:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("AnalogClock.swf", {width:225, height:225, container:this, onComplete:completeHandler1});
mySwf1.load();

function completeHandler1(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   TweenLite.to(event.target.content, 0,{alpha:0});
   TweenMax.fromTo(event.target.content, 2, {x:225, y:-500, width:225, height:225, alpha:.5}, {x:225, y:300, width:225, height:225, alpha:1, delay:1, ease:Strong.easeOut});
}

TweenLite.delayedCall(20, mySwf1.unload)

 

Please do help.

Put an empty movie clip on the layer where you want the loaded SWF to appear, and set that as the container for the SWF.

 

//set up the holder
var swfHolder:MovieClip = this.mySWF_mc;

//create a LoaderMax named "mainQueue"
var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({name:"mainQueue"});

//load the SWF into its holder
queue.append( new SWFLoader(theSWF.swf, {name:"swf01"],container:swfHolder}) );

 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply. I have tried the code and getting the following error:

 

1120: Access of undefined property WaterFall.

 

The following is the whole code is:

 

stop();

import com.greensock.*; 
import com.greensock.easing.*; 
import com.greensock.plugins.*; 
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;

import com.greensock.loading.ImageLoader;
import com.greensock.loading.LoaderMax;
import com.greensock.loading.SWFLoader;
import com.greensock.loading.VideoLoader;
import com.greensock.loading.display.ContentDisplay;
import flash.display.MovieClip;


//set up the holder
var swfHolder:MovieClip = this.mySWF_mc;

//create a LoaderMax named "mainQueue"
var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({name:"mainQueue"});

//load the SWF into its holder
queue.append(new SWFLoader(WaterFall.swf, {name:"WaterFall",container:swfHolder}));

 

mySWF_mc is the layer (MovieClip) where I want to put my "WaterFall.swf" animation file.

 

Thanks.

bad:

queue.append(new SWFLoader(WaterFall.swf, {name:"WaterFall",container:swfHolder}));

 

good:

queue.append(new SWFLoader("WaterFall.swf", {name:"WaterFall",container:swfHolder}));

 

url needs to be a String.

Thanks.

 

There is no error. But I can't see the "WaterFall.swf" movie on my stage when I test it.

 

I have mySWF_mc empty movieclip on my stage and WaterFall.swf file in the same folder where my FLV file exists.

Regards.

Hi,

 

I tried it. But getting the following error:

 

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at Waterfall_fla::MainTimeline/init()

at Waterfall_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

 

The code:

 

  //set up the holder
   var swfHolder:MovieClip = this.mySWF_mc;

   //create a LoaderMax named "mainQueue"
   var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({name:"mainQueue"});

   //load the SWF into its holder
queue.append(new SWFLoader("WaterFall.swf", {name:"WaterFall.swf",container:swfHolder}));
queue.load();
