[Xerte] Layering...

[Paul Beckwith, AC&S Ltd]

How do we set it up so all the icons can match the area? (line 2)

 

Also

 

myIcon.animate(myIcon.initX, myIcon.initY,10,'linearTween');  - Is there a
reference for this function call? Can't find it in the flash 8 docs.

Set up a 'catch all' target area - a target that covers the entire stage (or
the entire area it is possible to drop objects into);

 

Set it up so all your icons can macth this area, leave them on drop and
don't end the drag.

 

In the response, use yourInteractionIcon.objectDropped to see which icon was
just dropped, and then animate it back to it's starting position.

 

You might need to store the starting positions as properties of the icons
(myIcon.initX = blah) to animate them back - myIcon.animate(myIcon.initX,
myIcon.initY,10,'linearTween');

 

Alternatively do it all with onPress / onRelease events, where you have much
finer control.

 

HTH,

Thanks Julian, 

 

Also, is there a way to capture an event when a target area icon fails to
move a graphic to the correct position?

 

In other words I have an image that I want to be dragged to a target area
but if it is dragged anywhere else I want it to be put back to its starting
position (using animation preferably)

Use iconID.swapDepths(otherIconID); or iconID.swapDepths(depth) to switch
the layers around.

 

So myEntryFrame.swapDepths(999); will put your entry frame page above all
other pages on the framework (which I think is what you want)

Hi all, 

 

I have a custom .swf interface in my Xerte file which is called from the
"interface" icon. The problem being that it  overlaps everything else in the
piece even though it was added first and is at the top of the tree. Is there
a way of "layering" or sending icons back/forward?

 

Thanks,
