Hi All
I am loading multiple instances of UI loader containing external SWFs on my stage. When user double clicks on the video thumbnail, an instance of UIloader will be placed on the main stage.The user can place as many UIloader instances on the main stage. My aim is that if user puts any UIloader on top of already existed UIloader, the existed loader will be replaced with the placed loader. I am successful in implementing that by using hitTestObject method for that. I am planning to provide enough feedback to the user for this UIloader replacement process, so i was thinking to change the border of the UIloader as soon as the dragged UIloader hits the already existed UIloader.
** Does anyone know how would I animate UIloader to give enough feedback to the user that it is being replaced**. Creating an invisible movie and moving it wherever UIloader goes doesn’t sound much efficient.
Please help me out in figuring out this problem. Also if anyone has better idea to give enough feedback to user, that will also be welcome. Just to be little clear i have provided little pseudo-code(below) of what i am doing here.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Anuj
/Abstract Pseudo code for my problem**/
myUILoader.startDrag();
//Putting video on top of already existed videos
var trackChild:Number=container.getChildIndex(myUILoader);
var childContainer:DisplayObject= container.getChildAt(trackChild);
for( var z:Number=0;z<=container.numChildren-1;z++)
{
var restChild:DisplayObject=container.getChildAt(z);
if(childContainer!=restChild)
{
if((childContainer.hitTestObject(restChild))==true)
{
//Show Animation during replacement
//how would i give feedback here
container.removeChild(restChild);
}
