I know how to draw a rectangle and add it to a DisplayObjectContainer,but do you see a simpler method to directly add a border to a DisplayObject? DisplayObject don't seem to have addChild(), so I would have to add it on the parent, which is not perfect in my opinion...
View 3 RepliesI would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

View 1 Repliesi'm creating a visual editor in flex and need to let users export thier projects into Image format. But i have one problem: size of the canvas is fixed and when user add element which is out of these sizes some scroll bars added. And user continue working on the project. but when he want to take snapshot of the canvas he just get the visible part ot the canvas with scrollbars. how to get image of the fullsize canvas?
The only solution i found is to check the positions and sizes of canvas child objects and rezise it to fit them. then take snap and resize back. But it hmmmm... too complicated i think. Is there some "easy methods"?

I have a getter within a class which is used to make my property skin:DisplayObject read-only. This class also has a property body:AvBody which is used to define the x y width height etc of the object, which in turn positions the skin.
What I want to do is disable access to the properties x and y on skin unless accessed from within the internal namespace (where AvBody is also located) Is this possible?
Note: I can't make skin any type other than DisplayObject (I can't even make skin a class that extends DisplayObject because it creates issues with library symbols).
When I add a DisplayObject to a DisplayObjectContainer (e.g. a Sprite to a Sprite) in a function, it seems that the DisplayObject is actually added not immediately, but after finishing the function.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI have DataGroup with custom item renderers, which can partly overlap each other. I have possibility to select these items. And I want selected item to be above others in the datagroup. But since DataGroup sets childIndexes (from left to right) to its children and we cannot change childIndex of items explicitly, selected item is above all items to the left and under all items to the right. So, what is the way to place selected item above others? I thought of using PopUpAnchor, but may be other solutions exist.

I encapsulate my addChild so that I can have an array of all the objects that are on stage for later garbage collection. this is how I do so [code]each gameObject has a property called garbage that is a boolean that is set when ready to be removed.

View 1 RepliesDo you know why this AS3 code works:
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://127.0.0.1/items/boing.png")));
var o:DisplayObject = addChild(loader);
o.x = 100;
o.y = 100;
But if I cast to sprite it doesn't work? Ie the sprite appears on (0, 0) instead of (100, 100):
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://127.0.0.1/items/boing.png"))
var o:Sprite = Sprite(addChild(loader));
o.x = 100;
o.y = 100;
How would I properly have a sprite instead of a DisplayObject? I need some sprite's features (drag'n drop, useHandCursor...), yet I wish I could still use the very quick writing with the loader.
I am working on a project where I would like to use an externally retrieved DisplayObject instance as a flash.media.Video instance. The DisplayObject is a Flash wrapper of a streaming video that provides a set of API calls to interact with the video. But I don't have access to the internal video object itself nor to the netStream/netConnection property of the video. Is it possible at all to somehow use the DisplayObject as a flash.media.Video?
View 3 RepliesI have a very simple player which connects to a shoutcast stream. All it has is a play/stop button, and a volume control, which control a mp3 Playback Component.However, everytime I click anything within the flash movie, a little focus border appears around my flash movie. You know how when you press tab on the keyboard to switch between different elements in a program, such as different buttons, and that little dotted border appears on the button you are on? Well, that happens to me, and I am not sure why or how to get rid of it.

how you display a border around every MovieClip in Flash. I've done it once but I can't seem to find it at all. What happens is that a blue (I think) box is drawn for the bounding box of the movieclip, and it does this for every movieclip automatically, so I don't think it's creating a border manually for every movieclip you add.
In addition this box doesn't rotate with the movieclip, instead it is just a square that completely surrounds the movieclip. If the movieclip rotates, the square just gets bigger or smaller to match.
Ive probably ran into some code like this before. just cant remember where. I have 2 display objects on my stage. One is rotating and the other is positioned 90 degrees from the rotating object. As the object rotates, the other object adjusts its x and y positioning from the rotating object..
If this doesnt make sense, then let me explain what I am trying to do. I have a spaceship in my flash game. this ship has 2 torrets siting on the left and right wing. as the ship turns, the torrets need to remain on the wings.
I'm trying to label an animated pie chart, and I've been having a great deal of trouble getting rotated objects to line up with trigonometrically-positioned objects. So, for example, if I have a pie piece that's middle is angle theta and has been rotated n degrees in a tween, and then I try to position a label with code like this:
label.x = center.x + Math.cos((theta + n)/180 * Math.PI) * radius;
label.y = center.y + Math.sin((theta + n)/180 * Math.PI) * radius;
the label is often not aligned with the center of the pie slice. Since I am also zooming in to the pie chart a great deal, the error becomes significant enough that it occasionally causes the label to miss the pie slice altogether. The error seems relatively unpredictable, and it looks a great deal like a rounding error, but I don't see any obvious rounding going on (the trig functions evaluate to ten or so decimal places, which should be more than enough here).
How can I get these labels to position correctly?
The following is entirely a math question. As we know, PerspectiveProjection delivers perspective transformations in 3D represented by the interdependent values of fieldOfView and focalLength according to the following formula:
focalLength = stageWidth/2 * (cos(fieldOfView/2) / sin(fieldOfView/2)
Q: How to get the visible on-screen size of the DisplayObject (Cube on the above-linked image) to which PerspectiveProjection has been applied? A more thorough description and illustrative code on the issue in ActionScript 3 lacks functionality for visible bounds of DisplayObject.
I'm trying to capture the redraw event for some MovieClip / Sprite objects that are in a Scroll area.Ideally, should be able to capture the event when Flash Player itself redraws the objects as can be seen with "Show Redraw Regions" in FP Debug.I've tried to use the Event.RENDER to capture this, but it even fires when the object is not visible / redrawn.
