So basically I have a class which adds items and needs a drag and drop. I change the x value of the entire contianer class simply by this.x = something
By drag and drop all the items slide across the screen. When I trace the x value of the container class it has changed, but the x value of the items stayed the same (although their x value on the screen definitely changed).
I have code like the following:
<s:VGroup gap="10" id="group" height="100%">
<s:Label text="This is page 2" />
<s:Button content="Resize Canvas" click="resize(event);"/>
<mx:Canvas id="photoCanvas" color="#567898" backgroundColor="#125567">
</mx:Canvas>
</s:VGroup>
I don't understand why the following does not work:
Pushing the Button resizes the photoCanvas's height (gets taller or smaller). Since the photoCanvas control is a child element of the VGroup shouldn't the container update itself to the new height? The Vgroup has ALWAYS the same height, no matter what the (total) height of the children is! I would like the VGroup to adjust itself and get a height value equal to the sum of its children heights. Is this not possible??
I have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .
I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.
I have created a custom component - MyImage - that has two children including a Bitmap as well as a Sprite.My display object hierarchy is as follows -

i have 3 mc's on stage and several buttons to change the color of a mc. can i apply the color change to one of the 3 mc's by selecting it?
example: i click on the triangle to select an then go to the color buttons and click to change the color, but if i select the square and then click on the color button it will change the square color....
I have Flash CS5 and cannot get the pencil or in k tool to change color it stays at the layer color only. When I make a shape and pick paint bucket tool it will not add the color I am choosing.
View 1 RepliesI'm building an Xml-driven application. I create new states in a separate actionscript-class.These states all contain a DataGrid. I can switch the states in the Main.mxml.
But now I would like to access certain children of the DataGrid. In this case I would like to toggle the visibility of GridItems, from a Button in the Main.mxml.
How do I have access and apply this to the already created states ? I tried to create RemoveChilds and override/push it to the state.All I archieved was to remove an entire GridRow at the very last state, but it should be just one GridItem at every state.

I am loading in some images and adding them to a movie using: mc.addChild(imageLoader); once all the images have been loaded in , i want to alternate the order of the children, so a different child is in the front and in view. i have been reading up a little on it and it seems the example i find are changing the order of different mc's . whereas i have 1 mc and im trying to change the order of its children.
View 1 RepliesI want to detach a movieclip and attach it elsewhere, but it doesn't seem possible in AS2.
I'm looking for an AS2 equivalent of Cocoa's addSubview/removeFromSuperview.
Is there alternatives routes to go, such as duplicating a movie with a new parent.. is that possible?
I'm trying to do a cross-fade effect for my gallery. To do that, I'm using two movieclips, one that holds the image currently displayed, and another one that holds the image that should be displayed next. When the coming image is loaded, the cross-fade effect should happen, the container that holds the image that was on stage should be cleared out, then the image in the other container should be displaced to the former container. I'm almost there now, but I got stuck at the last part. Here's my code so far[code]...
View 2 RepliesIn flash if I change scale of parent movieclip, scale of all child inside the parent was changed too. Now I look for the best way to fix child scale while parent scale is changing. I mean the way with minimum listener and cpu usage. In my project I have a map (as parent) and many icons on map (as childs). map has zoom in and zoom out button and pan while dragging.

got a bit of a tricky one here [well, it could be an easy one, but I have no idea where to start on this one]
Lets say I have two objects on a stage, one named mcA and mcB, within mcA I have another object [called subA] which contains a few small objects, a AS class and some other stuff like components etc...
Is there a way for me to replicate that exact object [subA] inside mcB without loosing any data and such? is this posible?
So basically I want to make a copyClip function, that has the ability to copy/move objects from one object/clip to another...
How can I change what movie clip an object is contained in after it has been added to the stage? I want a movie clip to start out in the main stage but them move into another movie clip so that when I move the containing movie clip the sub clip moves as well.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project and I need to be able to change the movieclips parent without moving the child, so I can tween it into position myself.
View 7 RepliesI've been trying to use the object.watch() method. I've never used this before, so I'm assuming I'm pretty far off base here. What I have is a parent movie (_root.) that has a bunch of variables. As the user progresses through the movie/project the variables change based on the user's actions. Within this parent movie there is another movie embedded. In this movie, things change based on the variable changes of the parent movie. So, for instance, say the user gets through frame #20 and hits the "next" button in the parent movie, this triggers a variable change in the parent movie, which then causes the embedded movie to change its color from blue to red (or whatever, action doesn't matter)

in Document Class action script file I have the following variable
Code: Select allvar ballPointRight = new BallPointRight(ball,xDir,padScreen);
And then in BallPointRight action script file which is linked with BallPointRight movie clip I have the following code
Code: Select allpackage {
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]...
So the line xDir = -1; doesn't change variable located in Document Class action script file even if if sentence is true... Is it maybe because it's number?
I made a new symbol. The symbol name is button. And it's text is "Start Generator" - So this code:[code]Doesn't seem to change the text of the button to "You clicked it"
View 4 RepliesI have a symbol created out of a bitmap image. When I converted the "bitmap" to a "movieclip" object, I selected the center registration point in the dialog box. After the symbol is created an placed on the stage, I can seen the registration point at the center of the movieclip. Nevertheless, if I check the coordinates of the movieclip, it refers to the top left corner instead of the registration point. The most strange thing is that if I try to check the coordinates of the movieclip using Actionscript - something like trace("x: " + mc._x + "y: " + mc._y); - it do refers to the center point of the movieclip. So how can I have the coordinates during design time the same as during runtime? Why do I always have to refer to the top left corner and not to the ACTUAL registration point?

Is there a way to apply a renderer to a grid in a way so that it doesn't modify the values in the data provider? I have a datagrid and on one of its columns I have a customer renderer which overrides the set data function and converts the number value in the dataprovider to a word. My problem is that when I sort the grid by that column it sorts by the new value, whereas I want it to sort by the old value that was originally in the dataprovider. Here is my renderer:

I have a movieclip Planet which consists out of a backround (BG) and a mask (PMask). The mask will be changed during gameplay (I add shapes, then draw this to a bitmap and replace the shapes with the bitmap).But for some reason the mask doesnt change along with the mask movieclip(as if it makes a copie of PMask and uses that as the mask instead, so that every change to PMask isnt applied to the mask of BG)This is basically my Planet.as file (I removed the stuff that isn't related):

I don't think I understand enough about arrays or for in loops to understand why this isn't working... it traces the array, but not statesArray[states], and it doesn't change the alpha of anything.
