How do I find say the left edge of a movie clip?
View 2 RepliesI have been starting to code in ActionScript, and tried to do this program. It draws a shape into the stage, and you can move it using the arrow keys. I added a "edge sticking" feature that sticks half of the shape to the edge.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI just started coding classes and I am having some pretty good success thus far coding individual objects. BUT I realized that I don't know how to find coordinates of another object that is on the stage!Say I am coding in the class "Zombieguy".With the other movieclips linkage "Armyguy" I try toracetrace(Armyguy.y);ORtrace(Armyguy.Y);Both come up with "access of possibly undefined property y through reference with static type Class".I'm sure this is probably pretty simple, but can someone inform me of how to do this small step that is holding me back?
View 12 RepliesI have a function dragging movieClips on the stage which pass over other movieClips which I'd like to identify somehow.
Is there a "built-in" way to do this in AS3?
With the select tool, I placed my mouse over the edge & it changed to the little curve sign, but when I dragged it, it just moved the rectangle. Same thing when using the transform tool.
View 3 RepliesUsing Adobe Flash CS3 on a sometimes dual monitor setup. After attaching back to my docking station, and starting up Flash CS3, the window is off the edge of the right hand monitor somewhere, and I am not sure where. The mouse cursor makes it look like the window is somewhere off the lower right hand corner of the screen somewhere, but even after holding in the left and up arrows for a long time, there is no motion, and the window never appears. I can maximize the program back to my primary monitor, but this is hardly an ideal solution.
I have found the following registry entry, but am unsure if it applies to what I'm having problems with or what the format of the entry is: HKEY_CURRENT_USERAdobeFlash 9SettingsWindow
XFL is the new uncompressed ADOBE FLASH (CS5) source file, it consists from XML definitions, most of them are clear but unfortunately, the important one are strange. Looking to various existing sources, I can see shape's EDGE definitions like:

It seems like even if you set an Image object's smooth property to false, it doesn't make the Bitmap look jaggy on non-90-degree angles (jaggy = aliased, opposite of a smooth edges = anti-aliased).Is there any way to achieve this? Or do I have to construct the rotation-spritesheet by hand and interpret the "angles to sprite index" calculations myself?
View 1 RepliesI want to accomplish the same thing with code that Flash's Align - Align Bottom Edge button does within the IDE. I have a series of move clips of different heights which are all added to the stage dynamically via XML. When they are all added, I want to then align them - does flash provide a method for doing this with code? Or is the only way to do it to detect their heights and adjust them by the height difference?

View 4 Repliescurrently i am removing objects when they reach the edge of the screen with
[Code].....
i understand this does not delete the object? without removing event listeners before removing the object the error log fills up, i believe its due to the stage isnt there after its removed. this makes me think that removechild does not delete the object? i will be creating and deleting many objects during runtime, and i dont want to slow down or use too much memory, how to properly free up the object
I made a movie in Flash CS3. The exported SWF shows that the right hand side of some of my letterforms (made from a non-converted font) are clipped off. Switching fonts produces similar results. Is there some glitch in the program that I am no aware of?
View 9 RepliesI am working on a simple flash project. In Scene 1 I have a large image above and a long scrolling image below which is a movieclip called image_slider. The Scrolling is set with actionscript 3.0 mouse over event listener. When the user moves the mouse right image_slider moves left, when mouse is left it moves right. It works very nicely. Now I wanted different parts of image_slider to change the large image above when they are clicked.
So I decided to do these actions as part of the image_slider movieclip. So I have added transparent buttons to the image_slider movie clip and added event listeners for them and functions to gotoandstop at different frames in Scene1. This works well.
My problem is that now the image_slider no longer moves freely. It does move, but as you can see it if your mouse stops moving the scrolling will stop at the next button. You have to move the mouse again to make it keep scrolling. I don't know why it has decided to do this. how to stop it from stopping at each button edge?

I've got a textfield creater that creates a nice textfield when I hover over a moveable button. However, when I click and drag that button around the flash movie, the text field disapears off the edge of the screen if I get to close to the right side. Can I adjust the width of the textfield as the mouse is moving closer to the edge?
View 0 RepliesI have a text box that is about 300 pixels wide and can't be any wider. I also have a lot of text, so wordWrap and multiline are set to true. Works great! Only problem is that the text wrapping creates a lot of unused white space in the right margin of the box. This white space takes up a lot of room and looks kind of rough.
Is it possible to have Flash automatically hyphenate the text in the box to avoid the big white spaces along the right edge of the box?
PHP Code:
public class Fruit extends MovieClip {
//something
}
var apple:Fruit = new Fruit ();

Is there a way to find the class of apple without using (apple is Fruit)? Doing it that way takes an array and having to check it with each index of that array to see if it matches.
I am creating a flash file to display products.
Product details and images are stored in XML File.
What i am trying to create is something similar to banner on [URL]
The addition to this is that products will be scrolling right to left automatically if there is no interaction from user, and product at the center will remain highlighted.
I have created a long strip of Products cover with a mask, the long strip keeps moving to give a scrolling effect.

I have a row of dynamiclly loaded pictures that load into a movieclip and then have arrows that scroll the photos left and right using an interval and _x +=10. The scroll works great. Only problem is, it just goes on and on and on if you keep pressing the arrow. Is there any way to tell it where the left and right side are and not to let either side go past a certain point.

View 3 RepliesHow can we find out a moving movie clip's angle. I'm trying to make a shooting game in as3, I need to know the angle of the movieclip(bullet) when it gets hits on the wall. i.e., I have a movieclip named "ball", and which is moving with some speed and the coordinates are initially created by the gun's positions.
Code:
var angle:Number = gun.rotation - 1;
var bubbleX:Number = gun.x-130* Math.cos(angle * Math.PI / 180);
var bubbleY:Number = gun.y-130 * Math.sin(angle * Math.PI / 180);
var ball:MovingBall = new MovingBall();
ball.x = bubbleX;
I need to know, what is the angle of "ball" after it hitting the boundary areas..

A seperate movieclip named page4 shows in the library to have 6 uses. On the clip are two text boxes both static and one has a movieclip button overlayed. Selecting any of the three changes the propery panel for allowing editing. However. Even though I can see the reference point (the cross) of the movieclip page4, I can find no way to get flash (CS5) to show me the properties to allow giving it an instance.
orgive me if there is an extremely simple answer to this question. I am currently updating a series of .fla files that someone else created. Within one of the symbols is the following code: this.insertMovieClip("symbolName","objectReferenceName",5);
I understand what the code is doing, or rather what it would do normally. It would find a symbol named symbolName in the library, and create an instance of it named objectReferenceName inside this MovieClip.The problem is that I have searched the library, and I can't find anything named symbolName. It doesn't exist.
I have a mc called the_ring which contains a little circle that spins around a figure. how can i find the location of this circle?
i could easily find the location of the movieclip by the_ring.x , but thats not what i was after, im after the location of the object inside of it.
I am loading an XML file into several textboxes. Each group of textboxes is contained in a movieclip. There is a textbox in each group that varies in height and I want to put each movieclip underneath each other. So I need to get the height of the previous mc in my for loop so I can set the y position of the next mc. I am not quite sure how this is done, but here is my as3:

I tried this one [URL] and it works. All I need to do now is to put it NOT in the timeline but inside a movieclip.
It works well when the button is on the timeline but when it's inside a movieclip, the packages can't even find it.
Any idea how the packages can find the button that is inside a movieclip?
Yes. I know the import and include commands. What I want to know is the directory (or Parent-Child) of AS3 Packages.
All my custom classes that extend MovieClip simply trace as "MovieClip" when using stage.getChildIndex(i); I'm trying to search the stage to see what objects have been placed and then add them to the correct array. E.g. if I place 5 "Enemies" on the screen, I want to then add them to an array by searching the stage for the "Enemies" class, without naming each one and adding it manually in the code.
Edit:
Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < stage.numChildren-1; i++)
{
trace(getQualifiedClassName(stage.getChildAt(i)));
