i'm trying to create AS3 match card to some square game. i created class for cards, and i'v wanted to capture the card original position so in case of dragging to the wrong place, it will return to it's original place.
from some reason it always returns to the 0,0 coordinates. why?
Say I have a movieclip called theScreen a 0,0. It is 800 wide, 700 hightheScreen contains a movieclip called theStatusArea at 600,0. It is 200 wide by 700 hightheStausArea contains a movieClip called pieces at 10, 410. It is 180 wide by 180 highpieces contains a number of movieclips (triangle, square, etc.),all of these sub movieclips are more narrow than the pieces container and are all set added to the pieces container at 0,0
var pt:Point = new Point(triangle.x, triangle.y)
pt= triangle.localToGlobal(pt);
trace(pt); // should be 610, 410 at least at the start.

I have 2 balls, which i connect with a drawn line using the following code.

This code works great except the line I draw has the wrong x coordinates....The line is drawn to the correst y value but the X is at least 300px off? Does it have to do with my anchor point or reg point?
I have a MovieClip inside a stage that is mostly(not accurately) centered to the middle of the stage.
When I try to save the MovieClip into a bitmap in order to upload it to facebook, I either get a cropped image or a white image(blank). Here is the code for generating the bitmap:
var source:BitmapData = new BitmapData(board.width, board.height);
source.draw(board);
var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(source);
The result I am getting is the yellow area in the following image:

I got this frame i created and gave it a linkage name of : "myframe"
myframe has a picloader mc and a picmask mc..
I loop through attaching "myframe" at proper depths 12 times and once it is attached, i use loadmovie or loadclip to attach an image to myframe.picloader and enforce the mask onthe pic.
once I load the image, i do some tweening effects in AS but the width and height is no longer correct.
myframe is supposed to be 130 x 100 but now im getting 621 by 400.2.
I just want each instance of the movie clip from my collect_array to show up in a different x & y position.
(the collect_array is defined as an array elsewhere). It displays the first item in the array once (or it's displaying all the items on top of each other).
PHP Code:
if (collect_array.length > 0) {
var xplace = 50;
var yplace = 50;

If I attach a movieClip this way:

Basically its an onPress event handler on a movie clip that attaches another movie to it when pressed.The problem is, I only want the movie clip to be attached once in the designated x,y coordinates, no matter how many times the main object is pressed. I'm essentially trying to write my own FreeTransform script, that allows users to resize the object.

I have a layer called SCRIPT and on the first frame i put an actionscript that attach a movieclip (attachMovie). After i attach that movie clip i set the _x and _y coordinates to a specific place. This movie clip has a combo box inside.On another layer i have a button, when you click on this button i attach a movie clip (attatchMovie), this is the same movieclip i attached before on the first frame of SCRIPT layer.Here is the problem, when you click on the button for second time the movieclip attached go to coordinates 0,0.but, if a open the movieclip and delete the combobox everything works fine.Im including a very simple fla file to illstrate the problem, feel free to download it to see what im talking about.
View 2 RepliesI need a way to have an attached mc stay aligned with another mc that rotates (for AS 2.0). More specifically, I have a spaceship with several turrets that shoot at intervals, the problem comes when the spaceship rotates; how do I get the bullets (or whatever you want to call them) to appear at the correct x and y values when the spaceship rotates when the ship itself is asymetrical and has a registration point at its tip?

I figured out how I can create a roll over effect on one button so it fades in & out depending on if you are on it or not. I'm trying to create the same effect for my other 13 or so buttons & I can't seem to get it. I keep getting errors any way I try to code it. This is the code I have **trying to add the code for my first 2 thumbs"

If you have two textareas, one has a rotation value besides 0 and the other has no rotation value or a value of 0 and you 'tab' focus from the one w/rotation to the one w/out. The border around the textArea w/out rotation will be rotated. If you set the rotation value of the non-rotated text field to a non-zero number, even 0.01, it fixes the problem, this causes tons of other problems in text rendering though so its not a solution.
I found setting the focusThickness style to 0 removes the border, which is a good solution but not a great one, anybody got a better one? Here is some sample code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">

I have 12 clips on the stage. I want to get each one of their X and Y coordinates when they appear on stage. This will give a value to their starting position.I will then use that starting position to create a reset function for them to obey after I rollout of each individual cliploop for name of 12 clips (these are all named mc1, mc2, etc)thenget the starting x and y coordinates for the clipsassign variable to the values (mc1x, mc1y, etc

View 1 RepliesMy flash file creates multiple slideshow instances. These slideshow's are each controlled by some buttons and AS code that reside within the attached container clip. The code for buttons and slideshow nav is as follows (this resides on first frame of attached movie, not on _root):

The problem is that instead of just controlling the slideshow for which you are viewing, the keys control all other slideshows as well at the same time. Where the buttons, when you click them, control only the slideshow that they are contained in. I've tried writing an absolute path to the specific slideshow movie in question like:

I am thying to create a movieClip class that has a button attached at the right corner, and then load multiple instances at the stage. My problem is, that although one MovieClip is loaded correctly, all the rest have no button attached! How is that possible? what am i doing wrong???Also i would like to note, that besides the button i am attaching one more movieclip with and image (from a loader)Let me show you what I mean:

Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.
I have created a flex chart with multiple Y axis. I want that it shows origin for one of the data series. It shows the line, but on the wrong plase.
Maybe it is because I didn't tell to GridLines which axis use as a source? But, I am not sure if it is possible to do...
how to show horizontal origin on a chart with multiple axis.

i am loading some thumbnails from an xml file into a movieclip using attachMovie() - each thumbnail loaded is in it's own MC inside the 'container' MC. everything works great but i need to be able to scroll the thumbnails b/c the number of thumbnails can change but the space they have to fit into cannot. make sense? if attach them to a scrollpane or a textarea instead of a MC it only shows the last thumnail loaded or iterated in the for loop.

How do you make a variable have multiple answers attached to it?

I tried this but it only used page2_mc and an array didn't work.
What I am trying to do here is control a movie clip with the mouse by setting the coordinates of one equal to those of the other. This is the code I have for that movie clip:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
I get no errors whatsoever from this, but when I test it, I see the movie clip that I'm trying to control move with the general direction of my mouse movements, but completely offset from the mouse. Additionally, the movie clip flashes between four different positions constantly, and the output window traces the following four sets of coordinates even when I keep the mouse in one place:
Mouse Coordinates: 160,-110
Mouse Coordinates: 229,112
Mouse Coordinates: 237,368
Mouse Coordinates: 168,146
I'd like to know why there would be several sets of coordinates even when the mouse is stationary, and what I can do to fix this issue..

I want to create a button that toggles but has a roll over, roll out and click animation. Anyone willing to point me in the direction I need to be so that I can achieve this. I can create the roll over and roll out animation for the buttons but then how could I toggle between the two buttons. Ultimately this is for a start and stop situation. I want when I roll over the button for it to have a transition then click and it toggles to the alternate button with animation. I have been tackling this now for a week and with no success. So far I have found ways to toggle but loose the animation or vice verse.
View 4 Repliesi've been trying to code a small variation into the normal roll over roll out animations... i want the animation to stay on the last frame once i click the button. but when i put the code in it dosent even bother playing the rollover/out animations it just goes to the end frame...
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();

So I have a menu that fades in on a movie clip rollover. It fades out when the mouse rolls out over a 'hit area' mc. All is working fine except when you move fast off the hit area. Sometimes the fade in menu remains up when the mouse should have traveled over the hit area and told it to fade out... any reccomendations to remedy this?
