I'm developing a flash product designer... one of it's features is that customers can add their own text to product and they can move it, resize it, rotate it... but I have one problem - text is stored in dynamic TextField with embed fonts, it's created dynamically from Actionscript, but it's registration point is set to upper left corner, is there any way to transform it around center? I mean resizing and rotating around center.

View 1 RepliesI have text field on the stage. How will I take it to the center of the stage? It's registration point is at the center that is why its going little away from the center.
Code:
a_txt._x=Stage.width/2;
when I create a textfield and use the centering property in the following way, I position it at x=0... but the middle of the text isn't at zero; seemingly the left border of a large... area of some sort is at x=0.

I'm trying to make a text effect where on every frame the textfield increases in size and decreases in opacity. I'm using the scaleX and scaleY properties of my dynamic textfield to enlarge, but it's doing so keeping the left registration point fixed. I want to make it scale up radially outward, or with the center point fixed.

View 1 RepliesAs the title says, I'm trying to figure out how to center and image to a movie clip. I am familiar with centering images to the stage.
imageLoader.x = (stage.stageWidth - Number(rawW)) /2;
imageLoader.y = (stage.stageHeight - Number(rawH)) /2;
But I do not know the correct actionscript phrases to implement this same concept into my movie clip known as "gallery_mc".
Now I am trying to center an image/movieClip. Below is how I get everything going
Code:
var k = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("stage", 50);
k._x = 400;
k._y = 300;
var p = k.createEmptyMovieClip("bigImage", 0);

a movieClip that contains a polygon and some circles at the angles of the polygon. I want to use the circles as rotation handles.Now the code below works but it terribly, terribly slow.I've seen a couple of other examples of rotation using the mouse position, but I want the polygon to rotate via the handle; I think that means the angle of rotation needs to be updated each time the mouse moves.Is there a cleaner/more efficient way to do this?Also, this works only for one direction right now no matter the x/y direction you move the mouse.
public function mouseDownRotate(event:MouseEvent):void {
// get the global x and y of the dragged piece (offset so it looks like it's rotating around the polygon's center

I got a video background where I have a button (which is a movie clip) inside the button I need to have a movieclip to be centered on the stage. My stage is dynamic and therefore changes according to the browser of the user.
I tried the following:
notice.x=stage.stageWidth/2
notice.y=stage.stageHeight/2
but it places it almost out of the stage...
Can I set the registration point of a MovieClip (or other Display Object) to its center upon creation in AS3? the following

I am using Action Script 3.0 to animate an instance (MovieClip class) to follow the mouse positron the thing is, the left corner of the instance follows the mouse courser. Now there is a cross on the to left corner and my guess would be that the mouse follows that cross, but i can not change the position of the cross within the instance/ original object. Does anyone know how to make the center of that instance follow the mouse cursor?

I have created this Flash site:

Under "Gallery", each picture, is a movieclip, which loads a picture from my server.
But the pictures aligns to the top left corner of the MovieClip. How do i make them align to the center of the movieclip?
My code is as follows:
Code:

I'm working on a project where I have to load multiple movie clips and center them on the stage.
PHP Code:
loaded_clip._x = Stage._width/2;loaded_clip._y = Stage._height/2;
Unfortunately, in this case that doesn't cut it. The move clips I'm loading all have different registration points, and they end up looking anything but centered. Is there a way to center them based on some other factor other than the registration point, so that they look centered?
