Is there a way to say "only use the coords of the viewable area" when aligning a mc that is masking a really wide object? (I'm looping through XML and duplicating MC's inside a centered mc and under a mask.)
View 7 Repliesok so heres the problem: i have some buttons that are suppose to attach a movie clip on stage after you press it. This works perfectly, but after i mask it, the masking box blocks it so i can't click on anything.
i hope you understood what i'm saying, and i've tried using the 'setmask' code, but that doesn't work either.
The following code blocks create a movie clip 20px high and align it to the bottom of the stage (I add 100px to stageHeight because by default it traces 300 instead of 400). Regardless, both code blocks work when tested in Flash.In HTML however, only the first code block works.The second code block produces a blank HTML page. The second block is so that I can change the footer's height and still have it sit at the bottom of the stage...Considering "footerY" traces 380px, I have no idea how the two code blocks are so different that one HTML page makes the clip visible and the other doesn't.
Code:
var footerHeight:uint = 20;
// var footerY:uint = (stage.stageHeight + 100) - footerHeight;
// trace(footerY);
[code]....
I'm trying to get my clip to stay at the left of the screen on stage resize, but it isn't working. This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
function resizeHandler(e:Event){
circleMenu.x = 0;
}
Obviously that doesn't work, but how do you get the global zero X position. When I resize the window, my clip moves along with it.
I made a movie clip consisting of many other clips. Its 232px wide & 300px high. Actually its an ad. Somebody plz guide me how can make the whole movie a link?
View 1 Replies1) In my program, I am wanting to create a function that would take in the height and width of a loader object, compare them to the stage dimensions, and then scale the object in question before it is added to the display list. However, I have several different types of classes that I want to make use of this functionality. So what would be better, to create a NEW class that would have to be created each time a resize needed to occur, and is imported by all needed classes, or just have a function within each already existing object and copy that function to every class's scope that needs it? Would this be resolved by placing the function in question inside of the default package?
2) When accessing stage properties, are they a global or a relative scope? i.e.[code]would those two statements produce the same value regardless of whether they were in the default package or inside of 1300 classes? Or is the stage scope relative to some degree?
I have a stage bigger than the size of a browser, and I have a camera to navigate around the area.Now when I click on a button, I will have something pop up blocking the whole browser, like a lightbox effect with another box on top of the blocker.The problem now is, when the blocker pops up, its position is not on the TOP LEFT corner of the browser. I've tried stage.align, but it would makes the camera or other object on stage position run.So is there any other way I could get the blocker to position according to the browser, not the stage?[code]
View 1 RepliesI need to put a mask on an action script 2 attached movie clip, is it possible? and if it is, how can I do it?
View 2 RepliesI'm just starting out with AS3 and this is what I'm trying to do:
1. I have an external .swf banner which is 900x250 pixels
2. I want to load this .swf into my main project, using this code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ptp.swf");
myLoader.load(myRequest);
3. The problem is that the .swf banner that is being loaded has content 'outside the stage' so instead of just showing the 900x250 area I see all the off-stage content as well.
How do I 'mask out' the off-stage content of the loaded .swf so that it will be only the 900x250 that I want?
I have a pure code Actionscript 3 project in flash builder 4 and I want to align the stage. For now I have a sprite that I have set the x property to 10, but the sprites are in the middle of the screen. How to set these kind of properties in code? I suppose it's the stage object that needs to be set in some way.
View 1 RepliesIve got my flash movie set to 100% width & height, while the stage is set to no scale. Is it possible for me to align an mc to the bottom regardless their window size?
Just to clarify if firefox is larger than the stage, can i align this mc ( like a footer ) to the bottom of the ussers screen.
I am loading a swf into another swf. The swf I am loading has objects off the stage, and when i load the swf into the other it shows the objects off the stage and screws up my positioning logic. Is there any way to load the swf and hide all the objects that arent on the stage?
View 1 RepliesI have created a working flash file virtual_cube.swf in which I use Stage.align for panning. When virtual_cube is loaded from another swf (whhich I have no control over) the use of Stage uses the loader swf.I know _lockroot is nice for when using _root, is there something similar for Stage? like _lockStage?
View 1 Replieswhen my flash movie in full screen status i want to align stage center. (Vertically and horizontally) from this code i able to align stage horizontally center.
ActionScript Code:

but its not vertically align middle. its only aligned to top (Vertically) what is code/ property i should use to make it vertically middle.?
I want to align objects to the stage, so that after the browser window is resized, the objects/MC's are still in the same places (top middle, right middle and so on...).[code]But this has to be loaded from an external .as file as far as i'm aware.I need the above code to work on frame one of the flash file. How can this be done? i'm sure it's something easy like replacing the "public" parts of the code... Also does the obj part of the code refer to the MC name?

if i have some mc objects on stage and they align lets say to the top side and bottom of the screen then if resized smaller than stageWidth 800 and stageHeight 550 they stay where there are and if the stage is resized bigger then they lock to the top side and bottom. Ive got so far with it and it works ok but if i try and resize the window randomly with the mouse ( like clicking the bottom right hand corner and squiggle the mouse around it acts weirdly.
View 3 RepliesOk, not sure if this is just me, or if it is everyone - and i have looked for information on this a lot but cannot find anything on it.... I do a lot of 'aligning' in actionscript, and to align objects say to the bottom of your page you could do something simple like; my_mc._y = Stage.height - my_mc.height Which worked fine in Flash Mx2k4, but now in Flash 8 objects seem to align directly to the Stage and not the Page so to speak. Was wondering if anyone knew if this functionality had been changed in the new version of flash or if there was a new 'ammended' way of aligning objects on your page regardless of the 'Stage'.
View 9 RepliesI want flash banner to span acros the screen so I put width="100%" and Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; ok. But, this way all its content is centered. I want it to stick on the left, and so I put this code in it:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function () {
_root._x = 0.5 * (750 /* original document width */ - Stage.width);
}
This works. But the way this thing works when I resize browser window is far, very far from smooth. I tried to change it to
Code:
onEnterFrame = function () {
var rx = 0.5 * (750 - Stage.width);
_root._x = rx + 0.1 /* or another number */ * (_root._x - rx);
}
I am wondering if there is some straightforward way to do this, like some hidden FLA setting, or some Stage/_root property, and if there is no, how the hell to script it?

Is it possible to tell flash to read the value of a variable, check for a movie clip with the same name as the variable, and then align a different movie clip to that variable?
e.g.

where 'Goal' is the name of a movie clip

I've been putting off asking this question and have tried to resolve it myself since it would seem to be so basic; however after much frustration , here goes:Can a display object (ie an instance of a class loaded from the library such as a filled rectangle {trying to keep this simple} be positioned on the main stage by using the following syntax:myrecTangle.stage.align = StageAlign.BOTTOM;I have created a fairly simple class to load objects to the stage by class type (recTangle) and name (myrecTangle) and all works fine up to the positioning. The objects are created and named properly and are placed on stage; however, they are all placed on stage at 0,0 stage coordinates. I can postion them anywhere using x. and .y values but when I use syntax similar to that above they are still positioned at 0,0. There are no errors thrown. I have also tried to create a sprite for each, load them into the sprite and addChild the sprite to the stage. They are still positioned on stage at 0,0. Is the stage.align/StageAlign syntax peculiar to absolute main stage positioning or am I allowed to use it also for object positioning.
View 1 Replies[URl]..i wanna know how he did when resizing the browser all the child are still in there alignment?
i think its about no_scale in different child and stage.
How do you set stage.align to center (vertical and horizontal)? StageAlign only defines corners and edges, but I know that centered is possible because that's the default behavior?
