ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Change Size Of Movie Clip
Jan 26, 2009
I want to have my character walk around in a faux 3-d space using the arrow keys on the keyboard. When the character walks away it becomes smaller and when it walks closer it becomes larger. I have put together a script that pretty much does what I want - except the ratio of the height and width of the MovieClip do not stay the same. It becomes fatter as it walks away and skinner as it comes closer. Here is my main script:
[Code]...
I think the problem is with the operator here: ratio = this._height/this._width; The slash between "height" and "this" seems to be what is giving me trouble. Maybe I should be writing some other script entirely? I am not very good at script writing.
But when I activate the last line in function(animMC.height = 200;) and publish, I don't see movie clip anymore. As a movie clip I thought I have full control as a movie clip should be, but is it still more limited control as swf or loader?
I have seen this on some site, so there must be a way of doing this. How do you dynamically change a flash movies dimension during runtime? For example, the forum nugget is working on I noticed that the height of the flash forum dynamically grows as the thread getslonger...because I can see my browser scroll bars appear. How can this be achieved?? his seems mind buggling to me, because you have to set a flash movies stage dimensions before publishing and the html has the flash dimesions too, so I don't get how this is being done
i've made a flash site that will be 100% in the broswer so it will be scretched and scaled this is not problem for me cause this movie is mostly the backround and some buttons the buttons will load all the other mcs ,like photos ,videos etc but i want the movie clips to load at fixed size and stay like this even if the user resize his broswer the main movie will scale BUT the movie clips will stay at fixed size.[code]
I have an MC which is sized as follows:[code]This is fine until the stage size is altered....as the MC stays the same size unless the page is reloaded.How can I set the size of the MC so it resizes as the stage size is altered?
i wanna change color of mc. I have buttom Test and Parametri. In Test is movie testing.swf in Parametri you can change color of movie clips. in file starttesting is make like this:
in layer1 is mcPlayer. In this mcPlayer are three layers, action, container and buttoms. in action layer is this code:
How can I change color of mcOksid(testing.fla), but color will be change when i push a upload buttom? WHen i push reset buttom, the color will come back to default.
Second problem, in testing.fla in layer OKSID, i have mcOksid and mcOksid2. Know if i change color of mcOksid to blue, mcOksid2 has to be blue too.
Is there any way to prevent a movie clip from increasing width and height when its children go outside its initial bounds? The problem I'm having is that I'm adding moving objects to a movie clip which often go outside its bounds, and I'm also trying to apply a displacement map filter. However, since the bounds are constantly changing, choosing the correct mapPoint is giving me grief.
I've written a class that iterates through all the frames of a movie clip and draws each one to a different bitmap. When I'm done, I should be able to iterate through the bitmaps and play them like a flipbook animation.If I draw all the clips to the same size bitmapdata, then everything looks great. But this is wasteful because now a lot of the bitmapdata's are bigger than they need to be (takes up more memory), and also causes problems because the hit tests don't look right.
So next I try to crop all the bitmapdata to be the smallest possible sizes. However, when I do this, there are subtle differences in the way the images look - the edges might look slightly darker in one frame than in another. When I line up all the images and play them back to back, it no longer looks the same way it originally did.I have no idea why the images look different, and have no idea how to work around this problem, I have tried many different approaches. I have tried using BitmapData.draw(), BitmapData:copyPixels(), and manually using BitmapData:SetPixel(), and all end up with the same result
When I try to rotate a movie clip along the x-axis on the default stage size (I'm using a basic rectangle right now), the rotation appears just as I expect it to. It "rolls over" with the perspective even on both sides of the rectangle.
When I try to duplicate this in a movie with different dimensions (320x480) and apply the 3D Rotation Tool, the rectangle skews to the left for some reason. (See attached .fla files)
I've tried changing the registration points on the movie clips, I've tried making new files with the "Adjust 3D Perspective Angle to preserve current stage projection" box checked both on and off, and I've tried repositioning the actual Rotation Tool, but I can't figure out what's wrong. Could it have something to do with the stage resizing?!
I have a looping movie clip and want it to speed up when the mouse rolls over one of the ends. Is there and action script that will do this? Or a different way to get it done? I faked it by making two movies with different number of frames but when you load that movie it starts over and it looks stupid. I have the scrolling animation on the site but want to put that effect on it. Click the first box after the intro to see the animation at the bottom(line of trucks) http:[url].....
i want to change frame rate of movie clip during run time on button click.....i have 3 movie clips...and i want to control the frame rate on button click...am using attachMovies to play the movieclips.
I have a movie clip to display a clock and a datagrid for showing my schedule. I want my flash to alarm with sound when the time from the clock match one time on the schedule. Here is my actionscript:
Code: clock_mc.onEnterFrame = function() { if (_root.timer[i]==_root.clock_mc.clock_txt.text.substr(0,5)) { alertSound = new Sound(alertSoundMc);
[Code]....
As you can see, I use onEnterFrame to listen and check matching between time on clock and schedule but it will check all the time and when it alarmed it produced sound all the time while the time is matched. I would like my flash to alarm only one or few times.
hw can i find the color number? newColorTransform.color = 34171200; previously i use in AS2 like 0xff0000 for red i will find it from the color palete..
I have movie clips which I made act as buttons, (Previous, Pause/Play, Next).[code]...
The button is a non-filled circle with the proper symbol in the center.
I am going to add themes to my application, where people can choose a pre-selected theme, which will load all info through a xml file (background-image, button colors, scrubber colors, etc).
How would I change the colors of the buttons in my movie clip? They are pre drawn images, that are stored in my library.
i'm trying to replace text in a dynamic text field within a movie clip, and it seems as if it's treating it like static text. Is there a way around this?
theBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustText1);theBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, adjustText2);function adjustText1(e:MouseEvent):void{ textField1.text = "Foo"; // this works}function
I am creating a green circle with a white arrow inside it and want arrow to change from white to green and the circle to change from green to white when user mouses over it.My function is the following:
ActionScript Code: private function DrawSliderPrevBtn():void { SliderPrevBtnMc.graphics.clear();[code].....
I am creating a flash presentation for school. I am unable to solve this problem, that keeps on pestering me.The problem is:I am trying to create a touch screen calibration movie clip. The only problem i keep running into is, when i click the calibration touch screen cross, what is the script that allows the change in position of the cross after it has been clicked on?Example:The original cross is orientated on the top left of the screen, after it has been clicked i need it to move to the top right of the screen, then clicked again - bottom right, and again bottom left and finally clicked again to be displayed in the centre
-movieheight is a variable in the movie which has been loaded into level1. -project is a movie clip (I made sure I named it properly). -mytext is a text box in the main timeline of the movie in level1. (I set the variable to mytext for this box too). I have tried to use eval("_root._level1.project.height"), but nothing works - the movie's height never shows up in the text box. Debug > List Variables tells me that movieheight is "undefined".
Here's the code from a button that controls a movie clip on the main page[code]...
The code works fine when the button is on the main timeline. However, I have a new complicated rollover button which is no longer on the main timeline. How do I change the path to the "container" movie clip?
just wondering if there is a script that could let me change the way that a movie clip behaves, for example, I have movie clip "a" and in a certain frame I have the function;
a.onRollOver = function (){ gotoAndPlay ("that"); }
can I later have a script that removes the onRollOver property so that the movie clip is once again JUST a movie clip and not a movie clip button?
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.
This is probably super easy, but it's kind of hard to search for...Basically, I'm working on a site... http:[url]....
index.swf is the navigation, which by default calls forth index2.swf in the movie clip
var l = new Loader(); page.addChild(l); l.load(new URLRequest("index2.swf"));
I want to be able change what external swf is loaded in the movie clip via the URL.So index.swf?url=media would load index.swf with media.swf in the movie clip.
I'm writing a simple game with Flash and I need to change the scene from inside a movie clip instance. I know how to change scenes with a button, but I can't seem to get the scene to change when certain criteria are met. For example inside a movie clip object I have this:
