What I'd basically like to do is have a slider that controls the size of a Movie Clip. When you move the handle to the right, the MC becomes smaller, and when you move it to the left, it becomes bigger. I found an article at Sitepoint (www.sitepoint.com/print/actionscript-animation-flash), which did the opposite of what I want to do, but I couldn't seem to reverse the code.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get an object to increase in size the lower it goes down the stage, and decrease in size the high it moves up the stage.
It only needs to increase or decrease by a small amount. Basically, it's for a game character. To ad realism to his movements, it would be nice to have this feature.
This is where i'm up to so far:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
I think I need something like:
if (object moves up)
decrease
else if (object moves down)
increase
How to decrease the size of a button?
I have a button in which it contains an image.But my problem here is i am unable to decrease the width of the button along with image.
How can we decrease the size of that kind of button.
If possible provide me some sample code.
Below is my sample code:
<mx:Button id="line" toggle="true" paddingLeft="1" paddingRight="1" icon="@Embed(source='Images/line.png')" toolTip="Line" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true" click="doDrawEnable()" ></mx:Button>

I have a movieclip slider_mc that can be dragged across the screen. There are also lots of small movieclips on the stage that I would like to increase and decrease their size depending on how close the draggable movieclip is to them
View 1 RepliesI am new to flash but I have used motion tween before with Flash CS3. Now I need a text to decrease size and modify alpha so I wrote the text (one word), converted it to symbol (movie clip), create 2 key-frames (larger size, alpha 30% -> small size, alpha 100%) and "create motion tween" between. But it doesn't work i don't know why! This time I use Flash CS4 and I was wondering if there are some presets or something that I don't know. The arrow that suppose to appear between the frames doesn't ..only the frames change color.
View 5 RepliesI need to implement a functionality where a user adds some text into a text field. Next if a user clicks on a button, then the font size increase/decrease so as to accomodate entire text in the available area. That means if a user has added just hello world in 12 px font and text field size is say 400*200 and user clicks on the button, the font size increases such that the text is occupied in the complete text field. Similarly if lot of content is added at a font size of 16 or so then clicking on the button reduces the font size to make it fit into the available text field area.
View 1 RepliesI am new to Flash & ActionScript 3.0 platform.My issue is: I am loading an image onto the stage dynamically using Loader & URLRequest classes. Whenever I click on existing circle[which gets created when I click on the loaded image, which is of Sprite type], the size of the circle should be increased to some extent(let us assume, basically circle(Sprite)is created with radius=3 when we click on the image, but, when we click on the created circle, it's radius must be increased to 5). It is the requirement.
So, for this to implement, Do we have any property or method to change the Sprite object's size directly?

I'm making a flash game and I've come to a halt in my code. This is how the game works: Where ever the mouse is clicked, the player will run towards thats spot. It's on a field. The problem is, I want the player's size to decrease as he gets higher up on the field(as the y gets closer to 0), giving the illusion of depth. But for the life of me I cant get it working! Im quite new to AS3 so im not sure about all it's tricks, but here was my go at it.

When I run the code, my character's size stays the same when I go up and down, but goes all wobbly when i go at angles without any real order. Clearly it's not working.

View 3 RepliesI'm working with a Flash movie and I'm trying to get the size of the player itself (i.e. the height and width Flash has to work with from the object/embed tag). As far as I can tell, Flash doesn't make this available to ActionScript.
I'm able to use this.root.loaderInfo.width and this.root.loaderInfo.height to get the "intended" size of the flash movie (what's specified on export), but if the dimensions are different on the page, this isn't helpful.
In Java, what is the best way to determine the size of an object?
In Actionscript I can usually just do:
var myVar:uint = 5;
getSize(myVar)
//outputs 4 bytes
How do I do this in Java?

I've been developing a flash game with a friend, and have hit a minor snag with the timers. My entire game runs in one frame, spawning movieclips and handling all that game-related stuff. Thing is, I've got a timer that spawns one thing (a boulder, in case anyone is wondering), and I'd like to have that setInterval (milliseconds) decrease every second by a set amount.
The important snippet of my code looks like this:
var timeb = 750;
bfalltimer = function () {
spawnboulders();
if (gaslevel<=0) {
clearInterval(boulderspawntime); }};
boulderspawntime = setInterval(bfalltimer, timeb);
Every second, I'd like time to decrease. I've tried everything I can think of - did I miss anything? How would I properly do this?
If the size of the Document object in a Flash application is not set explicitly, how is its size determined?
View 5 RepliesI want to set it up so the size properies will pass over to the block (same object size - height and scale) but also changing the collision properies so the player will be enable push the block around the screen but I'm not sure how to implement such functionality/feature. I've experimented with two ways so far; 1.) The enemy changes to a frame of a block when he dies (illusion of a different object but the same object with a different frame on the timeline) using the same size properies but I can't seem to the change the collision properies from it's prior setting of causing damage and re-bound/bounce to the player. 2.) The enemy is removed completely from the game and a new block object is added in the same position where enemy died but I can't share/code the same size properies to this new block object making obvious that is a different object. Here is a code I've what I've done so far (which is attempting to do first approach);

I'm doing a little drag and drop work and I'm wondering if it's possible to change the size of an object when it is dragged over another object on the stage..
For example I would like to drag a square movieclip around, but when it is dragged over a certain object it either play the movieclip and 'morph' into a rectangle or simply become rectangular (using a frame label or something) !
Is it possible to do this sort of thing with hitTestObject or hitTestPoint or dropTarget without contiuously checking if the objects are in contact ?
I have a list of items dynamically loaded from an XML file into my flash movie.Each item is positioned vertically with some buffer space between it and the preceding item.However, if the amount of items exceeds the flash objects height,then the excess items are invisible (because you cant scroll through them!).So then is it possible to make some form of call (undoubtedly an externalinterface call to a javascript function) that will resize the height of the flash object to fit all of this dynamically loaded content so that the browser's scrollbar is triggered allowing the user to scroll through?Or is it more practical to simply carve up my own scrollbar to fit the entire flash movie?

I'm rendering a xps file using flash (no MX or Spark), and I'm running into a sort of 'contradiction' that I'm unable to solve. [Note, that I'm trying to work only in core flash (e.g. Sprite, Shape, etc.), I've already solved (sort of) this issue using Spark.]
The pages of the xps file specify an explicit size. However, the content described (especially paths) in the xps file can sometimes extend outside of this area.
The problem is, I want the parent Sprite to have the size specified by the xps file, for example so scroll bars match the page size (not the sprite size), but in some cases the Sprite is much larger than this.
I've tried recursively going down and scaling everything UP, and then at the end scaling the parent container DOWN. Unfortunately, this causes translation problems with paths, and I assume it can also cause problems with bitmaps, etc.
Without using MX or Spark, is there anything I can do to control the size of the parent Sprite, other than scaling all the children independently?
Is there a way to have a video object whatever the camera size is but have it displayed on the screen as a certain size? I cannot get the video object to stay a certain size...even if I put it in a movieclip.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie that, when a button is pressed, a specific movieclip (named revealbar) moves a certain increment (in this case 25 pixels):

What I'd like to do is have the bar decrease in size instead of just move.

View 3 RepliesI have a SWF stage that needs to be resizable, as it loads content dynamically which may have different dimensions. Yet, I need an object (namely a 'Close' button) to keep its absolute size no matter how big or small the stage gets. I also need it to keep its relative position, let's say always at the top right corner of the resized Stage.
View 3 RepliesI have a scrolling flash gallery. On mouse hover over a thumbnail, a popup with more description is shown. The problem is that my stage height is 200px but the popup requires additional about 200px to show properly. When I embed this in an HTML page with the object tag height set to 200px, i see the scroller completely but the popup get cut from the top. If i change the object height to 400px, it show me the popup fine, but this inserts extra blank space in the html page.
