ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] DuplicateMovie And _width Property?
May 15, 2003
I am trying to load some thumbnails and I have a few items that seem logical to me, but they do not work. The lines that are commented out do not work for some reason. The width of each thumb is needed so that I can space them out evenly with like 20 pixels between each.Initially photoArray has the path to each jpg, then it is overwritten with the movie clip when they load. If anyone knows why these lines dont work or knows a more efficient manner to load thumbnail jpgs that would be cool.I 've also tried getProperty() with no avail. PEACE - I'M OUT
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("thumbMC", -100);
for(i=0;i<10;i++)

I'd like to have a scrollbar which scrolls movieclips that are created depending on whether there is the information available in an xml file.The image attached shows how the layout should be and the xml will be something like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<myentry>[code]...
The kind of thing I want to create can be seen here... http:[url]...Click on 'engaging customers' and then you'll see a box to the right.I want to create something like that, but loading in the text from xml.
The scrollbar found here is good but I can't see how to implement the whole adding movieclips dynamically and then resizing the scrollbar etc.. http:[url]...Does this all include: loading in the xml, finding the node, creating a new movieclip, adding the xml information, resizing the scrollbar and then checking to see if there are anymore xml nodes?

ball2 is duplicated every 3 seconds and the gravity code is on the ball2 mc. this code is on frame one of the main timeline.Why when two of the ball2 mc's are on the stage does the hit test not work on one of them?
Code:
checkX = function (dx, oldVal, newVal) {
if (_root.paddle.hitTest(_root["ball2"+i])) {

I'm trying to make a bit stream across my page when you mouseover a button. The bit stream can be quite long, so I wouldn't think to do it by hand. I'm wondering how I would go about making the stream start out, and how I can get each bit to follow the other right behind it. (They're about 10 pixels wide). I can get the for loop to duplicate the clips, but I can't seem to get them in order.

I'm making some sort of a slideshow, if I load a jpg into a "box", with createEmptyMovieClip, the width of this box is 0. How do I get the width of this box (= width of the picture) and how to resize it with box._width & height.

I am pulling the variable this1length from a text file via loadVariablesNum ("getmy.txt", 0); know that this1length works is a valid variable as I can spit it out elsewhere, but for some reason the statement below is not pulling in the variable to set the width of the MC.P.S. this1length has a value of 10 in my text file.

onClipEvent (load) {
setProperty (_root.this1clip, _width, "_root.this1length");

I was disappointed to find that I could not use the _width property of a tweened movieclip instance to know how large the mc is at a given time.
Am I just not getting something??
A breakpoint in the onEnterFrame() function shows that _width is always the LARGEST width the movieclip ever has -- not its CURRENT width. In my case the mc is being made larger and larger, using a tween made in the authoring environment. The clip starts out tiny and ends up 400 pixels wide, but the _width property is 400 the entire time!

Check it out. I am creating an XML gallery. I am able to load in the gallery info from the XML just fine. The preloader works just fine. And I can set my _x and my _y just fine. BUT.... when I attempt to set my movie clip (that acts as the pic holder) to a width or height, the MC never shows up!

I have a horizontal line that is in a movie clip. To adjust the width of the line when I click a button I use
Code:
btn.onPress = function(){
line._width += 20;
}
This does change the width, but the line gets thicker (height is increasing) as the width increases. Why is this happening, and how can I keep it from happening? I want only the length of the line to change, not its thickness.

I'm having trouble getting the _width & _height of a jpeg loaded using loadMovie. I'm trying to reposition it (pseudo-registration point) for rotation in a container movie clip. If I use hard-coded numbers, it works fine. However, if I try to position it based on its _width and _height properties, it's no go... in fact, it doesn't even show up on stage.

Basically I've got a movie clip on the stage called loader_mc, I am loading a picture from the server into it with:loader_mc.loadMovie('http:[url]....');I am then trying to to take a snapshot of the image using:
dummyBMP = new flash.display.BitmapData(loader_mc._width, loader_mc._height);
dummyBMP.draw(loader_mc);
dummyBMP seems to be empty after this though, and I notice that loader_mc._width and loader_mc._height have a value of zero. The picture is visible on the stage despite this though.Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

I'm creating a small docu where you have some control functions like you have in Windows Media Player or Winamp or...
So my problem is that I don't know how I can make the statusbar (a bar where you can see how far the movie is).
I just have a bar that begins with a width of 0 and I want to make a itterative function that just does a _width++ every second/24fps
The question: Is there a function, like the Thread.sleep() method in Java, that let's you wait for a certain amount of milliseconds? Or do I have to put on every frame a call for my ++ function.

Is there a way to detect the _height and _width of a incoming image?
I'm going through a loop, duplicating movie clips with mask, loading an image, and squeezing it down to 100 x 100 for thumbnails. The client wants the thumbnails to be actual proportions but I used so many tweens and setup functions based on the 100 pixel width it's going to be a nightmare.

This is probably just a brainfart but when I publish the code below, my hitTest is triggered by the entire movieclip from 0,0 to _width, _height and not by it�s content. The �fwa� movieclip contains some txt that I broke apart, and I only want the hitTest to run when the �mc� hits the txt within the �fwa� movieclip!

var i:Number = 0;
var count:Number = 0;
var colorArr = ["0x99cc33", "0xff0066", "0xffcc00", "0x33ccff"];

I have a bunch of thumb mc instances on my stage, using the same mc symbol. They're all sized differently so the widths(which are same as heights) vary.I want to be able to access their width value from an array independent of all the scaling I'm doing with rollovers. That is, I need to have each mc instance's original width accessible from anywhere in my code.The simplest way to do this is to hard code an array, like:
var Twidth:Array = new Array();
Twidth[0] = "33";
Twidth[1] = "45";[code]....
But since I have 22 thumbs and several portfolios, and want the option of changing their original sizes on the stage, I want to create the array above on the fly using information in a loop. For instance, I already have a loop in a function called generateThumbs(). Here's what I've tried:
for (var i = 0; i<total; i++) {
Twidth = new Array();
Twidth[i] = this["thumb_mc"+i]._width;[code]....
for trace on the first method, replacing 'i' with the key I want (Twidth[2]):
undefined
undefined
45
undefined
undefined
As you can see, this gives me non-indexed non-delimited value for the whole loop (the actual in my real movie is 22). There's no length or array because its actually just one value. Entering a number in the key will display a bunch of undefined with one defined. I have no way of extracting that one key without getting all the other undefined values.my question is: How do I put 'this["thumb_mc"+i]._width' values into a loop with each value indexed for the rest of my functions to access?

I have a movie clip that jumps around over the course of my movie using standard keyframe animation. At every keyframe, it calls a function that moves a dynamic text box on top of it, autosizes the text box, then alters the movie clip's _width and _height to fit that of the text box.
The problem is, while the resizing code works fine and the text always fits, the act of altering the _width and _height seems to cancel out the keyframed positioning. The movie clip changes size, but it's forever locked to the position of the first keyframe.

I'm making a portfolio, it has a large amount of images, one by work, (maybe there are 25) and they are put in a horizontal band, the images all have the same height, but not he same width, and they load an external MC of each work.So I want to create an array storing all this values, _width, and MC to load.
Secondly I have a frame like a stroke of the picture, the frame is in the center of the band of images, and there are two arrows, one to move on the band to the left, and other to the right. The thing is that when I push the arrow the band must move 15 px on left or right, and te frame must adapt (with easing) to the _width of the image.And one more thing, there will be many many images in a future, so I would like that a user if it's holding the left or the right arrow for a medium/long time it could make the band of images to go faster from one to another. I think it's so simple of changing the speed of the movement, what I don`t kwow is how to know if the button is pressed for a long-meidum time.

I would like to ask for...
mcname._width = 200;
mcname._height = ....;
I want the value of _height to vary to the _width value by the image(movie) ratio. if the image is 1000x500 ... So if I want to decrease its width down to 200 then its height must be 100 as well
I want to provide this script to resize many picture and want all them resized with the same Width.

Lately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).
So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?

I have a class Inhabitant with a property skin which is of type DisplayObject.
Within Inhabitant I need to access the x and y properties of skin using this method:
this["someProperty"];
Rather than:
this.someProperty;
This is fine with properties defined within Inhabitant but I'm not sure how I could do this for a property of skin. This obviously doesn't work but it might give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:
this["skin.x"];
The reason behind requiring this notation is that I have a function which I can parse a String though that will represent a property:
public function addTokenable(property:String):void
{
if(!isTokenable(property))
_tokenables[property] = true;
}
And then a related getter that will return a representation of this instance of Inhabitant as a String:
public function get token():String
{
_token = "class:" + getQualifiedClassName(this).split("::").join(".");
