ActionScript 2.0 :: Gradual Centre On Screen?
Mar 9, 2005
I have seen a couple of flash movies of late that have a nifty element to them, when the user resizes his window the movie slides to the centre or relative position, rather than snapping.THIS SITE is one example of the effect I mean When you resize your window the text moves gradually to a relative position.How is this done? is it via action scripting or through the html/java?It is a nice little touch, I like it. Do you think if you can dictate the position of certain elements you can dictate the size of elements according to window size?

I have my flash site working ok, but want the pop up browsers that are sized to pop up in the centre of the screen, instead of the bottom! Anyone know how to fix this? I'm using the following code on buttons:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:CultWear=window.open('http://www.stevedawson.org.uk/cultweargallery.html','CulWea','width=1133,height= 425,left=425,top=1133,screenX=1133,screenY=425');C ultWear.focus();void(0);");
}
and this is the site so far.... [URL]

This is my semi-finished art project URL...If you open it normally (providing you have a webcam) it works perfectly however I'm looking to showcase the piece on a projector and need to have it full screen.[code]I have made the piece so that the "orbs" rotate around the center point and the diamter of the rotation alters dependant on the activity level of the webcam. It looks very pretty when you open the swf. normally but when full screened the centres of rotation are completely off.Whats the best way around this? I'm in desperate need of full screen capability! [code]ps forgot to mention. all code is inside a blank movieclip called "orb" and then a copy of the movieclip is placed in every corner but flipped/rotated to achieve the butterfly/symmetry effect. this is the issue i belive that effects the full screen stuff.

Ok i have been looking at a racing game and have used the tutorial from this link here:[URL]...What i am having trouble with is trying to create a scrolling background whilst keeping the car static in the centre of the screen. Ane example of what im trying to do is here:[URL]...So i have tried incorporating the code from that scrolling background example, into the car racing game itself but i am having trouble doing so. Is there any way that the code used from the scrolling background can be input into the racing game example to create this scrolling background effect?

im trying to actionscript a simple animation where a combination of MC's move towards areas on the screen triggred by mouse events.What would be the best way of gradually ofsetting a MC, with the control to stop them with further mouse events.I have used tweens (example below) but i need to be able to stop them mid tween, i have tried using if statement to stop the clip but i cant seem to overide the tween.I have limited experience but im guessing a time based loop that i could supply an if statement withbooleons would be my answer. Are time loops possible with actionscript 3.(my thinking is(mouse event. start time based loop -offseting MC- Mouse Event 2 stops loop with if. )
tween example i used
(function moveToLeft(event:MouseEvent):void {
xMovement = new Tween(walkMC, "x", None.easeOut, walkMC.x, mouseX, 8, true); )
ive found the timer class, i should be able to make summit work with this

I have a movieclip called "clip1" and I was wondering if anyone could recommend some code for getting this to gradually blur to a strength of 10 when a button is pressed. Also, instead of button pressed, maybe an onclip event.

I'm making an animation with sky, clouds, scenery etc. during the daytime, and I need it to turn to night on rollover of a particular button. I'm such a flash virgin though, I don't know how to do this.
I'm guessing there's a way of changing the colours/tints of the objects so I can keep the same place in the animation, but I'd also like to make changes happen in the animation like leaves falling, lightning, bats... is there a way of doing this in a new scene but keeping the clouds from the first scene so they don't jump to a different point in the animation?

Just wondering where there is a good tutorial on a script for a scroll bar that has a gradual elastic property. An example would be the American Airlines site. Notice the scrollbar on the right.P.S. I already did a bunch of searches on the forum and I skimmed through the tutorials here already with no luck, so I did put some effort into it .

I'm trying to "fade" out a movie clip when I click on another movie clip. I know how to change the visibility to false or alpha to 0, but I want it to do this gradually rather then instantly.This is the code I currently have placed on the movieclip I'm using as a button, I am only trying to fade the SolidPurple, everything else is working exactly like I want it to...
Code:
on (press) {
this._parent.holderGreen.attachMovie("PathGreen","PathGreen2",1);
this._parent.SolidBlue._visible = false;
this._parent.SolidOrange._visible = false;

I have built a little script for gradual alpha fading in and fading out on RollOver and RollOut.
on (rollOver) {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.mvWhathandset._alpha += (100-this.mvWhathandset._alpha)/20; };
} on (rollOut) {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.mvWhathandset._alpha += (0-this.mvWhathandset._alpha)/10;
};}
If you rollover and rollout a single instance it works perfectly. When I place two instances side by side (alterning the instance name for each script obviously) and move the mouse over each of them the script falls to pieces, with one instance stopping the other and generally screwing things up!

I'm new to AS3 and desperately trying to figure out how to smoothly accelerate the frame rate of a movie clip (let's say from 0 to 24 over the course of a second or two) as a result of rolling over a button. I've been working on it for about a week just to get this far, and now I've hit a wall. Here's my code thus far:
stop();
var cf:int;
var fr:int = 1;[code]....
Basically, right now it starts at a very slow frame rate and stays there, never getting up to 24 fps. The only two objects in the scene are button1 and box1. The desired functionality is that when you hover over button1, the box1 movie clip starts playing slowly then accelerates up to 24 fps and continues playing at that rate until you roll out of button1.

My webapp progressively slows down over 45 min of use. People will be using it for longer, and it needs maintain its snappiness.I'm making sure to dump() any Bitmaps I use and of course clear any intervals that are running, but for some reason there's a buildup over time, and only restarting the browser clears up the lag, for example, when the user is entering text.I'm going to go ahead that it's an error in how I'm building things and not a Flash memory leak
Question 1: I read somewhere that every time that I "cacheAsBitmap," the movieclip must explicitly be set to cacheAsBitmap = false, or else the memory won't be freed up, in the same way that Bitmaps must be dump()ed to free up memory.I'm assuming I need to only do this for MCs that I cacheAsBitmap by code, and not through the GUI. Do I need set cacheAsBitmap = false via code even for MovieClips that I check off with "use runtime bitmap caching" through the Flash GUI?
Question 2: When I have added filters (like a DropShadowFilter) to the filter array of a movieClip, do I need to do anything to free up that memory, such as delete the references to the filters, or set filters to a blank array, before the MovieClip is removed... or is this done automatically? I have been assuming that it is handled by flash, but this could be a HORRIBLE assumption.

i am struggling to work something out here and am hoping that someone on here can put me right...i have a flash movie that uses a liquid type layout (ie all from top left to fill the stage) - part of the movie is a navigation that when clicked slides around the stage to set positions.the problem is that the nav co-ordinates (points it travels to) are all based around top left of the stage, and i need to make it work from the centre of the stage.this is an example of one slide actions on one of the buttons named CLEAR:

I'm new to AS and trying to learn new stuff by going through Kirupa's tuts and old threads, I came across this image resize from Best of Kirupa.url..At the moment all loading images as well as frame are resizing with top left corner always in fixed position. I've been trying to amend the existing AS, so both frame and images always stay and do the resizing at horizontal centre of the movie?

I've created an mc which functions as my map and controls to go with that which allow the map to be moved around and key points navigated to and zoomed in on at varying zoom levels.I'm using scaleX and scaleY to scale the map mc and a list of x and y positions to correctly position the map for each key point. The map mc starts at 1:1 scale ratio with the screen and it's registration point is at 0,0.When I want to go to a certain area I perform this calculation (offsetX and offsetY are the center of the screen and posX and posY are predined offsets on the map):[code]
I now need to implement a zoom in / out function and this is what I'm struggling with. The zoom should use the center of the screen as the reg point for the scale, so I've been trying something along the lines of the following to get the correct x and y position to set after the scale:[code]I know this is wrong but I've shown this to give you an idea of my train of thought, I need to work out what the new x and y will be to ensure that the area that is being zoomed in on, stays in the center of the screen.So in my mind this gets the distance from the current position of the map relative to the center point of the screen (offsetX, offsetY) then scales that distance by the new scale.
