ActionScript 2.0 :: HitSize MC - Width Variable Not Working
Jun 19, 2008
I have an mc that loads thumbnail images which are then displayed sequentially in a scroller. I have an array that contains the individual widths of the images and i can get them correlating to the specific images. However: when I try to change the hit size of the images (controlled by a hitSize mc which is just a red box) it won't change the ._width of the hitSize mc according to the variable.
This is what I can do:
Code:
hitSize._width = 100;
(which works)
This what I have:
Code:
hitwidth = _root.projectsB[this.menuNum]; //this is the individual width of the image being loaded
hitwidth = this.hitSize._width;
if I trace(hitwidth); I get the correct number, but the above code won't change the size of the mc.
When I create an .swf at 60% width it expands fine to the width of the viewport/browser that I wanted. But when I add a table container of 100% width it doesn't show up at all, it turns invisible....??? Something very novice that I can't see to grasp. I've tried noscale and fscommand...but to no avail.[code]
The object is then tweened starting from a large number and going to a small number. Except my tweens aren't working. From the trace statements, my objects are shown to end up being to x=-20.55 and y=-107373766.65.
I have a list with tile layout,I have given the item renderer's width as 100%, but the item dosen't resize to fit the content . The same scenario works well for horizontal and vertical layout.
I create a simple .As file with following score code: Code: package{ import flash.display.Loader; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.net.URLRequest; public class AS3_Project1 extends Sprite{ private var sprite:Sprite; [Code] ..... And the image wont appear but if i remove the sprite.width = 500; line and I can view the image? what going on?
I've come to notice recently while using bitmap objects in the Flash CS5 (maybe before as well) authoring environment that are less than 4 pixels in width and/or height that they are treated as though they are 4 pixels wide/tall. Many of the bitmaps I use are 1 px wide in one direction or the other, and they are stretched to fill an area. Lets say I have a bitmap that is 20px tall and 1 px wide, and I stretch it to be 100px wide. The "hit area" of the object, or parent objects that contain it, is 400 px wide. So even if you click a significant distance away from the object, it is still selected, and anything underneath that invisible area can't be selected.
I've also noticed that when exporting a frame as an image, the smallest the width/height may be is 4px, and when I click the Edit button in the Properties panel with a Bitmap instance selected, it opens up in Photoshop CS5 and is 4 pixels wide! I'm wondering if for some reason Flash can't handle bitmaps less than 4 pixels in width/height and is treating it as if it IS 4 pixels wide, possibly even adding 3 extra columns of transparent pixels, because if I do the same thing manually, naturally it acts identical to the way Flash treats the 1px wide version. But why? Why can't Flash handle small bitmaps? Seems to me that's more efficient than quadrupling the amount of memory required.
I would like my website [URL] to be fullscreen and I've found this code to make it.But I am having problems with Firefox - the screen doesn't load anything, it is just a black screen. And in some IE the swf appears in a little square (very small) and not the size it was supposed to be in a maximized screen. The compatibility button on IE8 fixes it, but not everybody knows about this button..

i want to populate a horizontalList component from a xml file, the width value will be inside the xml file as well with all the data.actually i have this code:
I have a loader mc which scales to the width of the Stage. The loader mc has 3 nested mc's.A bg mc, progressBar mc, and loadBar mc.The loader and all nested mc's scale properly when I test it in the flash IDE but once I place the swf in a html page then the width is not accurate anymore. Another issue is since the loader stretches across the stage it needs to resize correctly in fullscreen mode. Click here here to view the example
// This is the code // ----- [ Stage Align ] ----- // Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
width 100% for divs, table not working on mozilla and ie. can anybody share their experience while working to achieve this. I wanted to place swf to occupy full web page
An object has been attached. The object is then tweened starting from a large number and going to a small number. Except my tweens aren't working. From the trace statements, my objects are shown to end up being to x=-20.55 and y=-107373766.65.
I'm compiling for the first time with mxmlc.exe from the command line. The compilation is successful, and the SWF plays if I set specific pixel sizes for width and height in my HTML wrapper. However, if I set the sizes to 100%, the SWF is not loaded (and right-clicking on the page yields the regular Firefox menu instead of the Flash menu).
Here's my HTML.

I'd like to create a tab system where the tab text is populated by an external XML file, and the tab width is based on whatever the width of the text is.
I couldn't just use button symbols because when I resized them the text got squished
I have a ViewStack which is dataProvider for a TabBar. There are two VBoxs as children for this ViewStack. It works fine with absolute values for width and height for these VBoxs, but when specified in percentages, the VBox uses all the available space (100%) for any percentage value. find the code and screen shots below.
how can children of a ViewStack be aligned to center? There is no horizontalAlign property for ViewStack and it is not working with horizontalCenter= "0".
Google is ranking my site preety high BUT (bigBut) in MOST searches it lists my swf-s not html pages. So when clicked they are shown in a browser window as single swf-s, not as part of html page. I am trying to workaround this by means of some variable to inspect if swf is opened as standalone or within a html.Here is the problem. I've set up a swf (swf_01 for example) in html page that loads another swf (swf_02) which is in swf_s directory. Swf_01 establishes a variable _global.isActive = 1; when html loads swf_01. So if swf_02 is loaded into the swf_01 variable is TRUE and that is OK and if the swf_02 is loaded directly from search results as a standalone swf it's not OK. That works so far. In swf_02 there is a code that checkes if variable is undefined (meaning that swf is loaded directly from search results) and, if it is, loads the right html into "_self".Somehow it's not working. Maybe my code isn't right.
Code in swf_02 (loaded one): /if(isActive==undefined){ loadMovie("http://www.mydomain.com/index_services.htm", "_self");} // meaning: if variable is not true > this swf is loaded into browser directly from search
I'm writing a function which can take the names of different variables and use them to do some calculations. Long story short, I want to be able to call the function like this:
It probably seems like a really roundabout way to pass the variable through its name rather than just passing the variable itself. This is related to me using XML to get the variable names, so they come in as strings. Just bear with me here.
Inside the function, I want to be able to do something like this:
which should then trace the variable's value. Unfortunately, I just get an 'undefined'. How do I use 'this[]' to get the value of the variable from a string corresponding to the variable's name?
Frame 1 (main code, aka: the problem area) Frame 2 (gotoAndPlay (1) Frame 3 (Content Frame, aka: destination)
The concepts I'm trying to understand are two-fold: Creating Variable, and Loading them externally.
Here's my code:
Code: var varFrame: Number; var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); my_lv.load ("external_code.txt");
[code]....
I can get the project to return the number "3" to the output window, but I can't get gotoAndStop (varFrame); to work.I understand this is a pointless program, but the project I'm building for work uses all these same lines of code (almost).

Just taking my first stumbeling steps from Flex Builder towards FDT.As I understand refactoring should work much like in Flex Builder, but when I select a variable for refactoring the dialog box shows the name of the class and if I click OK the class (the current .as file) is renamed and not the variable.No matter what I try I can only refactor the class name.
I'm using ActionScript 2.0 with Flash CS4 Professional, andI'm running into conflicting info on how to do this depending onwhich Flash book I'm looking at (and is that really a surprise?).1) I want the user to type text into a text field and thenFlash places what they've typed into a variable.So I created a text field of the type 'Input Text' andassigned this variable 'myInput'2) When the user presses a button, I want Flash to look atwhat is in the variable. THEN... If they have typed the correctword, they are sent to frame 19. If they type anything else, theyare sent to frame 38.In this example, the correct word is: "move"So, I placed this script on the button:
on (release) { trace(myInput); if (myInput = "move") {
I have a Number variable, named isConflict, whose value is passed in from a parent. I would like to put a ChangeWatcher on this item so that a function named changeBGColor will run whenever the value is changed. Within my creationComplete function of init, i have the following:
var isConflictWatch:ChangeWatcher = BindingUtils.bindSetter(changeBGColor, this, "isConflictChain");
I have a function with three parameters, that works fine when I type in the parameter values. The function is tweens(MCname, targX, targY) and it runs properly when I use tweens(btn1, 150, 200) for instance. I need the function to move 6 different movie clips, one at a time, and I am using a variable (Counter) and an if statement to tell the function to run again after one of my tween classes finishes. The code all works, and it will run six times with the same clip if I just type in one of the movie clip's instance names as the MCname parameter. BUT, if I try to use a variable (BTNname) to serve as the MCname parameter, it will not work, making it so I cannot apply the function to my 6 different movie clips. I put a trace on the MCname parameter, and it returns the correct value (btn1, btn2, btn3, etc) but it is not moving the corresponding movieclips. I've tried a number of different methods, but nothing will work..[code]
Im creating a menu navigation, which loads a sub menu movie clip from the library on specific button press. It does this by looking at the current selection (a number variable) and closing the currently active submenu. Once loaded it then changes the number variable to the value of the current submenu.
This works fine, most of the time... sometimes the number variable and menu loaded is completely wrong.
There are six buttons on the menu bar, included is sample script from the 'About' button, there is more to the script but it is instances of this sample, only button names etc change.
I get a debug error: Error opening URL "file:///C|/pathtofolder/flashdata.txt?reload=263757" Where the reload variable is the random number and flashdata.txt is the file that contains the variable I need.
It's probably a no brainer, but I've spent the last 40 minutes or so looking for it to no avial.
I have a Canvas control with a fixed width and a horizontal scrollbar.I'm trying to find the actual width of the control.The .width (fixed width) + the part being revealed by the scrollbar.I tried explicitWidth, width + maxHorizontalScrollPosition, and some other combos but non of them hit the spot.
