I got a very short question but I can't seem to find it on the internet (might be because I'm using the wrong terms). Is it possible to listen with a listener when a movieclip has been resized? I know there is a listener to do this with the Stage object. If this is not possible: do I have to make an interval that constantly checks if a movieclip is resized?
View 4 RepliesI've got a large bitmap (1920 x1306) that my client wants as a bg image, scaled to the swf size on load (930 x 575); but that can "grow" up to its original size if/when a user expands the browser window. All the rest of clips in the display list are to remain in place (except for a copyright clip, which they want to always be 14 pix above the bottom of the browser frame. I've tried loading the bitmap dynamically at full size and then using scaleX,scaleY to set it's initial smaller (930x575) size, and I've tried just setting the height/width of the dynamically loaded image using the math of scaleX,ScaleY just in case the scaleX "transformed" the bitmap so that it couldn't return to its original size. Both make the bitmap the right size. But the resize function below did nothing to it, (or the copyright.y.) THEN I tried just putting the bitmap into the display list (both sizing methods work here, too). But even as an original member of the compiled display list, the resize event is still not reaching the target. Everything I've seen on the web says this should work - but...no luck.
Here's the AS3 code in the 1st frame of my swf:

I have a form that is being created at the point the user clicks on. The algorithm is checking to see if a form exists in the same spot- if it doesnt, new object is created, if it does- result is traced. If no objects are on the stage- a new object is added. For some reason in this code- I get no results for the Mouse_Down event on the form itself. Method being called in main timeline:

I have a listener that calls a function which sets up everything on the stage exactly where and how I want it, works great. However..I also use the same function for my initial setup, and it's not triggered until/unless someone resizes the window, and as a result, everything is a mess until the window is resized.I could just duplicate the relevant bits in a separate function, but that seems needlessly redundant.Is there a way to trigger the function upon the initial load without waiting for a resize event?I would just call the function directly at the end of the script, but it expects a parameter that I can't figure out how to pass it.[code]

I'm currently working on a center stage component and I was wondering if there's a good way to detect when a stage component has been changed if any of the elements inside it have been enlarged?
This seems like it should be available but I can't find one that doesn't fire before the redraw. Or at all for that matter.
I am trying to set a listener so that I can respond to an flvComponent when it resizes etc. I am not uses any home made classes. I have stripped the code right down to this, and it still wont work! Have dragged a flvcomponent onto the stage and given it the instance name myVideo.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
myVideo.addEventListener(AutoLayoutEvent.AUTO_LAYOUT, fred);
function fred(e:AutoLayoutEvent){
trace ("hi from fred");
}
when I test I get "type was not found or is not a compile time constant:AutoLayoutEvent". I can do all sorts of processes like changing flv being played, moving it around etc.
how do I call the re-size action at the first frame? It works great once you resize, but isn't called at the beginning. I've tried a few things, but I'm shooting in the dark at this point.
Code:
sizeListener = new Object();
sizeListener.onResize = function() {
if((Stage.width > 1920) || (Stage.height >1200)){

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a SmartVersioning ad using MediaMind using ActionScript 2 (the publisher doesn't allow AS3).
Skipping over how it's implemented - basically what I have is a collection of MovieClips on the main timeline that contain a swappable image (through the Smart Versioning service). You can only define objects as Smart Versioning objects if they are on the main timeline.
What I'm doing with this is using BitmapData to use the assets on the main timeline as a source for the graphics throughout the animation.
Should be as easy as:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(143, 230, true, 0);
bmd.draw(_root.person1);
attachBitmap(bmd, getNextHighestDepth());

I have this flash timeline with an empty movieclip in it. And i have some button that attaches an 'actionscript-exported' movieClip from the library..[code]Now...each time i press that button, the 'some_mc' loads. Is there some clever way of checking if the movieclip has already loaded, so that it doesn't load if it's already loaded.[code]
View 6 RepliesI have a series of movieclips placed on the stage, that I have all given the same base class. When a movieclip is clicked, they scale up to 100%, and when clicked again, they scale back to their initial scale.What I would like, is to make it so that if another movieclip has already been scaled up previously, that movieclip will scale back down to it's original size, before the other movieclip that has just been clicked on, scales up. This is the basic code I currently have for all my movieclips:
Code:
private function fullImage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
parentX = MovieClip(parent).x;[code].............
How can i check if a click was on the stage (not on a other object in front of the stage - just on a place where no other object is - directly on the stage) OR on a movieclip (name "mcSlideHolder") like i'm trying here?

How can i check if a click was on the stage (not on a other object in front of the stage - just on a place where no other object is) or on a movieclip (name "mcSlideHolder")?
function onMouse_Down(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("MouseDown occured");

My Problem is, that e.target.name is null, when clicking on the stage. When clicking on the mcSlideHolder e.target.name is "instance235".
The reason I am trying to check to see if a movieclip is on stage or not is to remove it when someone clicks another section of the navigation. say they click work_mc, then they click a button in work_mc, this launches workss_mc. I want to check on the navigation is workss_mc is on the stage or not, if so remove it. This is what I have so far but it doesn't seem to be working..
Code:
nav_mc.skillsbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick3);
function buttonClick3(event:MouseEvent):void{
var workss_mc:mc_workss;

View 4 Repliesif you have a movieclip nested inside another clip, and you scale the parent clip, how do you see what the nested clips new sizes is?
so i have a circle(50x50) movieclip nested inside a container clip.
i scale the container clip, and then trace the nested circles width and still get a width of 50, the question is.... how do i get the size of the scaled circle, and not its original size?
i've not tried to do anything odd with eventListeners up until now. i have a movieclip with multiple frames that i use AS to attach a textfield to it. problem is i have a eventlistener for when the mouse rollsover the movieclip to go to frame 3 of the movieclip.
[Code]...
what's causing the textfield to suddenly take precedence and how do i stop it. when i trace the evt.target - it is my movieclip.
know how I can resize the stage to match the size of an external graphic/movieclip which is loaded into an empty movieclip,

View 3 RepliesI am trying to coding a part of a program which is creating different listener for the same object by using a for, but the problem is that the result for all of them is the same, In the following you can find my code:
for( var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
var obj = new MyClass();
obj.y = i*30;
[code]...
My goal of writing the code above is, by clicking on the first obj, the program writes 0 in output, by clicking on second one, writes 1 and so on, but this code give me 10 for all the objects.I should add that no matter there is an obj or not in myOtherMovieClip area, by clicking in that area, I got the same value.
I've an array of movieclips created via code that have some textfields. Then i have added some listeners to the movieclips.
Here the code:
Code:
arrNot[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, titoloOver);
private function titoloOver(e:MouseEvent){
var nome:String = e.target.name;
TweenMax.to(curs,1 ,{y:contMain.getChildByName(nome).y + 23});
}
This code moves a cursor calculating the y coordinate depending the moviclip that is mouse overed. Now the movieclips have some textfields so when i mouseover the movieclips all works ok but when i mouseover the textfield i receive a #1009 error.

View 7 RepliesI have a scene with a monster. Monster blinks its eyes. Eyes blinking is a separate MovieClip. Under some conditions, monster opens its mouth. Mouth opening is a separate MovieClip as well. At this moment I have to hide eyes MovieClip. As soon as monster closes its mouth, I must make eyes blinking visible again. My idea is to have some listener that listens to Mouth_opening MovieClip. When Mouth opening's currentFrame changes from 1 to 2, I will hide eyes. When it changes from 2 to 1, I will show it back.
So, the question is: how do I listen to currentFrame changes? Event.ENTER_FRAME is not appropriate: it's being called every render frame, not only when currentFrame changes.
What is the best method to add a listener to a movieclip in a class file? I created a loading animation on the main timeline and I tried making it into a class. I can get all the graphics drawn and placed, but can't see to figure out how to add the listener in the class.
