I was wondering how "relative alignment" such as on the easybit-site (take the window and resize it) is done? All objects on the stage are positioned always relative to the actual window-size without losing quality, but how???
View 2 RepliesAll though I can scale down the size of my objects and can shift them to their correct positions when scaling. I cannot shift them to the correct relative positions, relative to the screen centre.
Code:
level=1; //starting scale level
public function scaleOut(level:int) // scale to a level 1-4{
for (var r = 0; r < Main.ballArray.length; ++r){
// scale radius
Main.ballArray[r].bRadius *= (oldLevel / level);

have my images positioned randomly on the stage.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to change the depth of MCs that are already positioned on the stage. However, there doesn't seem to be a property such as _depth. So can I even change the depth of an MC during the game and if so how would I do it?

View 3 RepliesI am loading a MovieClip using MovieClipLoader. When the MovieClip starts playing, it changes the alignment of my stage to LT, which incorrectly repositions all the other objects on my stage.
Is there anyway for me to:
Prevent the MovieClip from changing the alignment of my stage? Adding an event handler to an appropriate event, so that I can reset the stage alignment when it gets changed?
I have already tried resetting the stage alignment on the onLoadInit event of MovieClipLoader and the onEnterFrame event of MovieClip, but both seem to reset the alignment too soon.
1)Can i assign different stage alignment for consecutively running many swf file,loaded by loader method
2) Is center alignment possible by AS3
I've ceated 18 buttons 1-18 on two rows and using the alignment tool made then all gapped the same and in line etc. I now want to centre the two rows of buttons on the stage. I've shift clicked to select all the buttons but no matter what option I pick in window alignment I can't get it to work.
View 2 RepliesI have following javascript and want to test whether the swf is aligned correctly. Please help me what function I should use to test it.

im creating an xml image gallery and its going well, but for some reason when i add the loaded image to the stage even though i've specified it to go to the center of the stage it doesn't, and won't center until I resize the stage
View 2 RepliesI am trying to centre my flash site I have used the following code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP;
My first scene which is a intro clip, containing motion tweens of text, works fine but when I click enter and get to my site as soon as I move the resizer on my browser my stage jumps far off the page and I can only see the bottom of it.
How can I draw objects relative to one another in AS3? For example I have a small object in the middle of a large object. Then I move the small object to the left (subtract x) but visually I see the large object move to the right and the small object stay still.
View 4 Replieswhat i'm referring to is the way in which the thumbs and menu items stay at the bottom & top no matter what size the window is resized to.. and the its only the big images that are resized...
View 1 RepliesI have one Sprite which acts as a container for two other Sprites. One has a picture the other has a series of hotspots.
If i change the scaleX and scaleY of the picture, the hotspots don't line up anymore. Do you know the correct equation so that any scale i set will always make the hotspots appear at the right place?
I'm trying stuff like this:
hotspot.x *= scaleFactor;
hotspot.y *= scaleFactor;
but i can't quite sort it.
I have a movieclip thats inside another movieclip..lets call them mc1 and mc2..

how to proportionally scale multiple movieClips relative to the stage size.
I understand movieclip placement relative to the stage, and I have been using a code to scale MovieClips as a fullscreen background (also proportionally)
But
I can not figure out for the life of me how to scale other movieclips in relation
to the stage size.
for example I have a background_mc that proportionally scales with the stage
to fill without distortion.
HOW do I then place another MC say center aligned (I know how to do that) that will scale with the background without distortion?
Ideally I would like to place several MC's on my stage all scaling in proportion with the stage yet independently.
I have not been able to find any documentation on this. lots of tutorials on backgrounds and color fills and the like but nothing on proportional scaling of independent mc's
this is the code I use for my background_mc (can it be modified or should it be thrown out the window to achieve independent scaling?)
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

I am building a project where I have 15 'islands' inside one big 'ocean' movie clip. I created navigation buttons so you can explore the Ocean movie clip and look around the islands. my problem comes when i want to 'zoom into an island'
So basically on the stage i have a movie clip called- Ocean_mc, and inside it are 15 movie clips, one of them (for this example) is a movie clip called GreenIsland_mc.
when a user clicks the GreenIsland_mc it needs to expand and place itself centre stage, then when clicked again in needs to colaps back to where it came from. The problem is that when GreenIsland_mc expands it needs to expand to coordinates relative to the stage, but when I shrink it back again it need to find the original coordinates relative to its place inside the Ocean_mc movie clip.

I'm developing my first flash app. I'm trying to use classes because they'll be very important in my future app. I created a simple movieclip with a star. However, instead of putting it directly on the stage, I'm calling it from library, using the addChild method to place the star in the stage. To do that, I simple right click over the movieclip icon->properties->check export to action script->and I give a name to the class (for example: myMC)
Then, inside the class I wrote:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class myMC extends MovieClip {
var star:myMC=new myMC();
public function myMC() {
[Code] .....
As I am placing the two variables origin_x and origin_y inside the constructor, I'm expecting to get 250 and 200 respectively. After drop the star, I want to send it to it's original place, and that's why I need to keep this values. And here's the problem, origin_x and origin_y are both ZERO, instead of 250 and 200... The value is not relative to stage. I managed a little bit and I found this post : [URL]. Unfortunately I tried to replace by the suggested code, but both values remain zero. An interesting thing, is that if I put the star directly in the stage instead of calling it from the library as I am doing, I get correct values in origin_x and origin_y.
I have a Flash file for an xml driven menu. There is the document Class, called Main. There is also a Navigation class. In the Navigation class, I position the location of main buttons and sub menu buttons for the menu. I want to position the buttons in the Navigation class relative to the stage. Currently, they are just fixed at certain positions (like 20); To do this, I have read that because this is not happening in the document class.
I must add an event listener to the constructor that listens for the added to stage event. I am not sure how to do this, as when I try and add an event listener for added to stage in the Navigation class nothing happens, (or all menu items diaspear). How to position movie clips relative to the stage (i.e. stage.stageWidth - 50) from a class that is not document class? How to do so in the document class, too.
If I have a rectangle on the stage, how do I find its top left tip (x,y) and the bottom right tip (x,y) in relation to the stage?

View 5 RepliesI made a spinning globe with Away 3D which sits in front of a 2D graphic in a specific spot. The swf is going to exist as part of a web-page. When a user hits "zoom in" or "zoom out" on there browser (looked at FF and IE) and refreshes the page, the 2D graphic is zoomed and stretched. The spinning globe is also magnified, but falls out of position... in this case, down and to the right. I put my original re-jiggering steps to put the globe in place in an onResize() method, called by stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResize);
[Code]....
Even if I wanted the globe to stay dead center on the stage, I don't know how to do this. What kind of calculation do I need to make in my onResize() method? Do I move the view or do I need to move something else? Can someone explain what is happening to the viewport or the camera when the stage is resized?
I have drawn colored rods which I have placed in the library and have put one of each on the stage with instance names likeblueRod_mc, etc.I place them around with time-line code like
blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;I have now created an Actionscript class called Problem.I build a new object from Problem which I have called Riddle.But when I put blueRod_mc.x = 300.0 in a method (of Problem),I get the message that blueRod is not accessible.So I triedstage.blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;That did not work either.
I'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.

1: I have a pie chart which takes values from xml and as per the xml data draw pie chart.
2: I need to add images to some or all pie slices.
3: If I am going clockwise direction and I have reached slice number 3 ,then the image to be added to that slice have similar orientation to that pie slice.
4: I have loaded the pie images and made its bitmaps and then added it to some array say pieBitmapArr.
5: Now I need to add this bitmaps to individual pies.
6: Further the overall dimension of pie image and pie drawn doesn't match.
7: And when I use addChild method to individual slice ,all the picture arrange themselves at the top left i.e. 0,0 position of the stage.
8: I want the image to exaclty fit on pie drawn but I am not able to do it.
9: Further I have used slice.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData) but also it doesn't yield anything,just blank pie.
