Actionscript 3 :: Sprite Scale - Rectangle Is Clearly Larger Than 100x100 Pixels?
Nov 4, 2011Here's a very simple AS3 project consisting of one class which draws a rectangle. When I run it, the rectangle is clearly larger than 100x100 pixels.
Edit: I know that it isn't correct because, though I have my screen resolution set to 1280x800, if I set the width to 500 it takes up almost all of my screen.

Aug 17, 2009how I could setup an Image so when it loads, and I change its Z value, it doesnt keep shifting in reference to the upper left. Right now, when I change the Z value of a Sprite containing the Image, it appears to move x, y (even though I know they are not changing). I thought that by putting it inside of a sprite, and then moving the image to so that its center was at 0,0 inside the sprite, that when I changed the z value of the sprite and not of the bitmap itself, it would fix my problem, but its not.

Actionscript 2 :: Flash - Scale A MC From Center Position?
Nov 25, 2011I am using AS2 and I'm looking for a way to scale an MC from the center meaning that the width will expand equally on both sides.For example .. If the movie clips needs to expand +10 then it would be +5 on the left and +5 on the right.So, in order to simulate the movie clip going forward the position on the left would offset -5 then scale.

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Center An Object Around A Point After Scale?
Oct 27, 2011I'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.When I want to go to a certain area I perform this calculation (offsetX and offsetY are the center of the screen):
newX = posX * scale + offsetX;
newY = posY * scale + offsetY;
Then I tween the position and scale of the map to smoothly scale and move the map to the correct position:
var tween = new TweenLite(_background, EASING_SPEED, {x:newX, y:newY,scaleX:scale.getScale(),scaleY:scale,ease:EASING_TYPE,onComplete:moveToComplete,onCompleteParams:[room]});
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 positioning:
var newX = offsetX - (offsetX - _background.x) * scale;
var newY = offsetY - (offsetY - _background.y) * scale;
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. However, this is clearly wrong because it's not working and the positioning of the map is wrong.I've also tried using a transform matrix to get the correct values but I know even less about them and not got the right results.
function scale(target:MovieClip, center:Point, scale:Number):Point {
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.translate(-center.x, -center.y);//move the center into (0,0)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Find Center Point Of Mc With Dynamic Scale?
Dec 1, 2010I'm trying to add some zooming functionality. The problem is that when you zoom in and out, it scales the MC up and down from where the registration point is. This means That when I'm far from the position of the registration point instead of zooming the in straight it also makes it appear as if you are travelling towards the registration point.
To offset this effect I want to calculate the amount of pixels I need to offset the Map by so that it appears as if you are zooming in directly.
So just as a test I've put a little ball inside the map(called "center") which I'm trying to keep in the center of the map.[code]...

View 5 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Image Pan - Want To Center/scale Relative To Position At Click?
Aug 19, 2006I've recently taken Krilnon's tutorial on interactive image panning, and have a need for more complexity. My image to be panned (relative to user's mouse movement) has several 'hot spot' buttons placed within. Each hot spot, when clicked, is to smoothly zoom and shift within the mask, with pertinent info displayed next to each, once zoom and shift is complete. almost like I'm making a motion tween, where the final position is known, but the start position is wherever the BG image is when the user clicks the nested button. I need to determine the x-position at the moment of click of the button (different for each button), and then, I think, use a simple-math "stagger-step" method of moving and scaling, until I've reached my final dest. here's the link to the tutorial I originally referenced:If anyone knows of a tutorial or example out there, I'd love directions to it(them). or,

What I'm trying to do is simple, get my flash to go full screen, but whatever resolution the user has, my flash must centers itself with the biggest proportion possible, and two movie clips goes right and left of it, as if they were borders.
I've been able to do this with a simple png, but i was not able with a movieclip where his dimension changes through time. ( i have a tween, so the mc gets really big even though just my stage is displayed)
Actionscript 3 :: Scrollbar With Sprite And Rectangle Won't Move Text, Just The Rectangle It's Painted On?
Mar 8, 2010For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?

I know how to create rectangles with:
