I have this code for creating a border around images. (partly from the huge thread on resizeBorder here at Kirupa). The image is loading into a containerMC and that I can align top left, but this code I dont know how to align? Anyone?
Code:
//creating the border:
this.createEmptyMovieClip('border', 3);
with (_root.border) {
[code]....
Is there a way to place a border around an ActionScript List? (I mean a border that I can see, such as a red border of one pixel width.)

View 9 Repliesi'm working on a flash game at the moment, and i would like to know if i am able to set the point that the movieclip rotates around using actionscript.
i don't want to do it by simply moving all of the contents of the movieclip closer or nearer. is there any other way of doing it? i couldn't find any simple functions for it. am i just going to have to use some complicated maths?
[edit] rotation point, aka, registration point.[/edit]
I'm trying to make a little program. It works right now by drawing the top shape to the dark gray area, where it then copies itself and changes color. The new shape can be re-dragged as well. What I want to do now is add a dynamic border when I click on the new object, I want the box to adjust to an appropriate size. And on mouse release I want the selection border to disappear on the new shape. I want the selection border to be dashed much like you find in many of Adobe's programs, if at all possible.

I am creating an interface where a user can pick up "Polaroid" stle photos and shuffle them around a virtual desktop. I want to photo to shift it's transform point to match the point at which the user picked up the photo, to create a "swinging" effect as the photo is dragged.there was an AS2 workaround floating around, but I want to find the AS3 equivalent, and seem to be unable to find it in the Geom/Matrix package/classes.

View 8 RepliesI've been playing around with Flash's native 3D in pure AS3 (in FlashDevelop, not the Flash IDE) and am having a heck of a time finding documentation on how to set the 3D "anchor point". (Perhaps it goes by a different name?)
Can anyone tell me the API, Class, or command(s) needed to move the anchor for a given Sprite or Stage?

How can i have 15 buttons load different images into one border.When the swf loads picture 1 is loaded. When you click some of the other buttons picture 1 stays into the border. A preloader bar and percent shown up under picture 1. After the preloader and percent bar reaches 100% picture 1 "alpha-fades" out and the picutre correspnding the button you clicked "alpha-fades" in ?
This transissions will happen beetween all the pictures you load.The pictures must be loaded dynamic .

View 2 RepliesI am generating sprites programatically like this:
this.food = new Sprite();
this.food.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
this.food.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 10, 10);
this.food.filters = [new GlowFilter(0xFF6699, .80, 5, 5, 2, 2, false, false)];
this.food.graphics.endFill();

I basically want the food sprite to spin slowly about its center, not its x and y value which is the top left corner of the sprite. How can I make the anchor the center of the sprite?
how to properly change a displayobject's registration point? changing the transform.matrix.ty / transform.matrix.tx, works, as long as the mc doesnt change x /y itself later. if it does, the matrix is reset.
View 2 RepliesI'm working a project where images expand 50px on roll_over and then retract on roll_out. On roll_over the images overlap and I use the setChildIndex to keep the target on top. This works fine. What I'm having issues with is the border that is displayed on roll_over. The first time I cycle through the images, everything works fine, after that only the image stays on top, the border slides underneath the other images. I looked up the Adobe 'setChildIndex' I'm afraid I don't understand the numChildren-1 thing.

i am loading JPG images into movie clips, then drawing a border around them with this code:
Code:
var frameColor:Number = 0xffffff;
var lineThick:Number = 1;[code]..............
i am resizing the movieclips (and thus the contained pictures) down to 160 x 120, but those pixel values didn't work in my lineTo statements. i multiplied them by 3, using 480 and 360 and it works better. however, the behavior isn't consistent. i am attaching a picture so you can see how the border is too tall on some of the images.so, is there a better way to use pixel dimensions with lineTo? does the scaling factor between flash vector units and pixels change between movieclips depending on what content i load into the movie clip?

I want the button to be able to take you from the point on the MC where the button is down a few rows to another point, this would be similar to creating an anchor text in an HTML document, but I don't know how to do it with AS.

View 1 RepliesI am working on a simple action-script3 slideshow. The thing that I have modified is the movie loads the list in two separate sections. The problem is I want the movie clip to load one image on the right then one image on the left. When the one on the left loads, it loads over top of the right image. I want send the image on the right to be on top again when the left image loads.
Here is my code specific to the images loading:
ActionScript Code:
function nextImage():void{
if(my_times > 0){
var my_image1:Loader = Loader(my_loaders_array[my_playback_counter]);
my_image_slides.addChild(my_image1);
my_image1.x = 26.1
[Code] .....
The idea is, when my_image1 is loaded, I want to have the depth of my_image to be on top.
We build prototypes and demo applications in Flex 4.5.1 and AIR 2.7 for mobile and desktop use. These tend to involve a large number of full-screen .PNG files. Lately we have been looking at ways to segment our code for flexibility and multi-screen re-use. What suggestions do people have for segmenting the project and libraries such that compile times are minimal and images are easy to replace?
View 1 RepliesHow can I add a set of dynamic images and then add event handlers to each that trigger a different event? My scenario is that I have a remote service that grabs a set of data (ArrayCollection) that has a className, classID and classDescription. I would like the images to have event handlers that trigger a new panel display that would show the "classDescription" for the particular class that is clicked. My problem is figuring out how to retrieve the proper set of data and adding the images properly to the panel.
