ActionScript 2.0 :: [cs3] LoadMovie: Objects Extending Beyond Borders
Jan 27, 2009
I'm not much of a web/flash designer, but I need to showcase my print work online - so I apologize foremost for the noob-ness. I tried to search for this, but came up empty. I am loading external swf movies via loadMovie, into my "base" (main) flash file which will essentially be my website. Everything is loading fine.
I have an swf file that when I load (with loadMovie) objects are extending beyond the set stage size of the swf and onto the "main" flash file. This only occurs with objects that are "off" of the stage. For example, I have a background which is larger than the set stage size, when I load the swf, the movie loads up, but it allows the background to extend beyond the stage size. Is there a way to "crop" the flash file? All I need to do is load a movie without "hidden" objects appearing. (I also have checked that in publishing preferences.)

i have a simple navigation system with three buttons, each button have a text field in it. On mouse over they change color to blue. I can achieve all these without a single line of code. I simply make a button of my text field in flash, and change the color of the text in the timeline.
My problem occurs when i want to make the color to stay blue when i click on the button. Apparently you can't access the child within a button, in my case a dynamic text field. I've googled this problem and they all say that you should use a MC instead of a button. Thats exactly what i have done so far. But i'm getting tired of writing a bunch of eventlisteners and put an extra layer with an invisible button in my button mc so i can get the hand cursor (because the .buttonMode = true and useHandCursor doesn't work when there is text field inside the mc). Any way, shouldn't there be a more elegant way to solve this problem?
I've been trying to build a new base class for my button that extends SimpleButton, and from there access the embedded child object, but the problem remains.
In this example i'm trying to simply change the text of the text field inside of my new MyButton instance. But i get the same old Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
package
{
import...
public class Mybutton extends SimpleButton

Is there a way to put borders around the (MXML) elements of a Flex application? I'm picturing something similar to what Firebug does for HTML with the Inspect button (url...)

how do i make some movie clip positioned lets say 10 pixels from border while im using fullscreen swf?
I have tryied:
Code:
bobek._x = (Stage.width)-60;
bobek._y = (Stage.height)- 60;
(test movie clip have 50x50px)
but it just put it once and takes the width and height of the .fla settings insetad of real dimensions of fullscreened .swf
How to make it position the mc all the time whenever someone resize the window/open it in fullscreen?
Im using those commands for full screen:
Code:
fscommand("allowscale","false");
fscommand("fullscreen","true");
fscommand("showmenu","false");

I have created an array of Input Textfields with their borders visible. All is fine when I play the swf directly in the Flash player. But when I try to view it in the browser, certain horizontal and verticallines in the grid appear darker than the rest.

I can't see a way to get rid of certain borders within a DataGrid. I'd like to eliminate a side border on 2 of my columns so that they appear to look like a single column.I'm trying to implement a "clear value" button on each of my DataGrid rows. I was able to have a button show on a custom ItemRenderer from a separate ActionScript file, but I was unsure how to have the button click event propagate to the mxml file where the DataGrid is located. It would be much easier for me to have an extra unresizable column with a 'clear' button.
So, to reiterate: Is there any way to change the border style or eliminate certain borders of a DataGridColumn?

I'm making my own website on flash cs4 and I really like websites with backgrounds that don't have borders, they just have an image or a design or both that fit the whole inside of the browser window like this website, [URL] is there a way to accomplish this in flash cs4? I know that you can edit the borders in the html embed code for the .swf but even if you put 0px for all the borders, if I go on another computer with different resolution settings or a computer with a bigger monitor and a bigger browser window, borders are still present around the .swf.

I was browsing the net and came upon this site, which has a really cool blob-like borders effect. I really wanted to learn how to accomplish this effect, here's what I know as of now:
1. I must have an array of points, connect them using curveTo and fill it. For this I have to use this methods:
createMovieClip, lineStyle, beginFill, moveTo, curveTo, endFill
2. Then I must have a proximity detector for each point, more or less like:
dx = point._x - _xmouse;
dy = point._y - _ymouse;
distance = Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
And if the mouse is too close to the point make it move away with a certain velocity (but only if the mouse is moving, if it is still, just make the blob wobble for a while, using an elasticity effect).
point._vx += point._ax;
point._x += point._vx;
Where the acceleration must be a fraction of the distance we calculated before:
k = .2; // example
point._ax = distance * k;
But we must also have damping so we can have the elastic movement, so:
damp = .9; // example
point._vx += point._ax;
point._vx *= damp;
point._x += point._vx;
3. Finally when the mouse is clicked on a blob we must communicate with the others and make them all wobble, by using LocalConnection. How do I make the array with all the points and access them?; how do I impose the proximity detector into each point and make the curveTo's change?

Is this possible? It's a hassle to have the extra step of keep a seperate movieclip behind the one with the image to get a border. Can I load an image into a movieclip that has a border, or give it a border afterword? Same with shadows.

I have some textfields generated from code, and if I apply a drop shadow filter on them, sometimes the right or the bottom part of the textfields' border just disappear.
Code:
_passwordField.filters = [new DropShadowFilter(1, 45, 0, .75, 3, 3, 1, BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH)];
this is the line of code, which is responsible for this bug (is it a bug?) because if I comment it out, the borders render correctly.

I have simple file 550 x 450, in it there is one container 400x300, x:75, y:78. In the container I am loading images and there is drag and drop function for them. I also have added mask with size that matches the size of the container because when i load larger images i could move them. Everything is working fine, but If I set scaleX and scaleY to the container image, the drag and drop functionality is not working fine - I can't reach the edges of the picture.
Code:
with ( m_mask.graphics )
{
beginFill( 0x000000 );
[Code].....
It behaves like there is not enough space to move the image right, left, top or down.

I've made a site with small draggable "popup" windows (not actual windows since they are objects in flash..) I can drag em off the scene outside the edge. I've attempted many things.. A adaptation of the collision script found through search.. (on collision it stopped dragging) Worked nice, until you move the mouse real fast, then it can pass right through or partly through and the fact that it's stopdrag. It takes effort to get it from the edge. It's stuck basically.
I fixed it by making the on (press) change frame in a moveclip containing the border.. had a side effect though.. You can now drag the window out from the scene if you repetitively drag it towards the edge. Is there a way to limit a movieclips possible X & Y positions? (in both + & - range to make it a 4 cornered block). I also want the moveclip to keep moving up/down if if hits the right/left edge if you continue dragging it up/down (same with left/right edge also)
I tried the scrip from the "dynamic mask":
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
getlimits = _root.normalpic.getBounds(_root);
if (_root._xmouse>=getlimits.xMin && _root._xmouse<=getlimits.xMax && root._ymouse>=getlimits.yMin && _root._ymouse<=getlimits.yMax) {
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
}}
I changed the size of the "normal pic" and it works lovely.. but it's on enterFrame... and I need to react on on press and on release.. : tried to adapt it but cant figure out how.. and besides the script don't allow movement along the edges (like I described above) and if you move the mouse fast enough the window stops short of the edge..

If you have two textareas, one has a rotation value besides 0 and the other has no rotation value or a value of 0 and you 'tab' focus from the one w/rotation to the one w/out. The border around the textArea w/out rotation will be rotated. If you set the rotation value of the non-rotated text field to a non-zero number, even 0.01, it fixes the problem, this causes tons of other problems in text rendering though so its not a solution.
I found setting the focusThickness style to 0 removes the border, which is a good solution but not a great one, anybody got a better one? Here is some sample code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:TextArea id="source" width="100%" fontWeight="bold" fontSize="20" height="50" rotation="5" />
<mx:TextArea id="dest" width="100%" height="50" />
</mx:VBox>

migrating some of my code snippets over from AS2.I tried reproducing one of my most used bit of code - the dynamic border - in AS3, but I have run into a small problem.
PHP Code:
var sw:int = stage.stageWidth -1;
var sh:int = stage.stageHeight -1;[code].....
So this code works great in Firefox but fails miserably in IE6, Flash Player 9. So my question is does anybody have a workaround that works on IE6, Player 9?

I have an asset management system which loads a bunch of external swfs, and when requested distributes copies of those swfs to other parts of an app (it creates instances of the classes to do this).Anyway, when I use these loaded swfs somewhere and then remove them Flash does its trick of leaving the sounds running (as they are triggered by timers).If they were Loader class items I could use .unloadAndStop() to shut them up and get them garbage collected, but they aren't of course.I thought I might be able to extend the Loader class and set the .content my self - which I have done by overiding the content getter in Loader. I was hoping I could then use unloadAndStop on that class but nothing happens. I've tried casting my fake Loader to a Loader as well and no joy.

I'm using AS2, and trying to use AS2's packages for the first time, so I can organize my .as files properly. I'm running into some problems though I've got some classes that extend MovieClip, and I've put the class names in the Linkage>Class fields. When I publish, though, I get the error: The class or interface 'ClassName' could not be loaded. anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I tried importing the classes on the main timeline, and even including the directories of those classes on the classpaths list, but no dice

this cursor follow works in a single frame on the main timeline with a stop action :
// kisses start and follow cursor
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, start_kisses);
function start_kisses(event:Event) {
staged_kiss_mc.x = stage.mouseX;
[code]....
How can this same function be called in various frames throughout the main timeline? For instance, say the above code is on frame one and the "staged_kiss_mc" is extended from frames 1 to 10. On all frames there is also a stop action (along with additional code, content, etc.)How can the function "start_kisses" be activated on each of the 10 frames in the same way it is on frame 1 ?Is it necessary to add a new Event Listener? Do new functions need to be coded for each frame, such as start_kisses1, start_kisses2, etc.? --Or can the same original function be reused?

I found this sentence while googling out for Flash help: "Add 3 frames to your timeline. Drop a TextField on your Stage & make sure it extends over all the 3 frames." I was not able to accompolish the second task of this. I added the frames, dropped a TextField on the first frame, but could not find a way to extend it over all the 3 frames.

I want to add a property to the MovieClip class. I just have a bunch of MovieClips that are placed on the stage by reading an XML file and creating lots of clips according to the information in them. Now, I need to know which MovieClips were created below previous clips, and I figure that the easiest way to do so would be by extending the MovieClip class and add an order property.I have some problems though: I don't know how to set or get this order property within the main clip, I don't know how to place this clip within my movie, and I don't know how to create them dynamically (do I just do something like var myNewObjectOfExtendedClass : myExtendedClassName = new myExtendedClassName?)
This is the code I have on my extended class, called Expando.as:

When I open a new Flash CS5 project, the timeline grid only goes out to 600 or so frames. I have a three minute audio track that I want to insert at frame 1, and at 24 fps, that means it should end around frame 7200. So what I want to do is to extend the grid out to 7200 frames - before I drag my audio clip in, or once I have it in. If I set keyframes at 1 and 5, say, and drag my audio track in at frame 1, it appears that it will play all the way through using the controller, but my timeline grid is still only 600 frames long, and if the next thing I want to do is something that happens at frame 6000... I still can't get there.

I made the transition to AS3 two years ago, but I still carry with me old AS2 habits. Could someone please help me understand how I extend a custom class correctly. I have the bad habit of putting most of my code in one .as file (the Document class), but I use a few custom classes now and then. What I'm tring to figure out is how I would extend a class of this type:
public class ClipDragger {
private var _clip:MovieClip;
public function ClipDragger(clip:MovieClip) {
_clip = clip;
[code]....
For example I would like to add a MOUSE_MOVE listener, and also add actions to the drag function.

My current requirement: I have menubar with 3 different button types. Skin structure is simple: one label and two state graphics. So my base skin have label, and in overridden i want add two images. But flex docs states that overriding of skin is not preferred. I try override override public function addElementAt(element:IVisualElement, index:int):IVisualElement for adding new subcomponents to custom container sdk using it but my view is blank. Does skins are really not overridable? My current code:
<s:ButtonBar skinClass="MenuSkin" dataProvider="{content}" />
in MenuSkin:
...
<fx:Component id="firstButton">
[code]....
and next 2 skins have repeated <s:Label/> part. As label should look the same, naturally i want extend base skin class but it is no possible form me. First problem: if i add image in mxml it overlaps label.
