Flex :: Size - Find The Width Of Text In A Spark Label?
Oct 11, 2011Suppose I have a (Spark) label. What is the best way to find the length of the text in it? I looked at the myLable.measureText("bla bla") method but it says: To measure text in Spark components, get the measurements of a spark.components.Label or spark.components.RichTextfter looking around I cannot find what this is refering to. I tried myLabel.measureWidth() but this does not return anything usefull (it frequently returns zero). Note: I am explicitly setting the width like this:<s:Lable width="{globalWidthVariable"} .../>If the text overflows I would like to increse the globalWidthVariable to the size of the text.

Oct 15, 2004How can I get the width of an externally loaded picture? I have this:
Code:
pic_mc.loadMovie("images/pic.jpg");
pic_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._width) {
trace(this._width);
}
}
but it is not working. I've also tried calling this.getBytesLoaded/Total within the onEnterFrame and as ic_mc.getBytesLoaded alone, but it returns 4 and my picture is 40k. I've also tried pic_mc.onLoad, but it never advances. I think it is trying to get the width before it loads, but how do I prevent that?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Find Width Of Dynamic Clip?
Feb 17, 2009I am creating an upload and view function for my canvas website. The website lets you upload an image and view what it would look like on the wall. As the images are dynamically loaded I need to find the width of the image so that I can position it in the correct place.
The dynamic images are loaded into an empty movie clip called _root.canvas_preview
The code below works fine for finding the width of jpeg's when loaded into the canvas_preview movie but returns no value when the images are gif's, PNG etc. Does anyone know why this is or could suggest another way of finding the width of a dynamic movie clip. I am using Flash 8[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Find Width Of Loaded Image?
Oct 1, 2006What I want to happen is a movieclip of text aligns 20px to the right of the loaded img, similar to what padding does in css, the code I am using is: textFields._x = (picture._width+20); textFields is the movieclip of text and the image is loading into picture
What actually happens is the the text aligns to picture._width but before the image the image has loaded or I am not telling it the right place to look for ._width
I'll include the .fla in for convenience

ActionScript 2.0 :: Find Width Of External Jpg BEFORE It's Been Loaded Into Movie?
Feb 2, 2005How can I find the width of an external jpg BEFORE it's been loaded into my movie? I can easily find the width of it AFTER loading by loading it into an empty movie clip and returning the width of this AFTER the jpg has loaded using the _width command. But what I want is to find the width BEFORE loading.I have tried "trace(1.jpg._width);" but this returns undefined, obviously as 1.jpg is not an object from my library, it's an external file. Any other ideas anyone?!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Variable Width LoadBar?
Sep 12, 2007I have a loader mc which scales to the width of the Stage. The loader mc has 3 nested mc's.A bg mc, progressBar mc, and loadBar mc.The loader and all nested mc's scale properly when I test it in the flash IDE but once I place the swf in a html page then the width is not accurate anymore. Another issue is since the loader stretches across the stage it needs to resize correctly in fullscreen mode. Click here here to view the example

Actionscript 3 :: Find Which Variable Is Undefined? (flash Builder)
Feb 7, 2011A flash application in flash builder is currently throwing this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is not defined.
Not telling me which variable it is that's not defined, but note there are two spaces between 'variable' and 'is'. and it gives me some more feedback as to what lines of code are having trouble, but those lines are all within the actual flash/mxml packages and not any of the files in my own project.
I suspect it's related to my php data/services, but I don't see what variable would not be defined. I'm not very familiar with debugging, so I'm not sure how to determine with it where the problem is cropping up.

ActionScript 2.0 :: HitSize MC - Width Variable Not Working
Jun 19, 2008I have an mc that loads thumbnail images which are then displayed sequentially in a scroller. I have an array that contains the individual widths of the images and i can get them correlating to the specific images. However: when I try to change the hit size of the images (controlled by a hitSize mc which is just a red box) it won't change the ._width of the hitSize mc according to the variable.
This is what I can do:
Code:
hitSize._width = 100;
(which works)
This what I have:
Code:
hitwidth = _root.projectsB[this.menuNum]; //this is the individual width of the image being loaded
hitwidth = this.hitSize._width;
if I trace(hitwidth); I get the correct number, but the above code won't change the size of the mc.
