When creating content for the web, I have certain elements I always want to be in view - no matter on what display or size it is being viewed from..How do I actionscript an mc, nested within a swf file to stay in a specified position / relative to the edge of a web browser
View 0 RepliesI would like to ask if it is possible using flash to upload multiple images to particular positions. For example, I have a target that is called "people" and when someone uploads an image that is called "people" the image will be placed on that target.
View 1 RepliesIn my flash application I want to slide a button on the y-axis of a kind of thermometer, but I want to establish fixed slider positions so you can only move the slider up and down from fixed position to fixed position.
I already use this bit of code with startDrag and stopDrag behaviours:

I've tried all the tutorials on kirupa, checked out adobe live docs, forums all the works and i've tried 20 different methods to open a browser window with a fixed width and height. i'm using Flash 8 and am wondering if there is a new method for opening a browser window with ixed params. it seems every tutorial i find is for flash 5 or earlier and none of them work. and i've tried opening them both in firefox and ie. the standard getURL _blank works fine of course...i just need to adjust the window size to scale to an image.
View 5 RepliesI have a full-browser background slideshow. To do this, I'm using some AS in conjunction with the handy dandy swffit. I would like to ensure that the slideshow scales appropriately with the browser window size (as it is currently doing), but I would lilke the location of my logo, which is in the lower left hand corner, to remain fixed so that it is not pushed out of view when the browswer gets scaled to a small size.
View 3 RepliesIm trying to make a button to open a link, in a new window, at a fixed size and without toolbars etc.
Ive searched these forums and looked for variuos guides, but to no avail. I cant get them to work =(. I found a guide(which I cant find again o0) on Kirupa but it didnt work either.
heres what I came up with:

how to get these to work? or a guide on one that works? or simply a script that will work?
IE 8 Flash CS4 v10 Windows XP Home SP3 (NOTE: The word "Resize" refers to an HTML change of the movie size; it does not refer to a Window resize)
Objective: Display a transparent 800x600 flash movie in IE, stretching movie to 100% width and height of webpage but keeping the objects within the movie from getting re-scaled. Objects are re-positioned at runtime via ActionScript with values meant to be relative to stage dimensions.
Problem: The movie resize is messing up the object re-positioning. The movie is indeed stretching to 100% of the width & height of the browser window's client area, but the objects are repositioned relative to something else (perhaps screen dimensions, but not sure). Result: Objects which were programatically positioned relative to original stage size are spaced way too far apart in IE, in some cases off the screen entirely, though they were not like this in the Flash editor.Question(s): Why are objects which were positioned within the original stage dimensions being kicked off the browser screen while the movie itself remains entirely on-screen even after resize? What dimensions/values are guiding the automatic post-resize repositioning of the objects? (These proportions appear to be different from the change in proportions of the movie itself.)
i have searched this and many other forums as well as the doc for the answer to this question. I have a flash movie in which I dynamically create a diagram at runtime. The size of the diagram varies, but I need to display it within a fixed size area on the HTML page. What I would like is for the stage to scroll dynamically based on the size of the diagram, but have no scrollbars at all if the diagram fits within the fixed area in the browser.
View 1 RepliesI'm attaching an swf to show what I'm talking about. But essentially, I have a full browser flash set up, with an animation running in the background. I would like there to be a horizontal navigation bar at the bottom that is always at the same spot on the bottom. I would like the width of the bar to always stretch to cover the entire bottom of the browser window. Right now everything is peachy except for getting the nav bar to stretch across. When I do a menu.scaleX = 100; The little text block I have on the left seems to scale off the screen somewhere and it is no longer visible.[code]...

View 3 RepliesI have thumbs placed on the stage. I create an empty mc to load swf. But my thumbs disappear from the stage when I test the movie ( html or swf) if I settle the _ and _y position of the empty mc.why the emptymovieclip positions affect the positions of my thumbnails?
View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip in the library that I am exporting for actionscript. I duplicate the movieclip by adding a child for each occurance of a tag in actionscript. This works fine, but I can't figure out how to change the y postion of each new child to be 30 pixels below form the last child. Here is a snippet of the code where I am having the problem:
for (var i in xmlData.region){ for (var k in xmlData.region[i].regionInfo.payment);
var mcRI:regionInfo = new regionInfo(); this.addChild(mcRI); mcRI.txtPayment.htmlText = xmlData.region[i].regionInfo.payment[k].card; mcRI.y += 30; }
}
Instead of each new child's y position changing +30, every duplicate is on top of each other at +30.
What I'm really looking to be able to do, is have a clip in the root move to the same x and y as a clip that is embedded into another movieclip. How would I pick up the X and Y co-ordinates of this embedded movie clip?
To summarise,
ClipA is embedded into ClipB, what I want, is for ClipC - that is based in the root - to match ClipA's position.
I have 52 (pack of cards) movieclips on stage all turned invisible When selected they turn visible. and need to display in one of five set positions (e.g. x and Y co-ordinates). If the first slot if full the card should be displayed in slot two. IF slot two is full the next dard displays in slolt three. I card two is then removed and a space left the next card chosen should go in there.
View 3 Repliesok I am having what I think is a targeting problem.I'm loading a swf into a blank container inside another movie (main). The AS in the loaded swf refers to positions of MC's in itself _x & _y etc.However once it is loaded, those positions are not true... ex. if the center of the swf is 200 by itself depending in where it is loaded, it might become 400 or any other number - reletive to the main movie's stage (I hope Im being clear).I need the AS in the loaded swf to refer to itself (x/y values relative to its OWN stage). So how do I target that? _root.MC.containerMC doesnt seem to work, but is this on the right track? Basically when an swf is loaded into another, does its _root now become the main timeline of the movie its loaded into???

I have a function that finds the position of a specific string.[code]...
But indexOf searches the string and returns the position of the first occurrence.I know there's a startIndex parameter but I dont know how to use it so that I could go through an entire string.
Like for example: " Hello there little boy. What's your name boy?"
How can I get the position of first boy word and then the position of second boy word ?

View 5 Replieswell i'm working on a small scale game and I appear to be coming across some small issues that I was hoping someone could help me with. I have this:
ActionScript Code:
if (_root.mc_player._x <= 540){
stop();
}else{
gotoAndStop(2);
}
in the frames actions.What I am trying to achieve is that when the players x position is greater than or equal to 540 it changes frame, I've tried various adaptations of this such as the following:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
if(_root.mc_player._x >= 540){
gotoAndStop(2);
}
mc_player is the instance name of the player (obviously :P) and when i enter the second code it just jumps straight to frame 2, so far it seems that the code is just setting the players x position at 540, so i tried setting it using actionscript like:
ActionScript Code:
_root.mc_player.x = 179
_root.mc_player.x = 143
it would set it at that and then the if the player reached the x position of 540 it would change frames but in that case it just didn't change frames.
I have flash 8(old school) so i am working AS2.i have a menu mc which is draggable along with 4 other mc's also draggable,each time i click an item on the menu I want to have all the mc's that are on the stage move to another position(rearranged) with easing.And so on for each item (keep in mind that all of the mc's are draggable and could be anywhere the user places them at anytime.)
View 0 RepliesFor some reason the "scaled.width" - the movieclip that have scaled already - after scaling it even more with TweenLite.to function by factor .3 aren't equal with the predicted result => scaled.width * .3. Orginal width is something I don't know but scaled width is something like 420. Now multiplying it by factor .3 the result should be something like 140, now when I put TweenLite.to function to scale my scaled movieclip by factor .3 the width in the end is something like 267.And frankly speakin I really can't imagine where the result came from.
Some back ground:I import three images dynamically. Each of them to their own MovieClip containers. I don't know the dimensions of images so I need to scale them proportionally to their dimensions to fit to the desired size.That was intuitively easy. I managed also to align them horizontally in the center of the screen after the first scaling by the knowledge that their registration point can be found from the top left corner. I also managed to align each of them on vertically in the middle of the 1/3 part of the empty stage with desired marginals: in the top there are 20 pixels space, between the images there are 20 pixels space and in the bottom there are 20 pixels space.
Now the problems comes when I need to tween them to their final positions. Each of them to the top of the stage and each of them in 1/3 part of the empty space horizontally scaled at the same time smaller with factor .3.Intuitively when I think the x position can be found by same way than the way I found y positions (related to the space left after the middle image is positioned). So in theory I thought the x position for the image that comes in the center should be as much as finalX = stage.stageWidth / 2 - current.width * .3 / 2(the center point of the stage minus the half of the width of the image after the scale)but when I give finalX for the tweenLite as a x position and .3 as a scaling factor the result is something different.
I have a navigation section built in Flash and am trying to position headers dynamically, based on variables passed from each page.
For example, the HTML on the HOME page, will have an swf with a variable like : nav.swf?dynHEAD=home
and NEWS will have a variable like : nav.swf?dynHEAD=news
then in flash, I guess something like this should work - but doesnt!
dynHEAD._x = 27;
dynHEAD._y = 211;

I know how to calculate the distance between two movieclips, but I want to know how do you keep a movieclip centered between two movieclips? For example, three movie clips evenly spaced out in a row. I drag either movie clip on the end and the one movie clip in the center positions it self to be in the center x and y wise.
View 9 RepliesI've just added in a bubble effect I found here. At the moment the script creates bubbles randomly across the whole width of the stage. I want the effect to only occur between two x positions, say 50 and 845, on the stage. This is the Actionscript I have at the moment.
function bubbles(){
xpos = Stage.width*(Math.random());
xpos = Math.round(xpos);
_root.attachMovie("bubble", "bubble"+xpos, 999+xpos);
_root["bubble"+xpos]._x = xpos;
_root["bubble"+xpos]._y = 299;
} interval1 = setInterval(bubbles, 50);
