ActionScript 2.0 :: Get The Correct Position Of The Textfield Within The Movieclip?

Oct 29, 2003

I have two dynamic textfield and they are both within two movieclips because I have action to rotate , enlarge and move the related movieclip so that the text changed accordingly. But there is problem like after I record the position after modification to database and retrieve them back to the flashpage. The position of the movieclips are changed or maybe it is the textfield's position within the movieclips are changed which I have no exact idea what happened.

So could any one who can give some suggesion how should I arrange the textfield within the movieclip and how to keep track of the right position after enlargement or rotations,etc then? Isn't it I have to consider the relative position of the textfield to the movieclip at the beginning. Becuase I have no exact idea how should it work.

Force A SWF From Top Left Corner To The Correct Position?

Sep 27, 2009

how to force a SWF from Top left corner to the correct position.. When I tried to use a container it made the external swf not work at all, though it was in right position

WITH THIS CODE, THE SWF LOADED BUT JUST IN WRONG POSITION :
on (release) {gotoAndPlay(4);
loadMovie("gallery.swf",1);
}

then when I used a EmptyMovieClip it came in as the attachment.

Is there any other way to still use the LoadMovie() and adjust the x and y positions?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create An Instance At The Correct Position?

Oct 22, 2010

basically, I am trying to create an instance at the correct position. I understand that I will have to utilize globalToLocal() and/or localToGlobal() to get relevant positions, but for some reason, I can't position the instance at the correct location. here is the codes:

parent class:

Code:
//create bullet
bulletList.push(new Bullet(100, 100));
addChild(bulletList[bulletList.length - 1]);
Bullet class:

Code:
x = localToGlobal(new Point(pX, pY)).x;
y = localToGlobal(new Point(pX, pY)).y;

pX and pY are the arguments for the Bullet Class. When I do this, it is shifted over 100, so the absolute position being x = 200, y = 200, and the local position being x = 100, y = 100.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Fluid Layout Stop Changing Resize Position When Movieclip Is At Certain Position?

Nov 19, 2009

I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.

I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:

Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);

[code]...

But it seems futile.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip To Move To The Position Of Each Of Buttons From Any Position?

May 13, 2010

I'm hoping someone can solve this headache. Basically, I want a movieclip to move to the position of each of my buttons from any position along my x axis. Therefore, the movieclip needs to 'flip' to face the way it is traveling.At the moment I have the movieclip moving to the mouse x axis when I ROLLOVER the button and stop following the mouse when I ROLLOUT but the code won't flip the movieclip so I must have something wrong...

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,followCa t);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,follow Cat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat );

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting A Position Of Movieclip Called Red X And Y Position?

Jul 3, 2009

setting a position of movieclip called red x and y position within a movieclip called background

Code:
background.redsquare.x = 300;
background.redsquare.y = 300;

comes up with TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

setting a position of movieclip called red x and y position withen a movieclip called background

Code:
redsquare.x = 300;
redsquare.y = 300;

This works fine but how can that be when surely you must access the red withen the background rather then just accessing red?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Save The SoundChannel.position Number (and Also Call SoundChannel.stop()) In Correct Time

Dec 6, 2008

I just finished a simple music player... For testing purposes. I upload it in the following address:http:[url]....with 10 music songs that I had recorded from radio stations(added the last 2 twice for testing).The problem is that when a song has totally loaded, stop action taken needs about 1 second to be applied!I.e. When I press "STOP", the sound continue to play for 1 sec before stop. When I push "pause" it takes one second for the music to stop!

However when using resume (second time pause) the sound starts instantly! Thus I guess there is an issue with stop()function of the SoundChannel object that I am using to stop the sound. Also notice that when unpause the music, it continue ~one second before the last sound - which means that I saved the soundChannel.position number (and also call soundChannel.stop()) in correct time, but it didn't stop immediately - bug!?

This only happens when the application runs through a browser(plugin v. 10) - programmed in CS3.

PS1. Notice that ,this also happens when I change Volume too. Thus because Stop and Volume are parts of SoundChannel, I guess there might be a bug with SoundChannel in online plugins..... :/

PS2. Notice that ,this also happens when I close the browser (firefox). Even if browser is closed the music continue for 1 sec the same way as when pressing stop!.. Thus I guess it's flash bug!...

IDE :: Way To Get 'MovieClip' To Move From Position A In Keyframe 1 To Position B

Feb 3, 2010

What i'd like to do is have a menu/site map that adjusts when you click on a certain icon. For example, I have a AS3.0 flash file with, say, 5 keyframes with 5 buttons that are in different positions on each key frame. The buttons are set to gotoAndPlay the various keyframes. I can set up a tween that links frame 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc. but what I would like is a tween from, say, 1 to 3, then 3 to 5, then 5 to 1 - basically in a random order rather than sequentially through the key frames. I could set each of these tweens up individually but the site is for a portfolio that I would like to keep adding to and to do this individually would mean an ever increasing amount of tweens.Basically, is there a way to get a 'MovieClip' to move from Position A in keyframe 1 to Position B in another keyframe without a set of tween frames? I'm sure this is simpler than I am making it sound but I don't seem to be able to work it out.

Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?
