ActionScript 2.0 :: MyMovie._height On Dynamic Content In That Movie
Apr 17, 2008
I have a movie that I am loading text into. The textbox is set so the text flows downward. In an ifStatement further down, I am trying to see how tall that movie is(depending on how much text goes into it) to see if I should attach a scrollbar for the movie. If I trace the hight, it tell me that the movie is 200 high, which is the size that I created the textfield in that movie. But when the text is in it, it is actually much taller. How can I get an accurate reading of how tall it is, after the text is loaded into it?
This is probably just a brainfart but when I publish the code below, my hitTest is triggered by the entire movieclip from 0,0 to _width, _height and not by it�s content. The �fwa� movieclip contains some txt that I broke apart, and I only want the hitTest to run when the �mc� hits the txt within the �fwa� movieclip!
[AS] var i:Number = 0; var count:Number = 0; var colorArr = ["0x99cc33", "0xff0066", "0xffcc00", "0x33ccff"];
I want to build a xml news with images, the image path is there in XML. Image serve as thumb, and then news title and content below...if we have 3 item as news, we all stack it vertically and using scrollbar to sroll content below. done that, but...this time, I want to use different kind of HEIGHT of the images, so my vertical scrollbar can scroll them down. my previous file,I load a fixed height, so stacking will not a problem. For instance if we know that the max thumbnail is 150pixel, then its easy, after XML loaded,I run a function to stack them, let say the next news Text(title & decs) is 150px + 10pixel as vertical offset.
However, if I dunno the next image's height, flash seems cannot detect the height of the PhotoMC where we load images to.so we cannot execute all in one frame, I heard we can achieve this using listener.my pseudocode is something like this
Code: Select allloading News XML Process XML Detect Thumb?if Yes,[code].......
how to achive this? So I can detect the dynamic pics_mc._height being loaded and stack them properly?
Basically I've got a movie clip on the stage called loader_mc, I am loading a picture from the server into it with:loader_mc.loadMovie('http:[url]....');I am then trying to to take a snapshot of the image using:
dummyBMP = new flash.display.BitmapData(loader_mc._width, loader_mc._height); dummyBMP.draw(loader_mc); dummyBMP seems to be empty after this though, and I notice that loader_mc._width and loader_mc._height have a value of zero. The picture is visible on the stage despite this though.Anyone know where I'm going wrong?
The images are uploaded with an html form onto the server and their path names are loaded into a .txt file for my flash AS to use.The problem I am having seems to be either server lag or browser issues (catching perhaps?).I manage my content via the CMS and once returning to the flash movie it is either old content, half working or just doesn't work, period.What is interesting is that once I locate the text file and view/refresh it manually, it works 100% fine. Now, it's obviously not a very useful set up if I have to manually refresh my txt files so is there a way, (php?, Java? etc?) to refresh these files?
I have an application (actionscript) that displayes a slideshow from dynamic content written in xml. The slideshow runs in flashplayer. Now i have been asked to display the content as a video file format.
I have created an application that lets the user dynamically edit the content of an online greeting. I want the application to be able to duplicate the edited greeting 4 times, so the printed page will contain 4 exact duplicates.
I tried using duplicateMovieClip, but it would not duplicate the dynamic content edited on runtime.
I was able to use attachBitmap and "capture" the screen content, only to find out the resolution of the duplicates was far from being acceptable (I guess because screen resolution is only 72 dpi, and I need it to print nicely).

I have this project with a movie clip I'll call MyMovie. The movie is a simple tween. I also have a set of button controllers that will start, pause and rewind the movie when clicking on the icons. These icons are movie clips with instance names of goButton, pauseButton, etc. I have no problem controlling the MyMovie animation with the icons until I convert the normal tween to action script. I follow the normal procedure of coping the Motion to Actionscript 3, removing the tween, and making the animation play with the actionscript. But I can't figure out how to make the buttons control MyMovie. It looks like the instance of MyMovie isn't behaving like a tweened movie.
[code]...
Works fine with the action is tweened but when the motion is converted to actionscript it has no effect. Making MyMovie a child seems to have no effect. It seems like once the AnimatorFactory scripts start running the array's you can't stop them. I must be missing something simple.
how it is possible to edit dynamic content and modify the content and save it, all within flash.I have tried some experiments in the past and have got the text to change etc which is easy but i need a way to save the content so the next time anybody sees the flash it will have the latest content until i change it again.
This does change the width, but the line gets thicker (height is increasing) as the width increases. Why is this happening, and how can I keep it from happening? I want only the length of the line to change, not its thickness.
I have the following code to populate a dynamic text box:
[Code]....
My problem is that I need to get the autosized height instead of the regular height of the text box before autosize. In a parent movie clip I have the following code to do some custom scrolling:
Attached is a FLA in which a target onPress gets a bullet hole attached to it and folds down. The fall down is made across five key-frames. In each frame the height (H) of the GIF, representing the folding target reduces this way:
instead trace(this._height) returns like this (and every time slightly different):
from frame 1: this._height=156 from frame 5: this._height=147 from frame 3: this._height=117 from frame 4: this._height=99 from frame 5: this._height=99
the problem seems to be caused by the cide line which attaches the bullet hole: this.attachMovie("bullet_hole_metal","bh"+i,i);
When this is commented out this._height traces correctly.
i know it's possible to check the _width and _height of a .FLV with the metadatainfo. BUT not every movie got this kind of info, how do i check this without the info or can i place a .FLV in his original size in the screen?
I'm having trouble getting the _width & _height of a jpeg loaded using loadMovie. I'm trying to reposition it (pseudo-registration point) for rotation in a container movie clip. If I use hard-coded numbers, it works fine. However, if I try to position it based on its _width and _height properties, it's no go... in fact, it doesn't even show up on stage.
I am using the ._height of a movieclip in my AS and for some reason one of these is coming back incorrect.It is off by 3.4 pixels.I can't see anything in the movie clip that would cause this.
I am new for Flash Action Script 2.0 .I have made one script to dynamically load the images depends on the data came from database.This images can be of any size in the directory.I want this images on perticular height and width.so i wrote like UserImage._xscale=35 and UserImage._yscale=47.but i do not get the image of that size.I tried to set _height and _width property the it is not displaying image.so what should i do to get the image of my size?
Is there a way to detect the _height and _width of a incoming image?
I'm going through a loop, duplicating movie clips with mask, loading an image, and squeezing it down to 100 x 100 for thumbnails. The client wants the thumbnails to be actual proportions but I used so many tweens and setup functions based on the 100 pixel width it's going to be a nightmare.
I have a movie clip that jumps around over the course of my movie using standard keyframe animation. At every keyframe, it calls a function that moves a dynamic text box on top of it, autosizes the text box, then alters the movie clip's _width and _height to fit that of the text box.
The problem is, while the resizing code works fine and the text always fits, the act of altering the _width and _height seems to cancel out the keyframed positioning. The movie clip changes size, but it's forever locked to the position of the first keyframe.
and I'm using it to pass a txt file to a dynamic text field ( page_body ) inside a MC ( float ). When the text field was on the main timeline, this approach worked great, but now all that appears in the text field is:
Currently I already have a swf which is pulling parameters from a xml file. Just wondering if an asp cms can rewrite this xml file, so that the swf file is controlled by the cms. Or I should have the CMS directly provide parameters to the swf file, in other words, there is no xml file inbetweet swf and cms. Or there will be other methods..?
I am attempting to dynamically display a series of questions with answers in my flash movie from an existing ASP page. Initially, the dynamic questions imported from an ASP page appear on the Flash page (question 1, 2, 3, etc.). When the user clicks on a question, the flash movie advances a frame and displays the answer. I can display the questions properly, but I am having a difficult time carrying over the question ID to the next frame so that the appropriate answer will display.
The current database fields look like this:
-QuestionID -Question -AnswerID -Answer
This is very simple to do in ASP or PHP but I am having a tough time trying to tie everything together in Flash. Should I create two separate ASP pages, one to query the questions and one to query the answers? How do I carry the QuestionID to the next frame in Flash?
I would like to create a Flash menu but want to load HTML inside a targeted div on the same page dynamically without refreshing. I've seen several people say iframes can be used but I would prefer to stay away from iframes and use divs if possible. I'm guessing some fancy javascript would be required?
I'm loading images into an otherwise empty MovieClip called container_mc using UILoaders and spacing them horizontally. I also have the image names as TextFields below the images all within the container. I'm masking the container clip using the following syntax:
This USUALLY works, but for some reason when I load over 20 images into the container -- the mask no longer works. At first it appears as though it's working but then the text disappears and when I mouse over the images to scroll them horizontally, the mask (which is magenta) appears and disappears -- flickering strangely. Should I be caching? I was under the impression I had to for the dynamic text to show up. Maybe it's the where I placed the code (load-order)?
I'm using CS3 and i wrote a in actionscript 3 an .as file that sends a request to a server and gets as a response an xml file. After loading the xml i create dynamically i big number of questions each one of them with some possible choices for the user to select(Radio buttons). The problem is that i have about 40 questions with about 120 radio buttons to show the user but only 5 fit the screen and the others are not visible. Can anyone give me a help using scrollpane or something else so i can give the user a way to see all of the questions and radio buttons available?
A client asked me to make him a flash presentation file in order to put it on a cdrom and distribute it to his clients.He asked me also to make the presentation file dynamic so it is easy for him to update the content of the presentation and distribute it anew, when there is a change of the content.If it was a web based presentation, I could use php to read folders and populate the data in his presentation file (I had in mind to put folders relative to the file with the content in it ("client_description.txt", photos, "work_description.txt", etc.)). But now that the file he needs is a presentation file. Is it possible to have as3 read the folders of the cdrom?Do you have another proposition to make in order for the making of a dynamic presentation file?
