I have a fla-file where the user can draw a line. I don?t know how to rotate this line properly. The line just moves around when I click the button to rotate. Is there a way to rotate a line created dynamicallyjust a bit?
View 2 RepliesI want to rotate a dynamically created textfield, i opened "flash help" and took the sample code i found below (i changed the font with "Verdana"). But it seems that the font cant be embed and it dissapears.
Code:
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "Verdana";
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160, 120);

I'm adding a line to a canvas using canvas.moveTo(0, 0); canvas.lineTo(100, 100);, but I then want the user to move the mouse to set the rotation of the line.Google suggests using the rotation property,but I don't have a reference to the line object.Can I get a reference to the line or should I rotate the whole canvas?
View 3 RepliesI'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);
Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.
View 2 RepliesI want to rotate a line around a point in flex 4.0, i tried rotationX and all but whole line rotates and center of point is lost. How to rotate only one end point of line keeping the other constant?

in action script3, how we can rotate a line from both its vertices.. i mean if a line has two vertices say 1 and 2 . on holding the vertex 1 line should rotate with its axis on 2 and vice versa.
View 2 RepliesI have a sprite on the stage let's say a square, when the user clicks anywhere I want the sprite to rotate toward the mouse. Here is the code I'm using
Code:
var dx = mouseX - square.x;
var dy = mouseY - square.y;
var radians = Math.atan2(dy, dx);
square.rotation = radians * 180 / Math.PI;
This works fine if the registration point is at the center of the square. The problem is the reg point is at the upper left corner of all my sprites.How do I rotate the square so that it looks like it's rotating around it's center? Or do I have to just change the reg point in all of my sprites?
What do I do to make this rotate the line_mc move clip in a counterclockwise rotation when I scroll the mouse wheel up instead of down. Currently it rotates the movie clip in a clockwise fashion regardless of which way I scrool the mouse wheel.

I'm creating receives xml from the asp server its on.Because of this, there isn't an xml file that I can open and add to in the places I need carriage returns.To compensate for this, I've been using the split and join method.[code]Essentially I'm looking for certain nodes in the xml and adding a carriage return to the beginning of it.I had to add the extra quotes around the otherwise it doesn't work.The problem with this is, the carriage return works but it leaves the single quotes in the text.I tried adding another split join method that looks for the single quotes left and replaces them with nothing.The problem with this is, it deletes all the single quotes from the contractions.

Movieclips created on the stage and instanced behave differently from dynamic movieclips in that they are destroyed when you go to the next frame (I have a stop on every frame). If I create that same movieclip dynamically then it will stay on the stage forever regardless if I go to the next frame or not. I understand that it needs to be removed from the display list but I can't find any event that is fired on a next frame basis. I could use onEnterFrame but at 30 fps, that's alot of overhead. The idea is to have all the code contained in my .as file.
