ActionScript 2.0 :: Swf Refers To Positions Of MC's In Itself?
Aug 14, 2004
ok 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 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?

How can I replace
public function Mainclass()
{
Calculations.getDistance(5,9,4,2);
}
[Code]....
I'm not lazy (lying? :p), but I use the class more than 20 times, and it looks better if I replace al these long classnames.

I've got a problem... here's an example script:
[Code]...
Ok, so here's the problem. What happens in the above, is that I call 'loadTheXML()', it loads the xml file into xmlLoader and then runs the event handler 'onLoad'. My problem is here: once I get into the event handler 'this' refers to xmlLoader, not the class. Therefore, I have no way of calling wannaCallThis(). How do I call a member function of the class from inside the eventHandler?

Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Graphics;
public class Rail extends MovieClip
[code]...
this is a simple Rail class, what I am trying to do is take the for loop out of the timeline and build into the Rail class itself. How do I refer to the Rail class itself within the method? If I am doing this the wrong way please let me know! Would it be better if I created another class, say a "RailSpacing" class and build the for loop into the contructor into that?
Also, if I wanted to add depth to the rail(textures or something else to make it look real) and still be able to change the color without transforming the entire rail instance, what could I do ActionScript wise. I have come to the conclusion the only way to do this is creating a multilayered movieclip and target the base object and not the highlight/ shading layer.
Also, if I created a nice graphic/movieclip and exported it for ActioSncript, how can I find the class file and add too it? Is this even possible? Is it possible to draw something that is detailed and export it and then add some methods?

I have a client that is wanting me to create a flash website in which they can add products pages (product info, images, etc.) themselves after the website is completed. I will setup up the first few products then they will do the rest. Would I wanted to go with dynamic text and empty movie clips loading the images? If so how could I have this create a duplicate page that refers to the new text and image?

I've noticed there is something in AS3 that allows "shearing or skewing" of an object, but I was wondering if it's possible to do the equivalent of what Photoshop refers to as "transform>>perspective"

Bumped into a problem and don't understand why this is happening. I got _root timeline, there I placed mc.map (movieclip), inside it I got a button, and on that button I placed this code:
Code:
on (press) {
trace(this._name);
}
And in the output window I see the name of the movieclip instance ("map"). Why? I need it to refer to that button...

I 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.

what I am trying to do is calculate the position of a point along a curve, what I want to do is create a function where i am able to determine where a point intersects the curve when I provide an X value.I have created a simple diagram to illustrate what I am looking for:So assuming I know the x,y of each black dot, and the x of the red dot, how do I calculate it's y value?

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 ?

well 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.)

For 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.

I'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);
