Experimenting with adding a square shape inside a rectangle, in the following code, the compiler bounced the error: "Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type flash.display:Shape".
[Code]....
I am trying to place a rectangle Shape inside a square Sprite, as its child. But, the child rectangle show up outside the sprite, instead.
Also, the click handler event of the sprite reports the error "The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller".
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Shape;

Whenever I add shape hints to a shape tween the shape disappears in the between frames. I am using CS5 on Vista. I using files from [URL]to practice.
View 2 RepliesI would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?
I have drawn something onto a bitmap. But I now want to copy pixels in a shape other than a rectangle (as specified by copyPixels documentation) how would i do it? pull pixels line by line or something?
works: bitmapDatatemp.copyPixels(bitmapData, rectangle, new Point(0,0));
need: bitmapDatatemp.copyPixels(bitmapData, triangleetc, new Point(0,0));
I need to have a shape (black rectangle) that will cover the stage. It should resize with the stage when needed. I'm trying it with the following code, but when it's resizing, there is a clipping effect that is visible and it is not fluid. How can I prevent this?
Code:
Select all
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
var blinder:Shape = new Shape();

View 8 RepliesIf I draw a rectangle or trapezium, how might I go about drawing bitmap data into that shape? I need to give a slight perspective to a loaded photo. Native 3D rotations seem to leave the bitmap really blurry, and a full 3D engine is too heavy for this project.

View 3 RepliesSo I like the whole convert stroke to fill option in the Modify menu, but what if I want to apply a stroke to a fill?
In other words, if I created a circle, then delete the stroke, is there any way to the regenerate the stroke? I mean, if I press A I can see the contours of the fill - can I just turn that into a stroke? In the properties menu, if I click on stroke (which as its colour has the white box with a red diagonal line) it's all greyed out. Am I missing something obvious?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a modal pop up in my Flash application, not unlike the ASP.NET version seen here. I've already got the dialog box made, but I'm trying to add a semi-transparent gray rectangle over everything behind the pop-up, again like the one used in ASP.NET. Is there a way to do this in ActionScript? It needs to be semi-transparent, not fully, so you can still partially see what's behind it. I'm assuming you could apply this property to a Shape class somehow.
View 3 RepliesI had to create dynamic with AS some rectangular on stage using moveTO and lineTo. I had a button and when I press it should add a new rectangle on stage but it doesn't. Because the array that I am storing the MovieClip created are overriding I guess

button_name.onRelease = function() {
i++;

View 2 RepliesI have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;

I'm wondering how I can create a dynamic rectangle wich has some text in it, the text is dynamic so the rectangle has to adapt to the length of the text. How to approach this?
View 3 Repliesi need to check if a point is within a rotated rectangle. I have to do this mathematically, as none of the objects are on the stage so i can't use hitTestPoint. I know the position and rotation of the rectangle, and if necessary can get the four corners as points as well.
I kind of feel silly asking this, because i am pretty sure it's not a hard thing to do, i just can't work it out and so far any google searches just bring up hitTestPoint.
I have a class; "Game".I have a bitmap in the library; "Grass"I want to be able to run a function from the main timeline that uses the bitmap inside of a movieClip.My current attempt is as follows; I make an instance of "Game" and have an .as file for Game that has:PHP Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;

draw a shape on the stage, make it into a movieclip, registration point wherever, tl is fine, name it mc, and put his code:
trace(mc.getChildAt(0).y);
now get inside a movieclip and move that shape around (away from registration point) for example above registration point, or wherever and output will always be 0.
I'm facing another problem, this time I wan't to move a object around inside a shape.The red/orange rectangle is the supposed to be dragged around inside the gray shape,the rectangle shouldn't ever be outside the shape.

For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?
I draw a rectangle i should see a little bold circle to indicate a perfect rectangle, I seemed to lost mine, can somebody please tell me how to get it back!
View 2 RepliesI am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.
