ActionScript 3.0 :: BorderContainer - Get The Width That Is Visible On The Screen?
Jun 1, 2011
I'm programmatically creating a spark BorderContainer in ActionScript and filling it with a few labels. After I make it visible, it's width is 298 pixels. However, I only know this because I'm taking a screenshot and measuring the width. If I trace() the width, or explicitWidth, or measuredWidth, or getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth(), or getLayoutBoundsWidth() ... ad nauseum ... the reported width is always 42 pixels. Without fail. how the hell I can get the width that is visible on the screen? It's absolutely ridiculous how easy this should be, but isn't.

It's probably a no brainer, but I've spent the last 40 minutes or so looking for it to no avial.
I have a Canvas control with a fixed width and a horizontal scrollbar.I'm trying to find the actual width of the control.The .width (fixed width) + the part being revealed by the scrollbar.I tried explicitWidth, width + maxHorizontalScrollPosition, and some other combos but non of them hit the spot.

The problem that I'm facing is in regards to the width of a sliding menu that I've created. The menu slides based on mouse x position and width of the movie. I would like the menu to fit to the entire screen regardless of the users resolution. I wanted to know if there's a way to detect a users screen width and then adjust the variable for screen width within my actionscript .fla if necessary.

I have a flash app that contains a lot of data. Part of it has a video. I want to have an option to expand just the video to full screen mode. I have this working now, however it scales it proportionally based on the size of my flash app. Instead of doing that, how can I expand it to be 100% of the screen width?
Code:
function goFullScreen(base):void
{
if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
[Code]....

I have a ScrollPane with two textfields and UIScrollbars. I set the dimensions so that everything fits in the ScrollPane width-wise perfectly (i.e. without the horizontal scroll bar appearing). However, the horizontal scroll bar does appear. When I scroll to the right, there is nothing additional there. If I remove the UIScrollbars, the bar disappears, so theres the root.
If I trace the objects under the mouse in that empty space I get:
>> instance357 : [object Shape]
>> instance359 : [object Shape]
>> instance358 : [object MovieClip]
>> instance355 : [object ScrollPane_upSkin]
>> instance184 : [object ScrollPane]
The two scrollpane objects I understand. The MovieClip I am pretty sure is a part of the upSkin since it shows up everywhere the upSkin shows up. The two shapes are what I think is at issue here.
My assumption is that there is a non-visible component of the UIScrollbar that is inside the container Sprite. Based on what I know of the UIScrollBar's components, I am thinking it is the focus Rectangle, but I have no idea if that's accurate or how to test it. All I know is whatever is causing the problem appears to be exactly 100 pixels wide. Is there a way to set a maximum width of a Sprite or remove the horizontal scroll bar of a scrollpane? If not, is there any other creative means to get rid of my horizontal scroll bar?

In many cases the pieces have artifacts outside of their visible area. For example, a piece can have a picture of a dog's face, but one of the long ears is off to the side, outside the visible region of the piece. The path data is extremely detailed, so our designers didn't crop it off. They used a mask (at least I think it's a mask, I'm not a graphics guy and know little about that stuff) and this makes it invisible in Flash, when we turn them into movie clips. Also, in Flash when I look at the width and height of the piece, it does reflect only the visible area.However, in ActionScript when I try to get the width and height using, for example
Code:
pieceObject.width
I get the width of the piece including the part that is hidden, i.e. a larger width than the visible area.Is there a way in AS 3.0 to get the height / width of the bounding box of visible area only?

I've got the following situation, where I have an outer Vbox that is set at a fixed width, and then inside it there is a header made from an HBox and a content area (Canvas) that is much wider than the enclosing VBox (and therefore requires scrollbars on the outer VBox to see it all).
I would like to set the width of the header to fill the entire width of the outer container, but only the visible part, and to remain fixed so that when I scroll to view the content, the header doesn't move.

I tested my skin for YouTube Chromeless player, and seems it worked properly.All graphic elements, including TLFTextFields, are stored in external SWF, all the AS3 code - in loading SWF.I use ProLoader class to load SWF.However, when I tried to attach Player skin code to my Home Page code, I immediately bumped into two issues:
1. TLFTextFields ceased to display proper font;
2. YouTube Chromeless player ceased to enlarge up to Full Screen width in Full Screen mode, whereas all publishing settings were kept the same...
Although I managed to cope with TLFTextField bug by replacing instances with vars in loaded SWF, I have no the slightest idea what to do with those paddings in Full Screen mode... Neither removing all children on stage before loading YouTube Player skin, nor compulsory resetting player's size can't make it work...

Has anyone got any alternatives to what Colin Moock has coded to GET VISIBLE WIDTH/HEIGHT OF A DISPLAY OBJECT in ActionScript 3? That esp. in perspective of DisplayObjects that have 3D transforms applied and visible dimensions of which you need to consider for a calculation.

When I publish my FLV video using Flash CS3 and the "SkinUnderAll" option...the player controls are not visible unless I change the height & width in the html file Flash created.But, Flash shows the height & width 3-times in the html.
Question-1: Why 3-times? What does each of the 3 Height & Width references do?
Question-2: How should I modify the code to be able to see the entire video and the player controls?
It seems if I change all 3 everything just gets bigger and bigger.
1 - I import it into Flash CS3 on a PC w/XP Pro using... File | Import | Video take all the defaults and choose "Skin Under All" as the player option.
2 - In "Properties" panel at bottom of screen Flash shows the video as 640x480
3 - I then click File | Publish to publish the video. Flash creates all my files for me.
MyVideo.fla
MyVideo.flv
MyVideo.html
MyVideo.swf
SkinUnderAll.swf
AC_RunActiveContent.js
4 - I then put the folder with the files on my website.
5 - The video plays but the player controls are not visible.
6 - I see the Height & Width referenced 3 times in the html file Flash created for me (and none are 640x480, they are 550x400 !)
7 - I try changing the 550x400 to 640x480 in all three places... no good. Even at 1000x1000 the entire player is not visible. Everything just gets larger.
What are each of the 3 references to Height and Width in the html file Flash Creates and which should I change to simply show all the player controls?

I have a bunch of dots moving randomly on the screen. They are all copied and pasted versions of one MC with some script attached. Over the top of them is a giant invisible button. When I click the button (anywhere on thescreen) a VISIBLE button appears. When I click again (anywhere on the screen) I want all the randomly moving dots to move towards the VISIBLE button.

I have some AS that creates a movie clip and later tries to make it go away. However, _visible isn't working as I would think. Here's a sample: I create the triangle:
[Code]...
It doesn't work, however. So, I tried trace(triangle30._visible) both before and after the second chunk of code, and it does indeed change from true to false. However, the movie clip is still visible on the screen.

i have a movie that is using a listener to align the items in the movie according the the size of the screen. However, in one instance I want say a 200h 200w box centered on the screen to stay 200 height but stretch to the width of the screen, animated over say 12 frames. I know how to set the box._width = Stage.width; which will give me the available stage width but it automatically sets it there before the animation takes place. is there a way to make a movie clip where the box starts at 200h 200w and ends with 200h Stage.width

I'm sure there are a million posts on this, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the wording under which they are classified.I am trying to get my site to scale so that the width is 100% the width of the screen, and the height, if there's more than can be viewed, is cut off. No scrolling. If I simply use the 100% width property, it seems to also give height at 100% value, so this way the whole site fits on the screen, but there is empty space on the right and left which is not what I want. Does this make sense how I've worded it?

How would I make it so that Flash will only tile this one line horizontally to fit the width screen, instead of the whole stage? (Right now it tiles Y as well as X)
Code:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
var tile:Sprite = new Sprite();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, reTile);
function tileBG():void{
tile.graphics.beginBitmapFill(new Tile(0, 0));

I need to round at only the top or bottom of a border container not all four corners, is their some CSS that I can use or do I have to create two new skins. I was reading their used to be a property for this for HBox back in the old days, is their not a property for BorderContainer now?
