how I can change the X and Y positions where the ContextMenu displays. I know you can do it with the display() method, but not sure how to implement it. My code, so far:
ActionScript Code:
var my_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
my_cm.hideBuiltInItems();

A display object container on the stage has some bitmap images of sizes 50x50 arranged in a order one by one. Now if i click on any of the thumbnail image (bitmap) the entire container should move and position itself so that, the bitmap image clicked is placed in the center of the stage.
View 1 RepliesI am using a ContextMenu for an AdvancedDataGrid in my application. I could implement the normal context menu for the grid. Now, I am planning to make the context menu dynamic.For example, if I click on a particular cell, I need to see only the items related to that cell in the Context Menu. Is there any way we can do that?

If I have several items that move across the screen but the user can click any of them at any time, how do I record the current position of any of the items item in order to use that data to change the position of the item after the user clicks?
This is what I am doing: I have 11 images that slide accross the screen. The user can click any of them at any time. When he clicks one I am scaling the image so it looks like it is comming forward (z axis) and then the rest of the images are scaled down so it looks like they are going back on z axis. So what I am trying to do is get the current position of the image when the user clicks the image so that I can use that to correctly estimate the scaling and moving of the image to make it look like it scales from the center and not from the top left corner. So if have a variable that gets the current position of the image being clicked I'm thinking I can change its position using something like: x = currentposition + -45;
hey guys i have 6 moveable objects, what i want is to be able to click a button and a text field appears that displays the x and y co-oridinates off each object, is this possible and if so is there a way also i could have another button where the user inputs the numbers he wants from x and y and the objects will go to that posisition

or
app.questionmark1.x = posX;

I have a difficult question to explain. I have a class file that loads an external XML file, parses the main nodes into an array, then creates a movie clip instance for each of the main nodes and creates text fields inside of the movie clip instance based on the child nodes in the XML.
Each movie clip instance that is added dynamically has a movie clip embedded in it that acts as a tab. I update the dynamic text of this embedded movie clip based on the name of each main XML node.
Now where I am getting stuck is that I have attached an event listener to each tab movie clip that is inside of each dynamically created movie clip. What I want to do is when the user clicks this tab have that movie clip move to the top of the display list on top of all the other dynamically created movie clips. My problem is that I don't know how to get the references correct.
When I create the movie clips dynamically I store the objects in an array. The problem appears to be that the event is fired for a movie clip inside of the dynamic movie clip so I don't know how to reference the parent movie clip. Maybe it is something else but I don't know how to make reference to the main movie clips that I want to swap.
I hope that makes sense. My main question is how do I use the swapChildren or setChild functions when the movie clip clicked is located within the movie clip I want to change in the display list as well as the fact that this movie clip was created dynamically.

I've made an image slider in flash and need it to slide out at it's current position before changing scenes.
The code i'm using is -
onClipEvent(load) {
_root.newXpos = 0000
speed = 10
[code]...
I need the '_root.newXpos = 0000' to tell the movieclip to stay in the X position it is currently in (it will be different each time as the user can move the movieclip via buttons, so a simple Xpos = 0000 won't do)Alternatively, I've tried adding -
on (press) { _root.newYpos = 476.2;
if (_root.Ypos =476.2);
gotoAndPlay ("Pxcotos", 1);
}
on a button but the scene changes before the movieclip has a chance to slide out.
I have a movie with on stage three rows of three movieclips, so 9 in total. I would like to change their positions randomly (time interval function) to x- and y-coordinates in the way that they "shuffle" each time. So for example, mc01 changes position to the positions of mc08, while mc08 goes to another position etc. So 9 changes to fixed coordinates eacht interval.

I have 4 movieclip in the stage. Its instance names are mc_1, mc_2, mc_3, mc_4.
To change the x position of this movieclip I can use the below AS 2.0 code. It is working fine.
for (i=1; i<=4; i++) {
eval("mc_"+i)._x += 10
}
I like to know how to write this statement in AS 3.0.
My question is fairly straight forward: Is there a way to move the position of the mouse?within confines of the stage)I tried changing the value of mouseX/mouseY but it shows the following errors:I:FlashFlash ClassesMazegameMaze.as, Line 98 1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property mouseX through a reference with static type game:Maze.I:FlashFlash ClassesMazegameMaze.as, Line 98 1059: Property is read-only.

View 1 RepliesI started using Flash again after a "brief" hiatus (the last time I used it, Flash was on it's MX version ).I am trying to create an animation in which I can move across the stage a simple object (a circle, a square or a star, for example) using buttons (left, right, up and down)This was fairly simple using AS 1, even when I was no expert. The thing is that those simple ways are no longer working with AS 3.I spent a few hours doing some research until I found this nice tutorial on this same site:
Code: http:[url]....
I followed the tutorial, and all was working nicely, but when I attempted to do the animation from scratch, it simply didn't work .I even used the same names for all the objects and instances, but still nothiing.
Is there any way to define a movieclip position which is already on the stage?

View 1 RepliesI have developed an application using various FMS2 Communication Components. One of those is the Chat component. The application has various display modes (minimized, normal, maximized). These display modes require the Chat component instance to be resized and repositioned on the screen. I took the approach of having a separate frame represent each of the display modes.
The problem I am having is that the Chat component won't resize or relocate from the size/position on the first frame. The visual layout isn't respected, and calling this.moveTo(x,y) has no effect either. The only way I can get the component to have the desired behavior is to comment out the last line of the Chat component actionscript[code]...
