ActionScript 3.0 :: Change MC In Another Stage
Jan 26, 2010
I have a shell SWF that contains two empty movie clips - one is the navStage and one is the contentStage. I am loading one SWF into the navStage and a default SWF into the contentStage.Now I'm trying to have a button in the navStage change the SWF loaded in the contentStage. I know in AS2 you could reference _root.[stage] to do this, but it seems to be trickier in AS3.[code]As you can see, I'm trying to unload the movie currently in the "contentStage" and load a new movie.I'm very new to this and am trying to convert an existing site from AS2 to AS3 that follows this basic principal.

I've been working on a project that requires lots of scaling around a center point.
I always thought that stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight give you the dimensions of the stage you set in the properties panel no matter what. But when I went into fullscreen mode (with scaling), both the width and the height changed to the dimensions of the screen rather than staying the dimensions I specified.

I have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.

I want to read width and height from XML and then change the stage size based on these numbers in an EXE file of Flash. Imagine the main size of flash application is for example 1024 x786. I write a code which interact with user as touch screen and all startup data(like image file names and key coordination) come from an XML file. My problem is, for different PCs, I must set the size of application manually. Some touch screens have different ratios like 1280 * 400! The only way is set the stage size on startup the application butstage.staheWidthandstage.stageHeightdont change anything for me.

I have an html page that loads a swf that loads an AS 3 animation with 4 dozen 60k jpgs that rely on the tween class to move them across the screen.
I'd like to start the empty stage at 10px, and after the jpgs load, animate the height to 142px, pushing down the html underneath and run the parade.

Let me try to explain what I'm doing. I have multiple movieClips (mc_aitkin, mc_anoka, there will be a lot more) on the stage that I want to change their alpha using data from an xml when it loads. I can isolate the info I want and trace it so it shows in output, but I'm not sure how to use it from there.
I've tried to convert the xml data to a number and do an if/else as shown below, but the only output I get is "not" (from a trace). So I'm guessing the if/else isn't recognizing the xml data as a number?
If I can resolve that, the next step will be to apply this function to the large number of mc's I'll have on the stage. Would that be with something like e.currentTarget.alpha = .5; ?? I don't think I can put it in the same changeAlpha function because there the property of 'e' would be undefined.[code]...

Say that, I have a basic image galery using xml file as image sources. After a time I replace images in xml file by a different image group with higher dimensions. At this point I want my swf file to adopt new height and width values. How can this be done ?I tried but failed In Flash help files, it says as read-only properties for Stage.height and Stage.width, but because I'm not an AS guru I thought that there should be a way t

i'm using AS3 and I'm trying to change the stage dimensions to get bigger when I press a button. The current dimensions are 550 x 700, and I thought the code:import flash.events.MouseEvent;btn.addEventListener(Mouse Event.CLICK, makeStageBigger);function makeStageBigger(evt:MouseEvent) {stage.stageWidth = 800;stage.stageHeight = 900;}would work, but nothing happens. I'm getting no errors or anything, but when I click the button, it doesn't work.

I'm new to flash in general, and wanted to try making a game using it. It's surprisingly addicting (I've gotten to the point of having an endlessly scrolling background with a moveable ship) but am having some trouble.I am currently making my first flash-based game using actionscript 3.0. However,I've come across a hurdle that I have not overcome: changing stages.I am making a SHMUP (it doesn't look very good, but I'm making it for experience) which has everything going from left-to-right ala R-Type.I have an endlessly looping background, but at the end of the stage I want to change the background, as well as all the enemies (they get upgraded per level) and enemy spawning positions.
how to change my background to simulate a different stage?how to make the new stage's spawn points different from the old one? Do I need to use another .as file for it, or do I just need to modify the code I have

We I have a preloader that plays behind my transparent movie clip and I want to change the stage to black
when I go to Full Screen. From what I have found most people use a black box but that won't scale in FS.
So does anybody have another solution for changing the background color with AS.

I didn't find that my flash is larger than the browsering area on screen until I publish and preview it in my browser but I do want all the content to be displayed on the screen. All I need to do is to move everything up for about 150 px.(in other words, to shorten the stage by 150 from the top but I can only cut the stage from the bottom ) Is there a way I can change the position of the stage like what I can do to the artboard in AI?

I think I did this before but can't find the code. Flash as many other graphical frameworks use the top-left corner as the coordinate origin (0,0) because it's how the underlying memory model is by convention. But it would be really simpler for my calculations if the origin was in the center of the stage, because all the game revolves around the center and uses a lot of trigonometry, angles, etc. Is there some built-in method like Stage::
setOrigin( uint, uint );
or something like that?

One of my client want to make a complete dynamic interface. where he can able to edit all through the admin module. Even the Stage size. once he change in admin module it will generate one xml file. from which i am fetching all the information. Now i don't have any idea that whether it is possible to change the stage size dynamically on fly. He want only one standalone swf no supporting files.

I have two boxes on the stage. These two boxes together are converted to graphic. Each of the box - lets called "A" consist of some kind of surrounding (the line around the box for which we set up[ stroke) which I will cal "B". And inside that box theres another box of different color - I will call it "C", with different surrounding - call it "D".
(It is inside the first one).The other box from that graphic looks the same, but has different names. "E","F","G",and"H" respectively. All of the elements "A","B","C",and "D" forms a button. I have some code to use it.(with event listeners) My question: If I would like to change the colour of the element "B" (which are a movie clip), how will I code it.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.Timer;
var urlLoad:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
[Code] .....
And it tells me: Access of undefined property B...
The code works fine for whole button(A). A changes color, but I would like only the surrounding to change the color. I guess I have to put some path in there, but I am not really sure how to.
