ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Rectangle Sizes Smoothly?
Nov 8, 2011
Anwyay, what I want is for the user to hover over an object, then there is this a rectangle to the left that I want to change size. Is there an easy way to do this? I want the rectangle to become greater in width but maintain the same hieght/stroke and everything.Also I don't want it to just "pop" to the new size I want it to ease to the new size. Does that make sense? Like I want the user to see the rectangle grow in size depending on what object they hover over.

I would like to make a movie clip's height change when it is clicked. However, I can't figure out how to do it so that it smooth like a tweening.

I'm trying to take a 'snapshot' of a movieclip that i've got on the stage with "BitmapData" and then starting a "draw()" command on it. I'm able to get it drawing.. however.. it only takes the things from (0,0).( the upper left corner of the movieclip. Doing a trace on "BitmapData.rectangle" gives me it's X and Y coordinates .. and it's width and height..
How do I change the X and Y locations of the BitmapData for it to start the drawing from? As I have some stuff on the negative side of x.

I have a rectangle drawn
Code:
line1.clear();
line1.beginFill(0xFFFF00);
line1.lineStyle(4, 0x000000);
line1.moveTo(_root.point1._x, _root.point1._y);
line1.lineTo(_root.point2._x, _root.point2._y);
line1.lineTo(_root.point3._x, _root.point3._y);
line1.lineTo(_root.point4._x, _root.point4._y);
line1.lineTo(_root.point1._x, _root.point1._y);
line1.endFill();
line1._alpha=10;
updateAfterEvent();
After the rectangle is drawn I have a button that inactivates the points. I can now change the alpha of the rectangle but not the color. Is there a way to change the color of the rectangle line1? I have tried with
line1._color=0x000000;
But it doesn't work.

I have a rectangle and I want to change its border colour on mouse over, I have found a way to make it work but that redraws the whole rectangle, i am wandering is it possible to only manipulate border colour without redrawing rectangle?
PHP Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;var rect:Shape = new Shape();rect.graphics.lineStyle(3, uint("0x666633"));
rect.graphics.beginFill(uint("231f1c"), 1);
rect.graphics.drawRect(0 , 0 , 60 ,10 );
rect.graphics.endFill();

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 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.

I 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?

how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.

I'm building a flash website. I want the background to be a .jpg photograph which fills the entire area outside the browser. I understand that it is possible to scale background to fit different sized computers, but I don't understand how that doesn't distort the image when viewed on a widescreen computer. Is there some way tocreate a site that shows a portion of the image on a 800 x 600 monitor, a little more of the image on a 1024 x 768 monitor and even more a 1650 x 1050 monitor.

I'm new to AS 3.0 and CS4 and I've been getting up to speedon all of it. I've used the List component before with my owCellRenderer. I now need to create a list with different rowheights. The List component is great and does everything that Iwant but it requires all rows to be the same height.I'm unsure of where to go. Creating my own class seems like alot of work. The TileList and Grid components don't allow differentsized (and dynamically changing) row heights either. Is there somebase class (SelectableList? BaseScrollPane?) that I should extendor do I need to just bite the bullet and write it all from scratch?
I need each row to have it's own height and interaction witha row could change the height of the row. The main use is a list ofdata. If the user clicks in an item, it turns the display intosomething they can edit (which will need more height)I really like that AS 3.0 is much more consistent of aprogramming language than previous MX versions that I've used.We're doing a lot of AS/Flash/AIR work with it and it's turninginto a wonderful environment...

Im currently working on a project where I have a 92x92 pixel image that needs to tween into a 711x300 pixel image. The images are the same but cropped to these sizes via photoshop, imported into flash, then converted to graphic symbols. I want to have the 92x92 image tween into the 711x300 image.
I say tween, but the two tweens aren't working correctly, I can't seem to find a "crop" like function in flash that will let me adjust the large image for when its supposed to be small, then have it tween between the two sizes as i need them to.

Situation:I've got 2 swf files,1 is a preloader which loads the 2nd swf file, my site.Both of them, if started separately,work correctly.Problem:when I put the files together,linking the site's swf to the preloader,I get a null element error and the site loads no correctly.What I've understood :The preloader is ok, because I can remove the error message working on the site's swf AS code.In the preloader's code I have some lines to center its animation on the stage, I do that like this:
import flash.display.Stage;
var myStage:Stage = this.stage;
then using myStage.stageWidth and myStage.stageHeight I calculate the clip position
Also on the site's code I do the same to center a movieclip using exactly the same code, but it doesn't work and I've found that the problem is the myStage variable, not because it has the same name as the variable on the other file (I've tried to name it myFrame).It looks that on the site's swf the myStage variable can't be assigned and then results to be null.
Question: How can I obtain the stage's height and width since var myStage:Stage = this. stage; doesn't work?

I have an object that changes sizes dynamically but I want to keep it centred, I recall seeing a piece of code somewhere but I can't seem to locate it now, basically what the code did was use some getBound or math function to figure out how wide the object was, how tall it was and the figure out where the centre would be and then center it... i have a function an onstage resize function but i need to know how to keep this object in the middle of the stage.

What is a reasonable file size for a Flash wide skyscraper ad? I know the IAB is a max initial load of 40k for standard ad's, but what about Flash? Either I'm losing my mind or my client is for them wanting something under 30KB. I've used AS3 for almost all animation, I even killed all animation and I still can't get it under 30KB. Is there some kind of compression secret that I'm missing?I've compressed the images before import.I've reduced quality of the images inside Flash as much as possible without killing quality

How can i fix the ImageHolder (Movie Clip size) that holds the images loaded into it. At the moment I have sized the photos to the size I want, but if a photo is not that "Specific" size it will overlap my text next to it... How can I fix the size of this movie clip to show the images without it blowing out my design? I have sized all the images to: 230px x145px If they are not this size the design will not work, I need to fix the window to 230px x145px

I'm running Flash CS4/AS 2.0 on Mac OS X. I keep my work files on a flash drive. One of these FLA files is a parent (container) movie that, when compiled, results in a SWF that is 6,983 bytes.
I saved a copy of the FLA source file to the Desktop, recompiled, and the SWF size was only 1,773 bytes (much better, since the movie only has a static preloader and some ActionScript).
I'm guessing this is because Flash has to copy some default class information(?) to compile the movie because the source file and Flash CS4 are on different drives.
Do I need to copy the class files to the external drive and map to that path in Preferences?

I am developing a ipad game using flash CS5. When I run it in flash or web browser, it run quite smoothly but when I published it into ipa file and run it on my own ipad, it became very very slow. Since my game has many stages and characters, the amount of symbols may up to more than 50. That makes the flash file more than 100mb (but the ipa is only 11mb) All of the symbols are exported in frame 1.
1)if I used preloader and exports the symbols in frame 2, will my game run more smoothly? is one preloader when the game is loaded enough? or it is need for every game scenes?
2)Is there any other technique that a big game developed in Flash has to follow in order can be run in low configurations devices?
3)Why many other big game can run so smoothly although it contains a lot more characters and background than mine?

Right I have a movieclip called Menu1 and I currently have a function that when called moves that movie clip to a set of co-ordinates. The function is run on a onEnterFrame. The codes is as follows
Code:
function moveMenu(xValue:Number, yValue:Number){
if (this.Menu1._x> xValue) {
[Code].....
So at the moment, the values (x and y) are passed to the function and it moves to that location 45px per frame and when it is within 45px of the target it jumps to the exact point.
1) I want the movieclip to accelerate and deaccelerate as it moves.
2) At the moment it doesn't take the direct route it only goes up down left right and at a 45 degree diagonal. I want it to go to the point in a straight line.

I am currently working on an AS3 where I need to fit many differently sized display objects within a rectangular boundary without them overlapping. If you take a look at this link, [URL]and take note of how the speech bubbles are able to align themselves in the swf without overlapping, this is pretty much exactly what I hope to achieve.

I'm working on a project that uses a loader to load up a swf, then display the loader in an area using a mask and a scrollbar to scroll through the content. The content in this project will change regularly, including the dimensions of the swf file (vertical dimension only, I'm not worried about horizontal scrollbars with this question).The problem I'm running into is I can't figure out a proper formula to get the scrollbar to position the content at it's bottom when the scrollbar is at the bottom What I have now is close, but not exact. If you scoll to the bottom, the bottom of the content would scroll up too high, leaving an empty 'blank' space where the content should be. I have an if statement checking for this currently, but this creates a 'dead zone' at the bottom of the scroll bar where the content is already at the bottom, and the scroll bar can continue to scroll down a bit.oes anyone know what I'm doing wrong here in the math to get a good scrolling going, regardless of the size of the content loaded by the loader?Here is what I have so far:
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.events.*; import flash.display.Loader; import fl.controls.UIScrollBar; import fl.controls.ScrollBar; import
