ActionScript 3.0 :: DisplayObject.height All Messed Up?
Nov 29, 2009
It seems that the getters and setters for the height are all botched up when the DisplayObject has any rotation applied to it at all.The getter for the height returns the total height of all the bounds.The setter for the height sets the height regardless of rotation.If you set the same value for height several times in a row, you will get about 3 different results until it stays at the same result.If the heigt's getters and setters are different, imagine the ramaflacations involved, first and foremost setting properties via "+=".Just posted up a quick example: (ZIP with SWF is attached - FLA can be made available upon request)The properties "width", "height", and "rotation" are applied in that order as listed, but setting them in a different order will affect the result differently, but I don't have the time for that.

Is there a way to prevent the automatic change of the height property of a DisplayObject? It automatically resizes to match content, though my swf file is 32 pixels height. The code below can show prove of this, first frame enemy.height is 32 but later is 27.5, and this messes up my script.getRect() and getBounds() return exactly the same. Also, I want to know why in the first frame it shows the correct height and in the second it changes, it should show 27.5 from the beginning.

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.

I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

I have a "Dynamic Text" element called "output_txt". In my action script code, I have this line:
output_txt.text = "I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100";
But what actually gets displayed in that element, after that line runs is:
"thinin o ne etween n 00"
Some of the letters are randomly getting dropped. Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

This isn't actually related directly to the AS programming language, but to the AS editor in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. I think it happened after pressing a certain combination of keys by accident. I haven't been able to solve the issue since.
There seems to be lots of arrows (where tabs are) and the letter P facing the opposite direction at the end of each line.

I have created a neat little function that produces several buttons and inserts labels into each one from an array. It works great until I try to stick the sucker under a mask. When I do that, the labels disappear. I need this mask, but I also need the labels - can't have buttons without labels, now, right?Here's the code I am using:
Code:
var mcPosY:Array = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < 14; i++){

I am following the XML/Flash Photo Gallery with Thumbnails [URL] Everything works great except the thumbnails. The first few thumbnails (the ones originally visible) are fine, but then the rest are all smashed up on top of one another. Is this a problem with my code? The pictures aren't all exactly the same width, so that might be the problem.

I don't know what I did while working in a CS3 Flash document, but I cannot view the frames up in my timline bar. All I can see is the layers there - they take up the whole area and when I try to grab and drag the timeline to shorten the layers nothing happens. I must have hit something by accident

If I run the page locally on my machine, the banner looks fine no matter the browser. however, on the free hosting service server, size and position of certain movie clips are messed up in IE, safari and opera. they overlap in places, and u can see the corner of something that's supposed to be off the stage. why? note: the hosting service put some junk after my </body> tag...

So i've been toying around with the built in bitmap collision detection, seeing as it was pixel-perfect collision testing. I've tried so many times to get it to work, but it hasn't prevailed yet. All the tutorials i've found look like timeline code, but i'm using OOP, however, this should not effect it in any way. I eventually broke down an downloaded a pre written class, but even then, i could not get it to work. Basically, when the two objects are supposed to be colliding, the ground has a red glow, but after making it draw points while colliding i saw that the actual collision shape is some messed up thing.

I've built a drawing application. Because I've programmed the option to insert symbols (new movieclips), I needed to create a new movieclip each time I start drawing. The problem is that I now completely messed up my lineTo and moveTo sequence, and it just draws from coordinates which I don't understand where is gets them from.The code section is basically:
stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing );
stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, drawer );
function drawer( e:MouseEvent ):void[code].....
I have a main lineDrawing movieclip into which i'm creating a new shDrawing each time the mouse moves. The problem is, because it starts a new movieclip each time - it messes up the coordinates of the line drawing.(btw, I can solve this if I could only do some kind of "lineTo" function on a movieclip, so that it "lines-to" from mouse down to mouse up seamlessly, regardless of the speed of moving the mouse.

so im almost finished my first site! very excited. its for my dads business, hes a screening contractor. actually i doubt he will get any business out of it, even once we get our real domain name and everything because i don't even know how to get Google to like it. its OK though, its mainly just a practice site for me anyways before i make a resume site for myself. anyways, it consists of 3 divs, an html content area, and a flash banner and a flash menu, which stretch depending on the window size to keep their aspect ratio. everything works exactly as planned in Firefox, chrome, and pure flash player. but in IE, safari and opera, the size and position of things are way messed up! (only really care about IE). the edges of dynamic text are slightly to the left or right and hanging behind things because of it, same with some movie clips. and when i didn't want things to appear on the stage i set their x position to be the length of the stage, BUT IN IE U CAN SEE THE EDGE!

I would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?

I want to constrain the height of a flex component to the height of the browser viewport.
The component's children are populated from a database table using a repeater, and are basic checkboxes. There are enough of them that the flex app ends up being about twice the height of the screen, which means some of the rest of the layout goes crappy on me. How can I force the component that contains these to limit itself to the size of the viewport?

How to set a Spark List height to the height of its content?Tried this:
var lastRow:IVisualElement =
myList.dataGroup.getElementAt(myList.dataGroup.numElements - 1);
myList.height = lastRow.y + lastRow.height;
It works in case of a single item, but lastRow is null in case of more items.

By default the height of an Flex Accordion container is the height of the initially selected child. I'd like to be able to set the height to the tallest child so that no resizing or scrolling is necessary when other children are selected. I do not want to use the resizeToContent property. I want the size of the container to stay constant no matter what child is selected.
My current thought is to extend the accordion class setting the creation policy to "all" and then override the measure function to loop through all the children and find the tallest one and use that for the height. This seems a little kludgy though, so I'd like to know if there is a better approach. Ultimately my question is: is there a way to set the size of an accordion container such that the container never resizes and scoll bars are never necessary to display any of the children?

I have a bit of graphical content inside a symbol that I've created in Flash CS5. Let's call it FunGraphics_Art, it's set to export, and it extends MovieClip.When I edit the symbol in Flash and I hit control-A, the properties panel tells me that all of the content has a height of 72 pixels, positioned at 0,0.The content consists of a few (classic) textfields, and a couple of Checkbox components and a few bits of vector art.All the content is on a single frame, no layers.So far, so good. I export my art as a .svc and am able to use it all in code just fine. However I then add the following bit of code to my .as file..[code]Somehow, there's something strange going on that's causing Flash to think my exported symbol is about 75 pixels higher than it actually is. I've looked around for invisible "blank" textfields, but haven't found anything yet.

I've created a dynamic text field, and set autoSize to true, so it can grow was tall as necessary. I then want to use the _height value to size a container graphic (speech bubble). Here's the (simplified) code:
[Code]....
Returns 19.6 followed immediately by 35.2. It's as though reading txt._height causes it to recalculate, so it's correct the second time. I also tried the textHeight property, which also seems to get recalculated after _height is accessed. This sequence, for example:

I have a problem with an flash object. The object is an expanding topbanner, but when retracted, the on mouse over effect still appears on the invisible part of the banner. The code is the following:
<div id="exp_banner" style="width:930px; height:180px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; z-index: 100;">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="test.swf" width="930"
[Code].....
I have tried to add a style height to the object with an height of 180px, but then the banner scales down.

I made a scrollbar class that works pretty well. I'm trying to come up with an idea for how to set to the height of the scrollbar vs the height of the scrolling content. This is a standard thing that happen in the OS. Seems there should be a minimum number and the maximum value should be reached as the size of the content approaches the size of the visible area.

I am going to embed a Flex app on an html page. The html page is already going to have a scroll bar to scroll up and down. The contents of the flex app are very dynamic, and I don't want to have an extra scroll bar when there is already one. So is there a way to make the height of the swf match the height of the contents of the swf?

Is it possible to get the browser height via flash and set the stage height to that value? I know you can set the height to 100% in publish settings, however one of my scroller scripts needs the stage height to be exactly the height of the content area of the browser.

I am trying to reference to top level (stage) width and height of the main stage for the placement of something located inside a movieclip on the stage.
My code is:
Code:
my_loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - my_loader.width)/2;
my_loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - my_loader.height)/2;
But this seems to just relate to the width/height of the mc that my_loader is nested in...
I have tried the following and had no luck:
stage.stage.stageWidth
root.stage.stageWidth
parent.stage.stageWidth
MovieClip(root).stage.stageWidth
