ActionScript 3.0 :: Find Each Dynamic MovieClip Height In For Loop?
Jun 25, 2010
I am loading an XML file into several textboxes. Each group of textboxes is contained in a movieclip. There is a textbox in each group that varies in height and I want to put each movieclip underneath each other. So I need to get the height of the previous mc in my for loop so I can set the y position of the next mc. I am not quite sure how this is done, but here is my as3:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I'm creating a number of text boxs through code. I want to space them out by determining the height (one, two, three, lines of text) and adding 24 pixels space. I highlighted the code in red thats not working the way I want.
Code:
var MytextsA:Array = new Array("12345123451234512345123451234512", "secondElement", "thirdElement", "fourth");
var Args:Array = new Array("First", "second", "thirdt", "fourth4");

I've created a custom component with several inline item renderers that I use as a tooltip. The height of the component is unknown, as the data contents of the component are not known until runtime.
However, when displaying the tooltip, occasionally it extends beyond the boundaries of the flash application, thus, I'd like to be able to detect this occurrence and reposition the tip.
The problem is that the height and width of the component are, apparently, not available until after being rendered by the popup manager. (i.e. they are always 0)But, I do not know any way of finding out when the popup is actually rendered and, therefore, the height/width values available.

I'm having sizing issues with a TabNavigator. The direct children of the TabNavigator are Canvases, and within these I am adding Images. I'm trying to resize the images to fit within the Canvas without scrollbars. The Canvas height is set to 100% of the parent, which is the TabNav. Then I'm setting the image.height = parent.height *.9. The result is that Flex is generating scrollbars because the images are too high. It appears that the root cause is that the height property of the TabNavigator is the height of the entire component, including the height of the tabs. I'm assuming therefore it also contains that little strip of space between the tabs and the children of the TabNavigator. This makes sense, but is there a property that returns only the height of the children? I'm aware of the scrollbar policy properties and I've experimented with those. I know I can also try a different multiplier for the image size to get it to fit. It just seems like there should be a property to get the size of the space for the children.

It's showing the whole animation's width and height but I want only stage width & height?

Does anyone know if there is a way to find the height of the text within the TextLayout class?
I am making my TextLayout objects like so:
this._textFlow = new TextFlow();
this._paragraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
this._textFlow.addChild(this._paragraphElement);
[Code].....
All the public properties I'd expect to find the height are undefined such as this._textFlow.lineHeight.

I'm using MovieClipLoader to load in external swfs so that I don't need to include a preloader on each one. I'm really unfamiliar with this technique, including how to use and implement listeners and follow the functionality after using it, I've just been playing with borowed code.basically i've been trying to use this code:
Code:
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);

i have 2 arrays, a and b... in array a i have a bunch of random numbers.... now i want to loop through array a find which of the elements is the largest. for example if a[4] is the largest number in the a[] then i want b[1] = 4 and so on....
//array a full of random numbers:
a[1] = 4
a[2] = 3
a[3] = 1
[code]....
so if a[4] is the bigest, b[1] will have 4 and if a[1] is second biggest, b[2] will have 1 and so on... is there an algorithm that can do this for me with an array length of X?

I'm trying to dynamically stack images that are being pulled in via an xml file. Below is what I'm doing, and it almost works. The problem is that it only seems to fire off the event complete function on the very last one, instead of going for all of them. Is there a way to make it run the even.complete function for each image?
function aboutfileLoaded(event:Event):void {
aboutXML = new XML(aboutTextLoader.data);
for(var l:int = 0; l < aboutXML.aboutimages.image.length(); l++)

[URL]When you double click on the picture the photo descrpition box is the same and I'd like to make it dynamic. The movie clip that contains the text box is called "flashmo_pic_info" and the text box name is "photo_description". How can make it so that the text box is the size of whatever is in photo_description? Here is the AS so you don't have to download the template. I had to take out some of the variable declarations to make this fit.
code:
function load_gallery(xml_file:String):void
{
var xml_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

Using the flash authoring tool, I want to resize a dynamic textfield to a particular height.However, it will not allow me to size the textfield smaller than a height that will fit all of the (multiline) text. How can I override this and make the height smaller so I can use scrollbars?

I have just come up with this idea of passing in strings into a textbox. The problem is having the height automatically adjust depending on how long the string is. So I have set width for my textbox, but I want the height to change if the string is long enough to wrap.

So I need the text to scroll with the text field object rather than inside the dynamic text field box. To do so I need the textfield box to auto fill a height based on how many lines it has, is there any way to do this or should I draw a static text field instead?

I am creating an upload and view function for my canvas website. The website lets you upload an image and view what it would look like on the wall. As the images are dynamically loaded I need to find the width of the image so that I can position it in the correct place.
The dynamic images are loaded into an empty movie clip called _root.canvas_preview
The code below works fine for finding the width of jpeg's when loaded into the canvas_preview movie but returns no value when the images are gif's, PNG etc. Does anyone know why this is or could suggest another way of finding the width of a dynamic movie clip. I am using Flash 8[code]...
