Flash :: Scaling Onstage MovieClip With "scaleX" Breaks Timeline Animation?
Nov 3, 2009I'm scaling onstage MovieClips via AS properties "scaleX" or "scaleY", which kills any kind of animation the clips have within their container MovieClip, be it Classic or Motion Tweens. When I don't scale the MovieClips, they animate fine. I'm able to tell the clips to "gotoAndStop" on their own internal frames, and that doesn't affect their animation within their container clip. I'm referencing the clips via AS w/ their instance names defined in the IDE. I've also tried different clips and recreated them, getting the same behavior.
Is it possible to scale a clip via AS and still have it animate within its container timeline?
Does applying an AS property to an onstage instance somehow dissassociate it from other timeline properties?

ActionScript 3.0 :: ScaleX Vs Manual Scaling On Android
Nov 2, 2011When I set the scaleX, it smooths. But this is not as efficient as redrawing the image (at least that's what I've been led to believe). But, scaling the image manually doesn't seem to smooth. Can someone tell me why. I'm using Flex and I add the image directly to a Group, so I have to wrap it in a UIComponent. Oh, and "this" refers to the Spark View component.[code]

Sep 23, 2010I have one Sprite which acts as a container for two other Sprites. One has a picture the other has a series of hotspots.
If i change the scaleX and scaleY of the picture, the hotspots don't line up anymore. Do you know the correct equation so that any scale i set will always make the hotspots appear at the right place?
I'm trying stuff like this:
hotspot.x *= scaleFactor;
hotspot.y *= scaleFactor;
but i can't quite sort it.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling Movieclip Not Scaling But Repeating?
May 20, 2010i have a diagonal movieclip that I am trying to scale along with the background video. The background video scales perfect, I am attaching the diagonal movieclip (br in the code as bottomright) with addChild
Instead of scaling with the window, it seems to repeat such as the image is displaying. this is the main section of the code that is doing the scaling
var br:mc_bottomright = new mc_bottomright();
addChild(br);
//proportional scale
if ((stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight)> (owidth/oheight))

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling A Movieclip Without Scaling Its Contents
Apr 10, 2009I am trying to achieve an effect of scaling a movie clip on click...very similar to [URL] When the user clicks on See, Hear, Play and Shop boxes, the boxes expand. I have created a box movieclip that has a bar on top. This bar is a movie clip inside the box movieclip. When i try to scale the main box movieclip, the internal bar movie clip scales as well. How to stop this?

Flash :: Scaling Drawing Objects Inside Movieclip?
Apr 12, 2011So I've got problem with some drawing objects inside movieclip in my flash file... Setting width and height of flash to match browser's w&h got my movie clip to get correct values, but unfortunately drawing objects inside of it are not scaled as movieclip. Those object are just random stripes that got some tween on it acting as somekind of preloader... All graphics are pulled from ai file, so no AS was used to manipulate them, just pure tweening in design mode...So if my stage w & h are lets say 720 x 50, graphics inside movieclip are 1600 x 900 which match my monitor's resolution.

May 18, 2010I have a 50x50 fixed rectangle in the center of the stage.

Apr 12, 2011how a ScaleX/ScaleY event propagates down to the children of display object? I want to step in at some point and "re-scale" one of the children of a display object that has just been scaled with it's parent.

View 2 RepliesFlash :: Set ScaleX Property On A Sprite Without Altering The Child Inside
Mar 25, 2010My site is set up with next and prev buttons on the right and left sides respectively, and as you roll over either of the hit areas around the buttons a Sprite fades in which contains a TextField that describes the next page. Said Sprite calls the StartDrag() method, so it follows the mouse within the bounds, which is all fine and dandy on the left side of the page. Adobe, however, seems to have forgotten to put a way to dynamically alter the registration point of a Sprite, MC, whatever else, so when you roll over the right side of the page, the sprite is displayed from the top left and is mostly off the stage.
Trying to hack this problem I have tried numerous things ( classes written by others, other hacks) and the best that I have found is to use the scaleX method on the Sprite, changing the scale to -1. This, of course, makes the Sprite seem like it's reflected from its normal point, which means all its children show up backwards.
Is there anyway I can use this hack without it altering the text?
OR
Does anyone know a different way to go about displaying a Sprite from another corner? Any way to make a Sprite fade in and follow the mouse on the LEFT HAND side of the mouse pointer?
Here is a snippet to give an idea of what's happening:
naxtPage.labelBG.scaleX = -1;
nextPage.labelBG.startDrag( true, nextHitRect );
nextPage.labelBG.x = nextPage.labelBG.parent.mouseX;
nextPage.labelBG.y = nextPage.labelBG.parent.mouseY;

May 22, 2010I have a portion of a project that is similar to a MS paint program and the user can create a picture/poster, etc. When they hit the continue button, I am able to scale down the picture they created (it is in a movieclip) and store it in an array to be returned later on in the project. The only problem is that when it is returned, sometimes the textboxes that they inserted will push the last word to a new line.ex. They type = "This is my poster Yeah!"it returns = "This is my posterYeah!"I was playing with converting it to a bitmap and then displaying that, but I've never used that so I'm unsuccessful

Nov 19, 2010i have read a number of tutorials on the internet trying to find a fix to the problem i am having. Everytime i create a new movieclip using public var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); the movie clip is created after setting the values and drawing a square to show it in the file. However when i add an image to the movie clip i created it scales to be the same size as the movie clip or half the size of the movie clip which isnt what i want.
mc.addChild( GameTile ); // add the square instance into display list
GameTile.loadBitmap("stronghold.jpg", 0, 0);
This is the code i use to add an instance of my image class to the movieclip called mc. I was wondering if anyone has a simple way of scaling the image to its original size within the new movieclip instance? I have tried various ways of scaling and it works but when the window is resized the image is not the correct size.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing MovieClip Height Without Scaling?
Feb 4, 2010I have a movieclip in the library that contains a RadioButton component and a TextField; it serves as a container. I pull the clip out of the library at runtime and populate the text into the TextField. I don't know what height the TextField within the movieclip will be but I want the movieclip's height to be the same as the height of the text in the TextField so I can position it appropriately. However, the container movieclip always wants to be some other default height (I think 100px) and when I try to change it thru code after the text is set, it scales the whole thing (TextField & RadioButton) and looks like garbage! I need to set the height dynamically without the stupid scaling.
You would think the movieclip would resize based on it's content but it doesn't! I've tried pulling it from the Library, I've tried doing everything thru code, but neither changes the height vs. scaling issue.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling A MovieClip After Loading Image Into It?
Apr 23, 2009I have a doubt regarding scaling a movieclip. I tried this method where I make a movieclip dynamically, add an image to it which I load from my desktop. The image appears fine. But when I scale the movieclip using the mc.scaleX and mc.scaleY properties the mc woudnt budge. There must be some other wat we can accomplish that. Can someone put in some thoughts on it. here's the code..

In the code I have not used the scaling codes since it doesnt work. And when I add the two line code, the image disappears, but the mc is on the stage which is clickable. maybe I should place my mc inside a container?

Jan 19, 2010I have a Movieclip containing five images in a row. I have seven images inside a mc next to eachother like a T (Five across and three down) with one image being the center image. The images are under a mask an then the images tween on the X and Y but obviously only the masked part of the image is visible. The mask is 1280x649 and I was wondering how to proportionally scale only the masked area to full screen. I have the following code which works perfectly on a single image inside a mc but how do I do now?

stage.align = "TL";
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var picHeight = pic.height / pic.width;
var picWidth = pic.width / pic.height;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Resize MovieClip Without Scaling Content?
Jun 10, 2011Essentially I'm building an application in Flash, just for the fun of it really. Upon the initial design it was just a static size, now however I've been working on making it completely resizeable (with the original size as the minimum). I've done this on most of the screens correctly. However on the main screen I have several components. All custom built MovieClips basically, and inside these are more MovieClips, and inside those are even more movieclips.
For my question, I'm going to be using a button as my example. I created a button movieclip with a resize function to call after I change the size of it. So it works like this:
ActionScript Code:
buttonMC.width = 200;
buttonMC.height = 150;
buttonMC.resized();
Now this button is inside of another movieclip which is designed to just house a group of similar movieclips. (this structure is not changable; several hundreds of lines are code are specifically designed around it). How to get our button's width from the root timeline, we'd do this:
ActionScript Code:
trace(housingMC.buttonMC.width);
Now, when this frame gets resized, the resizing script changes the width height of the housingMC. Something like this: (not a working example)
ActionScript Code:
//resize listener {
housingMC.width += stageWidth - oldStageWidth; //width difference
housingMC.width += stageHeight - oldStageHeight; //height difference
And the housingMC changes to the correct size in the correct position of the screen.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [Flash8] Scaling A Movieclip From 100%-70%-100% Using The X-axis
Aug 22, 2007I am building a flash piece in which I need an object to move across the stage from right to left and scale from 100% just off the right side of the stage, to 70% in the middle of the stage and then 100% again just off the left side of the stage. Giving the illusion that it is moving in a circular pattern around the viewer. My goal is to get the scaling to be relative to the MC's x position on the stage. Moving it across the stage is the easy part, and I can scale the MC from 100% on the right to 0% on the left using an onEnterFrame function containing:
MC._xscale = MC._yscale = Math.round((MC._x/Stage.width)*100);
but I can't seem to figure the 100-70-100 deal out. I thought there might be a math function like sin, cos or tan that would really help out, but I can't seem to find anything out there
ActionScript 2.0 :: Scaling MovieClip In Fluid Layout
Feb 15, 2011I am using the following code on individual movie clips to keep the object centered in a fluid layout:
onClipEvent(load){
this._x= (Stage.width)/2;
this._y= (Stage.height)/2;
Stage.addListener(this)
this.onResize=function(){
this._x= (Stage.width)/2;
this._y= (Stage.height)/2;
}}
My question is this: Can I add/modify to this code to make the MC scale proportionately up as I drag the browser window farther open? Right now it stays centered but it stays the same size.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling MovieClip Size - Width Of Stage
Jun 21, 2011Is there any performance difference? I am scaling a 2000 - 4000 wide movieclip, within a 600 wide stage. Does it matter which way I scale it in terms of CPU usage;

or
myMovieClip.width *= 2;
The movieclip will be scaled multiple times and to varying sizes.

Feb 23, 2009I'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?
