when I create a textfield and use the centering property in the following way, I position it at x=0... but the middle of the text isn't at zero; seemingly the left border of a large... area of some sort is at x=0.

I have text field on the stage. How will I take it to the center of the stage? It's registration point is at the center that is why its going little away from the center.

I'm trying to open a new browser window with center positioning and a size of w=725 and height=600 with a scrollbar. I'd like to be able to click the button from the flash site and open another site in this window. What is the best way to do this using AS2? I found this script on the adobe site but haven't been able to get it to work with the on (press):
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.adobe.com','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar =no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
But also this doesn't address the position on the screen where the window opens. In the AS1 it seem to work ok with something like openWinCentre.
A simple question, "How can position my flash in the middle of the window browser."Now do I need to add an action sctipt to the site or it's something to do with publish sitting?
View 1 RepliesI am using Action Script 3.0 to animate an instance (MovieClip class) to follow the mouse positron the thing is, the left corner of the instance follows the mouse courser. Now there is a cross on the to left corner and my guess would be that the mouse follows that cross, but i can not change the position of the cross within the instance/ original object. Does anyone know how to make the center of that instance follow the mouse cursor?
View 2 RepliesI am using AS2 and I'm looking for a way to scale an MC from the center meaning that the width will expand equally on both sides.For example .. If the movie clips needs to expand +10 then it would be +5 on the left and +5 on the right.So, in order to simulate the movie clip going forward the position on the left would offset -5 then scale.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a text effect where on every frame the textfield increases in size and decreases in opacity. I'm using the scaleX and scaleY properties of my dynamic textfield to enlarge, but it's doing so keeping the left registration point fixed. I want to make it scale up radially outward, or with the center point fixed.

View 3 RepliesI am editing an XML gallery and I have some questions..I wonder how I can position my images in the center of the screen. The images are all the same size (800x600) and I need them to display in the center of the screen.I played around with the code and I found out that when I change the Width and Height, the images starts to move (finally)... But it's very hard to find the correct position, so how can I just get it to the horizontal en vertical center of the screen/file?
Here's what the code looks like:
Code:
<gallery dir="Photos/">
<img id='0' align="center" file="foodcongres2009_1.jpg" width='1024' height='768'>
Test foto nummer 1
</img>

And next... I have just two arrows (left, right), but when I click on the left one (previous), it goes to the next image instead of the previous one.. How about that?

View 2 Replies[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

I mean resizing and rotating around center.

View 1 RepliesI've recently taken Krilnon's tutorial on interactive image panning, and have a need for more complexity. My image to be panned (relative to user's mouse movement) has several 'hot spot' buttons placed within. Each hot spot, when clicked, is to smoothly zoom and shift within the mask, with pertinent info displayed next to each, once zoom and shift is complete. almost like I'm making a motion tween, where the final position is known, but the start position is wherever the BG image is when the user clicks the nested button. I need to determine the x-position at the moment of click of the button (different for each button), and then, I think, use a simple-math "stagger-step" method of moving and scaling, until I've reached my final dest. here's the link to the tutorial I originally referenced:If anyone knows of a tutorial or example out there, I'd love directions to it(them). or,

View 5 RepliesI was working on a keyboard project and I started wondering if there was a way to click a certain location within entered text in a TextField and have that be the new location where any backspaces or text entering will go from. Like in text documents. Anyone know how this can be gone about if it is possible? It's not a requirement but it's an interest of mine and searches didn't bring up any results.

View 4 RepliesI want to create a textfield that is either N number of pixels from the bottom of the stage or 90% from the top of the stage.
Basically i want the textfield to always appear near the bottom of the stage. What property of the TextField() object do I configure to achieve this?
I just spent three hours on trying to understand basic positioning of TextFields and SimpleButtons...
I have a movieclip with a dynamic TextField and a SimpleButton inside. The TextField is NOT inside the SimpleButton (because then I can't change the text dynamically).
I want the TextField centered in the SimpleButton but when I set the Textfield.x it is displayed somewhere completely different than when I set the SimpleButton.x to the same value. Regardless of if I do i programmatically or not.
I have two dynamic textfield and they are both within two movieclips because I have action to rotate , enlarge and move the related movieclip so that the text changed accordingly.
But there is problem like after I record the position after modification to database and retrieve them back to the flashpage. The position of the movieclips are changed or maybe it is the textfield's position within the movieclips are changed which I have no exact idea what happened.
So could any one who can give some suggesion how should I arrange the textfield within the movieclip and how to keep track of the right position after enlargement or rotations,etc then?
Isn't it I have to consider the relative position of the textfield to the movieclip at the beginning.
i've searched for it but couldnt find what i need.i have a inputfield (instance:enterSbMessage_txt) so, when i type a few characters in it and user presses a button i want to know the exact position of the blinking cursor.
