I'm trying to center a movieClip on the stage but this movieclip is animated from a simple pixel to its full size.So when i try to get the width and height of this MC I get a width of 5. While the width is 500 after the animation is played.How can i get the biggest width of this MC so I can center the MC at the start of the anim?

ActionScript Code:
itemPropertyX = event.target.parent.propertyX;
Simple enough code, works fine when the event.target.parent is the one that has .propertyX, but I'm using this as part of a function for use on various things, and not event.target is the same number of .parents from the .propertyX, so some of them need to be
ActionScript Code:
itemPropertyX = event.target.parent.parent.propertyX;
.. but I can't change the code or the ones that only need the one parent don't work, right?So.. how do I find the topmost parent? I tried using event.target.root but that comes out to be the stage every time.
Which is the simplest way to get the biggest number in an array?
Is there any method that does it directly or I have to order the array and get the last element of it?
What's the command for choosing the biggest value out of for ex. 5 variables? Math.max(); can only take 2 values.

View 1 RepliesStage.width is changing to the correct value only after one frame. On the first frame it's like 500 something and on the second it's around a thousand. I don't really have any idea what's causing this, but in my fla my prototype is supposed to resize the box and if the last two parameters aren't set it centers it in the dead center (thanks css designing as a side).Well... enough talk, anybody know why it changes?[URL]

I have a class that in it's constructor I run the following code, that basically checks to see if the class movieclip is bigger than it's supposed to be, and goes through and changes the background art on each frame to be the size the user wants it to be (with 4 frames in the class and with bg art called "bg1","bg2", "bg3", and "bg4" respectively on each frame). So, I cycle each of the 4 frames and change the background art to the new width and set the parent class to xscale=100. The problem is as soon as I change the width of the bg art, as soon as I gotoAndStop to another frame that width is lost and set back to what it was.[code]...

Once I've set either the width or percentWidth property on a flex label, is there a way to reset the width to its default (i.e., the width of the text plus padding)? I'm using the label as a renderer. In some cases, I'd like it to automatically size to the text, and in other cases, I'd like it to be a percentage width of its container. Obviously, I could use two separate labels, one for each of the above cases, but I'm curious if it's possible to reset the label to its default behavior.

View 3 RepliesI 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...

stage.stage.stageWidth
root.stage.stageWidth
parent.stage.stageWidth
MovieClip(root).stage.stageWidth

View 3 RepliesI have a Movieclip on stage with nested movieclips inside. All referenced at 0,0. None of the child movieclips load any dynamic content, animate or have Masked Layers. It does have an input textfield in one of the child MCs. The parent MC shows 280 px width, while it returns 313 px with a .width trace. There is no code that alters the .width value of the parent MC at run-time. And the ParentMC on stage is not scaled (it is at 100% width/height)

I'm halfway to accomplishing this.
Here is what i used

The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.
Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.
However it doesn't change scenes to scene "Home2".
