Flex :: Map Scaling - Exclude Some Children?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent Width From Children
Oct 20, 2009Having some strange problem getting a width from objects placed on stage using addChild. I am under the assumption that when I add some children to a specific parent, the parents width will increase and I can use that number to immediately act on the parent. The width is 100 when traced no matter when or where I add the children. I can change it statically but the is a desktop app which depends on screen size.[code]
View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: MovieClip Resizes But Its Children's Height And Width Are Not Changed?
Feb 27, 2011Changing the width and height of the parent MovieClip does not bring change in the width and height of the inner MovieClip. The parent MovieClip is placed at Stage and is resized manually. When I assign the dimension of the parent MovieClip to the inner MovieClip through code, the parent MovieClip dimension is changed. I want both MovieClip to be of same width and height at runtime. However, parent MovieClip dimension is changed at design time by me.
Example:There are two MovieClip, one inside another. Now parent MovieClip is placed at Stage at design time and its dimension is (50,50) and the child MovieClip which is inside the parent MovieClip has also same dimensions (50,50). Now, I manually change the parent MovieClip dimension by pressing Q and stretching it with mouse, the dimension of the parent MovieClip is now (100,150) or whatever I like. Now double-click on parent MovieClip and check that inner MovieClip dimension remains same i.e. (50,50)Now in AS3 code, I change the width and height of inner MovieClip like this:
saveheight = parentmc.height;
savewidth = parentmc.width;
now I change the child MovieClip according to the dimensions of the parent MovieClip like this:
parentmc.inner_mc.width = parentmc.width;
parentmc.inner_mc.height = parentmc.height;
but this brings change in parentmc also so I reassign value to parentmc like this:
parentmc.height = saveheight;
parentmc.width = savewidth;
In above case, parentmc and inne_rmc dimension should be same i.e (100 ,150). With swapping the values as above, I get parentmc and inner_mc to be of same dimension, but object size is never (100, 150), I have checked it with pixel-perfect air app.
Flex :: Width And Height Specified In Percentage Not Working For Children Of A Viewstack
Sep 30, 2011I have a ViewStack which is dataProvider for a TabBar. There are two VBoxs as children for this ViewStack. It works fine with absolute values for width and height for these VBoxs, but when specified in percentages, the VBox uses all the available space (100%) for any percentage value. find the code and screen shots below.
how can children of a ViewStack be aligned to center? There is no horizontalAlign property for ViewStack and it is not working with horizontalCenter= "0".
Code:
<mx:ViewStack id="viewStack" width="100%" height="100%" selectedIndex="0" horizontalCenter="0" textAlign="center">
<mx:VBox label="Tab 1" width="25%" height="10%" borderThickness="2" borderColor="red"

ActionScript 3.0 :: Width Of DisplayObjectContainer - Make The Size Of Sprite Is Not Affected By Its Children?
Jan 30, 2010look at the following codes first
var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();
trace( sp.width ); // the result will be 0
var mc:DefinedMC = new DefinedMC(); // assume that DefinedMC is derived from movie clip, and the width of mc is 100
sp.addChild(mc);
trace( ap.width ); // the result will be 100
[code].....
so the size of an instance of Sprite is affected by its children.is there any class derived from DisplayObjectContainer whose size is not affected by its children, or is there any method that could make the size of Sprite is not affected by its children.
Flash - Children Movieclips Doesn't Show Its Width And Height According To Parent Movieclip
Jul 19, 2011I have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .
I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Tween The Width Of Object Without Moving The Object?
Feb 23, 2012I am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove All Children Of An Object (and Subchildren)
Aug 25, 2009I want to destroy/remove all the children of an object including grandchildren of those children and so on.
I was thinking of using a recursive loop along the lines "if you have children, check if they have children, if they do, check if THEY have children and so on until they have no children and if so removeChildAt(0) of the parent you last checked.
ActionScript Code:

A quick second question, we all know that event listeners should be removed when no longer needed but I was wondering about the event.COMPLETE listener for loading say XML or a video file or any loader object. Is there any point removing that listener of is it in effect dead anyway because it has triggered when "COMPLETE" and won't ever trigger again? Isn't it still "listening"?

var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
