ActionScript 2.0 :: Give A Variable To The _xscale Of A Given MC.?
Nov 17, 2002Is it possible to give a variable to the _xscale of a given MC.? i wonder because I ran into a problem with this example:
I have a MC, that i want to be able to modify the xscale by an input box and button. basically the user inputs a value, presses the button, and the _xscale of the MC chages to what they put in the input box. so my MC is named graph. the input box has a var of xsize. the button works fine if I use on release graph._xscale = xsize
but when I try to give graph._xscale a variable like MCsize
on release
MCsize = xsize
that doesn't work.
is it my syntax or just that I can't give a property of a MC a variable name?

View 6 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Class Extending Sprite - Set The Sprite's Width And Height Properties?
Mar 5, 2010I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.

Flash :: Rotating Sprite Moves The Sprite From It's Original Location
Jul 6, 2011I'm doing a simple rotation on a sprite but there's a weird behavior where the sprite does not rotate around it's top left. I think I'm rotating along the top left of the test class instead of the sprite child. I would like to rotate the rectangle around it's top left corner (kinda like a clock hand). The code is pretty short so I'll let the code + pictures explain my problem:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I've read a lot of stuff about rotating around a fixed point, I've tried doing it with movieclips instead of sprites, I even copy pasted a tutorial on rotation and nothing works.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Sprite.addChild(NumericStepper) Resizes Sprite To 100x100
May 27, 2008[Code]...
Then the numericStepper is drawn as if it is squished to 20% its normal height. If I pre-set mySprite width and height before adding the numericstepper, the trace output is 0,0 after adding it and it is not displayed at all. Is there some way I can make the sprite only adjust to correctly fit the numericStepper OR resize it afterwards without distorting the numericStepper component?

Actionscript 3 :: Drawing - Cut A "hole" Inside A Rectangular Sprite To See The Sprite Underneath?
Feb 3, 2010Everytime I google this question I see confusing information about masks and blends, none of which seems to directly apply to what I think should be an easy thing... There are three Sprites involved here...the lowest layer sprite is pretty much a background. I want to overlay a translucent Sprite on top of the background and then I want the third, top-most Sprite to act as a hole, so that the area inside the third Sprite is completely transparent, so that the background sprite is completely visible. How would I go about doing this dynamically (i.e. dynamically drawing the masking sprite and hole using the Actionscript graphics calls)?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Which Sprite Is Another Sprite Over
Feb 5, 2009Ive got a question that feels like it should be easy but I cant figure it out. Suppose I have 2d grid of square sprites on the stage, lets say 20 by 20 (400 sprites). Another sprite moves accross the stage on top of the grid. The moving sprite and the 400 sprites below it share a common parent. So heres the question: How do I find out which of the 400 sprites the moving sprite is currently over? And heres an extra wrinkle: I lied, the sprites are not square they are of differing shapes so I cant do a simple math calculation.
All I can come up with is something like hitTestPoint(), but then I would have to call it 400 times wouldnt I? That is probably the most inefficient way to do things. Is there a function like whatsUnderThisPoint(p : Point) which will return a list of every sprite on the display list that contains p?

In a "onClipEvent(load)". Then I could just copy my MovieClip and change those variables. But this do not work in As3 and I wounder if someone knows a good way to do this

ActionScript 2.0 :: Give The Swf A Transparent Background ?
Sep 1, 2009I'm builiding a swf that will play on an html web page. It's a "build" where the page starts as blank and the animation "wipes" on in sections. The web page has a gradient background, and the swf will have a soft drop shadow.Is there a way to give the swf a transparent background so we don't have to try to "match" the gradient it will appear on top of.If this isn't clear I can post the swf or fla file.Also, on this subject, what are the "Window" settings in the html publish settings? The options are Window, Transparent Windowless or Opaque Windowless.I've tried these in the past and they don't seem to have any affect at all.
View 1 RepliesCS3 Give Instance Names Quickly?
Jun 3, 2010I have 100+ of the same movieclips on the stage at the same time, all positioned differently.i'm getting really tired of clicking on one of them, then clicking in the instance name box then typing "i65", then clicking on one of them, then clicking in the instance name box then typing "i66"...
is there anyway flash can fill this information in for you? or a plugin anyone's heard of? this isn't really an actionscript question, I'm not so fussed about selecting the different movieclips based on getChildAt or any of that stuff, I'd just really like a faster way of assigning instance names.

View 5 RepliesActionscript 2.0 :: Using An Array To Give MC's A Picture From XML
Apr 17, 2009I'm trying to use XML to put external pictures into a MovieClip. (BTW, all movieclips already exist on stage, given the name instanceName#, where #=something from 0-49)
The first chunk of code here is what I'm working on. There's a section surrounded by slashes, and that's my problem area. what I should put in the parens after "new Array"? (right now it's numOfItems, but I'm pretty sure that won't do anything.)
I need the array to generate the instance names of "a number" of movieclips, so that if I have 3 nodes in the XML it'll generate (instanceName0, instanceName1, instanceName2... etc) and if I have 4, it'll make 0-3, so on.
