ActionScript 3.0 :: Width/height As Parameters To A Sprite Subclass
Jul 28, 2009In a previous thread I asked a question about setting the width and height of a sprite subclass in its constructor method. One of the responses has puzzled me since I read it:
"Setting width and height only makes sense if you're adjusting the width and height of existing content, and the Chart (Sprite) has none at that point."
I don't understand that; what if you're adding children to the sprite that depend on those dimensions?
Here's a simple app which draws a red circle inside of a blue box which demonstrates my confusion as well as one other issue. The full questions are at the bottom.
Main.fla:
import Box;
var myBox:Box = new Box(200, 200);addChild(myBox);myBox.drawCircle();
[Code].....
Question 2: In this example, the dimensions of Circle are based on the width of its parent Box sprite. Is there a more elegant way to pass the dimensions to the circle? I ask because in my actual project (a chart) the plot area contains a lot of screen locations that must be passed around when I add new objects such as grid lines and markers and passing around the coordinates as parameters seems awfully messy. I'm just not sure how else to do it.
Actionscript 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.

import flash.display.*;

Actionscript 3 :: Setting Width And Height Of A Sprite Container?
Feb 27, 2011I know this might seem like such an easy issue and I can't understand why I cant figure it out but none the less I can't and I've just about given up. Here's the issue:
I have a sprite container which is supposed to hold a bunch of thumbnails to videos. I am able to populate the container with all the videos and the whole works but obviously if I add a bunch of videos its going to exceed the size of the flash document so I need to add a UIScrollBar (which I did) now the scrollbars target is set to the container but isnt allowing me to scroll and if im correct this is because the container doesnt have a set height. So Im trying to set the height of this container but the second I try setting the height or even width all my thumbnails I used to be able to see are gone! It's as if the size is being set to 0 when its not I've even tried to set it to a specified size just to test and nothing.

My code is:
Code:
my_loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - my_loader.width)/2;

But this seems to just relate to the width/height of the mc that my_loader is nested in...

Actionscript 3 :: Add A Sprite From A Subclass To The Display List Of Its Super Class?
Aug 15, 2010Say i have these two classes:
MAIN.as
package
{
import flash.display.*; import mx.core.*;
import flash.events.*; import mx.collections.*;

Now how is it that I can add the variable SPRITE which is a Sprite in the OBJECT_square class to the display list of MAIN class? I've tried addChild(SPRITE) and super.addChild(SPRITE). If everything works I should see a red square somewhere on the screen but right now its all blank, except for the text drawn in the MAIN class.
Basically I want it so i can just make a new OBJECT_square and it will draw itself without any more instructions from the MAIN class.
100% Width But Not 100% Height?
Aug 23, 2009I have a flash banner graphic that I created at 1000px wide by 420px tall. I want this to be fluid and fill the browser width, so that when the browser is rescaled the swf fills the horizontal space. My problem is that there is content below it that needs to touch it, but the height is trying to fill 100% so it is creating vertical space between the flash content and the div below it.
I guess a better way to describe it is that I don't want to define the height I just want the width to be 100%. At 100% height there is unused space so I need to make the height maybe undefined or something smaller then 100%?Also, if you make the browser too small vertically the width will not fill. So I want 100% width regardless of the browser height.
