ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Access Width Property Of Mask
Feb 15, 2011
I have notice that you can't access the width property of a mask, but you can access the x position property.
Try this code
var myMask:Sprite = new Sprite();
myMask.graphics.beginFill(0xFF4F00);
myMask.graphics.drawRect(40, 30, 15, 15);
addChild(myMask);
var myMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(myMC);
myMC.mask = myMask;
trace(myMask.width); //outputs 0
trace(myMask.x); //outputs 15
How to get the mask width?
1119: Access of possibly undefined property width through a reference with static type Class.i get this error wen trying for collision detection of 2 objects..error line if(ball._x >= Stage._width) {
I have a movie clip, in this movie clip there is a mask. I have three layers in this movie clip, 1. the mask, 2. the item being masked, 3. back ground object. When I click on the movie clip on the stage it gives me a width of 150. 150 is the width of the Mask, layer 1, and the back ground, layer 3. trace(movieclip.width); gives 175. 175 is the width of the item being masked on layer 2 of the movie clip. Is this a quark? or is there someway to get the width of the movie clip like when I click on it in on the stage?
Is there a way to mask a movie clip in a way that alters the width and height of the object? I have a child movie clip that is larger in width so I'm having issues manipulating the width, height and coordinates proportionally of the parent movie clip.
I've got a movieclip with two layers - a background movieclip, and above that, a mask movieclip (as you might guess, this layer is masking the first). Due to design necessity, the mask is animated on the timeline across 60 frames.The problem arises when I use an Event.RESIZE listener to change the width of the parent movieclip when the browser window is resized. Any code to reference the mask, i.e
It's too complicate to explain but I'll give you an example
I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?
I'm only at the very start of my .fla, and already I run into something odd. I'm setting a series of properties of my new MovieClip, and all can be traced back, except for .width. No matter to what value I set my MC's width, it always traces 0.
ActionScript Code: var cube:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); cube.width = 200; cube.rotation = 1;
[Code]....
Why would it be impossible to set my cube's width?
I have a masked movieclip and in the movieclip there is an article with a scroll bar. My problem in I cant access the functionality through the mask. Is there a way to tell Flash i need to access that scrollbar?
Is it possible to set a percentage value for the width property of an UIComponent defined in MXML using data binding?
What I try to achieve is something like this (which doesn't work):
<s:Button width="{buttonWidth}%"/>
I know that using percentage for width or height properties in MXML is kind of a hack in the Flex SDK, since they're supposed to accept numerical values only, but since percentWidth and percentHeight aren't available in MXML, I'm pretty stuck =/
I would really like to avoid using code to do such a simple thing, in order to keep my code as clear and readable as posible.
a movie clip symbol is designed and subclassed in Flash, but get instanced and addChild-ed in AS3. It works well as long as I don't change it's width/height property (scaling works too), but if i do, it disappears
I have a flex 3 project with a root mx:Application. The width and the height are set to pct values, because the application has several sizes that can be chosen by the user, so the correct size is set on the embed's width attribute.
how to access the value in that attribute. I read in several places that this.root.loaderInfo.width should give me that value, but it always returns 500, which I am guessing comes from the default application container width [URL].
I realize I could pass it as a flashvar, but that is not a good solution in this case due to the nature of the project. I've also tried pplication.application.width, stage.width, and stage.stageWidth, to name a few. I can't depend on any of those values, since they change based on the browser zoom level.
I know there are a number of posts dealing with this issue. But, I'm still not understanding it.I keep getting a "1120: Access of undefined property CSSloader." in the following script:
I need to access the property Access inside of my class. Actually I can do this in my FLA Reader.Access, but take a look in onComplete function, this function try call Access, but nothing happen.[code]
BTW the code i have below works, but when i try to have an animation sequence it doesnt work..menu is a movieclip i made then inside it are buttons like read for example in my code,,menu.read w/o animation works but when i place an animation to make it have a cool intro i get the error. [code]...
i am working on a flash liquid website on AS3. The main fla file works with the website.as file where all the code adjusts all the movie clips on the stage. (middle, top left, top right, low left etc etc)This works fine...however.. when i add buttons and interactivity to move to another frames on the timeline inside the middle movie clip i get this stupid errorCannot access a property or method of a null object referenceI got this before and i know that flash doesnt read the instance of the button..
I have an app where I am wanting to use some movieclips when clicked on to remove the current movieclip and add a new movieclip. My problem seems to be that whenever I refer to the homeArtist_mc movieclip I get an error.
For example on line 50 in my actionscript I have homeArtist_mc.buttonMode = true; And I get this error 1120: access of undefined property homeArtist_mc.
Here's the context of the problem, in which I will try to include as much information as possible while keeping the explanation brief.
I am trying to make a portfolio website (architectural design + concept art). Flash / programing are not my focus and this is my first go at learning the software. Due to the nature of the content and my (lack) of ability in AS3, I want the the coding to be really simple and still let the site look good. The way the site is currently structured:
1) Basic menu buttons that navigate to sections of the site (brings up a new page).
2) Example, clicking on <Graphics> takes you to a new page and a sub-menu animates in (simple motion tween for the buttons to cascade down). This animation is a movie clip placed on the main timeline.
3) On the screen is also a slideshow for all the images within <Graphics>.Instead of multiple small slideshows, I combined them all into one, so as to avoid complications with add / remove from stage. There are prev / next buttons that keep images within their sub section (ie 1->2->3->1). The sub-menu buttons are suppose to link to the start of each sub section, much like chapters on a DVD. (The slideshow is a movieclip sub-nested in the menu movieclip).
first of all I am completely new to AS3.I want to create a simple website, with 3 buttons.Once you click on the button, content should appear next to it. But i have trouble programming even one button.Here is the script:
stop(); photography_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, photoclick); function photoclick(event:MouseEvent) {
There are some documented bugs in getCharBoundaries, but this seems fine as it will obviously retrieve the relevant values. I can't believe I have to pull out the x value using toString() and a RegExp
Getting: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at CatProcess()
Don't know why. When I run it, it's the userName_iBox that isn't being added to the stage so it must be to do with that but I can't see whats wrong with it.[code]...
I've got on main timeline (on frame 10) buttons, when I click one of them it goes to its currentLabel"". On curerntLabel at frame20 "racerButton" where I've got some tweening. At currentLabel "boardButton" at frame30 I load external swf.The problem I've got is when I press any button everything works fine. But when I first press button "boardButton" at frame30 the ext.swf shows up fine, but when next I click the button"racerButton" at frame20 the tweening doesn't work there and it gives me error.[code]when I press any button everything works fine except from bordButton to racerButton
I am working on a piece of code and I am getting bizar Access of undefined property name errors. I am posting my code below. About half way through the function, references to "name" become undefined.
Code: private function getIcon(_name:String):int{ //5 is min length valid name can be y.xxx if(_name == null || _name.length <5){
[code]....
In all the code past this method, all the variables and class names are showing as undefined.
So I'm quite to Flash, AS3, etc... And this is making me nuts I'm taking on creating this website but some of my buttons just continually get a "1120: Access of undefined property" error. These are very simple buttons (not movie clip buttons or anything fancy), and their use is to navigate from one section to another (no more no less), using Labels (not much of a surprise here either).
I'm not sure whether this is relevant but the button IS inside a movie clip called "jobPositions_mc", the instance name is "jobPositions".The button is a generic button that I reused for different job positions, each one with a different instance name. In this example, the button name is "JobsOpeningButton_btn" and the instance name is "jrSalesBtn"The label of the frame I want to go to by pressing the button is "jrSales"
