I have a movieclip 'cursor' with in it two rectangles. One of them is dark and one is light, so the cursor is blinking. Now, when I want to change the width of this cursor to 150 (where it was 30 before), I do:
Code:
cursor.width = 150;
This not only changes the width of this movieclip, but also the weigth of the (whole) stroke of the two recangles. How can I prevent this strokechange from happening?

View 1 RepliesI want to animate a person moving off into the distance, but while I want the size of the figure to get smaller, I don't want the weight of the lines that comprise the image to scale down, too. I made this little sample of a person skating (poorly) away from the viewer, and I'd like the line weight to be 9 points in the first frame and the last frame. Is there a setting that allows me to exclude stroke weight when scaling and resizing an object?
View 1 RepliesIn Flash CS4, I'm trying to change the stroke width of my line or shape, with it selected, but the stroke width slider is greyed out (thus, unadjustable). Is it possible to edit a stroke width after something has been created? If so, how can this be done? I've tried selecting the line in all kinds of crazy ways, but still can't edit it.

How do you change the stroke color of a simple button? I have 50 simple buttons representing the 50 U.S. states. When I change the fill color with the following algorithm, I also eradicate the outline (stroke) color. How do I code in a stroke color?

View 1 RepliesI'm working with a rectangle I used code to generate
hpBar.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
hpBar.graphics.drawRect(40, 40, 90, 22);
hpBar.graphics.endFill();
addChild(hpBar);
The rectangle itself works fine without any problems, but when I try to change the width of the rectangle, it's x value decreases slightly, but I'm not sure why it does this. (90 is the original width, hpPerc is another value that will for my uses always be between 0 and 1).
hpBar.width = 90* hpPerc;
Unfortunately, as I stated, changing this shape's width seems to change the x value as well, which really doesn't work at all.
How is it possible to change the width and height of the cells in a List Component in AS3? I've tried experimenting with the cells and different methods but none seem to work.For example, let's say I want to make each list button cell very narrow.
View 1 RepliesI am working on this website and I decided to add some flash to the front page in the form of a little image gallery with a nifty slide effect. The problem is this. For some reason its squishing my images. When you look in the scripting you will see that I've set the image width to the full width of the stage, but when you test the movie they are getting squished to about 3/4th's the width of the stage (ive double checked the image size as well).
View 5 RepliesI have created a line (on the stage) where the height is 10px and the width is 2px. To resize it, I have converted it into a symbol (MovieClip) and given it an instance (let's say li ).
However, when I enter...li.height = 200; or resize the MovieClip with the mouse, the line is 200px tall, but it has also grown considerably thicker! However, if I go into the MovieClip, click on the Drawing and resize it there, I the line stays nice and thin.
I want to change the height and width of an object (specifically doubling it) after an interval of 2 seconds until the height and width of the object reach over 100. I've made two different scripts to try to make this possible.

I have a movieclip that has a 1px wide line by 10px high. Im trying to resize that line with tweenlite, however when i change the height it makes it wider too... How can i do this and keep the line 1px?

When the Tween takes place though it not only changes the width, it changes the height as if it were scaling it up in both directions. Why does this behavior take place? And how can I get it so that only the width changes? I have also tried using scaleX as the property but it does the same thing.
how can I change the height and width of stage dynamically. I tried it with the following code:
Stage.height = 250;
Stage.width = 250;
during the run time. Initially the Stage is at a height and width of 370 and 450 respectively. Also when I tried to trace the height and width of Stage after resizing the stage width and height, its showing the old value of width and height. That means the width and height not chnaging.
I am trying to change the width and height of instances of a symbol programmatically. Basically, the symbol contains a few colored rectangles, a bitmap, and some text. I want to change the height and width of each instance of the symbol based on how low the text string is that is in the instance's text field, but the bitmap's size should always stay the same, 24x24 pixels.[code]The problem is that using this code seems to scale everything up, including the bitmap. I have tried to programmatically add the 24x24 pixel bitmap to the symbol programmatically after I changed the height, but it still seems to be scaled..
View 1 RepliesI thought I had a handle on AS3, DisplayObjectContainers, etc. but this basic thing is really confusing me: changing the width/height of a sprite does not affect it's visual contents - either graphics drawn within it or any children it may have.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI develop some components where I use movie clips as skin. In the scene I have 2 movie clips with width 200px and height 100px, one of them I change the width to 200px and height to 100px, well, it should remain the size as nothing happens but it doesn't. The movie clip that I change the size through as3 it's actually getting smaller, and more strange, it only happens when the movie clip has an Outline. The file is attached. It's Flash CS4.

I searched the forums, but couldn't really find anything that matched my specific needs. I have a movie clip symbol that is your character, I also have a movie clip symbol that is named fuel and it represents the fuel you have left. I tried this in your character:
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
yspeed -= ypower;
fuel._width -= 50;
}
as a little bit of code. fuel._width -= 50; is what I'm really interested in. yspeed-= ypower; is just my movement, which works. So why doesn't my fuel width change?
I have wrtitten some code that draws a couple of lines with changing alpha and width whenever the mouse is moved. I need to convert this code to AS3 so that I can use it in conjunction with some video tracking.
Code:
var speed:Number = 100;
var myNumber:Number;
var myMax:Number = 50;[code]...
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

When creating banner ads, the weight is always an issue. One easy way to loose a few kb is to decrease the quality of any images in the ad. But how about your code? How does one efficiently slenderize Actionscript? Take a library such as TweenLite for instance, it consists of files above at least 60kb, but it only adds less than 5kb to your swf. Then again, I have written pieces of considerably lighter code, which in the end has added a lot more than 5kb to my swf.

I'm creating a game which features a top-down view of a character carrying a sack over their shoulder. The character moves by following the cursor and is always rotated to face it. I want to give the sack (which is a movie clip nested in the character) some 'weight' by having it rotate slightly more slowly then the character - i.e. when the character turns, the sack takes a moment to catch up. At the moment its orientation relative to the character doesn't change and the effect is a bit stiff. The code I'm using to rotate the character is along the lines of
