Clip A masks clip B. I desperatly need to know C dimensions, without taking in account the masker. In other words, If I check for example C.height, I should retrieve 2 different values before and after applying the mask to B. In other, other words, I'm looking for a way to retrieve the Rectangle of C's viewable area. getBounds/Rect() don't work for this

View 3 RepliesI have a preloader at the beginning of my flash movie that looks like this.[code]Which works perfectly. However as the movie contains a fairly large number of bitmaps I wanted to know how to preload the main flash movie and for the bitmaps (which are movie clips) to preloaded separately. I cant quite get my head around how this might be done.
View 9 Repliesis there any way to exclude some classes from a swf file.As you can imagine, I need to create kind of "dll" swf files (that is i want to avoid any duplication of my classes)I'd like to be able to exclude superclasses as well. Generally, most components will extend the same superclasses. I don't want to include the superclasses in my swf file.

I have a code library that I have built. It relies on 2 other (third party) libraries. At the moment, when I compile the library into a swc, both third party libraries are included. I am looking for a way to compile my code library against the third party libraries, but without including them in the compiled swc.
This would obviously mean that anyone using my library would need both libraries as well, but I would prefer it this way. I am not using Flex/Flashbuilder which I know allows you to choose the classes to include in a swc.
So, 8 weeks ago I started with my GameDevelopment branch of the MediaTechnology tree at my school, and I am currently in my 1st week of the 2d Semester (or Period, as we call it here), and AS3 is introduced this time (last Period were GameMaker and XNA). There's a problem though.. I have to work with Arrays now, and last time I worked with Arrays was during PHP last year; almost half a year ago >_<"

I have a long log in a simple TextField, simply adding new lines of text when needed. I wanted to make some of the lines different color but while adding new line (simply as myTextField.text += '' + log; ) all the previous text formatting is erased. There is a tiny note in the doc:Notice that any text inserted manually by the user, or replaced by means of the replaceSelectedText() method, receives the text field's default formatting for new text, and not the formatting specified for the text insertion point.If I get it right the I want to load an image using loadMovie,.. and then dynamically draw a border arround it... but i need to get the dimensions of the pic...I dont know why btusing_root.container.img.pic._width isn't working...

View 1 RepliesI've created an empty movieclip in _root and loaded an image into it but whenever I do trace(_root.newMC._width) I get a 0! I've had this problem in the past but never really looked into it!
I have the following code:
Code:
with _root {
createEmptyMovieClip("file", 0).loadMovie("someimg.jpg");
["file"]._x = (Stage.width - ["file"]._width) / 2;
["file"]._y = (Stage.height - ["file"]._height) / 2;
lineStyle(3, 000000, 100);
[Code] .....
The problem I'm having with this is that when it looks for Stage.width it's actually trying to find _root.Stage.width. How do I get around that without breaking out of the 'with'?

View 3 RepliesHow do I programatically get the pixel dimensions of my SWF. I tried using stage.width and stage.height, but this seems to be a tight bounding box on all the objects in the video, not the actual viewing area.

View 4 RepliesI've just finished working on an extensive HD intro for my website, which is in 1280x720 resolution.
At the moment, my site has a splash page with 3 buttons on it:
B1) opens the site in fullscreen mode
B2) opens the site in normal window mode
B3) opens a new browser window linking to my intro
Here's the AS code I'm using for my intro button:
Actionscript Code:
intro_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("[URL]", "_blank");};
I'm wondering if there is a way to somehow specify in that code segment what dimensions I'd like the new window to have? I know this can be accomplished in JavaScript with something like this:
Actionscript Code:
<a href="javascript:void(0)"onclick="window.open('[URL]','height=1280, width=720,scrollbars=no')">intro</a>
I've already tried putting the intro on it's own separate HTML page, but because of resolution and other background contrast issues, I've found that it undoubtedly looks best in a window that is resized to its specific dimensions, rather than having extra space around the edges, top, and bottom.
