I have a website made with flash and I have added all the pages inside a movieclip and this moviclip is centered in the stage using event. Resize and event.Enterframe. But now the problem is..although the gallery (which is an external swf) is inside this movieclip it doesn't stick to this stage.rezise event. How can I control this gallery.
View 1 RepliesHow do a make a center a mc automaticly on the stage with aS. The script should detect what the stage size is and move the mc to the middle. I am making smartclip-preloader and want to be as productive as possible later on.
View 4 RepliesI'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.
View 1 RepliesWhen I open a new document in flash, the stage is in the top left corner of my screen and I cannot figure how to center it in the middle. I cannot go to the left or above the stage which is making it very difficult to work with as I cannot access those areas.
View 1 RepliesI have a movieClip that starts out a a specific scale. I then tween the images properties and as it tweens it also scales again. What I'm trying to do as it tweens and scales its obviously changes the width and height of the movieClip. So I'm trying to constantly keep the clips position in the center of the stage.
I'm using tweenMax and I tired an update event so I could keep checking the width and height of the clip as it scales and then using this code to center it but it doesn't seem to be centering the image. On other thing to note is my MovieClip is using its top left corner as the registration point.

I've come across a new snag to a previous project. I'm not quite sure why, but when the full image is loaded to the stage, it is not centering it properly. The trace of fullLoader returns "0" for the width and height of the full-sized image, and I'm not quite sure how to pass the necessary information into the showPicture function so that it correctly centers the image. I tried tracing the content of fullLoader and got an error message.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm heaving trouble centering the preloader on the center of the stage. The preloader is basically a rotating oval shape.
so, below is the code that for some reson puts the circle in the top left corner...
Code:
stop();
var circle:LoadCircle = new LoadCircle();
var circle_WIDTH:Number = circle.width;
[Code]....
meaning... the stage is not static, but it dynamically shrinks and expands to the size of the oval preloader...
how to make the stage "static" so that when I set the size in the document properties, centering an object in AS3 will stick to it?
I'm having trouble with the positioning of objects within the NativeWindow. So my code below creates a NativeWindow, and then draws a rectangle and adds it to the stage of the NativeWindow. I can't seem to have the rectangle centered in the window. I've tryed playing with the stage scale mode, and align properties. By default the align should be center, but it doesn't appear to be the case. The rectangle seems to be drawn from somewhere between the center and top left of the window. I've also drawn a rectangle onto the main app window using identical code.
Code:
import flash.display.NativeWindowInitOptions;
import flash.display.NativeWindow;
var NWIO = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
[code]....
Left window is the main app, and the right window is the NativeWindow.
i've created a rotating banner with images and wanted to increase the stage size so i can put an opaque larger image in the background and have the other images rotate on top of it. when i made the stage larger i'm having difficulty selecting the other photos so i can center them back on the on the stage. i was able to get the first image centered but i only see the outline of the other images.

View 5 RepliesI would like to call up images from myXML and I would like to center them on the stage. Each object is a different size therefore I can't place them to a set _x position. Hopefully someone may have the answer.... here's the function that will call up the firstimage:
function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
var myHoriTween:Tween = new Tween(content_mc, "_x", normal, 0, 480, .75, true);
content_mc.loadMovie(image[0]+".jpg", 1);
content_mc_num();
}
The highlighted '480' is the number i would like to replace to center. I'm not being to vague with this request, otherwise i'll offer more information.
I have a picture of a mine which is nested within an object, nested within another object. Now what I want it that on the keypress of shift, I created mine image at the same position of the tank. The issue is that the main object that is nesting the mine moves, thus not creating at the the center, rather on that position of the object.
Here are how my images go by instance names;
1. Tank Stays in the center
//////

1. Land (moves) -- 2b. map -- 3b. All objects that hitTest

2a. Objects

3b. All the objects that don't get hit (in here is mine.)
I use an event listener to detect keyboard activity and it is working fine, but when I add a MovieClip to the stage, the event is no more triggered, I need to click on the stage to get it active.The MovieClip fills all the stage, and I tried to add the same event listener to it, but still I need to click on it to get the event listener active.
View 11 RepliesIn the code below, I have created an instance of the DrawLineChart class called LineChart1.When I test the movie, it shows up on the stage just fine and when I click on it, I can use a trace command to get a string statement written to the output window. However, now I want to be able to click on LineChart1 on the stage and have it be removed. When I do that, I get an error message 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1.
why I'm unable to refer to my instance LineChart1 and what I need to do so that I can refer to it and remove it when it gets clicked? why the trace statement works when I click on LineChart1 during runtime, but not the removechild command.
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code]....
trace("hello"); // This works. When I click on the LineChart1 MovieClip on the stage during runtime, I get "hello" as an output. removeChild(LineChart1); // throws an error 1120: Access of undefined property LineChart1.
got MC A and MC B. MC B is directly under MC A. They are both indepedent on the stage, meaning they are not children of a bigger mc container. They both have rollover events, how can I activate the rollover events of MC B??Im aware of mouseChildren and mouseEnabled, but that requires them to be in the same container...
View 3 RepliesI have a movieClip on stage, inside is a dynamic textfield, and I have set mc.scaleY = 0;
Code:
mc.scaleY = 0;
mc.buttonMode = true;
mc.mouseChildren = false;
And suddenly everything above and below (on the whole stage) where the movieClip actually is receives mouse, I can see by the button mode. But it only happens with dynamic text, not static.
I have attached the example:
There is a button inside MovieClip1 and once it is clicked movieclip2 apeares inside movieclip3.
View 3 RepliesI want to center a big movieclip (1400 px wide) on my stage on stage resize. This big movieclip moves to the right on certain events so I can't use code like this:
currentPage.x = ((stage.stageWidth/2) - (currentPage.width/2))
Is there a way to maybe use its offset from 0 (the left side of the stage 'viewport') and use that offset in centering? The movieclip only changes in x.
having some problems with having my mc's always center in t5he middle of the browser window even when it resizes??

I'm currently working in Flash 8 with Actionscript 2.0.
I've been trying different alternatives and none of them are working. I've even posted here previously and tried a few things but I haven't quite resolved my centering to stage problem. Some of you may have already read pieces of this from another post.
I have a landscape that functions sort of like a 360 vr tour. The main movie clip directly on the stage is labeled, "mainMovie", and within it is another movieclip labeled, "singleStrip".
To simulate the 360 vr tour, there's script inside, "mainMovie" to duplicate "singleStrip". Also, inside the "singleStrip" movie clip, I have different elements appearing through the landscape, in this case, we'll use letters as an example. The letters A - Z are sitting on the landscape throughout the entire "singleStrip" movie clip.
Everything rotates fine with the script that's placed some sensitive area movie clips that are placed on the root level. When you place your mouse pointer to the left edge of the stage, the landscape shifts left, when you move the mouse pointer to the right edge, the landscape shifts right, (or vice versa, I can't remember).
The problem I'm having is for the letters that are in view on the stage, I want the user to be able to "click" on them and then that letter zoom up to the center of the stage, (through the "x" coordinate). I'm having difficulty with this since the letter movieclips, (example, "letterA"), are within the "singleStrip" movie clip, which sits inside the "mainMovie" movie clip, which are both constantly moving and their x position continues to change.
I've been using the tween class in order to animate them with easing and it's usually the "endx" variable that I'm having trouble because I don't know how I can match it up to the center of the stage, whether it's a "endx = stage.width._x /2; " or something else. Here's an example of some of the [code]...
My problem should be simple but I'm still having trouble. I am making a comic that appears on screen one frame at a time based off of on of the first flash tutorials that come with the program. It allows the user to click a button to move to the next frame. My problem is that the smaller frames need to be centered on the stage.
Here is the code I have so far
/* 0 */
var image0title:String = "Dr. Berg's Clinic. 1 of 4";
var image0uri:String = "images/Berg_frame_1.jpg";
/* 1 */
var image1title:String = "Dr. Berg's Clinic. 2 of 4";
var image1uri:String = "images/Berg_frame_2.jpg";

My stage is set at a height of 350 px and a width of 500 px and the largest image is a height of 319 px and width of 500 px (the remaining 31 px are where I put the description and the button). The smaller images are a height of 319 px and a width of 166px and need to be centered.
I have this flash website where i use Stage.scaleMode to dynamically resize the swf depending on the browser size. (i use A.script 2.0). So the width takes the whole screen and the height is scaled in proportion. My design is in a landscape format. It works fine, except that i need the swf to also be vertically centered in the browser Window. (explanantion - on certain screens, example a 19 inch PC monitor which is quite "squared", my flash movie expands the whole way across the width, and the height in proportion, but as my design is in landscape, i have a big empty space in the browser below the swf.)
This is how it is: This is how it should be:
Here is the code:
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"
Stage.align = "TL";

its a simple 6 thumbnail gallery with coded tweens. Once a thumbnail is clicked then its attached larger image is meant to display on the screen, this seems to only work after the first click of a thumbnail once the image appears then is clicked it dissapears, and this function only used to work once but now it only works twice, exept the second time around the larger image cannot be removed from the stage, could it be a swapDepths issue?here is my code, i have only fully coded the first thumbnail top left. find attached my swf for the file,

I got this far with my images display. I found code and it was able to work, but I'm not savvy enough with the code to unload images.I have 'searched' thru kirupa to see if someone had something similar. Found other 'centering images' type .fla's, but can't connect them to mine.I don't want to change the navigation or the way I have it set up -- I need it scripted frame-by-frame as it is. I was hoping someone knows how to get the images to 'unload' as you press each button.

im loading photos of different aspect ratios with a loader onto a child holder frame_mc. I wanted to know what AS3 commands do i need to work on to get the frame_mc to resize to the new childs dimensions and centerize itself on the main stage? (as in event listeners, functions, vars etc)
View 3 RepliesI'm loading an external movieclip into an empty movieclip which is inside of another movieclip. But the movieclip I'm loading isn't properly centering to the top movieclip.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("side2", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.side2.loadMovie("skins/default/red.swf");
this.side2._x = this._x;
[Code]....
Way way way off of the top movieclip. I'd at least expect side2's 0,0 point to be in the upper left which would snap to the center point of this. But not even close.
i have a movieclip(content_mc) that contains 4 movieclips(img1, img2, img3, img4) of different widths within it. The content_mc has been scaled to the browser using _xscale and _yscale. so if i want to center img1 on the screen the math WITHOUT content_mc being scaled would look like this
Code:
Stage.width/2-(content_mc._width - content_mc.img4._width - content_mc.img3._width - content_mc.img2._width - content_mc.img1._width/2)
but being the fact that it's scaled...it returns the original _width values of the nested movieclips. How do i get the values of the new, scaled widths?
I'm having trouble to center any dynamic content (movieclips, textfields...) inside a dynamically created movieclip, which has a default point of interested in the top left corner.
PS: Just as an example, I have a dynamically created text field inside a dynamically created movieclip....and when I try to scale that movieclip I need to scale it from its center
