ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent MC Inherits Child MC's Height?

Oct 16, 2009

I have a SWF that I am making Full Screen.

In one of the children I have a drop down tween that tweens from outside of the Full Screen Dimensions... the problem is this Child Clips height effects the height of the whole entire movie; so that it messes up the dimensions of the whole project --- ie making everything smaller because it is expanding the height of the parent clip.

I'm not sure how to fix this; I've looked through all the movie clip properties and stage properties and can't find a way to make it so that this child height doesn't get added to the whole size of the SWF.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent.removeChild(child) Doesn't Update Parent Width / Height When Child Was Rotated

Jul 29, 2011

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.[code]Sprite2 is a rectangle. When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent.removeChild(child) Doesn't Update Parent Width/height When Child Was Rotated

Jul 29, 2011

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.

When Sprite2 is NOT rotated:

Code:
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 250.
SpriteP.removeChild(Sprite2)
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 200. -> works, 200 is good.
When Sprite2 is rotated at 90:

And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200. But if I rotate Sprite2, the Parent won't update its bounds.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Positioning Parent MC In Order To Center Child MC On Parent's Parent MC

Feb 5, 2010

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

Flex :: Layout - Set Height Of Accordion To Height Of Tallest Child

Apr 5, 2010

By default the height of an Flex Accordion container is the height of the initially selected child. I'd like to be able to set the height to the tallest child so that no resizing or scrolling is necessary when other children are selected. I do not want to use the resizeToContent property. I want the size of the container to stay constant no matter what child is selected.

My current thought is to extend the accordion class setting the creation policy to "all" and then override the measure function to loop through all the children and find the tallest one and use that for the height. This seems a little kludgy though, so I'd like to know if there is a better approach. Ultimately my question is: is there a way to set the size of an accordion container such that the container never resizes and scoll bars are never necessary to display any of the children?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent.height Vs Parent.stageHeight?

Sep 15, 2009

I want to place an object either directly on stage or in some other movieClip but I need to read parent height to align it properly from the bottom.I thought I could use this and it will work for both the stage and the movieClip and I could get away with one line of code:

Code:
trace(parent);
//[Object Stage]
trace(parent.height);

but this doesnt work for stage, I need to use this:

Code:
trace(parent.stageHeight);

which is the same as this: so obviusly I need to ask first whether the parent is the stage, so I can find the height...So what is parent.height actually outputting?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Clip To The Stage As A Child And Remove The Parent And Set The Parent Equal To Null?

Sep 11, 2010

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child? 

In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.

If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tab Indexing Loop Through Parent, External Child Swf, Back To Parent?

Nov 11, 2009

I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.

I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.

ActionScript 3.0 :: DropTarget Parent Child - Removechild Won't Remove A Child

Aug 21, 2010

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

Flash - Drag Child Mc Out Of Parent Mc And Add To New Parent Mc?

Oct 6, 2010

Here is a working script to drag drop a ball from the stage into another target mc:

ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ [code]...

It works well but I'm new to AS3 and I am having difficulty amending this script to drag the ball out of a parent mc (instead of the stage) and onto another mc (the target mc). To explain: imagine a ball, a box, a tri, + more shapes all within a scrolling mc (initial parent), the user scrolls to select a shape, then drag-drops onto a target mc on the stage.The scrolling is no problem, but how would you amend the script above so that the ball can start inside a parent mc rather than on the stage itself?

Flex :: VBox Doesn't Add Child If All The Objects' Height Over The VBox's Height?

I have a VBox with fixed width and height, and I add image objects with fixed width and height. I find that if my objects' height exceed the VBox's height, it doesn't show the object. I tried validateNow(), but it doesn't work. The object is added, but VBox just doesn't display it, so it leaves a blank with a same height as my other object.

Flex :: VGroup - (Parent) Container Does Not Change Height With Children?

May 13, 2011

I have code like the following:
<s:VGroup gap="10" id="group" height="100%">
<s:Label text="This is page 2" />
<s:Button content="Resize Canvas" click="resize(event);"/>
<mx:Canvas id="photoCanvas" color="#567898" backgroundColor="#125567">
</mx:Canvas>
</s:VGroup>

I don't understand why the following does not work:
Pushing the Button resizes the photoCanvas's height (gets taller or smaller). Since the photoCanvas control is a child element of the VGroup shouldn't the container update itself to the new height? The Vgroup has ALWAYS the same height, no matter what the (total) height of the children is! I would like the VGroup to adjust itself and get a height value equal to the sum of its children heights. Is this not possible??

Flash - Children Movieclips Doesn't Show Its Width And Height According To Parent Movieclip

Jul 19, 2011

I have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .

I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.

Flex :: Dispatch An Event From A Class That Inherits From EventDispatcher?

Nov 23, 2009

What I want to do is to dispatch the click event when the component is clicked. (The class is essentially some text in a textfield that needs to be able to do certain things, and it needs to be able to respond to a click). Sounds easy enough... I want the event dispatched when that portion of the text is clicked. But uh...how? it's not like a button where I can just go myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClickHandler);That's clear, because some component is going to be listening for the Click event dispatched when myButton is clicked. It is built into the AS3 framework that a button knows how to listen for a click event.

After the import statements I've got:[Event(name="click" type="mx.events.Event")]How do I dispatch the event when the component is clicked, when the component doesn't yet know how to respond to a click event? I've tried adding an event listener in the textfield which contains this custom class of text, but nothing's happening because the Click event hasn't been dispatched.
