ActionScript 3.0 :: Position Objects By Percent?
Jul 14, 2009
The buttons are all set up in Action Script and not placed on the timeline at all.Here is the code for postion on the buttons.I do not want to move the buttons by PixelsI would like to move the buttons by Perectage so it will look the same on all computer monitors.The person that I am editing the file for would like them in the bottom left of the screen.Here I have moved them by Pixels but these buttons do not appear in the same place on all monitors.
///////let's set the position of
the buttons across the bottom of the screen
b1.move(-350,150);

I have 4 objects that I all want to have their own velocities. I have a bunch of variables (each one has a different value):
PHP Code:
public var vx1:Number;public var vx2:Number;public var vx3:Number;public var vx4:Number;
Rather than having a function for each object to say:
PHP Code:
function1 { this.x = vx1}function2 { this.x = vx2}function3 { this.x = vx3}function4 { this.x = vx4}
I'd like to have a for loop to have my objects x position to += vx(1 through 4):
PHP Code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<5; i++) {
this.x += (vx+[i]);
}
So I tried the above with a combination of " " around different parts of (vx+[i]) but I realized that turning any of it into a string means 'this.x' cannot read it because x has to be a number not a string. So how can I make this.x = vx1 then vx2 and so on with a for loop?

A Flex project exported as a Projector, showing fullscreen. The project has a background and several dots which each represent a "Location". These locations are fetched from an XML file and have their position set in percentages. The location in pixels is calculated (this works as it should) by the width and height of the Application. The dots are placed correctly. The background is a JPG with a resolution of 1280*1024. At this moment, the background is set on a Canvas with backgroundSize = auto. This places the image in the center without stretching it. Stretching results in ugly, pixelated images and tears the proportions apart.
Problem When we view the project on 2 different resolutions (1 = 1280*1024; 2 = 1024*768), the dots are in the good position, the background image is sharp. But - because of the background having the same resolution as 1, the background isn't fully shown in resolution 2 (because it isn't stretched. A logic result. That's why I tried stretching the background. The results:

I know how to ease objects from one position to another etc, but how do you make it ease position as well as transparency? so it fades in while moving to it's new position?
Code:
var WelTween:Tween = new Tween(welcome, "x", Strong.easeOut, CurMarkXPosWel, 277, 2, true)
is there a way to add like 0% opacity to 100% opacity in the same line of code or do you do seperate?

Is it possible to place object on stage with positions read from a CSS file?Basically what I want is to create themes for the application. As and when a different theme is selected, xy position, skins and colors of objects should get applied accordingly.How far its practical? If this is not practical could any one suggest a better way of applying theme

I have a script where i need an objects X and Y Position to change when you enter a certain frame.
On layer 1 i have an input text field with the instance of "message_txt" that runs along all 5 frames in the timeline.
On layer 2 i have 5 frames each with its own actionscript on. The user navigates between frames with simple 'gotoAndStop(4)' etc... on each next or back button.[code]...

I have several objects, moveclip, graphics and shapes in several layers keys and want to change position, for example, a moveclip is in the position X: 218 Y:45 and so in other key layers,To change it to X: 240 Y: 50, I go to keyframe for keyframe touch the object and go to properties and change one by one is annoying.Is there any way to do this more quickly at one time in all key frames?

I am trying to do adjustment of position (x and y) of display objects, relative to other display objects. In other words: I have two Sprite objects (rectangle and circle). The rectangle can have their width changed during execution. Yet the circle has a fixed size. What I do is this: regardless of the width of the rectangle, the circle is positioned at the far right of this rectangle.
I tried as follows:
ActionScript Code:
rectangle.width = someValue;
circle.x = rectangle.x + (rectangle.width-circle.width);
In theory it should work, but look what happens:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/837/positionq.png
As the width of the rectangle increases the distance from the desired location also increases.
Using:
ActionScript Code:
trace (rectangle.width);
I realized that the value of property 'width' does not match the exact amount of pixels that the object is wide. I just did a test and realized that this problem only happens when the rectangle has edge. When the rectangle has only fill, this problem does not occur.

I'm trying to create 49 total objects, each 50x50 px. And position them in 7 rows and 7 columns. I think I must use nested for loops but this is all Ive come up with.

for(i2=1;i2<=7;i2++) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.tMain,"targ"+i+i2,i+i2);

Right now I'm working on a website that has movie clips that I want to tween back and forth across the stage when a button is pressed.
Here's the idea:
When 2_btn is pressed, I want 1_mc, 2_mc, and 3_mc to move from right to left and then stop when 2_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 3_btn is pressed I want all three to be animated from right to left until 3_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 1_btn is pressed I want all three to move from right to left until 1_mc is positioned on the stage, then stop moving and play
Basically I have no idea how to accomplish this, or how to word it into Google.
What I have right now, which obviously isn't accomplishing what I want is:
Tween from left to right across the timeline, and then using a gotoAndPlay, and then stop(); on the frame..

I have a flash script which creates instances of movie clips and stores them in an array. What I want the script to perform next, is when clicking a "save" button the position and the movieclip class name of each created instance will be sent to an external script to store.

I've been trying to sort objects depths based on their Y position but have not been able to do it efficiently. I was able to successfully sort objects with a selection sort algorithm and a quick sort algorithm; however, both have only been partly successful. Selection sort gets about 8-10/30 FPS with 13 objects and gets about 14-18/30 FPS. This is not good enough as I figure I could have as many as a hundred objects to be sorted at once.
After digging around, I found that array.sort() is more efficient than a quick sort implemented in AS3 and that calling swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() at every swap was bogging it down. So now I am copying the objects array and sorting it with sort() and then comparing the two and swapping displayObjects so as only to call the swapChildren() or swapChildrenAt() method once per element. It appears to be running, and at full speed, though it won't swap correctly. Here is my code:

I want the diameter of the 'balls' orbit to change dependant on the position of the mouse but keep the point of rotation exactly the middle of the stage at all times.I.e. if the mouse is hovering over the exact center (both X+Y) of the stage then the 'ball' should have a tiny diameter of rotation (but contstantly follows the orbit in clockwise direction) whilst if you move the mouse towards the edge of the stage then the diameter of the orbit of the ball will increase.Here is the AS which controls a blank movieclip;
var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();
orb1.addChild(sp)
var g: Graphics =sp.graphics

If you wanted to create a client-side Flash-based sound editor that lets you load more than 1 sound to an interface that allows you to manipulate the individual positions of the sounds, and mix/play them in real time, how would you accomplish this?
I'm looking to create a simple version that can mix 2 mp3s, allowing the user to adjust the positions of each. Sort of a dumbed down version of Aviary's Myna audio editor.
At the end of the mixing, I would also like our server to mix the 2 mp3 files with the proper positioning into 1 mp3 file...

I've put together this simple code for an SWF with three roll over images (called: Training, Resources and Contact).When I roll over Training I would like the symbol Training_txt to tween its alpha to 1 (from 0) and tween its y axis to 220 (from 83).When I roll out of Training I would like to run the two tweens in reverse.
This works fine for each of the three roll over images, so long as each tween is allowed to fully execute before a new tween is started. The problem arises if i quickly move the mouse curser between the three roll over images before the previous tweens have finished executing.In this instance, the tweened objects start to behave erratically. They usually return to their original position as per the roll_out tween but then start jumping between y axis 200 and y axis 83 (without tweening - they just appear).
Code below -
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code]..........

is there a way to have (the postion of) objects be dependant of another one? I have attached a simple .fla file with two boxes (MovieClips) that grow in height. Since the position of the bottom box is constant, the top box soon expands "into" the one below so that parts of it are hidden. What I want is that the gap between those two objects stays constant (in this case 50px). So, is there any way to make the position of one object dependant on (the size of) another? Or is there any other "workaround"/tip you can give me?

I have a vertical list of movieclips added to the stage all spaced out evenly from top to bottom based of the last movieclips position. I also have defined a center Y point which I would like to find out the percentage of each clip away from that center point. The reason for this number is to scale everything from the center point which is scale 1 then they next item from the center would scale to a percentage from the center point. each clips scaling percentage would be based off of how far they are from the center point in each direction. Keeping in mind the center point is always scale to 1. I also want to make sure my scale never goes below 0.3 so the range has to be between 0.3 and 1 my centerY is also not half the height of the content but a number I decide. AS it the content might be 1000 in height but the center point could be set to 300.
