ActionScript 3.0 :: Positioning Changing With Embedding Of MovieClip?
Nov 15, 2008
I created a class called GameBoard that uses a pair offor-loops to populate a 2-dimensional array and display the array'selements in alternating rows of 14 and 13 objects respectively. Thefirst dimension of the array holds the arrays for each row of thegrid. The array for a row holds a set of objects from a class thatextends MovieClip. The objects are arranged with just enough roomfor each one.
The objects are displayed via addChild(). Their coordinatesare set via .x and .y properties. The intervals for theseproperties are unsigned integer values.When I test GameBoard on its own stage, everything worksperfectly. When I place a GameBoard object in another file,however, the spacing between the objects in GameBoard showsseemingly random changes, with some objects appearing to slightlyoverlap. The Stage of the file I am importing GameBoard into is

This is the third thread I've written for my current project (1st was answered perfectly, 2nd failed [but I still figured it out anyways]) but I'm not sure if there is a solution to this problem. I can't really explain my problem, so once again I've included a helpful animation to show you what I mean. Bear in mind that the pale-blue box represents the movie clip's borders, and those borders are usually changed to include the animation (instead of the borders moving with the animation, the borders get bigger).
For the animation problem, I've already got a solution: create an invisible movie clip that has the exact size and shape of the animated movie clip and make it follow the movie clip as it animates, and make the hitTest check the invisible movie clip instead of the animated one. As for the rotation problem, well, I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to change that?

I've tried several solutions to get this to work on a dynamically created text field. None of them get the job done.
The font I want to use (let's call it FancyFont) is in the library and does have actionscript linkage. It is exported in Frame 1.
Approach 1: Using CSS:
Since I would like to ultimately be able to change the string dynamically, I'm not loading from an external file.
Code:
var styleString="body{font-weight:bold; font-family:FancyFont;} .red {color:#cc0000}"
var style:StyleSheet=new StyleSheet();

I always run into the same bug concerning the x and y positioning of a Movie clip. When I try to get the X and Y values of a movie clip inside another movie clip, they aren't the same values (since I guess every MC has it's own x,y grid starting at point 0,0 where that MC is placed on the work area). How do I get the x and y values of a MC inside another MC when I want those values to be the same as the _root's x and y values? In other words: The movie clip that is inside the other one is moving on a simple guide path. I want to create "lasers" (or whatever) at its own coordinates every few seconds depending on where that moving MC is at when the shooting counter is up.

What I'm trying to do, is duplicate a movie clip an x amount of times, based on a variable loaded externally, not the problem though, got that working fine.My problem comes in while I'm trying to reposition the duplicated movies, to line up in a stacked order.It duplicates the movie the number of times I need it, but when trying to call upon the movie clip, which is the a=this["a"+i]; script, nothing happens, the clips don't get repositioned.[code]

Im trying to build a script that attaches and positions an instance of a movieclip for each node of an xml sheet. However, I can't seem to get it to loop properly. The script is simply attaching and positioning the movieclip according to the last node in the xml file. Here is my script:
Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML();

I have been wondering over this for a while now and I have tried a number of different soloutions to no avail. I am used to designing HMTL website but for a portfolio I would like to create a Flash site. One problem is dynamic screen sizes, although I have a soloution it isn't idealy what I would like.
My current soloution is to size the stage to a 1024 x 768 resoloution and scale it to 100% on a webpage. The background for my flash is massive, 1920 x 1080, equivelent to full HD size, to support as many screens as possible, the flash has a No Scale atribute. Unfortunatly this method dosen't only increase filesize, but makes the content restricted to a small area of the screen which looks terrible on large displays.

I'm new to AS 3.0 and I don't get this fluid thing fully. Everything works fine when I want my movieclip to align to the middle of the screen but when I try to make a button (or any movieclip) always align to bottom right I can't figure out how. Here's my AS, how do I make the "ball_mc" align bottom left?
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeListener);
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

I have one Sprite which acts as a container for two other Sprites. One has a picture the other has a series of hotspots.
If i change the scaleX and scaleY of the picture, the hotspots don't line up anymore. Do you know the correct equation so that any scale i set will always make the hotspots appear at the right place?
I'm trying stuff like this:
hotspot.x *= scaleFactor;
hotspot.y *= scaleFactor;
but i can't quite sort it.

We use
[Embed(source="assets/styles/basic/my_skins.swf",symbol="preloader_3")]
private var PreloaderAnim:Class;
for embedding a movieclip from an swf file.
How can I do the same using a CSS file (which is loaded at runtime) and use it in my class?

I have a class that extends a MovieClip and receives a MovieClip inside it. The movieclip is embedded like this:
[Embed(source='assets/emi_dir.swf')] protected var MyMovie:Class;
and I add it on the Parent constructor like this:
public function Item(content:DisplayObject) {
super();
var lines:Sprite = new Sprite();
[Code]....
When I add a Bitmap the Parent Item grows to accomodate the child, but this do not happen with SWF's...

I've reviewed all the documentation and Google results surrounding this and I think I have everything setup correctly. My problem is that the symbol is not appearing in my app. I have a MovieClip symbol that I've embedded to my Flex Component. I need to create a new Image control for each item from my dataProvider and assign this embedded symbol as the Image's source. I thought it was simple but apparently not.
Here's a stub of the code:
[Embed(source="../assets/assetLib.swf", symbol="StarMC")]
private var StarClass:Class;
protected function rebuildChildren():void {
iterator.seek( CursorBookmark.FIRST );
while ( !iterator.afterLast ) {
child = new Image();
var asset:MovieClipAsset = new StarClass() as MovieClipAsset;
(child as Image).source = asset;
}}
I know the child is being created because I can draw a shape and and that appears.

Basically, I want to change the colour of a component in my fla file that is called 'EDL Arrow' using Actionscript
'EDL Arrow' is a Movieclip and is part of another movileclip called 'EDLClipDisplay' - which exports to my actionscript file: 'Export: CIS.FLVPlayer.EDLClipDisplay'
How can I change the colour of the component 'EDL Arrow' from the actionscript file 'EDLClipDisplay'
I understand how to do colorTransforms but I just don't understand how to connect this component 'EDL Arrow' with my Actionscript file.

I am new to Flash and Actionscript and am currently working on some code pulled from another post to try and learn from what others are doing or have done. I have created a star movieclip and am attempting to move it randomly accross the stage in a relatively slow speed. When I run it, it moves randomly but way too fast. I have spent the last 6 hours playing with the code, researching help files and also looking up other discussions but nothing seems to be helping. Here is what I have so far. My apologies if the code looks like a hack. This is being done in CS4 if that matters at all. If anyone could shed some more light on how to handle controlling the speed or rate of random movement with some insight

Im trying to keep all my movieclips onto 1 layer/mother mc to speed up the flash display engine
I have these takable items(movieclips) that respawn after a while.
Initially i build the level starting with all the takable items before adding all the players/npc's. This way the player and npc's walk over the objects if they are not taken.
After an items respawns though, i have to re add them to the main mc and then they appear to be over the npc's and they seem to be moving under a carpet of stuff.
Its a nice 3d effect but totally unwanted in this scenario.
Is there a way to make sure that items are added as child before a certain clip (like the player). I tried using addchildat but this gives me a index error now and then. I dont really understand how the depths are worked out by flash.
I was thinking of storing the original depth of an item movieclip and then on restore, addchild at at its old depth. Or is there a more sensible way?
Also: can two movieclips occupy the same index/depth level? or are the incemented or something?

When you're in the flash application, you can watch the properties of an instance. In the properties tab, you can also click "Swap", this will ask you about which instance you would like to use. The original object will now change into another movieclip. So, how do I do this with Action Script?

I have this piece of actionscript working
Code:
var my_color = new Color("mymc");
my_color.setRGB(0xFF0000);
This works when I call the actionscript say from a button on the same timeline as the movieclip. What I can't get my head round is how I change the colour of an object on a different timeline, say if the path to the movieclip was _root.mc1.mc2.mymc

I have a movieclip which is dragged on to the stage, with the instance name "monster_0". The code tells it to execute the function "createNew Monster", which duplicates the Movie Clip, removes the original, and adds new variables to the new one (such as health, etc). However, when I go to edit the name of the movieclip, using code like this:[code]Flash flips out and tells me that I cannot edit the name of an object placed on the timeline.
