Is there a easy way to scale the part of a masked movieclip that the user sees to a specific height? I want to ignore the masked part but scaleX scales using the dimensions of the mask.I'm assuming you can do this using bounds and getting the difference but am having trouble figuring this out.
View 1 Repliesi am trying to scale a movie clip to certain pixel dimensions with easing. I have four buttons on the stage and one mc( a square). when a button is pressed i want to scale the mc to a certain size. i.e button 1 scales the mc to 200 pixels by 500 pixels.
View 3 RepliesAS3 Movie clip does not have .setMask() method, but it has .mask property. What is the syntax to set a mask on movie clip A (mcA) using movie clip B (mcB) mith .mask parameter in AS3?
mcA.setMask(mcB); // does not work in AS3 (no setMask() method any more)
mcA.mask = mcB; //does not do the job either
I'm working on a map project with several movie clips that are dragged and dropped onto their respective movie clips. PROBLEM:
Initially, draggable movie clips are reduced their original size. When they are dropped onto their matching movie clip, I would like them to take the dimensions of the movies placed on the map. How to do that?
HERE IS MY CODE
stop();
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
var finalX:Number;

Im trying to downgrade an AS3 project i have and i've run into a bit of an issue. Specifically... when loading an external movieclip using MovieClipLoader i want to access the stage height and width of the movie. I have tried using:
[Code]...
I have a main flash container move that loads in multiple swf files. I created a movieclip container in the main flash container that resizes and positions according to the stage height and width as follows:
Code:
swf_width=stage.stageWidth;
swf_height=stage.stageHeight;
new_container_height=swf_height;
[Code].....
This works fine if no graphics are off the stage in the loaded swfs. Otherwise if I have a scrolling menu and the buttons out width the containing mc it takes into account the masked content width and centers the movieclip accordingly throwing alignment off.
Is there a way to ignore masked content when getting stage width and height?
I'm trying to achieve this kind of menu effect:[URL] I would like to have the menu centered under the main movie clip and follow it as it tweened to its different dimensions. I can get kinda close, but it never works out right.
View 2 Repliesi've got 5 images. i want the following things to happen:
1. the placeholder movie clip automatically tweens to adjust to the image's dimensions.
2. the transition between each image is a la: [URL] -- front page when you enter
3. the images stay on the screen for approx. 5 seconds each.

What is the AS needed to scale a movie clip? I want it to be at 0% and then increase to 100%. I've searched through the forums and haven't found what I'm looking for yet - I'm a complete newbie when it comes to AS but here's what I have:
onClipEvent (load) {
_xscale = 0;
_yscale = 0;

How would I create a something that dynamically places buttons and things near the edges of a Flash movie that don't scale, even when the .swf is embedded with different dimensions?ort of (exactly) like YouTube's embeddable video player...
View 1 RepliesI've jumped in head first into Actionscript and I'm working my way through Adobe's Classroom in a Book for AS3. I've just completed chapter 4 and am currently trying to solve the "try on your own" problems at the end of the chapter.

I'm trying to make a zoom in and out effect, on images in a movieclip, using the mouse wheel. But, there is another mouse event that scrolls through the frames of the movie clip. I need it to stay zoomed in, and out respectively, when you scroll to the next frame.
View 0 RepliesI have a quicktime video at 620x480 that I would like to keep sharp and clean with no pixelation or video grain. Unfortunately, the client would like the rest of the movie to scale to 100% (the movie is a flash projector file and is not browser based). I'm aware of full browser flash option when the stage is set to "noScale", but is it possible to have a clip that loads into a scaled projector at fixed resolution? So far my approach is this:small flash projector file to "embed" flash player. This would be at 100% scale mode. Then I would have the video clip load into the main projector clip (as a .swf). The external clip (video) would be set to "noScale" mode. Would this adhere or would the noScale be overruled by the projector scale mode?

I'm creating a simple liquid flash site layout with one MC that does not scale and remains at a constant position, and one mc that should stretch to fit either the height or width (whichever's larger) of the stage, but scale proportionally. I thought I had a pretty good grasp on the code for that, but when I put it in, the mc doesn't scale at all, in fact it just disappears! Could anyone take a look and let me know if you see what's wrong?

I have Flash CS4 and I'm developing an RPG game. My goal is to dynamically change the weapon/armor the main hero has on according to what the player has on. I think the term is paper dolling. Basically I want to be able to set a point in which a graphic (movie clip/w.e) can be place permanently and I can load images to it via actionscript 3. I want the point to stay on the hero becuase I plan to move him and animate him and I want to be able to have it so that all it takes is me loading an image to the hero so it will basically "mask" over him. Hope you guys understand what I'm saying, I'm having a hard time figuring this out.
