Flash - Change MovieClip Width Along With Dynamic TextField Size Inside

Apr 21, 2009

I am a newbie in Flash CS3. How to resize the width of of a movie clip according to the size the size of dynamic text inside it. I did it by creating a text field 'myText' and then converted it to a MovieClip symbol and named the MovieClip as myClip. The text in myText is assigned at run-time and its width changes according to the text.

I did it as follows:-
myClip.myText.selectable = false;
myClip.mouseChildren = false;
myClip.useHandCursor = true;
myClip.buttonMode = true;
myClip.myText.width = myClip.myText.textWidth + 5;

On doing this I find the clickable area changes according to the size of the text field but the text field doesn't appear at all.

I am working on to slide a movieclip across the stage.The movie clip is five times the width of the stage and I am using the Tween  Class to move it across the stage when a button is pressed.The interaction I want is that when the button is pressed the movie clip moves a certain amount.If the button is pressed again it moves further.The script I have come up with though is taking the movieclip back to the original position of the movieclip and then moving it as opposed to moving it from the position it reached after the first button click.I have tried a few things but nothing is working.The script I am using at present is:[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing TextField In Child?

Sep 2, 2009

I have a video gallery that generates a menu from xml.I first create a container then add textfields as menu items to the container I have listeners for mouse OVER on OFF for each menu item as welll as a function to change the text color ON CLICK.What I need to do is figure out how to switch a previously clicked menu item's text color back to "OFF" color when a new menu item is clicked But I Can not figure out how to traverse the display heiracrhy to get to the textField's color in all the other menu items.

heres the function:

ActionScript Code:
//create Moviclip to hold menu
function createMenuContainer():void
{

[code]....

so the video menu item's heirachy is some thing like

getChildByName("menu_container").getChildByName("v ideo_"+ c).getChildByName("title_text").textColor

but of course this does not work. I think my logic is reasonably sound I just not sure of the correct syntax to get at the textField.textColor of all the other menu items that ARE NOT clicked on the Mouse Click Event of a menu item that is clicked.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Tween Size - Rollover And Rollout Buttons?

Nov 6, 2005

I'm working on a flash 8 portfolio and using the TWEEN class. First I create 5 buttons:
Code:
for (i=0;i<5;i++) {
var button:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("PButton", "button"+i, i);

I load different image for each button and then I create some rollover effects:
Code:
button.onRollOver=function() {
var tweenin=new Tween(this, "_width", Elastic.easeOut, 103, 203, 20, false);
new Tween(this, "_height", Elastic.easeOut, 75, 198, 20, false);
[Code] .....

This works only half the time. Sometimes, a tween is'nt finished correctly. I have a feeling this has something to do with the fact that while (elastic) tweening, my rollover and rollout are fired again (without moving the mouse). Any general solution for size tweening?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tween Child Display Object Index Getting Screwed Up?

May 1, 2009

I have a set of buttons which trigger menu panels to tween up from below the screen. I want these menu panels to be displayed behind the buttons (which are displayed on the button edge of the screen). So I add the menus to the parent container, then I add the buttons, so that the menus would be behind the buttons and getChildIndex(buttons) = 1 and getChildIndex(menus) = 0.

The menus are correctly displayed behind the buttons when I comment out the tween code. But when I implement the tweens and start the tween of the menus, they do their motion tween but are displayed in front of the buttons instead of behind; somehow their display object index order got screwed up.from the Menu class:

Code:
this.tweenIn = new Tween(this, "y", Regular.easeOut, stageHeight, stageHeight - this.height, 2, true);
this.tweenOut = new Tween(this, "y", Regular.easeOut, stageHeight - this.height, stageHeight, 2, true);[code].....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Menu Popup Child And Tween Off Stage

Sep 30, 2011

I have several objects on the stage and a MouseOver on any of these will add a menu popup child and tween it from off the stage. A MouseOut will tween the menu away and remove the menu with removeChild. Heres the bug: If I mouse out and then quickly mouse over the same object while the menu is tweening away before it has been removed, it doesn't add the menu again, and then on the next mouse out, it tries to remove the child menu, which isn't currently a child because it was just removed, and

I get the error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at menucaller/tweenOffTimerEnd()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()

Is there a way I can use an if statement to make sure that the menu is a child of the parent before removing it?
