Actionscript 3 :: Setting Width And Height Of A Sprite Container?
Feb 27, 2011I know this might seem like such an easy issue and I can't understand why I cant figure it out but none the less I can't and I've just about given up. Here's the issue:
I have a sprite container which is supposed to hold a bunch of thumbnails to videos. I am able to populate the container with all the videos and the whole works but obviously if I add a bunch of videos its going to exceed the size of the flash document so I need to add a UIScrollBar (which I did) now the scrollbars target is set to the container but isnt allowing me to scroll and if im correct this is because the container doesnt have a set height. So Im trying to set the height of this container but the second I try setting the height or even width all my thumbnails I used to be able to see are gone! It's as if the size is being set to 0 when its not I've even tried to set it to a specified size just to test and nothing.

Flash :: Setting Width For Sprite's Child Image?
Aug 9, 2011I've a slider class (SliderUI) and I'm passing slider and track images to that class as sprites.
What I'm trying to do is, passing one more image as sprite and changing its width for doing masking in slider. (It will expand or collapse as you move volume slider)
When I try to change width of sprite, it doesn't show up and I guess sprite is just container and resizing it makes it disappeared.
So how can I resize sprite with its child image (it's loaded by a Loader object by the way)?
Actionscript 3 :: Class Extending Sprite - Set The Sprite's Width And Height Properties?
Mar 5, 2010I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.

Dec 14, 2011I am using a third party flash as3 code to load graphics using sprite. There is a class (load) that takes care of the loading of the graphics.In a new class(getname), I want to be able to1. Load the graphics (done)2. On mouseover change the color of graphics(done)3. Display name of rolled over graphic (not working). I have tried the following in
getname:var feature : load;feature.name;
I get a null object error. Now I have used the mousevent routine(e.target.name) and can display the instance #(instance149). But what I really want is the name of the graphics that the load function loads (graphics and the dbf with all the attributes including the name).

ActionScript 3 :: Direct Access To Sprite Graphics
Jul 27, 2010I"m new to AS3 and I would like to know how can I get to graphics of a Sprite so I could draw it directly from it. I mean I don"t want to use Sprite class as my concrete objects I just want Sprite to hold graphics so if my own object needs to be drawn it asks for graphics to SpriteManager which returns Sprite with required graphics and draws it exactly where I want to not where Sprite's coordinates points to.
View 1 RepliesFlash - How To Erase Part Of Sprite Graphics
May 6, 2009If I have a sprite, with which I have drawn some stuff, how do I erase part of what I have drawn? Preferably I could use drawRect with some "alpha=0" paint. However, I don't believe beginFill lets you set an rgba color (like you can in bitmapdata). Setting alpha = 0 in beginFill doesn't really do anything -- it just draws nothing. In my particular use case, masking isn't an option. Also, calling clear() isn't a good solution since it clears away everything.

Just looking for a more cleaner way other than something like .drawRect(freeSpace.x, freeSpace.y, freeSpace.w, freeSpace.h) I know you can do it with bitmapData.fillRect(rectangle), but need sprites in this case.

IDE :: SWF Optimization - Heavy Graphics - Convert A MovieClip To Sprite
Jun 19, 2009I'm coding games that come with the graphics done. Unfortunately the designer has some bad practices, such as not using Sprite symbols - never. And the files have dozens (even hundreds) of symbols in the library, very few of them with any animation. I would like to re-brand such symbols as Sprite to save some CPU (and maybe even kB), but my graphics-related skills are very low. Where should I start? Check and convert the symbols at authoring time or it's possible to do this at runtime? Can I effectively convert a MovieClip to Sprite (I'm guessing casting to sprite won't help much) or another light image type?

View 3 RepliesActionscript 3 :: How Does Graphics Class Work Without Needing To Extend Sprite / Shape
Nov 21, 2010So I'm playing with a project where I want my class to be able to use the functionality of the Graphics class without needing to extend Sprite/Shape. My goal aside, I guess I'm confused as to how it works at all? It's methods don't seem to return anything, and since it's added as a child property of the Sprite/Shape classes , I can't seem to figure out what it's actually doing? It's also one of those classes that can't be instantiated.
At this point, I'm just plain curious. EDIT: I should provide more clear distinction of what I'm looking for as answer. I have read the documentation, but the documentation doesn't account for what AS3 is actually doing. I'm looking for educated guesses about the programatic relationship between Graphics and the the classes that use it.

Flash :: Rotating Sprite Moves The Sprite From It's Original Location
Jul 6, 2011I'm doing a simple rotation on a sprite but there's a weird behavior where the sprite does not rotate around it's top left. I think I'm rotating along the top left of the test class instead of the sprite child. I would like to rotate the rectangle around it's top left corner (kinda like a clock hand). The code is pretty short so I'll let the code + pictures explain my problem:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I've read a lot of stuff about rotating around a fixed point, I've tried doing it with movieclips instead of sprites, I even copy pasted a tutorial on rotation and nothing works.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Sprite.addChild(NumericStepper) Resizes Sprite To 100x100
May 27, 2008[Code]...
Then the numericStepper is drawn as if it is squished to 20% its normal height. If I pre-set mySprite width and height before adding the numericstepper, the trace output is 0,0 after adding it and it is not displayed at all. Is there some way I can make the sprite only adjust to correctly fit the numericStepper OR resize it afterwards without distorting the numericStepper component?
Professional :: Setting X And Y Coordinates On A Sprite?
Feb 28, 2011I need tp set the y coordinate on a sprite's rightmost coordinate. That is, usually when we set the y coordinate that's the lefttmost side of the sprite, and the sprite starts there and goes to the right of that point. I need to reverse that. The reason is because I'm putting text into it and it's going to the rightmost side of a box, so it can't overflow to the right.
View 2 RepliesFlash - Setting Mask For Sprite?
Sep 12, 2010So i have this sprite that is say arbitrarily 100 x 100 which is added to the stage. Now when content is added to this sprite the sprite expands automatically as it should. I dont want this to happen, what i want is to set a defined boundary i.e. 100 x 100, if too much content is added i can be able to scroll it. My problem is i cannot add a mask to the stage like the conventional way because i have many other boxes like this that vary in dimensions and number. I found a way i can do this but its very inefficient, what i did is i created a movieclip filled it say 100x100 with some color then instantiated it. Next i added the sprite and if content overlaps it wont be visible, only 100x100. I sort of stumbled on this and dont know exactly why this works. Any help is well appreciated, thank you.
