ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop A Symbol Added Child Resize?

Oct 19, 2011

I'm making a map editor in flash. For the map area, a dynamic Movieclip will this and that in it will be loaded into a movieclip area, but I realised the problem of how a symbol resizes when a child is too big in the symbol.

Is there ANYWAY to stop it from it from doing this, as I want a specific window for this where you can drag the map around to see the other areas.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Prevent Parent Resize When Children Is Added?

Dec 23, 2009

I have a rectangular movieClip named 'container'. In this movieclip, a function generates some number of squares.My problem is that; for example, if I generate 12x12 squares with each width/height of 40; it resizes the container to width/height of 480. If I set the width and the height of the container movieClip to a lower value; then the squares become smaller.I have been struggling for some time on this problem. I tried setting the ScaleMode of container and squares to various values but it did not work.How can I overcome this illogical (for me at least) problem? How can I prevent children from resizing their parent OR how can i prevent parent downsizing the children?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Child To An Added One?

Jul 21, 2011

I am making a simple xml gallery that loads in images into a movie clip that looks like a Polaroid. So, the idea is that flash will see how many image need to me imported. Then in the for loop it will add child the Polaroid mc (which has been exported for actionscript and the class named "Polaroid"). The inside that Polaroid mc there is an empty mc called "polimageHolder_mc" that I want to load the xml loaded image into. I keep getting this error "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties", when I use the code below. It makes sense to me but my syntax is obviously incorrect. [code]...

Flex :: VGroup: How To Have A New Element Show Up Smoothly (resize) When Added/removed

Apr 20, 2011

When adding/removing elements to/from a VGroup I need it to happen smoothly, resize the item. I believe I have to use transition effects. But how?

At item (element) level? At VGroup level? Should I use a DataGroup instead and do it at ItemRenderer level?

I've been trying to do it at item level but I still didn't manage to make it work and somehow it doesn't feel right. It feels like it should be done at a higher level.

For example, I defined a "death" state which resizes the item to height=0. But then, after it shrunk, it has to somehow notify VGroup in order for it to be removed or remove itself from VGroup. It feels unnecessarily complicated.

way to associate an effect to inserting and removing items from a VGroup?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting TextInput From An Added Child?

So when you win my game I add a movieclip that will let you enter your name through a text input component. Unfortunately, I'm calling it wrong.

I'm getting an undefined property error because it's out of the youWon function, right? You'd think I'd understand this concept eventually!

Actionscript 3 :: Child Added, But Not Displaying?

Feb 28, 2012

public class ItemView extends MovieClip {
private var _title:TextField;
private var _extra:MovieClip;

[Code]....

When I create an instance of ItemView and add it to the stage, "Title" displays but the blue square does not. However, if I make the graphics calls on this instead of _extra, I do see the blue square. This tells me that _extra itself is not displaying properly, but I can't figure out why. Is there some special procedure for adding one MovieClip to another?

ActionScript 3.0 :: RemovingChild IF Child Has Been Added

Feb 22, 2009

I have 4 functions called by their own buttons. Each function calls a movie clip from the library with addChild. When I click on one of these 4 functions I want it to remove the added children if any of the other functions had been clicked prior. Problem is, removeChild at the start of each function results in errors if a child had never been called yet. It's trying to remove something that isn't there. - So I tried making a 'flag:number = 0' for each of the 4 functions. Each function begins with settings its flag to '1' I put a for loop at the beginning of each function saying IF any of the flags are = to 1, then remove the children. I don't see why that should not work, I think the error lies in my array or my for loop if statement as I still don't fully understand them. So I will just post the code relating to the array and loop:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Checking To See If A Child Has Been Added, Before Adding?

I'm working on building a gallery, but I've run into a slight snag. The full-size images are not all the same size, so they will overlap when loaded.

Actionscript 3 :: Reference MovieClip After It Is Added To Stage As A Child

Nov 22, 2011

I am currently having problems referencing a MovieClip child which I add to the Stage from the Document Class. Basically when the MovieClip child is added to the Stage from the Document Class, I want a certain MovieClip already on the Stage to reference it once it is on the Stage.

Also, if it is possible, I don't want the MovieClip referencing the child being added to the Stage to have parameters linking it with the Document Class, because I plan on nesting this MovieClip within another MovieClip later on in the future.

Here is the code for the MovieClip class which is referencing the child once it is added to the Stage:

package com.gameEngine.assetHolders
{
import com.gameEngine.documentClass.*;
import com.gameEngine.assetHolders.*;

Actionscript 3 :: Can't Access Properties Or Methods Of MC Child That Has Been Added In Script

Apr 24, 2010

I have created a loop to instantiate tiles on a board. In the following example, "Gametiles" is an array containing objects of class "Tile" which is a class that extends MovieClip. "Game" is a MC that I added to the stage in the flash developing environment.[code]This method is a bit cumbersome though. I really don't want to have to create a var and call getChildByName every time I want to interact with these properties or methods. How can I set up these children so that I can access them directly without the extra steps?

Flex :: Force A Resize From A Child To A Parent?

Jul 22, 2009

I have a page-like flex application. In my main application is a holder (a canvas) that displays all the pages. The problem is that the components that are loaded inside the holder are bigger than the holder is when the main application starts. The holder height is set to 100% but still he gets scrollbars when I load a bigger component inside of him then himselHow can I solve this problem? And if it isn't solvable would it work correct if I use a viewstack?the holder looks like this:

<mx:canvas height="100%">
</canvas>

But the end of the application is 500 pixels lower so canvas height is 500 pixels high. Now I put a new child inside the holder that is 1000 pixels high.
