ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A Function To Set X Position?

Feb 28, 2009

I've declared a global variable called thumbSpace.I have an xmlLoaded function that loads in thumbnails from an xml file using a loop.
I have an event listener call the thumbLoaded function when the thumbnail is done loading.The thumbLoaded function returns the width of each thumbnail.

Code:
function thumbLoaded(event:Event):Number {
return event.target.width;
}

Inside of the xmlLoaded function I have the following lines of code:

Code:
thumbSpace += thumbLoaded();

I keep getting the "error message 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1."� I'm trying to use the thumbLoaded function to set the X position of my thumbnails.

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Use Position As Function Of Time

Mar 26, 2004

I am new to AS and need to know the relation between position and time in AS.
If we have this code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
speed = 1;
this._x += speed;
}
nd a framrate 16 fps, how can we calculate the time it takes to move the MC from position A to position B? I mean how can vi control the speed here as a function of time (say as a function av fps)?

AS3 :: Function To Arrange Depths Based On Z Position & RotationX

Apr 17, 2011

Any smart people out there who can tell me why this function Im working on to automatically sort the depths of objects placed on the 3D plane is only working intermittently? It seems to work every second or third iteration?[code]Is getChildAt(i) reliable? IE does it return the same order each time it runs or is it based on depth? looking at the manual suggests that it's probably the latter so I guess I'll need to make my own array ordered by the time the sprites were added to the parent and work from there. Is there a better way?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Math Function - Set Variable To Random Position

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
stop();
b1 = 462;
b2 = -462;
b3 = -1388;
b4 = -2314;
b5 = -3240;
b6 = -4166;
} onClipEvent (load) {
RanNum = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 6);
_x = ["b" + RanNum];

ActionScript 3.0 :: Fluid Layout Stop Changing Resize Position When Movieclip Is At Certain Position?

Nov 19, 2009

I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.

I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:

Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);

[code]...

But it seems futile.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Move The Vertical ScrollBar Position Of The ScrollPane To Top/initial Position

Jun 30, 2009

I am using a ScrollPane in my application(viz., instance name is: myScrollPane). When I view the contents of the ScrollPane, it shows them perfectly. My issue is: When I try to view data present inside the ScrollPane, if I move the Vertical-ScrollBar of the ScrollPane to middle(or somewhere from top to down) and then click on Submit button(viz., instance name is: submit_btn), then its Vertical ScrollPosition must be reset from middle(or any position where we leave it before) to top(or initial position). Hence, I need to move the Vertical ScrollPosition of ScrollPane to top (or) initial position. Everytime, I need to refresh the VerticalScrollBar Position when I click on the submit button. How to do it?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Full Browser Flash - Traced Its X Position And The Var StageXcenter Position And Like Suspected It Shows Different Values?

Nov 12, 2007

So I'm trying my hands on some full browser flash and after reading a couple of tuts I wrote this

Code:
#include "mc_tween2.as"
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
stageListener = new Object();[code]...

The trace's are because it didn't work like I thought it would.Etc the middle movieclip didn't center itself but rather positioned itself seemingly how it pleased so I traced its x position and the var stageXcenter position and like suspected it shows different values.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip To Move To The Position Of Each Of Buttons From Any Position?

May 13, 2010

I'm hoping someone can solve this headache. Basically, I want a movieclip to move to the position of each of my buttons from any position along my x axis. Therefore, the movieclip needs to 'flip' to face the way it is traveling.At the moment I have the movieclip moving to the mouse x axis when I ROLLOVER the button and stop following the mouse when I ROLLOUT but the code won't flip the movieclip so I must have something wrong...

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,followCa t);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,follow Cat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat );

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting A Position Of Movieclip Called Red X And Y Position?

setting a position of movieclip called red x and y position within a movieclip called background

Code:
background.redsquare.x = 300;
background.redsquare.y = 300;

comes up with TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

setting a position of movieclip called red x and y position withen a movieclip called background

Code:
redsquare.x = 300;
redsquare.y = 300;

This works fine but how can that be when surely you must access the red withen the background rather then just accessing red?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Y Position Results In Random Position

Nov 8, 2010

I've run into a new problem, this time with positioning. I've narrowed down the line that's causing it--"block.y = block.y + block.height;" in SetOfBlocks.shiftDown. When I take it out, no problem. But with it in, instead of just dropping each block down by a block height, the affected blocks sometimes move up, and also often move about randomly within the X axis--although their new positions always keep them lined up with the 'grid', which is to say, within multiples of the block height and widths.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Z Position Impact On Stage Position?

Jan 13, 2011

I have a sprite that I zoom out using the sprite.z property. Once the z property has been modified the sprite x and Y values do not match the stage x and y real value. So far so good and what I was expecting!
 
What I want to accomplish is that when the user clicks the stage the sprite tweens to where the mouse was clicked but I don't know what x and y position to send to the sprite. ( since stage 200,200 is something like 400,400 for the sprite depending on z value)
 
I tried Utils3D.projectVector using Matrix3D of the perspectiveProjection of the stage without success. (i.e. I get Vector3D(Infinity, Infinity, NaN))
 
I could fallback to scalex/scaley but sprites.z gives me the correct scale, perspective projection, paralax scrolling since I have sprites on different z level all for free. I would have to recode all that.

IDE :: Way To Get 'MovieClip' To Move From Position A In Keyframe 1 To Position B

Feb 3, 2010

What i'd like to do is have a menu/site map that adjusts when you click on a certain icon. For example, I have a AS3.0 flash file with, say, 5 keyframes with 5 buttons that are in different positions on each key frame. The buttons are set to gotoAndPlay the various keyframes. I can set up a tween that links frame 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc. but what I would like is a tween from, say, 1 to 3, then 3 to 5, then 5 to 1 - basically in a random order rather than sequentially through the key frames. I could set each of these tweens up individually but the site is for a portfolio that I would like to keep adding to and to do this individually would mean an ever increasing amount of tweens.Basically, is there a way to get a 'MovieClip' to move from Position A in keyframe 1 to Position B in another keyframe without a set of tween frames? I'm sure this is simpler than I am making it sound but I don't seem to be able to work it out.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Record The Current Position Of Any Of The Items Item In Order To Use That Data To Change The Position Of The Item After The User Clicks?

Jan 2, 2010

If I have several items that move across the screen but the user can click any of them at any time, how do I record the current position of any of the items item in order to use that data to change the position of the item after the user clicks?

This is what I am doing: I have 11 images that slide accross the screen. The user can click any of them at any time. When he clicks one I am scaling the image so it looks like it is comming forward (z axis) and then the rest of the images are scaled down so it looks like they are going back on z axis. So what I am trying to do is get the current position of the image when the user clicks the image so that I can use that to correctly estimate the scaling and moving of the image to make it look like it scales from the center and not from the top left corner. So if have a variable that gets the current position of the image being clicked I'm thinking I can change its position using something like: x = currentposition + -45;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Position Onloadmovie In The Right Position?

Feb 24, 2009

I am using loadmovie function to load movie in a liquid template.

Code:
nav5.onRollOver = incoming;
nav5.onRollOut = begining;
nav5.labelMC.labelTxt.text = "Reference";
nav5.onPress = function(){
loadGallery.loadMovie("NEWMOVIE.swf")
};

Movie loads fine in the right position but as soon as window gets resized everything moves out of its place even the main movie in which i have loaded this new movie . What can do here to make movie stay's in its place once the window is resized?

Also i have several buttons in this main movie to load several different external swf movies and all of them load right and stay in right position once window gets resized except on one which is video gallery. I am using flvPlayerpro to play my flv videos so i think the problem is with this video gallery not in my main movie as all other external movies stay in its position once i resize window...
