ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Coordinates Of Mc From Inside Of Mc?
Jul 30, 2009
how I can access the coordinates of an mc, but its coordinates with respect to the stage.
What I am doing is using a dragging function, but while the mouse is moving I am also trying to trace the position of the mc itself with respect to its position on the stage, but it seems to keep giving me very small numbers, almost like numbers with respect to its original position. I am not sure yet though why this is. Here is my code:
[Code]....
I have also tried to get rid of the this.x = mouseX and the same for y, but then it returns the values as undefined when i trace this.x and this.y

Excuse the title, had no idea what to call this. I'm creating a simple game with the following components (added picture for clarity):
[URL]
1. Character - The symbol in the center of the stage.
2. Level - The bounds surrounding the stage. Everything in this picture is contained within the level except for the character.
3. Water - The blue square. The water symbol is located within the level symbol.
4. Water droplet - The blue dot floating above the water. This is also located within the level symbol.
Using the arrow keys the player controls the movement of the level. While the character symbol is always located at x=275, y=200 (center stage), the level symbol's coordinates change whenever the arrows are pressed. This gives the player the illusion that they are controlling the character.
When the player makes the character symbol touch the water symbol, I want to move the water droplet to the location of the character. The problem is, I can't for the life of me figure out the coordinates I need as they will always be different depending on where the character touched the water. It's important that the water droplet be inside of the level symbol because after the player drops the water I need it to act as if it's moving with the surroundings.
tl;dr: I essentially need to find the x and y distance from the character symbol to the origin of the level symbol, keeping in mind that the level symbol's location is always changing and that both symbols are located on the stage.

I'm figuring out a way to update my mouse x and y inside a loop. In this small test block, I'm tracing the mouseX and mouseY twice. The first one is outside a loop. The second one is inside a loop.
When I test the SWF, you can see that the first trace changes constantly and seamlessly. But when you hold your mouse down, the code starts tracing the 2nd trace. Even though the mouse is down and moving, the mouseX and mouseY traced is not changing.
Actionscript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;import flash.events.Event;var mouseIsUp:Boolean = true;stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown);stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
[Code]....
Closely related to the main question, when you click the stage, you would get 100 lines of the 2nd trace. Is there a way to break the loop as soon as the mouse is up?

I googled for almost a day to find the answer to my question: [URL]. This almost works (and is a great solution), but the solution doesn't work when I do:
1). Copy and paste multiple-line texts.
2). Write long and scroll the texts.
I also found another working example at: [URL]. (The autocomplete prompt appears when you press ctrl+space right at the caret's position). But an email from its author says he uses monotype fonts to calculate individual character's location. Is there a way to get multi-line input from a textfield?

I have a Movieclip (MC1) with and moving object (OBJ1) inside it and using AS3. I want to do a hit test on it with another object (OBJ2) that is on the stage. Normally I would just do MC1.x + OBJ1.x to get my coords for the hit test. But how do I do it if MC1 has been rotated?

I was trying to convert global coordinates to local coordinates of a UIComplenent in my flex project using below code using below code
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
uic is UIComponent in which I have subclass of Sprite for drawing something I have set the sprite's mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to false to not interrupt the mouse event. above code is within uic's mousemove event where I was tracing the gp and lp gp was giving correct value and suprisingly lp was giving negetive values. when I move the move to the top left corner of uic i expect lp to be 0,0 but it is giving the -width of of uic. I broke my head for hours and ended up finding an alternate by using offsets. Infact my original code was much simpler like this which was same issue
var lp:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
I am not sure what exactly is causing this problem. the workaround had lot of issues and it creating a mess in my rest of the algorithms.Just now I found even more interesting thing (which is actually weird). for some reason I went and create a new lp2
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
now surprisingly it was giving correct values as expected and I went back and changed the code as
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
var lp2:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp);
now it is expected to have all the lp, lp2 and lp3 variables to be same but weiredly lp two is giving wrong value and lp2 and lp3 were giving correct. I am suspecting using the variable lp has something to do. I am not sure about that but above proves it so right now I am using lp2.

I was reading the 'Isometric Transformations' tutorial by Danko Kozar and I have a few questions. I understand what all the code does, but not how it does it. First of all, how does the following code work:
transforms x,y,z coordinates into Flash x coordinate
xFla = function (x, y, z) {
// cartesian coordinates[code].....
I understand that it converts 3d coordinates to 2d coordinates, but I don't understand how. What numbers whould be punched into x, y, and z to acquire certain desired effects?Also, what's the difference between moveTo and lineTo:
red line
style(1, "0xFF0000", 100);
plot(0, 0, 0);
draw(200, 0, 0);

I'm using OOP code only, no frames nothing.
I have a movieclip called "test" which contains another movieclip called "subtest" inside.
Now, on my code I have:
Code:
var _test:test = new test;
Now, I want to access the MC "subtest", how do I do that?
I gave the instance name "subtest", if I do something like below, it says that the type subtest is not found:
Code:
MovieClip(_teste.getChildByName("subteste"));

I'm learning a lot by reading the questions and answers that are asked in the Forum. Now it is my turn to ask a question that is probably a rookie, but I have spend 3 days breaking my head to try to find a solution and have not found it yet.
I am trying that the program responds to each click of the player in a box that is white and turns red, with a random click in another box. Something similar to Tic Tac Toe.
My problem is that I can't make te program to access the boxes in the array by programming. When I try the program to access the box with p.ex.: "this.newBox.boxplus30.gotoAndStop (2);" I always get the error "object null or undefined". I have tried everything you can imagine to formulate that line of code, but without success.[code]...

I am learning how to create menu systems for a game and have a few different "screens" (movieclips with buttons and such).
I am getting Undefined Property errors when I try to access a button from the class file of a screen.
Example: I have a MainMenu screen. This has its own class MainMenu.as.
Inside the library MainMenu movieclip, I have a button, instance named start_button.
But inside the MainMenu.as file, I try to do start_button.addEventListener(...) and it says undefined property. I tried doing getChildByName("start_button"), that won't work either.

I create a new Ball movieclip and sets the Uid property:
var ball_mc:Ball = new Ball();
ball_mc.uID = "1232435";
addChild(ball_mc);
From outside the movieclip i can access the property value by trace(ball_mc.uID);, but what if i what to reach the value inside the movieclip itself? trace(uID); or trace(ball_mc.uID); dosent seem to work.

When i run the AS2 SWF independently passing the param through HTML. It works fine.But when i load the AS2 swf inside AS3 swf. It is not able to fetch the flashvars, which is strange cz if i load the AS2 SWF inside another AS2 swf it works fine. how should i fetch the flashvars inside the loaded AS2 SWF.

I want that this button to the clicado being executes the function stop in one movie clip, I call this button stop2, it will go to only appear when dust button that this in timeline primary will be clicado, the button if flame drinks, that this in timeline primary, and another one calls stop, that also this in timeline primary, buttons xi (timeline primary) and paraMc (timeline inside of movieclip) the two has the function of for the animation of the other movie clip called " simbolo".
I want to know I eat to place action in the button paraMc that he is inside of movie clip for, remembering that the button paraMc only appears in the screen when the clica user in the button in the green color.I already tried to make: para.paraMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,simbolo); but it did not function, The square in the black color is movie clip that it contains a button of it inside, when clicar in the button of green color, the function reproduces movie clip in the gray color and movie clip in the black color that contains the button. the button in the red color calls the function " chega" , the button in the black color that is inside of movie clip also calls this function.

I've created an animated scene in Flash, with a bar chart.The bar is a MovieClip symbol containing a large rectangle and a TextField.I'd like to access the TextField using actionscript, but I can't seem to reference it.
Each bar in the scene has its own instance name, so that's easy to find.
But how do I modify the text in the textfield within the symbols?
