I'm only at the very start of my .fla, and already I run into something odd. I'm setting a series of properties of my new MovieClip, and all can be traced back, except for .width. No matter to what value I set my MC's width, it always traces 0.
ActionScript Code:
var cube:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
cube.width = 200;
cube.rotation = 1;
[Code]....
Why would it be impossible to set my cube's width?
I have notice that you can't access the width property of a mask, but you can access the x position property.
Try this code
var myMask:Sprite = new Sprite();
myMask.graphics.beginFill(0xFF4F00);
myMask.graphics.drawRect(40, 30, 15, 15);
addChild(myMask);
var myMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(myMC);
myMC.mask = myMask;
trace(myMask.width); //outputs 0
trace(myMask.x); //outputs 15
How to get the mask width?
Is it possible to set a percentage value for the width property of an UIComponent defined in MXML using data binding?
What I try to achieve is something like this (which doesn't work):
<s:Button width="{buttonWidth}%"/>
I know that using percentage for width or height properties in MXML is kind of a hack in the Flex SDK, since they're supposed to accept numerical values only, but since percentWidth and percentHeight aren't available in MXML, I'm pretty stuck =/
I would really like to avoid using code to do such a simple thing, in order to keep my code as clear and readable as posible.
Hi, is there any way to rotate a movie clip during runtime? Also, do movie clips have a width property that can be accessed with actionscript?

I am looking at the SimpleButton entirely wrong. Here's what I'm doing (inside of a MovieClip):

I am creating a nav in flex that pulls in buttons dynamically from xml.

Something like evt.target.width = evt.target.textWidth;

Once I've set either the width or percentWidth property on a flex label, is there a way to reset the width to its default (i.e., the width of the text plus padding)? I'm using the label as a renderer. In some cases, I'd like it to automatically size to the text, and in other cases, I'd like it to be a percentage width of its container. Obviously, I could use two separate labels, one for each of the above cases, but I'm curious if it's possible to reset the label to its default behavior.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to reference to top level (stage) width and height of the main stage for the placement of something located inside a movieclip on the stage.
My code is:
Code:
my_loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - my_loader.width)/2;
my_loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - my_loader.height)/2;
But this seems to just relate to the width/height of the mc that my_loader is nested in...
I have tried the following and had no luck:
stage.stage.stageWidth
root.stage.stageWidth
parent.stage.stageWidth
MovieClip(root).stage.stageWidth

View 3 RepliesI have a Movieclip on stage with nested movieclips inside. All referenced at 0,0. None of the child movieclips load any dynamic content, animate or have Masked Layers. It does have an input textfield in one of the child MCs. The parent MC shows 280 px width, while it returns 313 px with a .width trace. There is no code that alters the .width value of the parent MC at run-time. And the ParentMC on stage is not scaled (it is at 100% width/height)

View 2 RepliesLately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).
So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?

View 1 RepliesI have a class Inhabitant with a property skin which is of type DisplayObject.
Within Inhabitant I need to access the x and y properties of skin using this method:
this["someProperty"];
Rather than:
this.someProperty;
This is fine with properties defined within Inhabitant but I'm not sure how I could do this for a property of skin. This obviously doesn't work but it might give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:
this["skin.x"];
The reason behind requiring this notation is that I have a function which I can parse a String though that will represent a property:
public function addTokenable(property:String):void
{
if(!isTokenable(property))
_tokenables[property] = true;
}
And then a related getter that will return a representation of this instance of Inhabitant as a String:
public function get token():String
{
_token = "class:" + getQualifiedClassName(this).split("::").join(".");

I would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?
