ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Width Of Sprite Seems To Change Height Too?
Feb 5, 2009
Here is some code I have.
[code]
_buttonUnderline = new Sprite();
with(_buttonUnderline.graphics) {
[/code].....
When the Tween takes place though it not only changes the width, it changes the height as if it were scaling it up in both directions. Why does this behavior take place? And how can I get it so that only the width changes? I have also tried using scaleX as the property but it does the same thing.

I 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.
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class ScrollBar extends Sprite {[code].....

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?

I am looking at the SimpleButton entirely wrong. Here's what I'm doing (inside of a MovieClip):
[Code]...
the close_btn.width and height remain 0. Am I supposed to just rely on the DisplayObject members of the SimpleButton completely and ignore width/height/x/y or what?

In a previous thread I asked a question about setting the width and height of a sprite subclass in its constructor method. One of the responses has puzzled me since I read it:
"Setting width and height only makes sense if you're adjusting the width and height of existing content, and the Chart (Sprite) has none at that point."
I don't understand that; what if you're adding children to the sprite that depend on those dimensions?
Here's a simple app which draws a red circle inside of a blue box which demonstrates my confusion as well as one other issue. The full questions are at the bottom.
Main.fla:
import Box;
var myBox:Box = new Box(200, 200);addChild(myBox);myBox.drawCircle();
[Code].....
Question 2: In this example, the dimensions of Circle are based on the width of its parent Box sprite. Is there a more elegant way to pass the dimensions to the circle? I ask because in my actual project (a chart) the plot area contains a lot of screen locations that must be passed around when I add new objects such as grid lines and markers and passing around the coordinates as parameters seems awfully messy. I'm just not sure how else to do it.

Why does changing the width and height of uiComp not affect the Sprite? Wouldn't UIComponent provide Sprite with a Graphics object, which limits that area where Sprite can draw?

I 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.

I want to change the height and width of an object (specifically doubling it) after an interval of 2 seconds until the height and width of the object reach over 100. I've made two different scripts to try to make this possible.

how can I change the height and width of stage dynamically. I tried it with the following code:
Stage.height = 250;
Stage.width = 250;
during the run time. Initially the Stage is at a height and width of 370 and 450 respectively. Also when I tried to trace the height and width of Stage after resizing the stage width and height, its showing the old value of width and height. That means the width and height not chnaging.

I am trying to change the width and height of instances of a symbol programmatically. Basically, the symbol contains a few colored rectangles, a bitmap, and some text. I want to change the height and width of each instance of the symbol based on how low the text string is that is in the instance's text field, but the bitmap's size should always stay the same, 24x24 pixels.[code]The problem is that using this code seems to scale everything up, including the bitmap. I have tried to programmatically add the 24x24 pixel bitmap to the symbol programmatically after I changed the height, but it still seems to be scaled..

I thought I had a handle on AS3, DisplayObjectContainers, etc. but this basic thing is really confusing me: changing the width/height of a sprite does not affect it's visual contents - either graphics drawn within it or any children it may have.[code]...

I develop some components where I use movie clips as skin. In the scene I have 2 movie clips with width 200px and height 100px, one of them I change the width to 200px and height to 100px, well, it should remain the size as nothing happens but it doesn't. The movie clip that I change the size through as3 it's actually getting smaller, and more strange, it only happens when the movie clip has an Outline. The file is attached. It's Flash CS4.

a movie clip symbol is designed and subclassed in Flash, but get instanced and addChild-ed in AS3. It works well as long as I don't change it's width/height property (scaling works too), but if i do, it disappears

I 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

I'm trying to edit an HTML that uses swfobject to load a flash file.
What I'm trying to do is to reduce the size of the SWF file.
I've tried editing the height and width parameter within the swfobject(), but that didn't work.
I tried reducing the width height in the HTML css, but that also didn't work..
How can I pass a 'width' or a 'height' parameter to the swfobject so it will actually load the swf in a smaller or 'zoomed out' way?

I'm making a program like roomplanner at [url]..
I need to know how to change the width and the height of the movie clip. I know how to scale x and y but that doesn�t work in my case because i have for example an object which height is 75 pixels and width is 137 pixels. X scale and Y scale would work if my objects were 100 pixels width and 100 pixels height.

I know there have been several similar posts but of those I've read, there hasn't been an easy straight forward solution that will work dynamically. The solutions posted have ranged from
super.width = wvalue;
super.height = hvalue;
which I did not get to work, and it seemed from the response to the suggestion neither could the person who originally asked for help, to suggestions about using scale, all the way to having to create an event handler that will get notified after the load, which I guess would work once but wouldn't work dynamically.
Here is the scenario -
I want to change width and height for a MovieClip, but I dont want to scale it, (its more like cropping the MovieClip, not shrinking or stretching) and I want to do this several times not just after the load of the MovieClip.
So my questions are:
1) Is there anyway to do this that really works, that hopefully isn't totally convoluted?
2) Why is it so hard to do this in Flash/AS3?

I use FlashMX 2004. how to change the width and height of the MovieClip when it loads to the stage. I used the following method
instanceName._height=value
instanceName._width=value
but when I do like this movie does not load. when I do this method to vary x and y position of the movie it works.
