ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Rectangle Which Is A MovieClip?
May 23, 2009
My need is:
1.) I need ActionScript 3.0 code to create a Rectangle shape which must be a MovieClip. So, I need to pass/access MouseEvent_CLICK events on this MovieClip.
2.) Now, this newly created MovieClip(or rectangle) should not be created with same/static size always. Instead, it's size is dependable on some value(say,var index:int).
In this case, I think it is better and good programming practice to write the code for dynamic-sized MovieClip in a user-defined method(say, createDynaMovieClip()).
I need the full requirement in ActionScript 3.0 code format only.
I got struck up with this problem and the sample code which I developed till now is as shown below(which creates the required rectangle):
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var rectangle:Shape = new Shape();
rectangle.graphics.beginFill(0xF3FAB8);
[Code]....

I can create a MovieClip using the follwing process:
1. Select rectangle tool from ToolsWindow and draw a rectangle by dragging through mouse.
2. Then press F8 by selecting the drawn rectangle, select radio-button with "MovieClip" and click "OK".
3. Now give the instance-name to this newly created Movieclip(say,myMovie). Now, we are able to use this MovieClip.
But, I don't like to use this process and I like to use ActionScript 3.0 code as a sole to create a custom-sized MovieClip(here, size depends on MovieClip's "width & height" properties) upon which I need to place as many no. of text-fields( say, "n")& "n" value is known dynamically upon requirement. Hence the MovieClip size must be increased/decreased as per our requirement depending on "n"(i.e., no. of TextFields.
And my code writte in "Actions" panefor changing the MovieClip's size dynamically upon requirement looks like this:
HTML Code:
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onSubmit);
function onSubmit(evnt:MouseEvent):void
{

I'd like to create a component like that. Each rectangle may be empty half or full according user notation. So I'd mike to do the same with flex and AS3 but I don't found how. Actually, I create a 2D rectangle with no relief.

I am using start drag to control an mc of a map which all works fine, this MC can be zoomed using a slider which also works fine. I have defined a bounding box in the usual way.
map_mc.startDrag (false, new Rectangle(0,0,500,500));
But when map_mc is zoomed in its size go beyond the bounding box's limit and obviously reacts unpredictably. I would like to put the rectangle size in a var which I can then scale with the map so that the mc is never bigger than the bounding box.
Code:
Select allvar rectangle;
number = (0,0,1000,1000)

I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to how I could generate a rectangle movieclip on top of the longest section of a frame of a movieclip using AS3?
If this is the movieclip frame, I want it to find the longest portion of the movieclip on the right.
And then generate a rectangular movieclip on the longest section of the frame on the right side.
(Don't mind the white bg, I just used paint quick, it won't be there)
I can figure out how to generate the rectangle and all of that, but I am confused as to how I could determine the length of the longest portion of the movieclip, and how to tell AS3 to place it there.

For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?

I'm creating a quiz that has the user press a submit button.Everything was working perfectly until i tried to make the button look better by going in the clip and converting the rectangle to a movieclip.now the button looks great but says its calling a null reference.if i go in an break apart the mc on the first frame (up) then it works.why is it doing this? is putting a mc in a btn bad? is there a way around this.I really like the way by buttons look but dont know how to get the same effects without it being a movieclip.

I would like to add the ability to resize a rectangle movieclip, plus have the ability to drag it horizontally. I have the horizontal drag code working, but I am not sure how to add the ability to grab the ends and resize it.. There are a lot of these bars on screen, so I am adding listeners in a loop:
this["box" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
I imagine I need to add 2 movieclips to each rectangle to allow for resize handles, but I'm not sure how to refer to them or initalize them...Here is a pic of what I am looking to accomplish.

I am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.

I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?

how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.

I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.

My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

This is the third thread I've written for my current project (1st was answered perfectly, 2nd failed [but I still figured it out anyways]) but I'm not sure if there is a solution to this problem. I can't really explain my problem, so once again I've included a helpful animation to show you what I mean. Bear in mind that the pale-blue box represents the movie clip's borders, and those borders are usually changed to include the animation (instead of the borders moving with the animation, the borders get bigger).
For the animation problem, I've already got a solution: create an invisible movie clip that has the exact size and shape of the animated movie clip and make it follow the movie clip as it animates, and make the hitTest check the invisible movie clip instead of the animated one. As for the rotation problem, well, I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to change that?

Why would you create a button within a movieclip instead of just having a movieclip? Does the 2 different types give you more scripting options?

I do know how to use the oval / rectangle and oval / rectangle primitive tools in the tool bar and find them quite useful, but one thing I find confusing is. A oval / rectangle primitive object can be edited later but the oval / rectangle can't. So the point is,how do we use them properly ? when to use ? Why does Adobe Flash still keep the oval / rectangle tool in their product instead of removing them with the oval / rectangle primitive tool ?

I want to create a movieclip class that subclasses another movieclip class and inherits all its properties (rather than having to rely on the include statement). In my project I'm using:An abstract parent class that extends a movieClip: "infantryDroid".[code]However everytime I try this, flash acts as though nothing was imported from the parent movieclip class.If I was to try the above code I would get the message that _root and speed (which were defined in the parent class) "are undefined".

I want to create several "buttons" (which are actually MovieClips) that are all identical apart from an image and the link. My thought was to create a movieclip button that contains a var that will represent a movieclip, then in each instance of the movieclip button set that variable to be the movieclip image that will correspond to the button.
Geez my query seems so simple until I try and put it into words...The gist of it is, how do I name a movie clip variable? Something like, in the main movieclip, instead of inserting a specific image into the movieclip, insert a variable named innerImage, then in each instance of that movieclip name the image to be inserted by specifying the variable
var innerImage:MovieClip = the movieclip I want for this instance.
If the var was a number, it would just be:
var innerImage:number = 4;
If the var was a string:
var innerImage:string = "word";
So for a movieclip:
var innerImage:MovieClip = ???

I have some code like this:
Code:
for (var yt:int = 0; yt < mapH; yt++) {
for (var xt:int = 0; xt < mapW; xt++) {
drawTile(s, xt, yt);
}
}
Which will look through a 2 dimensional array, then I need to create a new MovieClip for each value in that array, using something like this:
Code:
var mc:tile_mc = new tile_mc();
Except it needs to make more than one of these movieclips (all with different names), and I need to be able to pass to movieclip name through the drawTile() function, or have some way of knowing what it is for the current loop..
Is there some way that I can like make the name of the movie clip "tile_" + yt + "_" + xt ? Since yt and xt change every loop and I'm already passing those values through drawTile
