i have a movie clip symbol (its just a red square 1x1).
at frame 1 it is just in the centre at 1px x 1 px.
i go to frame 60 ( the end of the movie clip ) and i want 2 resize it quite a bit.
but it WILL NOT let me resize past 28.8 for widht and height.
p.s. if i remove the tween then i can resize it to my hearts content.
I have bit of a strange problem. In have a MovieClip i resize, but the vector graphic doesn't resize with it. It's a Movieclip in my library that i'm linking to and when I insert it on my stage, it resizes just fine.
I have exported the MovieClip as an AS Object called: TabTemplate and the i extend it in a class called Tab.
I set some text in the textfield defined in it and the resize the tab accordingly. but the graphic doesnt follow :(
I'm not used to AS3's ways of doing things, so there might be something i've missed.
Here's the class code:
package mypackage {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
[Code]....
There is actually two issues going on here:
1) The textWidth isn't return the correct number. I have some shadow on the text and i don't know if that screws anything up. But otherwise I'm just using Regular Arial.
2) The mask of the 'Tab' + it's vector background isn't resizing when I'm resizing the MovieClip, like it does in Flash it self.
I have an fla that has a scroll which is large, 4591.60 is there a limit where flash will scroll and then stop? I did not create the file but I cannot get the scroll to go past where it is now as there is more to the scroll.

I have used wsdl2js to generate the javascript needed to communicate with the service.However I end up getting a http 500 error and have not been able to get past that. I have looked through the provided examples from the Apache CXF download and I have done some searching and cannot find a solid example of creating the javascript client. A lot of examples seem to somehow access the wsdl file at runtime from a server but my javascript is already generated from the CXF tool and I just include the scripts.
Adobe Flex and AS3Another option I have considered is using Adobe Flex. I create a new Mobile Flex project in Flash Builder using the BlackBerry PlayBook SDK and Flex 4.5. However when I use the menu options to connect to a web service I get prompted with "This option is only available for flex projects."Are there any other options out there that provide a solution to this problem? If you need more information just let me know
I've got a couple of questions regarding the same project.
1- When you view URL... in IE, you'll notice that it sometimes doesn't go past the preloader. I asked why this happened in an IRC channel, and was told to use swfobject. However, with swfobject, I have the same problem. Is something else the problem?
2- I have the code [code]
I've got a number of days from the date to today. Like 1689 days. How can I get from this the date subtraction past days with date?
View 1 RepliesI am having a little trouble understanding why my code is not functioning. It works if I subtract and combine numbers above .1 but if I use a number below .1 the _x and _y values stop at 0. I would like the _x and _y values to go into the negative. I am using Flash MX.
function movePastCorner(mc){
mc._x = 2;
mc._y = 2;

I have a scroller mc that I want to control by clicking underneath its y position to advance it down its y axis by a predetermined amount.The below code works to move it, but it advances past its max value of 496.5 (off the screen).Have I made a mistake in the code below? The scroller mc and associated text block is in their own mc on the root timeline. This code is on a frame on the root timeline.Has it got to do with the relative y positions of the stage compared with the y positions in the actual MC that I am trying to control?
Code:
principals_mc.johnTxt_mc.scrollerZone_mc.onRelease = function () {
var scrollerAmount:Number = 80;
if (this.hitTest(principals_mc.johnTxt_mc.jfscroller_mc)) {[code]......
in the first frame, first scene. Shouldn't that be where I but the include? (the buttons do work in scene) The buttons that are defined in external.as work in the first scene, but not in the other scenes. When I do an "include" in every scene, I get errors, no buttons work (makes sense....that should throw errors).

gotoAndPlay() is the only actionscript I have in my flash and all I want it to do is go to a frame. If I tell it to go to a frame past a certain one it will not. It always (unless I pick a frame previous to the messed up one) goes to that frame. I have only one scene.
View 10 Repliesmy stage is set at 500x400 in flash cs4. I created a rectangle for the background and set the same size as my stage that covers the whole stage but I noticed when I hit ctrl+enter to test the movie clip, it initially looks fine but when I expand the window large, you can see white area all around.

I've created a multi-framed flash file that's calling multiple variables from an external php (text) file. I'm using an onload command to do this and for some reason the variables seem to "disappear" once I leave the first frame (where the onload and load commands are)I'm figuring that my problem has to do with 'variables scope'. I've read the article on this site but I don't know actionscript well enough to proceed.I ultimately want to do away with using multiple frames by using multidemsional arrays and for...next loops, but this is what I have to work with (for now). I'm going crazy trying to get THIS to work.

I'm currently working on a project where I have a mouse trailer in my flash header. It drives me crazy when the effect cuts off when your mouse goes out side of the flash area.
Does anyone know any tricks that I can use so that the effect doesn't cut off? I need to keep it in ActionScript 2.

Assuming that works in detecting the collision, what would I use to actually stop the rectangle from progressing through the wall?

View 2 RepliesWhen i zoom into the page then move around the edge of the page can be moved past the edge of the browser window showing the static page which appears at the start of the document. Is it possible to use actionscript to stop the page being dragged past a certain point so the static page is not seen? On the example below the static page is white so it does not pose too much of a problem however im using the static page as a sort of instruction page and it looks a bit rubbish if the user drags a page past the edge of the view window and see's the original page.

View 1 RepliesI'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?
i'm using the centered pop up window script from: [URL]. i have multiple buttons in my flash movie which open screenshot html pages in external browser windows. the script works fine except when a popup window stays open. the rest of the buttons don't open/replace past that one popup. i tried changing the window name in the onRelease script to screen1, screen2, etc for each button, but that didn't work.
View 1 RepliesI am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.
