Does anyone know of a custom resize control for movieclips that can be used to resize a movieclip by dragging the control ( similar to the bottom-right corner resize controls common to most GUI( apps ) ?
View 2 RepliesI'm pretty new to Flash and seem to be struggling with variable scope, events and where to put code within movieclips/main area etc. What I'm trying to do is produce a Flash movie that will allow the user to click on a tool from a selection, i.e. a circle, then click on another part of the screen to place the centre of the circle, with a second click to set the radius of the circle (an alternative would be a single click and drag to place the circle and drag it out to the desired radius.) Once the mouse if clicked a 2nd time, or the drag operation is completed, the circle will stay at the selected radius.
The code I'm using so far to test out the idea is below:
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
_root["item1"].onMouseMove=function(){
d = Math.sqrt(Math.abs(_xmouse-this._x)*Math.abs(_xmouse-this._x)+Math.abs(_ymouse-this._y)*Math.abs(_ymouse-this._y));
if(d<370){
this._width = d*2;
this._height = d*2;
}else{
this._width = 87;
this._height = 87;
}}}
This uses a simple circle movieclip, and the above code is placed in Frame 1 of the background as opposed to the movieclip itself. It resizes the circle movieclip ok, but I want to be able to control the resize with the mouse or with a single click/drag.
Normally the user can resize the swf window when it is playing on flash player. I want to stop the user to resize it. It is possible when we use 'fscommand("allowscale", "false")'. I dont know why it is not working for me. Did i use the script wrongly or do I need to do anything in somewhere?

Is there something that I don't know about custom components resizing?
I've created a custom uicomponent and whenever the browser or its specific container is resized, a repaint occurs but the contents of the component get drawn again and again and again...So, if I move the container I'll end up with multiple circles drawn on top of each other but offset depending upon where the container is when the repaint occurs.My updateDisplayList code is below.Do I need to do some sort of clear so that it doesn't contiuously getting duplicated like this?
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
trace("height: " + parent.height);
trace("width: " + parent.width);

View 3 RepliesI've created a simple scrolling thumbnails movieclip, with movement based on interacting with the timeline of the MC rather than its position based on the mouse position.
Although the timeline is activated when one moves their mouse to either end of the thumbnail panel, I wanted to include a scroll bar to show how far up or down the user had scrolled.
Now, I wanted to know whether I could make that scroll bar interactive, and drag to change the frame number. The scroller is a motion tween that moves from the top to the bottom of the scroll bar in sync with the thumbnails. Can I make the bar dragable, and tell it to move through the frames as it is dragged up and down?

View 3 RepliesI understand that this is something really, really basic, but for all my Googling I can't seem to find a clear answer.I have a movieClip with around 1500px of vertical content inside (a grid of images). But when I trace its height, it says it's only 400px high. I need it to actually report a height of 1500px, or it doesn't scroll properly.

View 4 RepliesI 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.
