ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Scale Children Uniformly
Jan 19, 2010
Here's one that I think it may require a little conceptual math related skills that I can't get my head around, or it could be a simple solution staring me right in the face which is equally as likely. on the stage I've got a input textfield.and a clip named container with 4 children in itI need to resize EACH child individually ( when the text field changes ) like so ...
ActionScript Code:
inputTextField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
function changeHandler(e:Event):void {

What's the best way to scale a container mc but not scale the children inside it? Basically I have a box mc with a background colour, with a logo added using addChild, if the user changes the browser size the box scales to the height of the window but it's also scaling the logo, I just want to change the height of the container box really.

I'm implementing a frame class that builds a graphical frame around children using 9 bitmaps (4 corners and 5 middle pieces).The frame extends sprite, and the 9 frame bitmaps are attached as children. They are repositioned as necessary to encompass any other children on the sprite.
This works fine, normally, but as soon as I rotate or scale the frame, the children split apart, showing what appears to be a one pixel or partial pixel gap between the pieces.
I've tried setting pixelSnapping = PixelSnapping.NEVER on the 9 bitmaps. I've tried turning smoothing=true. The children bitmaps are always positioned at integer x, y's, never fractional. I've tried setting the scale of the children bitmap to 1.01 and PixelSnapping to AUTO. None of it works.

I have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:
[Code]...
In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

Scenario: main moveiclip with 4 other clips in it. I want the rolledover clip to scale up and all the others to scale down and blur.
Question: What is the most effiecent way to code this. Would it be a "for in loop"? I am trying to minimize the code and would rather not use a whole bunch of if then statements.

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?

How can I convert the current scale of the instance to 100% so I can easily "visualize" and manage the instance when I modify its scale? Here's the actionscript, it works, but I just want the temp._xscale and temp._yscale to be in percentages, not real numbers.
Code:
USflag.onMouseDown = function ()
{
var temp = USflag;
onEnterFrame = function ()
[code]....
One last thing, what's the tag you have to put that is designed for boxing actionscripts? I'm suing [ code ][ /code ]

for some reason STORAGE[0].getChildAt(0) works whereas liner.getChildAt(0).getChildAt(0) does not. STORAGE is a movieclip and a child of liner. the error is something about not being able to use getChildAt on a display object. what's wrong? is there any other approach i could use? PS: liner.getChildAt(0) works and does indeed seem to refer to STORAGE[0]

I am trying to use swfobject 2.2 to display an swf, but the swf won't scale to fit the div that I'm putting it in. You can see what I've got here. When it first loads, it is the right size, then it expands larger for some reason. If I right-click on the movie and select "Show All", it then fits perfectly.[code]

Is there a way to make it add the child properly instead of botching the entry up like that?

test.appendChild(new XML("<test>2</test>"));

It's been awhile since I've worked in as2 but I think I'm close to accomplishing this. I've got one mc to center itself in the browser and move with the browser size without scaling. What I'm trying to do now is get my background video to scale with the browser without affecting the centered mc. I've grabbed this code and altered from another source.

I have finished my Flash presentation which is set for a large monitor. My file is 1920x1080. How can I get the SWF to scale to a smaller monitor if needed? When I output an HTML file, (set at 100%) the file scales, but the rollover buttons only work on (Click) and the cursor doesn't change from the arrow to a hand. Is there a code that I can place within the action window?

What is the easiest way to "globally" shrink an entire Flash Movie?I designed a entire site at 960x610 and the person I did it for has a 13" macbook and he needs to scroll down to get to the bottom of the page and would like it to fit completely without having to scroll down.so what is the easiest way for me to say publish it at say 90-95% keeping all things proportional?

ok, my Digital arts class is making a flash project, and im like the only one actually making a game, so im pretty much alone. i got a lot of help from the people on the AS3 forum, but im pretty sure that my question is too easy to put there. so, i have an array, and it basicly puts a spike on the screen at a random Y, and moves it across the screen, but, when i hit a spike, and ti goes to the you lose screen, the loop keeps adding children, and putting them on the screen, is it possible to just say stop adding children, and go to the next frame? i have a break, but when i stop colliding with the spike in the next frame, the spikes start coming again. also, can i totally reset the movie? cause when i just go to frame 1, the array plays itself ontop of itself and it gets twice as hard

I'm getting a list of movieclips with attached scripts to display, but when I try to put them on the sceen nothing shows up.I can trace the elements in the list and it will tell me there are elements there.I can trace getChildAt(numChildren -1) and it will tell me there is something there but nothing is visible.If I generate the list in the constructor of the class that handles the displaying it does show them, but when I try to load them when they are actually needed they don't show up.Here's a simplification of the code(its a small part of a larger project and I can't put all of it up somewhere public)This code does what it should do(unfortunately that is not what I need done)
Code:
package foo.bar
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
[code]...
The traces all show up so I know its running the method, the traces tell me it adds stuff the the screen, but what I see on the screen remains completely stagnant, as if nothing is being added.

adding all the bricks of another movie clip into an array in my controlling mc (GameScreen). Except, when I try to remove them from the display list by accessing them from their array, I get
Quote:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()...and so on
I'm guessing it's something to do with adding another movie clip's children into an array in a movieclip that isn't the stored clips' direct parent, but it's parent's parent.
Code:
private function checkBrickHit():void{
for(var i:int=0;i<brickArray.length;i++){
