I have a movieclip which contains nested movieclip( i mean i contains other movieclip inside it) and the outter moviclip will scale when the stage resizes and fit in the window wich is all right but the nested movieclip should not scale ( i mean i dont want to scale the inner movie clip) how can i do that in action script 3.0.

View 7 RepliesWhen you scale a movieClip with some text field inside how do you prevent that text field from scaling?
View 5 RepliesMy class is extending Sprite and inside i have overwritten width, height, scaleX and scaleY setters and forbidden scaling if scalable property is set to false. When i test this (put it on the stage and try scaling using these methods) it works fine. However if I add it as a child of some other DisplayObjectContainer and scale it my object is scaled too. Are there other public scaling methods that I could overwrite and that I am unaware of? If not, how could I achieve this effect without overwriting it's parent container's scaling methods?

View 3 RepliesI've created a piece that uses various custom cursors depending on what "tool" the user is using (like in the Flash or Photoshop UI). is there was a way to disable the scaling of these custom movieClips in case the user decides to view the piece in fullscreen? I would like the cursors to remain the same size as the system cursor, regardless of how big the asset is.
View 1 RepliesI want to animate a person moving off into the distance, but while I want the size of the figure to get smaller, I don't want the weight of the lines that comprise the image to scale down, too. I made this little sample of a person skating (poorly) away from the viewer, and I'd like the line weight to be 9 points in the first frame and the last frame. Is there a setting that allows me to exclude stroke weight when scaling and resizing an object?
View 1 Repliesin flash AS1,2 you just input this code Stage.scaleMode="noScale";
on a frame of the main stage to prevent scaling of movieclips on fullscreen.I tried the same thing in AS3 and its not working for me. so my question is how would i apply this in AS3?
I have finished my flash game, but when I used web Browser such as Chrome or FireFox to run it, it enlarged my game to full size of the browser. Is there anyway( in AS3 script) that I could prevent this from happening as well as hide the symbols that their sizes are bigger than my default size defined at the document property panel?
View 1 Repliesi have a diagonal movieclip that I am trying to scale along with the background video. The background video scales perfect, I am attaching the diagonal movieclip (br in the code as bottomright) with addChild
Instead of scaling with the window, it seems to repeat such as the image is displaying. this is the main section of the code that is doing the scaling
var br:mc_bottomright = new mc_bottomright();
addChild(br);
//proportional scale
if ((stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight)> (owidth/oheight))

I am trying to achieve an effect of scaling a movie clip on click...very similar to [URL] When the user clicks on See, Hear, Play and Shop boxes, the boxes expand. I have created a box movieclip that has a bar on top. This bar is a movie clip inside the box movieclip. When i try to scale the main box movieclip, the internal bar movie clip scales as well. How to stop this?
View 2 RepliesI have an AS3 movieclip with a button. Both the movieclip and button needs a click event but when I click the button it also fires the parent movieclip's event handler.
View 1 RepliesI have a portion of a project that is similar to a MS paint program and the user can create a picture/poster, etc. When they hit the continue button, I am able to scale down the picture they created (it is in a movieclip) and store it in an array to be returned later on in the project. The only problem is that when it is returned, sometimes the textboxes that they inserted will push the last word to a new line.ex. They type = "This is my poster Yeah!"it returns = "This is my posterYeah!"I was playing with converting it to a bitmap and then displaying that, but I've never used that so I'm unsuccessful
View 0 Repliesi have read a number of tutorials on the internet trying to find a fix to the problem i am having. Everytime i create a new movieclip using public var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); the movie clip is created after setting the values and drawing a square to show it in the file. However when i add an image to the movie clip i created it scales to be the same size as the movie clip or half the size of the movie clip which isnt what i want.
mc.addChild( GameTile ); // add the square instance into display list
GameTile.loadBitmap("stronghold.jpg", 0, 0);
This is the code i use to add an instance of my image class to the movieclip called mc. I was wondering if anyone has a simple way of scaling the image to its original size within the new movieclip instance? I have tried various ways of scaling and it works but when the window is resized the image is not the correct size.
I have a MovieClip, named "thing", that's in one position and in another position on the next frame. I added an eventlistener to "thing" to advance frames. Very simple, everything works fine.I then add "thing.alpha = 0.5" in the button's event listener. Now when I publish the file, thing fades but doesn't move.
p.s. For reference, here's the entirety of my AS3 on the first frame:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
thing.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doClick);

I have a MovieClip object, which is exported for actionscript (AS3) in an .swc file.When I place an instance of the clip on the stage without any modifications, it appears in the upper left corner, about half off stage (i.e. only the lower right quadrant of the object is visible). I understand that this is because the clip has a registration point which is not the upper left corner.If you call getBounds() on the movieclip you can get the bounds of the clip (presumably from the "point" that it's aligned on) which looks something like (left: -303, top: -100, right: 303, bottom: 100), you can subtract the left and top values from the clip x and y:[code]matrix has a tx value of 748 (half of stage height) ty value of 426 (Half of stage height)concatenatedMatrix has a tx value of 1699.5 and ty value of 967.75That's also obviously where the movieclip is getting positioned, but why? Where is this additional translation coming from?
View 1 RepliesI have a few swf's that are loaded into a base file using levels. These clips can be cycled through by means of a setInterval function or when the user clicks the next or previous button. However, when the user hovers over a defined 'hit' area which is ultimately a blank movie clip, the setTimeout call is then canceled. This works fine, except that now the 'hit' clip - being above everything - prevents the movies below accepting hit states, and if I move it to below everything else, when one mouses over any element in the loaded movie, it then acts as though the user has mouse out of the hit area.
Is there any way to have this 'hit' clip do its job simply by determining if the mouse is over it, but without using an onRollOver function or equivalent?
I have a movieclip in the library that contains a RadioButton component and a TextField; it serves as a container. I pull the clip out of the library at runtime and populate the text into the TextField. I don't know what height the TextField within the movieclip will be but I want the movieclip's height to be the same as the height of the text in the TextField so I can position it appropriately. However, the container movieclip always wants to be some other default height (I think 100px) and when I try to change it thru code after the text is set, it scales the whole thing (TextField & RadioButton) and looks like garbage! I need to set the height dynamically without the stupid scaling.
You would think the movieclip would resize based on it's content but it doesn't! I've tried pulling it from the Library, I've tried doing everything thru code, but neither changes the height vs. scaling issue.
I have a doubt regarding scaling a movieclip. I tried this method where I make a movieclip dynamically, add an image to it which I load from my desktop. The image appears fine. But when I scale the movieclip using the mc.scaleX and mc.scaleY properties the mc woudnt budge. There must be some other wat we can accomplish that. Can someone put in some thoughts on it. here's the code..

In the code I have not used the scaling codes since it doesnt work. And when I add the two line code, the image disappears, but the mc is on the stage which is clickable. maybe I should place my mc inside a container?
I have a movieclip (view_mc), I want to scale it in a restricted area.
I have made an IF statement,
when its width and height are less than the width and height of the restricted area, then do scale.
but when it reaches the width and height of the restricted area I can't scale it down.
Here is the code:
view_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, on_enter_scale);
function on_enter_scale(e:Event):void

View 3 RepliesI have a Movieclip containing five images in a row. I have seven images inside a mc next to eachother like a T (Five across and three down) with one image being the center image. The images are under a mask an then the images tween on the X and Y but obviously only the masked part of the image is visible. The mask is 1280x649 and I was wondering how to proportionally scale only the masked area to full screen. I have the following code which works perfectly on a single image inside a mc but how do I do now?
Code:
stage.align = "TL";
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var picHeight = pic.height / pic.width;
var picWidth = pic.width / pic.height;

Essentially I'm building an application in Flash, just for the fun of it really. Upon the initial design it was just a static size, now however I've been working on making it completely resizeable (with the original size as the minimum). I've done this on most of the screens correctly. However on the main screen I have several components. All custom built MovieClips basically, and inside these are more MovieClips, and inside those are even more movieclips.
For my question, I'm going to be using a button as my example. I created a button movieclip with a resize function to call after I change the size of it. So it works like this:
ActionScript Code:
buttonMC.width = 200;
buttonMC.height = 150;
buttonMC.resized();
Now this button is inside of another movieclip which is designed to just house a group of similar movieclips. (this structure is not changable; several hundreds of lines are code are specifically designed around it). How to get our button's width from the root timeline, we'd do this:
ActionScript Code:
trace(housingMC.buttonMC.width);
Now, when this frame gets resized, the resizing script changes the width height of the housingMC. Something like this: (not a working example)
ActionScript Code:
//resize listener {
housingMC.width += stageWidth - oldStageWidth; //width difference
housingMC.width += stageHeight - oldStageHeight; //height difference
And the housingMC changes to the correct size in the correct position of the screen.

Look at the example: Left sqaure mc1 is cachedAsBitmap right square mc2 is usual MC.
Go mouse over the edge for scaling for both mc's. Cached movieclip goes crazy
How I can bypass this thing easily?
I am building a flash piece in which I need an object to move across the stage from right to left and scale from 100% just off the right side of the stage, to 70% in the middle of the stage and then 100% again just off the left side of the stage. Giving the illusion that it is moving in a circular pattern around the viewer. My goal is to get the scaling to be relative to the MC's x position on the stage. Moving it across the stage is the easy part, and I can scale the MC from 100% on the right to 0% on the left using an onEnterFrame function containing:
MC._xscale = MC._yscale = Math.round((MC._x/Stage.width)*100);
but I can't seem to figure the 100-70-100 deal out. I thought there might be a math function like sin, cos or tan that would really help out, but I can't seem to find anything out there
I am using the following code on individual movie clips to keep the object centered in a fluid layout:
onClipEvent(load){
this._x= (Stage.width)/2;
this._y= (Stage.height)/2;
Stage.addListener(this)
this.onResize=function(){
this._x= (Stage.width)/2;
this._y= (Stage.height)/2;
}}
My question is this: Can I add/modify to this code to make the MC scale proportionately up as I drag the browser window farther open? Right now it stays centered but it stays the same size.
Flash MovieClip scaleX not Scaling?
View 1 RepliesSo I've got problem with some drawing objects inside movieclip in my flash file... Setting width and height of flash to match browser's w&h got my movie clip to get correct values, but unfortunately drawing objects inside of it are not scaled as movieclip. Those object are just random stripes that got some tween on it acting as somekind of preloader... All graphics are pulled from ai file, so no AS was used to manipulate them, just pure tweening in design mode...So if my stage w & h are lets say 720 x 50, graphics inside movieclip are 1600 x 900 which match my monitor's resolution.
View 1 RepliesIs there any performance difference? I am scaling a 2000 - 4000 wide movieclip, within a 600 wide stage. Does it matter which way I scale it in terms of CPU usage;
myMovieClip.scaleX *= 2;
or
myMovieClip.width *= 2;
The movieclip will be scaled multiple times and to varying sizes.
