View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Finding The Size Of The Stage/Viewing Area
Dec 18, 2009How do I determine the pixel size of the stage or viewing area defined in Flash CS4? Isn't it just stage.width and stage.height?
Okay now the long version:
I'm working on a script in AS3 and Flash CS4, and I'm doing some art by code.
I wanted to make a progress bar for a preloader, so I made a Preloader MovieClip and on that movieclip I drew a white rectangle, and I told it to appear at stage.width / 3 and stage.height /3. It drew it at the top corner instead, and after a lot of experimentation, and reading the ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components Reference I found that a display object's width and height are defined by their contents, and you can't manually alter them to be bigger. So I figured that I could make an invisible rectangle the size of the stage in the background of the preloader MovieClip and that would make it the size of the stage, but I realized that I would still be stuck manually setting the stage size to match what I wrote in ActionScript. Untill the MovieClip containing the Preloader was added as a child object to the stage, which would then set the stage.width and stage.height to match those of the contents.
Now that I talk about it, I suppose I'm looking for the size of the perspective or viewing window, rather than the stage. The stage can be larger or smaller than the viewing window in Flash, can't it? But the perspective of the window is finite, unless you change it.
The thing is I'm sure I've polled this information to position an object at the center of the viewing area before, but I can't for the life of me remember how. So, that's what I'm asking; how do I find the dimensions of the viewing area, so that I can either position an object at the middle, or create an object the size of the viewing area, by code?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Zoom And Move The Viewing Area Around On The Site Layout?
Mar 13, 2009I'm trying to create a site where all of its sections are laid out side by side and the user can zoom into each section to check it out, just like this site: [URL]I have the actionscript that allows the user move the viewing area around, but im not sure how to incorporate the zooming into it. What I need might be something different entirely. Here's that:
on (release) {
_root.motionx = -950;
_root.motiony = -700.0;
_root.motionScale = 100;
}

Flex :: Get The Width And Height Of A Masked Area?
Dec 14, 2011I am loading an external swf using the SWFLoader component. The swf that is being loaded is masked so that only a portion is being shown. However, when it's loaded the actual size of the swf (loader.content.width/loader.content.height) is the complete swf including the masked area. Therefore, the loaded swf does not display properly in the itemrenderer Is there a way to to grab the size of the just the masked area as opposed to getting the size of the entire swf's contents? also i need to re size the masked area
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Height / Width Of Bounding Box Of Visible Area?
Jun 23, 2008In many cases the pieces have artifacts outside of their visible area. For example, a piece can have a picture of a dog's face, but one of the long ears is off to the side, outside the visible region of the piece. The path data is extremely detailed, so our designers didn't crop it off. They used a mask (at least I think it's a mask, I'm not a graphics guy and know little about that stuff) and this makes it invisible in Flash, when we turn them into movie clips. Also, in Flash when I look at the width and height of the piece, it does reflect only the visible area.However, in ActionScript when I try to get the width and height using, for example
Code:
pieceObject.width
I get the width of the piece including the part that is hidden, i.e. a larger width than the visible area.Is there a way in AS 3.0 to get the height / width of the bounding box of visible area only?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting / Getting FLV Height And Width
Feb 19, 2008Is there a way to retrieve and set the height and width of an FLV/Playback object via actionscript? I was hoping I could interact with the values via simple _height and _width properties, but that seems to offer all kinds of unexpected results in Flash (like reporting width in the thousands when the width is actually under 300, etc... height seems much closer to reality, but still off.)

Actionscript 3 :: Setting Width And Height Of A Sprite Container?
Feb 27, 2011I know this might seem like such an easy issue and I can't understand why I cant figure it out but none the less I can't and I've just about given up. Here's the issue:
I have a sprite container which is supposed to hold a bunch of thumbnails to videos. I am able to populate the container with all the videos and the whole works but obviously if I add a bunch of videos its going to exceed the size of the flash document so I need to add a UIScrollBar (which I did) now the scrollbars target is set to the container but isnt allowing me to scroll and if im correct this is because the container doesnt have a set height. So Im trying to set the height of this container but the second I try setting the height or even width all my thumbnails I used to be able to see are gone! It's as if the size is being set to 0 when its not I've even tried to set it to a specified size just to test and nothing.

Flex :: Get Label Height After Setting Text Property?
Jun 17, 2011I'm looping through a recordset, and for each item I create at runtime a spark Label and set the text property from a field of the recordset. The labels must have a fixed width and some text goes multiline. I want to arrange the label vertically so I need to know the height of the label so I can place the next label properly, but when I try to read this property, after the labels is added through the addElement mehtod, it returns 0.
how to get the label height?
Flex :: DataGroup - Setting Height Of Item Renderer
Nov 28, 2011I've been playing around with renderers the last few days for a mobile application. I'm creating a gridlike renderer that has columns that is light weight for a mobile app. It is a bit of a poor man's datagrid. The layout is fine. The question I have is controlling the height of each row in the list.
When measure() is called, I set the measuredHeight to:
measuredHeight = getElementPreferredHeight(ld) + verticalPadding;
Where vertical padding is:
var verticalPadding:Number = getStyle("paddingTop") + getStyle("paddingBottom");
When I debug on the desktop, the measuredHeight is set to 12 and on the device (Motorola Atrix), it is set to 12. But when layoutContents is called, the unscaledHeight is a number much larger than my measuredHeight value (44 on the device, 66 when running on the desktop), resulting in more vertical whitespace surrounding each item than I care to have. How do I control that row height? I happen to be using a Datagroup for this particular example but in some playing around I did with just a simple list, I had the same issue. Somewhere the system is overriding my measuredHeight with some other value.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Setting Line Height / Kearning?
Jan 5, 2010I keep feeling like this is just a case of not RTFM hard enough, but I'm just not seeing the answer. Is there a way to use AS3 to dynamically set leading in a dynanmic text field?I've found the getLineMetrics function, which returns a TextLineMetrics instance. This instance can tell me what my leading already is, but when I try to change the value I see nothing change onscreen. Likewise, I don't see any setLineMetrics function to go along with the text field. Is there just no way to change it?

Flex :: Resizing A Spark Group By Setting Width And Height?

Mar 3, 2012I'm trying to set a Spark list control to 100% height of a View inside of a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication.
<s:List dataProvider="{dp}" itemRenderer="renderers.Renderer" width="100%" height="100%" />
Using this I can't seem to get the list to fit to the view, it always ends up being much too tall.I'm testing using the Flash Builder mobile profile, the results seem to be the same across all phones. Setting the height to some number under 50% seems to bring the list closer to full width but it's not consistent across phones.
My app container is set for 160DPI
<s:TabbedViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" applicationDPI="160" applicationComplete="init(event)">
I haven't come across this issue until I started using TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, 100% seems to work fine in a standard view based application.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting An Empty Movieclip Default Width / Height
Aug 20, 2006I have a movieclip with the instance name of "container_mc" that I am loading a external swf file into.When I trace(container_mc._width) after the preload it returns 0.Is there any way to tell the movieclip to stay at a width of 760px and a height of 460px regardless of the content that is loaded?Reason being, I then have a function that positions the container_mc movieclip in the center of the stage based on the Stage.width/height..The only way I have been able to get this to work thus far is to have a 760px by 460px square shape, position the movieclip.. then load the content to replace the square shape however I'd rather be able to default everything without having to do that.
