Given that circle1 is on the stage, shouldn't localToGlobal leave the co-ordinates unchanged? I think the result of its call is wrong!
I am including a image on SWF file (using Flash CS4) i want images to keep its original dimension whether user fullscreen the SWF movie or play it on windows.
currently i do not have any action script or coding on my .fla file. when i publish the movie and fullscreen it, the image i put in fla file get all stretched out and blur.
I want a LinkButton's style to stay unchanged when the mouse hovers over it. (But I still want the tooltip to work.) How do I do this?
(The mouseOver event seems relevant, and I do a noop() on that event, but my goal is to leave the style unchanged rather than do something specific.)
By the way, I am using a non-default style, defining it with CSS in the MXML.
I'm trying to autosize my combobox, according to the textWidth of its biggest items. I've got the right textWidth without setting the textFormat, but by setting textFormat, with a bigger font size (like 30), the textWidth stays the same !
Code:
var myFormat : TextFormat = new TextFormat("Trebuchet MS", 30, 0x0000FF);var myCbx
myCbx= new ComboBox ;
myCbx.x = 0;

I have a game of you controlling a rocket and avoiding walls.When you hit the walls the rocket goes to frame 50 and plays an explosion sound and an animation then the playhead stops at frame 70.But for some mystical reason when the rocket is still moving (as in not blown up yet) the sound keeps repeating over and over. I placed a trace in the rocket's enterframe event to check its currentFrame but it stays at frame 1 like it should. And yet the sounds still keeps playing. This is just infuriating.

Eg: Balloon, Monkey
If I need the Monkey co-ordinates fixed relative to the Balloon only and my Global or Stage Co-ordinates fixed at the Top - Left hand corner should not affect my Monkey's movements.
i.e Monkey's co-ordinates computed with respect to Balloon's only.
I have 52 (pack of cards) movieclips on stage all turned invisible When selected they turn visible. and need to display in one of five set positions (e.g. x and Y co-ordinates). If the first slot if full the card should be displayed in slot two. IF slot two is full the next dard displays in slolt three. I card two is then removed and a space left the next card chosen should go in there.
View 3 RepliesUsing AS3 in flash CS4Hi i have some imported text from a tab delimited/seperated text file (.txt).I have split the values into an array using .split('') .split(' ')I have stored the imported data into an array where each column has a new index and the properties of each row can be gained from array[n].property. For example array[4].name would give the 'name' of the 4th entity in the original text file.This all works fine however some of the separated strings are formatted incorrectly as they take up 2 lines instead of one.The first string in each line in the original text file is imported into flash with a new line above it. I.e: "Property1" in the original tab delimited/seperated text file is stored in flash as "Property1" with a new line above it. I need to get rid of this new line in order to appropriately display the text in text fields.

If I add the button component to my movieclip it makes it bigger, as if there's some sort of invisible padding or margin around it. Making a new fla, dragging the button component, and setting the below code as the document class produces a trace of w: 320, h:250 when run.Removing the mc.addChild(btn) line gives me a trace of w: 320 h: 240.The button isn't even close to the edge of the movieclip, so why is it expanding the movieclip's height by 10 pixels? I've been reading the documentation for the last few hours, but I can't find some hidden margin style or anything of the like I've been missing. The FLA & .as file are available here http[url].....

I'm making a game, and it has an onEnterFrame which checks each players status (hp and turn), and decides what to do based on that. Looks like this:
Code:
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(enemy.HP>0){
if(hero.HP>0){
if(hero.turn==0) {
[code]....
So this works fine when it's the players turn. But when it's the enemy's turn, the enemy simply attacks a bunch till hero.HP<0 and enemy wins. I am certain this is because it's checking each frame to see if it's the enemies turn and then it executes the hitting code before the turn is changed (which must mean this is freakin fast, so cool, but not good for me here!).I tried simply making a function to call at the end of the attack, with a function that happens only on first turn to let the player initiate, but when then the hero makes no attack, enemy attacks and there is a recursion error and it shuts down.

View 5 RepliesAm updating a 2D game I made to have an isometric view, problem is am having issues when converting the 2d coordinates of given movieclips into isometric ones. The way I converted my game into an isometric one is just by rotating rectangular graphic 45 degrees and increasing its width such that its 2 times the height.I having problems converting all my 2D coordinates into isometric ones.Is there a function to convert them, or a mathematical formula I could use? by the way the game am making is not tile based, so functions that use tiles to convert the coordinates are not going to work unfortunately.
EDIT: I managed to fix it, I just changed the alignment to be the upper left corner, i.e. though the game is isometric and has a demimonde shape, I imagined that it is contained in a box, and that box's upper left edge is where it is aligned...this way both x and y coordinates r the same ones in both 2D and "isometric" view.
There is something i do not understand, i'm making a Tetris like game and i want borders (limits) but when put an height and width to my MovieClip nothing appears.
Code:

I have second problem, i check my coordinates of my dropping shapes and my shape disapeared from the screen,fell completely down, and it's last coordinates were : pos = (x=-6, y=371).My bottom is suppose to be at 440? The entire screen does not "measure" 400 pixels? How can u get a negative coordinate,are'nt the coordinates suppose to be like texture coordinates, only positive and (0,0) is at the top left corner?How do u measure the pixels limits of the top DisplayObject? How are the coordinates actually "setuped"? Like cartesian but only the upper part?

Is it possible to change the x y co-ordinates of various levels within a movie.I havecreated a movie that references a lot of other movies on different level and loads them when required, from buttons etc. I have since created another movie that is basically border/interface around the original parent movie. The original parent movie loads exactly where I want it to, but the subsequent movies still load with x:0 y:0 so they are all out. I figure the easiest way would be to change the x, y co-ordinates of the levels in the riginal parent movie but I can't seem to find a solution.
View 3 RepliesI have a bunch of enemy ships in a container on the stage.I am moving the container around every second and I'm creating bullets that the enemy ship are firing.So I need to have the bullets get created on the stage where the enemy ship is located currently so I can have it y-- on an enter frame event.The Y coordiantes are accurate but for some reason the X coordinates get scaled across the screen. So the first enemy ship is only off by 10 pixels or so, but the 2nd ship, the bullet gets created about 50-60 pixels over to the right.Is there any reason why the Y would be right but the X isn't?[code]
View 1 RepliesIn flash actionscript3.0 Now we have one problem with speech and thought bubbles.
we want to transform the movieclip inside the textfield. if transform, textfield text shouldn't resize.
In my flash program I have everything on one frame. In the actionscript on that frame, I made a variable called currentButton and set it to the first button, to keep track of which button is currently pressed. In the click function this variable is changed to whatever button was clicked.Now, I didn't think this would work, because seeing that the one frame is being played over and over, (there's no stop() command in there) I thought currentButton would keep being reset every frame. To my surprise, it worked just fine. Not that I'm complaining, but I'd like to know why it's doing that. Shouldn't all the code on the frame be done every time the frame is played, including the part that sets currentButton to button1?
View 4 RepliesHow it is possible to draw a square in Flash if co-ordinates are is in XML?
View 3 RepliesI've set a movie to appear in my flash library using attachMovie. In the movie(Red), on release of a button there is a command that removes the movie Red/game_mc from the _root and code to make it an new file. I've given co-ordinates to other clips loaded in this way and they appear where they should.
[Code]....
The _root.game_mc being removed is an instance of a different movie clip loaded earlier. The problem is that the clip that loads at the origin (0,0) of the main document rather than the _x and _y co-ordinates from the clip.
function traceCoordinates(event:MouseEvent):void {
var clickPoint:Point = new Point(square.mouseX, square.mouseY);
trace("display object coordinates:", clickPoint);
trace("stage coordinates:", square.localToGlobal(clickPoint));
}
i just want to find extract the .x value? clickPoint.x does not work???
I have a some objects of same class type prgramatically generated on the stage.Inside these objects which are generally at x=300 on the stage is the code:
Code:
this.x+=2.3;
trace(parent.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x,this.y)), ", ", this.x , " ", this.y);
A sample of the trace output is as follows..
(x=2.3, y=0) , 2.3 0
Now im expecting some values in there somewhere to indicate its absolute location on the stage, ie, x=300.This isnt happening.Whats the correct syntax i should be using.Bare in mind these object will be of any name on the stage and will be dynamically created so its not easy to just reference their mc names.
i am teaching myself how to use localToGlobal(), and i seem to be running into a scoping snag, at least i THINK it is a scoping snag. So when i use Code:

i get the desired effect, yippee. That is to say, the output says 299, which is what the global coordinate of the movie is. However when i try use the same code in the main time line like this

I'm absolutely new to AS and wondering why this doesn't move the way I'd like it to...Logically, shouldn't the x increment display each time it happens, showing a constant animation? Instead, the x increments 50 at a time, so the rect is at 0, then it's a 50
