trace ("The Width is: " + stage.width + "."); trace ("The Height is: " + stage.height + "."); The Width is: 0. The Height is: 0. Why is it Zero instead of the document's size ?
View 2 RepliesI have a Movieclip on stage with nested movieclips inside. All referenced at 0,0. None of the child movieclips load any dynamic content, animate or have Masked Layers. It does have an input textfield in one of the child MCs. The parent MC shows 280 px width, while it returns 313 px with a .width trace. There is no code that alters the .width value of the parent MC at run-time. And the ParentMC on stage is not scaled (it is at 100% width/height)
View 1 Repliesis there a way to make a minimum width and stop resize? I have a menu I am building that is locked to the bottom of the browser and 3 buttons on the left and a movieClip on the right. When you resize the browser window - currently - you can make the button on the right sink under the three on the left.

how to get a movieclip named "topnav" to resize it's width to match that of the stage. I am trying to resize the width of a top nav bar across a resizable RIA. I have started with the following code but with only partial success:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeListener);
function resizeListener (e:Event):void {
var reg2 = stage.stageWidth / 100;

I am trying to reference to top level (stage) width and height of the main stage for the placement of something located inside a movieclip on the stage.
My code is:
Code:
my_loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - my_loader.width)/2;
my_loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - my_loader.height)/2;
But this seems to just relate to the width/height of the mc that my_loader is nested in...
I have tried the following and had no luck:
stage.stage.stageWidth
root.stage.stageWidth
parent.stage.stageWidth
MovieClip(root).stage.stageWidth
I have mc1 which contains code to dynamically generate multiple textfields based on an xml file, but mc1 has nothing physically on its timeline. I want to make another mc, mc2, where its y location is relative to the height of mc1, but when I trace the height of mc1 it returns 0.
Is there any way to get a height based on however many textfields are dynamically loaded into mc1? The height will naturally be varying so I can't just create a variable for a constant height.
I have fla file with 550px width . how to find out that document width in as3.
View 3 RepliesI have two files, MenuButton and JerkChicken (my document class...don't ask).
MenuButton loads a font and then creates a textfield with a background rectangle that is inivisible (for a hit state).
In my document class (JerkChicken.as) I build a menu with the following function:
Code:
private function buildMenu() {
var labels:Array = new Array(
"one",
[Code]....
Or something similar...basically I want to take the width of the menu button, add a bit of space and then place down the next menu button (to make a horizontal menu bar).
The problem I am having is menuButton.width is returning 0.
In the menuButton class when I try to trace the width (i.e. trace (_bgWidth)) I am getting the width but when the button is created in the document class, I am not retrieving the width.
I guess what I am looking for is to somehow send "_bgWidth" from the MenuButton class to the document class...but I don't know how to do this.
It's probably a no brainer, but I've spent the last 40 minutes or so looking for it to no avial.
I have a Canvas control with a fixed width and a horizontal scrollbar.I'm trying to find the actual width of the control.The .width (fixed width) + the part being revealed by the scrollbar.I tried explicitWidth, width + maxHorizontalScrollPosition, and some other combos but non of them hit the spot.
I am looking at the SimpleButton entirely wrong. Here's what I'm doing (inside of a MovieClip):

I've got a TileList with verticalScrollPolicy="on".
Is there a property that returns the width of the tileList minus the width of the scrollbar?
Is there a function or property or better way to do what the following code do?

while (textField.defaultTextFormat.size > 1 && textField.width > width) {
textField.defaultTextFormat.size--

I am creating a nav in flex that pulls in buttons dynamically from xml. THe problem i am having is setting the button width to the text width. currently the buttons are all the same width and if the text is larger then it just cuts off. I've tried a few ways of doing this:Setting button width to 100%On creation of the button try to set the width of the button to the text programmatically. Something like evt.target.width = evt.target.textWidth;

On my website, I display uploaded PDF files in a flash player for my users to read. I already use various tools to extract the text and produce a serious of high quality images from the file and the system works well. The last piece of the puzzle is to be able to highlight specific parts of the document to help users with accessibility issues.
However I cannot figure out how to calculate where the specific text is positioned on the page? Notes: The documents uploaded to the system are from 3rd parties, so fonts may be embedded. Meaning that I cannot be sure of the width of specific letters. The text to be highlighted may not be unique, the same text may be repeated How can I calculate the coordinates, height and width of a specific piece of text on a PDF, so that I can then draw a box around it?

View 1 RepliesOnce I've set either the width or percentWidth property on a flex label, is there a way to reset the width to its default (i.e., the width of the text plus padding)? I'm using the label as a renderer. In some cases, I'd like it to automatically size to the text, and in other cases, I'd like it to be a percentage width of its container. Obviously, I could use two separate labels, one for each of the above cases, but I'm curious if it's possible to reset the label to its default behavior.
