ActionScript 1/2 :: Passing Coordinates Relative To Stage Into A Nested MC?
Jul 8, 2009I am building a project where I have 15 'islands' inside one big 'ocean' movie clip. I created navigation buttons so you can explore the Ocean movie clip and look around the islands. my problem comes when i want to 'zoom into an island'
So basically on the stage i have a movie clip called- Ocean_mc, and inside it are 15 movie clips, one of them (for this example) is a movie clip called GreenIsland_mc.
when a user clicks the GreenIsland_mc it needs to expand and place itself centre stage, then when clicked again in needs to colaps back to where it came from. The problem is that when GreenIsland_mc expands it needs to expand to coordinates relative to the stage, but when I shrink it back again it need to find the original coordinates relative to its place inside the Ocean_mc movie clip.

View 2 RepliesFlex :: Store ColorPicker Value In A Variable And Bind The Variable To A TextInput
Dec 11, 2009I would like to store a hex colorPicker value in a variable and then cast the value of the var backout to a textInput. The textInput is just to see witch hexcolor i have choosen.
thus meaning seeing 0x000000 in the textInput.
what i've done now is pretty simple i have bound the flex colorPicker directly to my textInput. but i want to store the value from the colorPicker in a var first and than spit it backout to the textInput to see the value that i have picked.
When i pick a color value that begins with the number 0 it drops the 0's at the beginning of the number and only spits out the numbers greater than 0. (000033 becomes 33, FF0000 stays FF0000). I want to catch the whole value or write some kind a function to figure out how many 0's got dropped and concatenate it together with 0x. Store that all into a var and bind it to the flex TextInput.
This is what i've got.

IDE :: Proportional Scaling MovieClips Relative To Stage?
Jan 30, 2009how to proportionally scale multiple movieClips relative to the stage size.
I understand movieclip placement relative to the stage, and I have been using a code to scale MovieClips as a fullscreen background (also proportionally)
But
I can not figure out for the life of me how to scale other movieclips in relation
to the stage size.
for example I have a background_mc that proportionally scales with the stage
to fill without distortion.
HOW do I then place another MC say center aligned (I know how to do that) that will scale with the background without distortion?
Ideally I would like to place several MC's on my stage all scaling in proportion with the stage yet independently.
I have not been able to find any documentation on this. lots of tutorials on backgrounds and color fills and the like but nothing on proportional scaling of independent mc's
this is the code I use for my background_mc (can it be modified or should it be thrown out the window to achieve independent scaling?)
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

Professional :: How To Set MovieClip Position Relative To Stage With Classes
Mar 1, 2011I'm developing my first flash app. I'm trying to use classes because they'll be very important in my future app. I created a simple movieclip with a star. However, instead of putting it directly on the stage, I'm calling it from library, using the addChild method to place the star in the stage. To do that, I simple right click over the movieclip icon->properties->check export to action script->and I give a name to the class (for example: myMC)
Then, inside the class I wrote:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class myMC extends MovieClip {
var star:myMC=new myMC();
public function myMC() {
[Code] .....
As I am placing the two variables origin_x and origin_y inside the constructor, I'm expecting to get 250 and 200 respectively. After drop the star, I want to send it to it's original place, and that's why I need to keep this values. And here's the problem, origin_x and origin_y are both ZERO, instead of 250 and 200... The value is not relative to stage. I managed a little bit and I found this post : [URL]. Unfortunately I tried to replace by the suggested code, but both values remain zero. An interesting thing, is that if I put the star directly in the stage instead of calling it from the library as I am doing, I get correct values in origin_x and origin_y.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Position MovieClip Relative To Stage From Within Classes
Aug 5, 2011I have a Flash file for an xml driven menu. There is the document Class, called Main. There is also a Navigation class. In the Navigation class, I position the location of main buttons and sub menu buttons for the menu. I want to position the buttons in the Navigation class relative to the stage. Currently, they are just fixed at certain positions (like 20); To do this, I have read that because this is not happening in the document class.
I must add an event listener to the constructor that listens for the added to stage event. I am not sure how to do this, as when I try and add an event listener for added to stage in the Navigation class nothing happens, (or all menu items diaspear). How to position movie clips relative to the stage (i.e. stage.stageWidth - 50) from a class that is not document class? How to do so in the document class, too.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Store Variable Name In Same?
May 12, 2011I'm getting back into AS after a few years, and it's taking a bit to get used to the syntax of AS 3.0.
Anyway, I don't know the answer to the following in AS 2.0, so I wonder if it's even possible.
Basically, I want to know if there is a way to call a variable, the name of which is stored in another variable.
How would I write something like "NextToDisappear.alpha = 0;" and have it interpreted as "MC4.alpha = 0" instead of giving an error message complaining that variables don't have alpha properties?
In other words, is there a way to make it interpret a variable as its contents and not as itself when on the left side of an equals sign? Similar to the difference between quotes and no quotes when working with the contents of text variables.

Jan 22, 2008Code:
for (var i:Number = 0; i<numOfItems; i++) {
var t:MovieClip = "item"+i;
t.onRelease = activator;
}
This returns an error saying that there is a type mismatch because "item"+i is a string. It is a string, but it's also the instance name of an MC on the stage.
Let's say I have 30 MC's on the stage named item1, item2, item3, etc. Instead of assigning an onRelease statement to each of these manually I thought I could just run them through a for loop. They are not dynamic clips though, not at this point anyway.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Away3D And Resize Stage - Keep The Globe In The Same Relative Spot With The Graphic Behind It
Dec 10, 2010I made a spinning globe with Away 3D which sits in front of a 2D graphic in a specific spot. The swf is going to exist as part of a web-page. When a user hits "zoom in" or "zoom out" on there browser (looked at FF and IE) and refreshes the page, the 2D graphic is zoomed and stretched. The spinning globe is also magnified, but falls out of position... in this case, down and to the right. I put my original re-jiggering steps to put the globe in place in an onResize() method, called by stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResize);
[Code]....
Even if I wanted the globe to stay dead center on the stage, I don't know how to do this. What kind of calculation do I need to make in my onResize() method? Do I move the view or do I need to move something else? Can someone explain what is happening to the viewport or the camera when the stage is resized?
