I am trying to read data from a XML and then create a match-them kind of game where one set of choices are listed one on top of other and another set is on a row above them one after the other with the text aligned vertically.I have the whole thing working out perfectly but the only problem is that I am not able to display the text vertically. I did some searching and turns out that Dynamic and Input Text boxes can not display vertically oriented texts. I thought about creating static textfields at run time but couldn't find an option to vertically orient the text in the formatting options.I tried rotating the movieclips after the textfields have been created but as soon as the clips are rotated, the text disappears.
View 4 RepliesI have an attached movieclip that duplicates boxes vertically. All the boxes are different heights, because I've scripted it to adjust with the amount of xml text contained inside these boxes.
How do I get these boxes to line up right without overlapping eachother?

I'm having some issues aligning the header text of a datagrid. I'm using an embed font for the header text, and when applying the css, the header text behaves as if I'd set the text vertical align to top. I'm trying to vertically center the text, but haven't found a way to make it work.
View 1 RepliesUsing a bunch of the tutorials on this great site, I've been teaching myself AS, and inparticular the XML parse, etc. with the loop commands to load an ideterminate number of images, etc. attributed in an XML file.I've got the attached code to work before - and it works well here too, loading all the thumbnails in their correct location, and as per the XML file. BUT now it's part of this page, the 'current_thumb' seems stuck on the last thumbnail, and a rollOver of any thumbnail will cause only the last one to action. In addition, when I put the trace command in on the onRollOut function (trace(current_thumb_mc) I get "_level0.menu_mc.item3_mc" no matter which of the four tumbnails I rollOver.

p = 0;

at the moment the menu buttons, called 'menu Items+ Number' I would like to replace this with thumb nail images and a little text description on the left side of the image. I am new to AS3 and really have no idea where to start with this.would someone beable to guide me through attaching an xml file with the script to the menu and then adding thumb nail images.I can not upload file example as to large but you can download the original menu from the above link.

My code above works absolutely fine, until i resize my browser window to a size below 800px width. When the browser window is make of lesser width than 800px, the canvas with background color #A8A8A8 is on the right of the window, but the problem is, when I move the scroll bar, the canvas should remain on the right of the window. Which does not happen, and that is what my problem is.
How can I solve this issue. What should I do to keep my canvas be on the right=0 all the time.

View 5 RepliesI just migrated from CS3 to CS4 I have a set of navigation buttons which are in text now. I need the first left word to be at 100 align left and the last text word to be at 800 align right there are 3 other buttons in the middle. How in the world do I align all these with keeping the far left word and far right words where against their lines and keeping the spacing inbetween all the same? I tried this with keeping the text as text and using the align tools, paragraph tools then converting all the text to an mc and still can't get it right. I pic of what I need to do is in the attached.

View 2 Replies[URL]The black square is "square_mc", it's X/Y is at its center/center point.The blue circles are all inside a clip called "circles_mc", it's X/Y center is NOT at its center/center of the circles -- in fact, it could be 100 or 200 or 300 pixels to the left, right, top or bottom of where the blue circles are within it.
I need to align and scale the circles_mc over the square_mc to fit within the edges of the square_mc. But I can't use the circles_mc X/Y information to position it.How do you do that? I can get the scaling right, but I don't know how to align them one over the other as I described.
I have a movie clip (menu2_mc) containing a navigation menu, which I want to have appear always on the middle of the screen and at the bottom say 15 pixels in even when the window is resized.I followed a tut by kevin schmitt which allows the background to be fullscreen on a resize. I have been able to center the clip on screen but still having problems nutting out how to change the y coordinates on a screen resize.

I am aligning my display objects in the middle. stage.stageWidth/2. for some reason, they are aligning further off to the right of the screen. I haven't altered anything but the stage width in flash. Has anyone heard of this problem? Again, I haven't done anything except widen the screen and adjust the height.
My focus point on the display object is top left. So it aligns perfectly when set to 0,0
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.stageWidth = 300;

So i'm trying to align a navigation to the bottom of the browser.
and this is whats happening...The NAV clip is aligning to something, but it's not working right. I want it to be 25 pixels from the bottom at all times, no matter what size the browser is...
Here is the code and the .fla
Code:
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var myListener:Object = new Object();
[Code].....
I'm using this code for aligning a navigation to the bottom of my browser.
Code:
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
[Code]....
The problem that i'm having is that when the timeline gets to the point where the slider is used the fscommand("allowscale", false); takes over the original fscommand used for the nav. I need to use both, as the slider only seems to work properly with that code, and likewise with the bottom aligned navigation.
How can i get around this? I want to align my navigation to the bottom of the browser at all times, yet have my slider be relevant to the browser when it's being used.
Is there another way to align the nav to the bottom of the browser? Maybe and onEnterframe();?
i have a working clip of for aligning to bottom right corner of of stage, and i want it to be loaded in from another swf... swf loads fine etc, just when it loads it the MC in question does not move at all?
Code:
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var presenter:MovieClip;
[Code].....
is this for aligning the output.TOP_CENTER , never works?
View 1 RepliesI have multiple line charts in Flex Charting (3.x). The charts (and number of charts) are being dynamically generated, and are either of "type A" or "type B." The type of data on the Y-axis is different for type A then it is for type B. The x-axis is time.
Each chart is placed in its own VBox (with a few other things) that make up a larger canvas of the Type A or Type B. This VBox is given an absolute X position. It is very high priority that the different charts line up, so that comparisons (in time) can be made.
What ends up happening is that the vertical axis for some charts takes up more width then others, so the charts are no longer aligned in time.
is it possible to align the stroke of a graphic with actionscript? for example, the following code creates a black rounded rect with a grey stroke that is automatically centre aligned.
var t:Sprite = new Sprite();
t.graphics.lineStyle(5, 0x555555);
t.graphics.beginFill(0, 1);
t.graphics.drawRoundRect(25, 25, 200, 75, 25, 25);
t.graphics.endFill();
the lineStyle function doesn't seem to offer any built-in functionality for aligning the stroke. in Adobe Illustrator, you can align a stroke to be either centre (half in/half out of the fill), inside (bordering within the fill) or outside. (bordering outside the fill).
I want to accomplish the same thing with code that Flash's Align - Align Bottom Edge button does within the IDE. I have a series of move clips of different heights which are all added to the stage dynamically via XML. When they are all added, I want to then align them - does flash provide a method for doing this with code? Or is the only way to do it to detect their heights and adjust them by the height difference?
View 2 RepliesI have some input text boxes on a form. The text within those boxes is appearing in the top left, so looks kind of stupid. I thought this would be easy to correct by moving the text away from the edges with some coordinates something like in the following:[code]Unfortunately myTextBox.text is a string so won't allow x and y values to be applied to it. Can anyone tell me how I can use actionscript to move the text around within the Input text box?
View 3 RepliesI'm sure that many of you already saw things like this ( eg: when winning at FWA S.O.T.D., you get a little "logo" and many sites have it aligned in the upper left corner), so this is what i want to do, let us say i make a MovieClip ( dimensions doesn't matter, but it's quite small ), and i want to align it to the upper left corner of the stage... The thing is that the movie/stage is set to auto-scale, so whenever i scale the browser window then that MC should "refresh" its position and stai at the upper left corner again.
