ActionScript 3 :: CreationComplete Event Does Not Show Correct Height / Width
Apr 27, 2011
I have an issue where using MXML, the height and width properties of myBox is correctly acquired but using ActionScript the correct height and width acquired is not correct.
my:Tab extends NavigatorContent (This is NOT the tab in a Tab Bar)
com:myBox extends BorderContainer.
<mx:ViewStack id="viewstack_main" width="100%" height="100%" creationPolicy="all">
<my:Tab label="My Tab">
<s:Scroller height="100%" width="100%">
[Code] .....
In the constructor of myBox I set the percentWidth and percentHeight to both 100. In the creationComplete event of the same myBox, I need to access the height and width. This works all ok with the MXML. However using ActionScript I need to add another tab.
var navContainer:Tab = new Tab();
viewstack_main.addElement(navContainer);
var scroller:Scroller = new Scroller();
scroller.percentHeight = 100;
scroller.percentWidth = 100;
[Code] .....
But unfortunately, in the creationComplete event of box, the height and width properties are NOT what is expected (the height & width after setting 100%). It is 112. Why this works with MXML but NOT ActionScript?

My Stage size is 126*62. (it's a small animation).- When I publish the .SWF, no problem.- When I publish a projector .EXE file for windows, then, the width is still correct, but the height is higher than 62 : I got two small white bands beside top and bottom of my stage,see ?I don't understand why there's such a difference between publishing a SWF or EXE. And I'm afraid this also happens whatever the Stage size is (small or big, I mean) : you always get these blank bands on the top and the bottom, don't you ?

I have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .
I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.

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 would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?

I am using the new Flex4 Spark stuff but I'm stuck at an awful problem. Let me explain a bit of the situation first. I have a container (mx:Canvas) in which I do addElement() of one type instances (DocumentWindow). The document window class is supposed to be the holder for a view according to the type of the document. The DocumentWindow class extends TitleWindow. I also have a task bar which is a mx:Canvas with buttonBar inside so that the windows should be switchable. So in 2 words I got windows holder and a taskbar. The strange thing comes now: When I put a DocumentWindow with type "doc" (which loads swf made by swftools) the window appears in the windows holder and as task on the taskbar.
But if first I open something else - DocumentWindow with type audio or video which causes the DocumentWindow to instantiate different view inside, the window doesn't appear on the screen neither a task button is being shown in the taskBar. I put a trace() on that and it shows that numElements is increasing, the taskBar ButtonBar.dataProvider.length is increased, so the things are there - just that they stay invisible until I open DocumentWindow with type 'doc'? I even tried to make DocumentWindow not to load the view inside because I thought that the only difference is the view... but then even the 'doc' typed DocumentWindow didn't show. A clue may be that creationComplete is never called until a 'doc' view is added.

I am looking at the SimpleButton entirely wrong. Here's what I'm doing (inside of a MovieClip):
[Code]...
the close_btn.width and height remain 0. Am I supposed to just rely on the DisplayObject members of the SimpleButton completely and ignore width/height/x/y or what?

I'm building a class for a data grid that creates everything dynamically, and allows the user to add buttons to a cell easily. If the user defines a height for the dataGrid that's smaller than the content, the content is cropped and a scrollbar is added. Now here's where my problem occurs. Once the content is masked, and you then try to access the .height property of the dataGrid, it will return the height of the dataGrid + the masked content.So I added a get/set override function for the .height property. Now this works, but only if I'm constantly updating the height as I create my dataGrid. What I'm curious about, is how (when the properties aren't overridden) when you add a child to a MovieClip, it's .height property is updated automatically? For example if you have
ActionScript Code:
var par:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
// each Cell is 20px tall.
var cell1:Cell = new Cell();
var cell2:Cell = new Cell();
par.addChild(cell1);
par.addChild(cell2);
trace(par.height);
The .height will equal 40px. Is there a set somewhere inside addChild that updates the .height property, or is there a different way that they do it? Basically I'd like to override the .height property after a certain amount of the dataGrid is built (to compensate for the difference in masked content height), but since the override happens from the very beginning, I'd like to know if there's a better way of setting my MCs height rather than constantly setting it as I build the grid. Or better yet, is there a way to get the proper height of an object that contains masked content without having to override the height?

I have some items in my library that are all identical. When I place them on the stage, I can see that they are identical width.
When I do a:
trace(mybuttonone.width);
trace(mybuttontwo.width);
trace(mybuttonthree.width);
It traces a different width for each. How do I get it to tell me "real" width instead of some made up number?

I have a Flex Spark dropdownList in which I need to show the Provider FirstName,LastName:
<s:DropDownList id="providerList"
dataProvider="{model.practiceProviderList.practiceProviders}"
labelField="provider.providerName.firstName"/>
But the output shows only [object Object] & [object Object] as there are 2 providers in the DB and does not show the actual values.
The PracticeProviderList.as:
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="model.PracticeProviderList")]
public class PracticeProviderList extends PracticeProviderListBase {
[Code]....
The Provider has providerName:PersonName as one of it's fields & PersonName has firstName:String & lastName:String

I have a flash banner graphic that I created at 1000px wide by 420px tall. I want this to be fluid and fill the browser width, so that when the browser is rescaled the swf fills the horizontal space. My problem is that there is content below it that needs to touch it, but the height is trying to fill 100% so it is creating vertical space between the flash content and the div below it.
I guess a better way to describe it is that I don't want to define the height I just want the width to be 100%. At 100% height there is unused space so I need to make the height maybe undefined or something smaller then 100%?Also, if you make the browser too small vertically the width will not fill. So I want 100% width regardless of the browser height.

How do I set the width and height of my swf in AS3?
This is my code so far:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Game extends Sprite {
}
}
Right now, when loaded it is at some arbitrary default size.
If I can't change the size this way, is there any easy work around that will be consistent?

I'm trying to change the position of a movieclip I've added to the stage. When I try to access stage.width or stage.height I get 0. I've tried MovieClip(root).stage, DisplayObject(root).stage, root.stage, stage, and simply width and height. All of these are equal to zero.

I want to write a shell that creates instances of an app and scales it down for animating. Well, I created my shell class and instanced the app and set scales for x and y and then I traced the height and width because I wasn't sure what they'd be. I thought they'd be based on the stuff on the stage or whatever, but they both came up zero. So I'm not sure how that works, am I supposed to have set those values?

I have two Canvas A and B, A is the child of B.A can be resized by some user actions like adding some UI components to its base.A is bounded by an other Parent canvas B which should show scolling handles if its child A gets too large.I would like A to have the same width and height of B (or really close) while the calculated width and height of A is smaller than those of B.If w or h of A get larger than those of B then A should grow and B will show scrolling.

I'm a student for design and want to build myself a portfolio, showing pictures and being able to jump between fit_to_screen mode to actual_pixel_size mode. The following code is just the beginning.
I've wrote the code mixing some tutorials (sorry, but I didn't find a good way to clean it so it'll be more focused) - I'm a really new about action script.
myFile is a mc waiting for an external parameter run_url - a string contains something like "/projects/illustration/alice_in_wonderland.jpg"
You can see the trace command marked as red. I'd expect it to give me a number of the movie clip's width, yet i get "undefined"
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var streamingID:Number;
var fileLoaded:Boolean;
