Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Tween The Width Of Object Without Moving The Object?
Feb 23, 2012
I am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.

Im working on a small project and it involves a guy which you move with the arrow keys. The arrow keys add to his x, y velocities and his position is updated accordingly. How can i get this man to grab onto an object and spin around it (like when you grab pole and letting your momentum swing you around) . I can make him grab the object but I dont know how to modify his x,y speeds to simulate the arc.

I'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline).
Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA();
var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB();
objectA.addChild(objectB);
addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?

Is there a way to return the target of a Tween object from within the object?
Code:
myTween.onMotionFinished = function (){
trace (this.target)
}
That's obviously not the way you do it, but that's what I want it to be...

If I create a rectangle with 100px width and 100px height and then rotate it, the size of the element's "box" will have increased.With 45 rotation, the size becomes about 143x143 (from 100x100).Doing sometimes like cos(angleRad) * currentWidth seems to work for 45 rotation, but for other bigger angles it doesn't.At the moment I am doing this:
var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
var normalizedWidth = object.width;

Can I use ems for the width tag when embedding a flash object?
I've done some googling and it looks like it's just pixels and percentages but I want to double check with the stack overflow community.

I came across a problem where my flash timer keeps changing position as the browser window is resized or if the user scrolls down the page the timer will move with it?It also changes position on different monitor screens.Is there an easy way without too much code to position it at a certain position on my page :[URL]As you can see its too low and should be in line with 'Comming soon'Im also using Dreamweaver if that makes a difference.

I have very little knowledge of ActionScript. I have a movie clip. I want it to move along the x-axis when i press down on a button(button or movie clip) I do not know what code to use as it needs to be Action Script 2. Is there a Tutorial or something that can accomplish this? I have found a tutorial that moves the object around when you press a button. I am trying to get the same effect when you click down on a button: [URL] UPDATE The button is called btn and the object that moves is mctransparent I have managed the folowing:

i have a character_mc that moves on mouse click, a logtxt dyanamic text box and a mc named $box. The camera follows the character and when the log and $ boxes are staying put.
I want them to stay on the same point on the stage(meaning I want them to stay at the same place on the camera) I was wondering what i might do for this? I have tried to put them in a movie clip but it doesn't really seam like it worked well so i discarded the idea.
Heres the code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I thought this would be straight forward but I'm having trouble repositioning my content. I have a button instance named rollOne, When I roll over the button I want to load an swf object but not on top of the button so I want to find out what the button's width is so I can reposition the dynamically loaded content. I thought rollOne.width would return the width, but it only returns 0 the same goes for height.
rollOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fetchQty);
function fetchQty(event:MouseEvent):void {
myContainer.x = (rollOne.x + rollOne.width);
myContainer.y = (rollOne.y + rollOne.height);
var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("8032697883620.swf");
var img1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
img1Loader.load(img1Request);
myContainer.addChild(img1Loader);
trace(rollOne.width);
}

Can I move a Flash object within the DOM without it reloading? I am developing a simple video chat application. Whenever I move a flash object within the dom tree, it resets itself. I have multiple streams which are aligned horizontally. Every stream is a different flash object. When someone enlarges a single Flash object, I need to move it to the top.
Whenever I move it to the top, that particular video resets itself, and you wait for a couple of second to get the stream back. I am currently simply prepending the same list item to the same parent. This is a very important feature and any kind of solution which doesn't require flash to reset itself is acceptable. (Except creating a parent flash container which has all the streams within it.)

I have a movieclip moving on a path by means of a tween. At the starting point a (virtual) line on the movieclip is tangent to the path. Is there an easy way to automagically rotate the movieclip such that this line remains tangent to the path throughout the tween?

I have a ball moving around the screen, position updated on ENTER_FRAME. My problem is that there is a considerable amount of flicker going on. I have thought about using something like TweenLite to move the ball but as the position is being updated frame-to-frame I don't think that will work.[code]...

I have an object called point that I can move around the screen with my mouse. This object has a vector mapped through it (_v1) using the center of the stage and "point"s x,y location in order to draw the vector (note all of this is working fine). My problem is occurring when I set up was a button that simply sets a value to true if you press it. The idea behind this button is that when pressed, whatever location "point" is at, it will move 1 degree clockwise in a circle around the center of the stage (this is all happening in the frameHandler so I can keep clicking the button to make it continue around the stage).
The code I am using is based in an if statement listed below:
if(clockwisePressed) {
var v1angle:Number = _v1.angle;
v1angle++; //increase the angle by 1 degree
if(v1angle>180) {
v1angle -= 360; }
[Code] .....
So what is happening here is that clockwisePressed has been set to true so this fires off. My vector (_v1) is set up to tell me the angle (already converted from radians to degrees) but it's a read-only value. So I assign it (_v1.angle) to v1angle so I can mess with it and increase it by 1 so I'm moving clockwise around the center of the stage. Then I just check to make sure that it falls into a range between -180 and 180 (if I trace _v1.angle around the stage, 0 degrees is to the left, 90 degrees is straight up, 180 degrees is to the right, and -90 is straight down). Now using the formula I derived from this thread but converted to work with 0 degrees pointing to the left and the value for Y going up the further down the stage you go, I came up with
x = centerX - radius * cos(angle)
y = centerY - radius * sin(angle)
Now when I make a sample chart on paper and use these values on my calculator, this works like a charm. If I plug in an angle, the radius, and center I get a point right on my circle I draw on a sheet of graph paper. However, when I actually try this in flash, the "point" jumps all over the stage. (Note that _v1.m is just the magnitude of the vector between the center of the stage and "point" which is the same as the radius). So I trace everything and the values for cos and sin don't seem to be coming out right. For example, if my angle is -1.9581 and I take the cos of that on my calculator I get something along the lines of 0.9994 but flash traces Math.cos(angle) to be -0.3777. Isn't using Math.cos(-1.9581) the same as putting -1.9581 into your calculator and hitting cos?
Below is the corrected code that works:
if(clockwisePressed) {
var v1RadAngle:Number = Math.atan2(_v1.vy, _v1.vx); //get angle in radians
v1RadAngle += 0.0174; //increase the angle by ~1 degree more or less
//Now just move the crosshair and get it ready to be redrawn
point.x = centerX - _v1.m * Math.cos(v1RadAngle); //_v1.m = radius
point.y = centerY - _v1.m * Math.sin(v1RadAngle);
clockwisePressed = false; //remove button pressed boolean
}

I am making a flash animation and what I want is to have different movieclips animating over the screen and randomly changing colors. The animation is not the problem but the color changing.
i got this so far:
Code:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000); // 1 second
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, runMany);
myTimer.start();
[Code]...
Every second ALL my objects change color. But there are some movieclips that must stay the same color. So i changed the this inside the code above to some movieclip. If i tried that again, the animation of that movieclip stopt after it changed 1 time to another color.
Does any one know how i can solve this? so that the color of the movieclips will randomly change after 1 second AND the movieclips keeps their animation?

I have encountered an interesting situation, I would like to simulate a ball thrown by a goalkeeper from top. Ball is going to move from right to left, it is small at the beginning, getting bigger at the half, because it gains height, and small again at the end. The scenario is this. And I do not want to use any actionscript code because of the performance loss caused by the event listeners.
How can I simulate two different kinds of tween (horizontal move is without ease and vertical move is with easeOut and easeIn) in the design environment of Flash cs5.5
By the way, I have already tried using actionscript code however, because there so many concurrent event, a little lag is occured at the beginning of each tween start.

I'm developing a flash application. I am looking for a simple way to animate my camera's movement. Is there any built in tweening library that supports the camera object? I've checked out greensock.com, but I couldn't figure out how to use their libraries for the camera object.
EDIT: by camera I mean the viewing perception. Not a real hard drive web camera.

i'm using the an actionscript for random movement that i found here... [URL] but my problem is that i need the object to flip horizontally depending on the direction it is moving... the object that is moving around is a bug, and i need it to face left if it's moving left or face right if it's moving right.

I made a little flash presentation where a bulb increases in brightness as the mouse goes over it and decreases as the mouse goes out. I set up the object on the stage and created a motion tween equal to 30 frames in which the object starts dull and increases in brightness. To control it, I made this little script:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, startScan);
mcBulbLit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, startShow);
function startShow(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(31);
} function startScan(event:Event):void {
[Code] .....
For some reason the bulb only goes back one frame and then stops at that frame.

So I have this Photo class than handles loading a pic, and dispatches an event when the loading is done with:[code]which is simple and works, but now I'd like to make something more advanced. I'd like to dispatch the load ratio.So far I have extended the Event class, with my own EventRatio class, and I can put properties on that class. Which is cool, but I need something more dynamic than just sending a fixed value.So, what is the best way to connect the Loader object of the Photo object, with the EventRatio object?

I need some AS2 actionscript that I can place on a button to move it to the front on rollover. and move it to the back on rollout.I have two identical buttons on a layer in my timeline. When you roll over a button a larger text box appears ontop of it. The text box is the rollover state on the button, which is a button symbol. This works great in itself, but the problem is that the buttons are place close together and when one button gets rolled over and the text box encroaches on the other button's space. I always want the text box and button you are rolling over to appear in front of the other buttons that are on that layer. But that's not possible, since one button will be in front and one will be behind. Is there some AS2 actionscript that I can place on each of the buttons to move the button you roll over to the front?

I'm new to Flash and just started working on an animated short. In one of the sequences, I realized too late that an object was too far left in the frame and needed to be moved back. Is there a way to do that in all of the keyframes at once rather than doing it one at a time? The thing that needs to be moved is a .png file, not a symbol.
