I want to dynamically add different items to thumbContent canvas and use scroller canvas to scroll. I see than the height of thumbContent bigger than 7977 it truncate from scrolling. So - I see the scroller canvas with empty space on top. Then I scroll to bottom - I see the content of thumbContent and at bottom scrolling I see empty space too.
I am trying to do an image capture while in full screen, however the full image area is only partially captured, or the coordinates are off. In the source files you will see a few of my attempts commented off.

As part of requirements for a new feature of "locking" a page, it is desired to have all elements on a locked page be non-selectable. This is not to be confused with disabled. All elements should appear as if the page were active, but not be selectable.The current thought is to create a clear canvas and place it over the existing elements. With this thought, I have two questions:if you can think of a better way to make all items non-selectable than applying a clear canvas element over the existing elements could you describe it?if not, what is the best way to retrofit existing implementations to accept the overlayed canvas item? BTW, all .mxml pages inherit from a custom .as file.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to develeop a Graph Structure with drag and drop features in Flex. I have to connect various components/children on the canvas. Once i drag n drop the components on the canvas, i am using SystemManager event handlers to draw connectors between the components. But, as i click on one component and drag the mouse, the line is drawn on the canvas as long as my mouse stays only on the canvas. If the mouse moves over a component/child(that has been dragged and dropped onto the canvas), the line is drawn to the origin of the canvas from the first clicked component. How shud i recognize the component when i move my mouse over the component? I want the line to be drawn connecting the components once my mouseup event is called.
View 3 RepliesI have Flash 8. I created a Flash movie a number of years ago, probably in an early version of Flash. I use it on my website. I want to redesign my site and make the movie smaller from the standpoint of making the canvas/stage size smaller. I don't mean just compressing the flash movie to a smaller swf. Is there some quick way to do this without having to recreate the movie and put in smaller elements?
View 3 RepliesI generate panels dynamically and put them in other states in that way so in one state you have a list of panels on the left and one big panel on the right for example in one state and when you click on the list on the left (with small panels) that panels takes the places of the big panel and the big one goes back in the place. So I have 50 panels on the left and i want to scroll them down but I don't want to big panel to go down with them I want it fixed. this is where I got and I don't know how to do that here is my code:

View 2 RepliesI'm new to Flex, but been working with AS 3.0 and Flash for many years. I'm trying to loop through a variable and based on the supplied information your the particular record, generate a canvas (and note: I'm using a Canvas as my movieclips in Flex). The new canvas (MC) will contain many other items within.
Any I'm wishing I was purely in Flash or can Flex do what I'm trying to ask it to do. I've searched high and low without find any results on creating a canvas component at runtime.
If the size of canvas set in the MXML markup, some part of the components that go beyond the boundaries of canvas not displayed. If the canvas size to change dynamically(canvas.width, canvas.height), canvas boundaries are virtually absent. How to dynamically change the size of the Canvas?
View 2 RepliesI've a custom component where I do some graphics (e.g draw a line) and dynamically add a subcomponent (e.g a label) to it.
If I base the component off Group (which is recommended as per docs since its a spark component) then when I dynamically add a label the graphics part disappears.
However if I base it off Canvas this doesn't happen.
Why is that the case?
Here is the code.
MyComponent.as
public class MyComponent extends Group

I am building a pretty basic app which pulls data from an XML file and displays it on my site. It's basically for displaying reviews of other sites so each record has a title, image, description, rating and URL field.I have got as far as being able to display one record at a time, however I would like to dynamically add new placeholders depending on how many reviews there are for a given category.In Flex you can do this with I think it is called the repeater component. However I am not sure the best way to achieve this in flash? So to summarize I guess I am looking for a way to dynamically add new elements to the stage for each record in my external XML file for a given category.

How to dynamically add wmode="opaque" to already displaying embed elements? Without reloading the elements, the embedded content should not lose its state.
Just setting the wmode attribute with javascript doesn't work.
Removing the element and then adding it again makes wmode take effect, but the flash element loses its state, among other problems. E.g if it's a video player its position/playback status resets. So that solution is no good.
Any other way of displaying content over the embedded element is acceptable as well.
(I'm doing this trough a content script in a Chrome extension if that is of any help.)
This is not a duplicated of How to dynamically add wmode=transparent to Youtube embed code? as there the parameter is added to a frame and not directly to the element it self.

Is it possible to change the Bitmap size Dynamically in As3..Which is created from the movieClip .
var myBitmapData:BitmapData=new BitmapData(450,282);

Trying to set the smoothing of a dynamically loaded, through XML, JPEG set to true using AS2. I've seen an example of that would do this with this code:
createEmptyMovieClip("myMC",getNextHighestDepth()) ;
loadBitmapSmoothed("mypic.jpg",myMC);
In my code I'm loading a series of products from an XML file. Each bit of information for each product gets loaded into a seprate array. I have a 'zoomy box' image, which loads an image, but at 200%, which I want to smooth...
The code:
nZoompic1[i] = (childs.childNodes[EEE].childNodes[i].childNodes[18].firstChild.nodeValue);
What the syntax would be for getting it to work?
How to convert a bitmap into a movieclip through AS3?
And I don't mean attaching the bitmap to a movieclip via addChild() but rather making the actual bitmap a movie clip so it can behave like a button (be clickable, draggable, etc...)
I've tried a bunch of options but can't seem to smooth a dynamically loaded bitmap from another domain. I've come to believe this is impossible without a cross domain file. Is it possible or not possible?
I keep getting:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: LoaderInfo.content: http://....swf cannot access http://...png. No policy files granted access.

So outside of putting a crossdomain.xml file out there, any options?
I have a Flash button which has a bitmap image. I want to load this bitmap image dynamically.
I was thinking ...

However, it do not let me put actionscript 2 in frame 1 of buttons.
I am trying to load images dynamically to my stage. I am reading an xml file and trying to add the images0 to the scene. For some reason the image file seems to be loaded (I have put a trace "Success to check it") but when I try to addChild nothing happens. This is the code of my class followed by the code of my flash file: The main idea here is to load as many thumbnails as the xml file contains so I can play with them making a horizontal scroll.
View 12 RepliesBasically I want to go to frame2 when the cursor leaves the canvas. The code below contains no errors when tested but it still does not work.
[Code]...
We know that the function gotoAndStop(frame2); works in multiple situations which means the first 3 line is fine. I don't know if the problem is the MOUSE_LEAVE event or this.stage which i suppose is the identifier for the canvas. I sure that there must be an alternative code for the identifier this.stage or the whole code. Any solution on how to fire the given function in the event when the cursor leaves the canvas?
Is it generally to position elements relative to other elements or in absolute values?
