Alignment Tool - How To Set Reference Object

Jan 1, 2010

I am new to Flash but have used Illustrator and InDesign for years. How to set the reference object by which all other objects are aligned; e.g. Illustrator ->select all objects then a second click on the reference object and all other objects take their cue. InDesign you lock the reference object and that determines the rest. In Flash it seems that either both objects move or the one that I wish to remain in position jumps rather than the other way around.

Drawing Tool - How To Add Stroke To Object

Apr 16, 2009

I'm having a hard time with strokes. First I selected a stroke and the properties panel would not let me change it's thickness. How to add a stroke to an object. We used to have a tool that allowed us to apply a stroke to an object. That is gone now. How we attach a line to an object now?? It looks like Adobe has changed Flash CS4 to be more like Photoshop. It is about as intuitive as a tax form.

But the Alert window is completely empty. What am I doing wrong ?

I guess the keyword "this" is referencing the application instead of the LinkButton, right ?How can I reference the LinkButton itself, without having to add an ID to all my linkButtons?

Actionscript 3 :: Get An XML Object Reference Instead Of Value In It?

Nov 4, 2010

I need to get a pointer to a piece of XML. I can get a pointer to the parent node and everything works but trying to get a pointer to a node that has no children just returns the value of that node.[code]...

Tracing subNode would be just the value and there is no pointer to the original xml object, so editing the subNode var would only change its value, not the one in the original XML object.

How do I get a pointer to the subNode so it can be edited to change the original xml object?

Flex :: Object Reference Through Variable Value?

Dec 29, 2011

Is it possible to reference an object using a variable value?

For example, I have a function that is supposed to hide an image and add that image to an inventory list when the item is clicked.

All the image info is stored in an object (name, imgSource, visible, x, y);

I was thinking I could do something like this:

<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public var item:Object = new Object();

[Code].....

I want "item" to stand for knife so that I could change knife.visible, knife.xPos, ect.

theClip.track.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
function onLoadProgress (erogressEvent):void {

How do I reference the movieClip the sound is a child of? e.target refers to the sound object; e.target.parent returns an error. And you can't assign properties to sound objects.

My movieclips are being nulled when moving between scenes, they are created on the stage and accessed through as3. I have login screen with three button, one logout, one exits the system and the other takes them to the next scene. When going back to the login scene, and trying to access movieclips like add eventlisterners etc... it comes back with null object reference, claiming that my buttons which are on the stage are null and sure enough if I debug they are. Any reason why my movieclips are being made null when moving between scenes?
