AS3 :: ComboBox Set Visible To False Doesn't Hide
Apr 1, 2010I have a combobox in a view that receives information about application state changes, and then is supposed to show or hide it's children based on the whole application state. It receives state change messages, it traces the correct values, it does what it's supposed to do, however, it just doesn't seem to work. Essentially, all it needs to do is hide a combobox during one state, and show it again during another state.[code]

View 2 RepliesFlash :: Rotating Sprite Moves The Sprite From It's Original Location
Jul 6, 2011I'm doing a simple rotation on a sprite but there's a weird behavior where the sprite does not rotate around it's top left. I think I'm rotating along the top left of the test class instead of the sprite child. I would like to rotate the rectangle around it's top left corner (kinda like a clock hand). The code is pretty short so I'll let the code + pictures explain my problem:

I've read a lot of stuff about rotating around a fixed point, I've tried doing it with movieclips instead of sprites, I even copy pasted a tutorial on rotation and nothing works.

Actionscript 3 :: Class Extending Sprite - Set The Sprite's Width And Height Properties?
Mar 5, 2010I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.

Then the numericStepper is drawn as if it is squished to 20% its normal height. If I pre-set mySprite width and height before adding the numericstepper, the trace output is 0,0 after adding it and it is not displayed at all. Is there some way I can make the sprite only adjust to correctly fit the numericStepper OR resize it afterwards without distorting the numericStepper component?

Feb 3, 2010Everytime I google this question I see confusing information about masks and blends, none of which seems to directly apply to what I think should be an easy thing... There are three Sprites involved here...the lowest layer sprite is pretty much a background. I want to overlay a translucent Sprite on top of the background and then I want the third, top-most Sprite to act as a hole, so that the area inside the third Sprite is completely transparent, so that the background sprite is completely visible. How would I go about doing this dynamically (i.e. dynamically drawing the masking sprite and hole using the Actionscript graphics calls)?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Which Sprite Is Another Sprite Over
Feb 5, 2009Ive got a question that feels like it should be easy but I cant figure it out. Suppose I have 2d grid of square sprites on the stage, lets say 20 by 20 (400 sprites). Another sprite moves accross the stage on top of the grid. The moving sprite and the 400 sprites below it share a common parent. So heres the question: How do I find out which of the 400 sprites the moving sprite is currently over? And heres an extra wrinkle: I lied, the sprites are not square they are of differing shapes so I cant do a simple math calculation.
All I can come up with is something like hitTestPoint(), but then I would have to call it 400 times wouldnt I? That is probably the most inefficient way to do things. Is there a function like whatsUnderThisPoint(p : Point) which will return a list of every sprite on the display list that contains p?

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild() - DisplayObject Isn't Visible Immediately
Aug 17, 2011When I add a DisplayObject to a DisplayObjectContainer (e.g. a Sprite to a Sprite) in a function, it seems that the DisplayObject is actually added not immediately, but after finishing the function.
See this example:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
So we have a simple green button, and when it is clicked, there's a red Sprite constructed and added to the stage. But actually the red Sprite isn't visible until the onClick() function has been fully executed.
Why is that and what can I do for the red Sprite to be visible immediately?
Is there some (for the developer invisible) global paint() or update() function, that is not executed until some stack is fully executed or something?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Container To Stay Visible (easy Enough By Setting MouseEnabled Or MouseChildren To False)
Aug 23, 2010Here is what I want:
1) a sprite with a rollover/out tween, going from alpha 0 to 1 on rollover, and back to 0 on rollout (let's call it "containerSprite"). That part is cake.
2) another sprite within the container (let's call it "closeButton"), that goes along for the ride (i.e., its alpha gets tweened along with the container). That's easy enough to do by making it a child of "container". When I say it is "within" the container I mean in terms of x/y.
3) when I move the mouse within containerSprite and onto closeButton, I want the container to stay visible (easy enough by setting mouseEnabled or mouseChildren to false). But I want closeButton to respond to mouseDown events, so I can't set it to mouseEnabled=false, nor can I set containerSprite.mouseChildren=false.
4) there will be several other sprites within the x/y of containerSprite, each with their own rollover/out tween. The catch is, when the mouse is within containerSprite and rolls onto one of them, the alpha of containerSprite SHOULD tween out (unlike when rolling onto closeButton).
For the life of me, I cannot get it all to work. I can get the desired behaviour in (4) easily enough, either by making the other sprites (mouseEnabled) children of containerSprite, or by making them siblings of containerSprite but higher in the display list. But the desired behaviour in (2) and (3) is vexing me: if closeButton is a child of containerSprite then its alpha tweens along with containerSprite (desired), but because it must be mouseEnabled, moving the cursor onto it triggers containerSprite's rollout event (undesired). If instead it is a higher sibling of containerSprite rather than a child, it has the same problem: if it is mouseEnabled, moving onto it counts as a rollOut event for the container. It seems like the solution ought to be easy, and I'm just missing something that is in plain sight.
