IDE :: EmptyMovieClip / Stage Position?
Aug 21, 2009
I'm having a heck of a time getting my movie clip on the stage postion where I want it (and eventually I'll want 8-10 movie clips running on different stage locations at the same time.) I've tried numerous scripts methods, this is the last one and it's still not moving out of 0 position:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("my_mc", 1);
my_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",2);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl.loadClip("textgauge1.swf", my_mc.container_mc),{x_:371.6, y_:76};

I have a sprite that I zoom out using the sprite.z property. Once the z property has been modified the sprite x and Y values do not match the stage x and y real value. So far so good and what I was expecting!
What I want to accomplish is that when the user clicks the stage the sprite tweens to where the mouse was clicked but I don't know what x and y position to send to the sprite. ( since stage 200,200 is something like 400,400 for the sprite depending on z value)
I tried Utils3D.projectVector using Matrix3D of the perspectiveProjection of the stage without success. (i.e. I get Vector3D(Infinity, Infinity, NaN))
I could fallback to scalex/scaley but sprites.z gives me the correct scale, perspective projection, paralax scrolling since I have sprites on different z level all for free. I would have to recode all that.

lets say i have a sprite on the stage and one movieclip inside it. now i want to tween or just set that movieclip x and/or y position according to stage position. so for example i want to set mc.y = - 100; (by which i mean -100 to stage, not sprite which mc is in.)

I have a stage bigger than the size of a browser, and I have a camera to navigate around the area.Now when I click on a button, I will have something pop up blocking the whole browser, like a lightbox effect with another box on top of the blocker.The problem now is, when the blocker pops up, its position is not on the TOP LEFT corner of the browser. I've tried stage.align, but it would makes the camera or other object on stage position run.So is there any other way I could get the blocker to position according to the browser, not the stage?[code]

I did a search but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm loading an external jpg into an emptyMovieClip (AS1) on the _root timeline and I want to implement a preloader so when the jpg loads it fades in, not show up abruptly.
Here's my code:
Code:
// Load an external Image
function loadImage(imageFile) {
var imageFile;

I have 9 MC on stage with an instance of S1 to S9.
what I am try to do is position each clip beside each other on the x coordinate.
in AS2 it would be something like this
Code:
for (var d:Number = 0; d<9; d++) {
this["S"+d]._x = this["S"+d]._x -this["S"+d]._width/2
}

When I create a new mc:
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
and try to attach one into it:

Even when I give the "container" content with [.lineTo()], nothing continious to happen.
I guess it has something to do with the 'emptyness' of the mc, but how to solve?

I have a function that I am creating. It basically grows a line from point a to point bRather that work with specific points and all in actionscript, I was hoping to drop down some movieclips to be used as waypoints. When the movie starts those mc locations are translated into variables and the mc is removed.

My problem is that I cant figure out how to draw my movieclip if I dynamicly name it.
However If I address it by using its actual name it works fine.
I have included both working and non-working code.[code]....

when you create an empty movie clip, the registration point is 0,0 as default, I read you can change this by defining the X&Y but my movie Clip's position is defined by stage width and height.Is there another way to define the registration point~?

I'm trying to create a scroller menu. The container movieclip will hold several copies of a clip in the library. So I'm trying to create the clip dynamically since it's width will be varying depending on the number of elements it contains.
But when I try to use the attachMovie method on my newly created empty movieclip, nothing shows up! The test_mc will attach if I just say _root.attachMovie, so I don't know if it's a path issue or if emptyMovieClips can't have other clips attached or what.
var emptyClip:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("empty_mc", 9);
emptyClip._x = Stage.width / 2;
emptyClip._y = Stage.height / 2;
emptyClip._width = 300;
emptyClip._height = 300;
emptyClip.attachMovie("test_mc", "test_mc", 20);

I have 3 picture slideshows usings XML, the pictures will be changing form time to time that's why i needed it like this.Every slideshow is inside a folder, ej: gal1, gal2, gal3.In every folder i have the images, the flash file (gallery.swf) and the xml file.I have the main movie in wich i have a container where most data shows... and in wich i made an emptymovieclip, called "galMC" (now i know i could have used createEmptymovieclip, but maybe next time)[code]I have tried various methods but i always end up unloading "galMC"...the problme i think is that if i reload the container and click on another slideshow (gal2 or gal3), i see only the first image of the selected slideshow and then and then it starts showing the first slideshow that was loaded, so i guess i need to really UNLOAD that slideshow to load another and this is not hapenning.

I have built a site in AS2 and would like to know the position of a ball so that I can move a sign to it always.The whole website is in AS2, but I think I have written an incomplete code below for AS3. I need it for AS2 because the whole site is in AS2. The get position of ball is wrong, but I just wanted to throw in some ideas eg.
Code:
// get position of ball
ball_mc.addEventListener(<what goes here?>, ball_pos);
function signMove(Event:MouseEvent):void{[code]..........

im working on a slider that i want to position to the stage according to the _ymouse. Here's the problem. I'm using some code that i really like because of the ease on it. But i'm having problems getting it to position where i want it and control it so that the top and bottom of the clip refers to the stage...if that makes any sense. I did not write the code, but i've changed it so that its vertical as you'll see. Everything "works" except aligning it to the stage according to _ymouse
