I just finished reading and building the Photo Gallery using XML and Flash tutorial.Now i was editing it a bit to my desire, but im having trouble with positioning.My external images are all different sizes, and I would like to align them to the horizontal center of my Flash area.[code]
View 3 RepliesI am really confused on how to keep the parent 'canvas' sprite aligned to the centre of the stage with the 'registration point' changing with it's children being added. I am guessing that some calculation of the initial registration point is needed but I just cant work it out
View 1 RepliesJust a quick one. Using AS3, how would I ensure that a movieClip always stays in the centre of the stage on resize?
View 1 Repliesi've looked at several ways to centre a dynamically loaded image into a movie clip for the purpose of zooming the image once loaded. I am loading multiple images (16 in total) at a time and they are all 360 x 360 in size. So what i want to do is set 180,180 to be the centre of the loaded image.
This sounds easy to me but in practice i'm finding it impossible (although i know it isn't as i've seen similar examples doing this).

How do I center (on stage) a loaded image inside a createEmptyMovieClip ?I've read so many threads...can't make it work

I have a function that I use to load images. I center align the images after loading by using loadClip() and attaching the function that centering to the onLoadInit event. The problem I'm having is that the centering stop working when I upload the flash movie to a webserver. I was also able to replicate this when I Test the movie and then go to View->Simulate Download.
Here is the function in question:
Code:
Select allfunction displayImage( img ) {
// trace('displayImage()');
// lets mave the container invisible before loading the clip
_root.mcLargePhoto.centerPhoto._alpha = 0;
_root.mcLargePhoto.createEmptyMovieClip("centerPhoto",this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
// trace('onLoadInit()');

I have a movieclip that is loaded into a blank MC. I want to align the loaded movieclip (that is loaded into the blank MC) to center on the stage whenever the stage is resized.
View 1 RepliesThis seems like it should be part of the "Adding Thumbnails" - the large images are align to the left when they load. So when you have landscape and portrait orientation images, they should horizontally align to center, not to the left.

View 1 RepliesI have seen a couple of flash movies of late that have a nifty element to them, when the user resizes his window the movie slides to the centre or relative position, rather than snapping.THIS SITE is one example of the effect I mean When you resize your window the text moves gradually to a relative position.How is this done? is it via action scripting or through the html/java?It is a nice little touch, I like it. Do you think if you can dictate the position of certain elements you can dictate the size of elements according to window size?

I have a compass that is rotating depending on the position of the mouse, however it rotates it from the top left of the stage not the movie clip, how to get the AS to recognise the centre of the compass.. Also, I thought a nice touch would be if the compass had a slight "wobble"
i am struggling to work something out here and am hoping that someone on here can put me right...i have a flash movie that uses a liquid type layout (ie all from top left to fill the stage) - part of the movie is a navigation that when clicked slides around the stage to set positions.the problem is that the nav co-ordinates (points it travels to) are all based around top left of the stage, and i need to make it work from the centre of the stage.this is an example of one slide actions on one of the buttons named CLEAR:
PHP Code:
panel.CLEAR.onRelease = function(){

View 2 RepliesI've created an mc which functions as my map and controls to go with that which allow the map to be moved around and key points navigated to and zoomed in on at varying zoom levels.I'm using scaleX and scaleY to scale the map mc and a list of x and y positions to correctly position the map for each key point. The map mc starts at 1:1 scale ratio with the screen and it's registration point is at 0,0.When I want to go to a certain area I perform this calculation (offsetX and offsetY are the center of the screen and posX and posY are predined offsets on the map):[code]
I now need to implement a zoom in / out function and this is what I'm struggling with. The zoom should use the center of the screen as the reg point for the scale, so I've been trying something along the lines of the following to get the correct x and y position to set after the scale:[code]I know this is wrong but I've shown this to give you an idea of my train of thought, I need to work out what the new x and y will be to ensure that the area that is being zoomed in on, stays in the center of the screen.So in my mind this gets the distance from the current position of the map relative to the center point of the screen (offsetX, offsetY) then scales that distance by the new scale.

I'm trying to drag & rotate a planet so it spins around with the mouse -instance name: PlayerThe code works really well but it doesn't seem to rotate around the centre, instead it rotates from the top left corner.I'm quite a noob at as3 so I'm not quite sure where I've gone wrong with my code to be able to fix this. Do I need to specify the dimensions of the stage or the planet? I have altered the Stage from the the default 550 x 400 (if this could be the problem).
