Professional :: Zoom To Movie Clip And Center On Child?
Jul 20, 2010
I have a movie clip of all counties in the state of Montana (allcnt_mc). Within allcnt_mc there are individual movie clips specific to each county with name equal to the county's name. When clicking on a county, I'd like to zoom to that county and center the stage on it. I've added event listeners to all counties through querying an xml table that has demographic info I am calling into dynamic text boxes. Here is the code I have thus far to load the xml and add the listeners to the county movie clips.
//load xml
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);

When I zoom out, instead of centering the document on my zoom, it pushes the doc to the upper left corner. It is pretty maddening, as I am zooming in and out a lot.
Is there a way to manually center the artboard?

I've been working on an interactive map of the counties in Montana. When a user clicks on a county, I'd like the map to zoom to the county's extent and center it on the stage. Every county is a child of a larger container (the state, names allcnt_mc). I've set things up in my function so that when you click on a county POINT variables with all the numbers you need are created. I just cannot get the desired effect and I think I am missing something basic in regards to the geometry of my stage. Can anyone see something I am missing? I set this up so that the parent is tweened to a new location equal to stage center minus the called child's x,y distance from stage center. Essentially, this should center the child over the stage center, no?
function tweenparent(e:MouseEvent):void{
//create vars for x,y cordinates of clicked county (child)
var calledx:Number=allcnt_mc[xmlData.row.NAME[e.currentTarget.ivar]].x;

I'm developing a full screen zoom/pan UI. Everything is working great, except I can't get it to center on the correct point when zooming in.
You can view what I have here: [URL]
The numbers in the top-left corner are the navigation, and the white boxes represent the individual sections.
I have a large container movieclip that fills the entire page. Inside of that movieclip (site) I have all of my individual section movieclips (section1-section6). I'm also using a dynamic registration point class to dynamically set the registration point of the "site" movieclip to the current selected section, so that the zoom in/out is centered on that section.
When a user clicks on a navigation item, I first reduce the _xscale and _yscale of "site" to 80, when that is complete I move _x and _y to the position of the selected section's movieclip. When that is complete, I set the _xscale and _yscale back to 100. Right now, it is not zooming in centered, so I have a final step where I correct the _x and _y position after zooming back in.
If I don't zoom in/out I can successfully pan the movieclip and center on the correct section. I believe the problem is that I am moving the _x and _y to the position of the "site" movieclip as if it is at 100%, but since it is at 80% it is not moving to the correct position. I tried to fix this by giving the _x and _y coordinates as:
endX = endX / 100 * 80;
Which made it a little better, but still not centered. I have a feeling that there may be a fundamental flaw in my approach to this.
For some reason the forum won't let me attach my .zip, so I posted it online, as well: [URL]
My code below, in case you don't want to download the file:
Code:
tile._alpha = 0;
currentSection = section1;
//** Set Stage **//

I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?

I really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:

I was wondering if anybody knew of any technique where i can zoom in and zoom out to certain parts of a movie clip? Im not talking about a map or image zoom component. What im trying to do is a website where you see the "big picture" and depending on which section you want to go to, the movie zooms in to part of the "big picture" and content will load.

I simply have a rectangle vector image of a landscape and I want it to zoom in when I play it...and I guess stop at a certain point. Not a clicking function or roll over, just when I start up my swf file or go to that specific scene I want it start zooming (gradually, not fast either)

I'm try to build a photo gallery using the flash components SlideShowPro and ThumbGrid. I have put ThumbGrid inside a movie clip called thumbs_mc that slides in and out when you mouse over it to show or hide the thumbs. That part is working, but I would like to have the stage and thumbs_mc resize to the browser width with ThumbGrid centered inside thumbs_mc.
Resize and scaling the stage and movie clips is not a problem, but I can't figure out how to keep ThumbGrid centered inside the containing movie clip. ThumbGrid is a fixed width component, and the only way I can get it to work is to have the mc the same width as the component. Here's the part of the AS that I'm using to control the positioning now:
Code:
thumbs_mc.x = (sw/2) - (thumbs_mc.my_tg.width/2);
thumbs_mc.y = sh-25;

(using actionscript 2.0) I have a mc titled 'mc_othersitterimage1' Within 'mc_othersitterimage1' I have one layer with a simple shape that measures 85px x 85px, and I have another layer that has this actionscript on it:
Code:
this.loadMovie(perfectsitterimageURL1);
this._width = 30;
this._height = 30;
('perfectsitterimageURL1' is a variable for an image url. All of the images are NOT the exact same size.) I'd like the image to load in the center of my 85x85 pixel square. I have the registration point in the center of 'mc_othersitterimage1', but it still doesn't seem to work

I am getting some overlap issues when I'm using the hitTestObject function to determine if I am over a particular target area. Is there anyway I can have the center of my movie clip determine if it's over the target area instead of using the whole clip? I am using:
mc.hitTestObject(targeItem);
It is the "mc" that i would like to use the center point instead of the whole movie clip.

The images load but their top left corner go to the 0,0 position of the movie clip (top left). My images are all different sizes and i want them all to be centred. I have looked at alot of threads and cant figure it out.

I'll start off by saying I'm using Flash 8, Actionscript 2.0, and exporting as FlashPlayer 6.I'm trying to do this long landscape with a movie clip labeled, "mainMovie", let's say it's approximately 3600 x 600, while the stage/document dimensions are 800 x 600 .I have script on it so that moving the cursor to the left or right edge of the stage, the entire movie clip shifts left or right and through the rest of the landscape, similar to the 360 vr tours you see for some real estate sites online.On the main stage, I have that movie clip called, "mainMovie". Inside "mainMovie", is another clip called, "singleStrip", and inside that clip, I have other smaller movie clips through the landscape which are labeled and consist of random stuff, like shapes and items and stuff.
Everything works fine. The extra step that I am attempting is that I want the user to be able to scroll through the clip, "click" on an item, and then that item zooms into the front center stage and plays a small animation about that item. These items that are found throughout the landscape are movie clips themselves with script on them to be recognized as buttons.My problem with that is even though the center of my stage would be x=400, y=300, since my mainMovie on the stage scrolls from left to right, when I put in code to tween the item to a center position, that position is only set to the inside of the movie clip and not the center of the stage. I need to center a movie clip within two other clips to the stage.An example of the path of any of those items would be sort of like,
[code]...
That didn't work. It shifted it to a different position, not being the center of the stage.At another point, I tried to fake it out, placing a movie clip of a red ball on the main timeline in the center of the stage, and changed my code to:
[code]...
This didn't work, either.I do have other code that affects the motion scroll of the mainMovie from left to right, but I don't think this is the problem, I could be wrong.

I have a movie clip container that contains 7 smaller movie clips, images converted to movie clips actually. This is a scrolling banner that can scroll left or right.
How do I start in the middle of this banner instead of the far left? That is, when the script first loads I want to be able to scroll left and right, not just right.

So I am creating a photo gallery and in the process I have created a button that links to a movieclip and plays it to appear as a popup window of the larger picture.
on(release) {
attachMovie("gallery_mc", "window", 1);
window._x = 250;
window._y = 150;
}
I then included a close button that simply posts
on(release) {
this.removeMovieClip(window);
}
I am curious as how to make the movie clip popup centered in the screen as it is now popping up in the upper left hand side of the flash movie.

I have a slider which increases and decreases the scale of the map area, however, I cannot work out how to make the area being zoomed into stay in the centre of the map.I have attached an example file to highlight the problem. If the red dots are lined up and the slider moved I want the red dot on the map area to stay in the same place and not move as the map grows.
