View 16 RepliesProfessional :: Tweening Parent To Put Child Over Stage Center
Jul 22, 2010I'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;

Professional :: Center An Imported .swf File On Stage (ALL 50 Frames Of It)?
Apr 24, 2011I am a Flash novice who was asked to do a brief training exercise on importing a simple .swf (3D animation) into Flash. However, I cannot figure out how to center the .swf on the Flash stage. Flash always places it in the top left corner of the stage, and while I can center each individual frame of the 50-frame animation by using the align feature in the properties window, I do not know how to center the entire 50-frame clip all at once. Do I have to use ActionScript to do this? And if so, what is the exact code I would need for this, and what exact procedure would I follow?
View 1 RepliesProfessional :: Can't Get Imported Library Items To Appear On Stage?
Oct 7, 2010I am using the CS4 version and when I click on the library item and drag it to the stage, there is nothing there. It is just a blank canvas and it's like the image(s) are hidden behind the stage or something. When I do a Publish Preview, I can see the .swf file with all the images, but in the .fla, there is nothing showing but the text files, and then that is even hidden in a newly created file. I am not sure if I accidently turned something on/off that is preventing my images from not showing on the stage or what. I really need to find a solution to this problem because I need to create a Flash file for a project I am working on in one of my classes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have done Google searches and Forum searches to no avail unless I'm not using the right keywords in my search.
View 2 RepliesProfessional :: Making Items Appear On Stage Only When Button Is Clicked?
Nov 27, 2010In CS5, I want to have a frame with buttons that when clicked, reveal different graphic symbols or movie clips (I'm not sure what to use?). The symbols will reveal text information and graphics, and might fade in when clicked, though will not move or do anything else.
1. Is it better to make these text and graphcis into movie clips or graphic symbols?
2. How do they get hidden on the stage until a user clicks on a button to reveal it?
3. Using Code snippets, which option will make this work?

View 1 RepliesAS3 :: Draw A Line From The Center Of The Stage Out And Increment Around The Stage?
Jan 31, 2010I am trying to have flash draw a line from the center of the stage out and increment around the stage. Not sure what math I would use to do this though. So far I have the line going out to a certain point but not sure how to change that point so that it circles around whatever the dimensions of my stage would be.
So far I have this:
var linetox=0;
var linetoy=0;
var _stage=this;[code]...
which obviously moves the destination ending of the line lower and lower, just trying to get it to draw around the screen (like a clock)
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Stage Items, Through A SWF File Which Is Loaded Inside The Stage
May 14, 2011- I have A.fla.
- A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER
- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla, B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.
general question: accessing elements in a stage, through a SWF file loaded into that stage.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Center A MC On Stage?
Jul 11, 2010I need to center a MovieClip, and i know how to do this, but the problem is this MC has content in it of different sizes on each frame. So when it goes to say, frame 2, the MC is no longer in the center. This is what i use:
ActionScript Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
[code]...
How can that be changed to center this MC when the size of it changes? I would guess the code would need to know when the MC's size has been changed and re-align...
ActionScript 3.0 :: Center MC On Stage?
Feb 9, 2009I have a MC on stage that I dynamically add and remove elements to and from. Since its dimensions vary subject to those changes I's like to "pin-point" it to the center of my (800x600) stage. I thought it would be agood idea to get the dimensions of the MC (it's called container) and set its x and y accordingly, but somehow it won't work as I got the feeling the registration is somewhere else (and I don't get the logic behind where it is).
The code I am using at the moment is the following
Code:
var dimensions:Rectangle = container.getBounds(stage);
container.x = 400 - dimensions.width/2;
container.y = 300 - dimensions.height/2;

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Zoom From Center Of Stage?
Jun 2, 2007I have a big movieClip which the user can zoom by click on a 'zoom-in' button. Once zoomed the user can click on that movieclip and pan it. Now the center of that movieClip is displaced and no longer where it was before. However, if the user click on 'zoom-in' now again, the movieClip should zoom from the center of the stage and not from the movieClip's center.
To put it simply, I want a formula which will zoom a movieClip from the center of the stage and not from its registration point, no matter where the registration point is.

Like an arrow in a dartboard. I thought this was easy to accomplish using simple trigonometry like this: (before the testMC is rotated in Y space, it has a widh of 1000) testMC.rotationY = -(Math.acos((stage.stageWidth/2)/(1000))*(180/Math.PI));

ActionScript 3.0 :: Keep Object In Stage Center While Scrolling?
Feb 9, 2011I have a situation where i have a horizontal scrolling container that has a video object inside it. the video object has to stay inside the scrolling content for another reason i don't want to get into here. Now the client wants me to keep the video in the center of the stage even when the clip its inside of is scrolling. Normally I would just take it out of the scrolling clip and place it above the scrolling content but i cant do that here. I tried this math but it didn't work exactly. on an enter frame when the video is open I have this code;
Actionscript Code:
if( vid ) vid = ( stage.stageWidth/2 - vid.width/2) - scrollingContainer.x;
ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Map To Zoom Around The Center Of The Stage?
Jan 21, 2009up/down/right/left) except for zooming around the center of thestage. Let me explain, the user can drag the map in any directionany number of times but whenever they zoom in/out whichever pointof the map is in the center of the viewable area should always stayin the center.So for example I have several zones in my map, like Zone 1,Zone 2, Zone 3, etc. Let's say the user wanted to examine Zone 1more closely so they move the map in such a way that Zone1 nowappears in the center of the viewable area. I want when they zoomin/out Zone 1 to always remain in the center.
So I have the Map as a movie clip symbol and as a buttonsymbol. In Scene 1 of my Flash document I've inserted the Map movieclip and inside of the movie clip I have the Map button. In Frame 1of the layer where my map is I have the code for moving and zoomingin/out. Here is what it looks like below.
