I have been designing at a professional level for about 5 years now but I am new to flash. I've been tasked with creative a wheel of fortune game in flash, and I am trying to create a script that will make my wheel spin with a blur and then slowly decelerate to a random tile.

i've created a rotating banner with images and wanted to increase the stage size so i can put an opaque larger image in the background and have the other images rotate on top of it. when i made the stage larger i'm having difficulty selecting the other photos so i can center them back on the on the stage. i was able to get the first image centered but i only see the outline of the other images.
View 3 RepliesI'm new to flash (as a developer, downloaded it 2 hours ago... :-p) and I've been customizing controls that I am already familiar with... It was a pleasant surprise to know that Flash Professional CS5 supports keyboard shortcut remapping, however I can't seem to get it to map Ctrl+Mouse wheel Up as Zoom in, and Ctrl+Mouse Wheel Down as zoom out...
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to write code that starts rotating a movieclip at a certain speed, and slows it down over a certain time.I got it to work, but my code is a little flimsy, plus a bit complex. I figured there must be a simpler way, and I've tried all manners of timers and rotations, including using Greensock code, but I can't get it to work.I want it to start of rotating at 3.6 degrees every 0.005 seconds (2 rotations per second), and increase the 0.005 time each 3.6 degree increment until it takes about 1 second to rotate 3.6 degrees.
View 3 RepliesThis is giving me such a headache.I have a movie clip and it has a centered registration point but the transformation point is in the top left corner. I want both to be in the center of the MC. I want a little circle with cross-hairs in t in the middle of my MC, if at all possible without moving my MC. But I cannot get that damn cross-hair to budge from the top left corner! When I go into the info window and change the X-Y values of the transformation point, the whole MC just moves to a new position. The infuriating things is, I've done it before but I just can't seem to work out what I did. Please don't tell me to drag the registration point in free transform mode. I can do that, but I cannot drag the transformation point in the same way.
View 9 RepliesI have a website that I would like to make a little improvement. The website is functioning quite well except one little small thing. The xml gallery image is not centering. At the moment it is aligned to the top left corner. I would like to center all images no matter what size they are, but I don't know where to find the action script that centers the content in XML. Here is the website, so you can see what I am talking about: [URL] how to make a pop up window that you can see the image even larger and go up and down to see the details?
View 7 Replieshorizontally center my flash movie in browser windows. Worked swimmingly, but now realize there is no scroll functionality. I did find another code sample that allows for scrolling, but I could not make it work. Can anyone take a look at the following code and tell me what I need to do, or simply revise the code for scrolling? (Caveat: I'm a designer, not a developer, so I know nothing about HTML. Feel free to assume I'm an idiot;-)

I recently purchased a flash template and I have successfully replaced the information and logo with what I want, but my only issue is trying to center the logo and the slogan in the middle of the page layout. I've looked through the original flash files that came with it and tried everything I could think of. I am not having any success. I just need to center the logo and I am not getting it. I have provided a send space download link to the files also. [URL]

View 2 RepliesWhen I open a new document in flash, the stage is in the top left corner of my screen and I cannot figure how to center it in the middle. I cannot go to the left or above the stage which is making it very difficult to work with as I cannot access those areas.
View 1 RepliesI know theres probably a simple solution but it's escaping me at the moment.
I have a centered swf, I want it to stop centering if the swf reaches the side nav so they dont overlap.
function Center(mc) {
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if(mc._x >500){
[Code]....
this stops the centering when it hits 500, but it stops all centering because it's stuck on 500.
I have used the centering pop up technique, but my problem lies with the boreders. I'm using the pop ups for jpgs, but it seems to have a bit of a boreder at the top and the left of the image, how can I get rid of this. I used the tut on this site for centered popups. an example of my problem is on my site at [URL]..
View 4 RepliesI have a movieClip that starts out a a specific scale. I then tween the images properties and as it tweens it also scales again. What I'm trying to do as it tweens and scales its obviously changes the width and height of the movieClip. So I'm trying to constantly keep the clips position in the center of the stage.
I'm using tweenMax and I tired an update event so I could keep checking the width and height of the clip as it scales and then using this code to center it but it doesn't seem to be centering the image. On other thing to note is my MovieClip is using its top left corner as the registration point.

I'm told that the following chunk of script will center the stage on resize, but not knowing much of anything about actionscript,
myListener = new Object(); myListener .onResize = function () { ... } Stage.addListener( myListener ); // later ... Stage.removeListener( myListener );
I've come across a new snag to a previous project. I'm not quite sure why, but when the full image is loaded to the stage, it is not centering it properly. The trace of fullLoader returns "0" for the width and height of the full-sized image, and I'm not quite sure how to pass the necessary information into the showPicture function so that it correctly centers the image. I tried tracing the content of fullLoader and got an error message.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip on the stage which has the dimensions 400x400.I currently load images,and add them to this component.Each image is a different size. At this moment in time, they are placed at position 0,0 within the movieclip container.Some of the code looks like
var data:XML;
var total:Number;
var url_list = new Array();[code]....
Is there anyway I could get the loaded images placed at the center of the movieclip container.I dont know if I have to do something like subtract the images width and height from the containers width and height, and then divide by 2?
- How can I center my main SWF inside the browser without stretching the the swf? I just want it to be center both horizontal and vertical when you resize the browser.

I'm trying to center an swf in a browser without using table width and height 100% and the most promising way i've found so far is to set
Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";
in the first frame and then set the width and height of the object tag in the html to 100%. However, i'm having trouble getting this to work with the doctype in some newer browsers.

1. I have an .swf framework file that imports two other .swf files into itself to be viewed. The actionscript to import the other .swf files is as below. This works in firefox 3.0.5, but not in any other newer or older version of firefox, even if they have the latest, and same flashplayer 10 versions installed. It doesn't work in explorer either but in opera it works. I't doesn't matter if I use mac or PC. Why ? Is there something wrong with my actionscript ? For now the page with the imported .swfs just shows up empty.
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadHandler:Object = new Object();
loader.addListener(loadHandler);[code].....
2. I've used a html template that use div tags to center content both horizontaly and verticaly in any browser.The centering works fine, but when I put in the code for embedding my framework .swf, it starts chewing alot before the .swf shows up. It's like something slows down the whole process.Sometimes I have to reload the page to make it show. Check out the website to see whats wrong. View the source code in any browser to see if I have made some misstake putting in the code for flash embedding...
I have some questions about centerting your SWF inside a browser using actionscript 3.0.
- How can I center my main SWF inside the browser without stretching the the swf? I just want it to be center both horizontal and vertical when you resize the browser.

I'm heaving trouble centering the preloader on the center of the stage. The preloader is basically a rotating oval shape.
so, below is the code that for some reson puts the circle in the top left corner...
Code:
stop();
var circle:LoadCircle = new LoadCircle();
var circle_WIDTH:Number = circle.width;
[Code]....
meaning... the stage is not static, but it dynamically shrinks and expands to the size of the oval preloader...
how to make the stage "static" so that when I set the size in the document properties, centering an object in AS3 will stick to it?

I would like align everything centered (the cells as well as the column Header.The code that I have basically creates the datagrid at runtime,

I'm having trouble with the positioning of objects within the NativeWindow. So my code below creates a NativeWindow, and then draws a rectangle and adds it to the stage of the NativeWindow. I can't seem to have the rectangle centered in the window. I've tryed playing with the stage scale mode, and align properties. By default the align should be center, but it doesn't appear to be the case. The rectangle seems to be drawn from somewhere between the center and top left of the window. I've also drawn a rectangle onto the main app window using identical code.
Code:
import flash.display.NativeWindowInitOptions;
import flash.display.NativeWindow;
var NWIO = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
[code]....
Left window is the main app, and the right window is the NativeWindow.
