View 1 RepliesI do not understand how coordinate systems and movieclips work. When I add a movieclip to the stage and set it's position I expect it to appear there. If I have a movieclip with it's center in the middle, and I add it at 0,0 to my stage I expect it to appear in themiddle.nstead when I add a movieclip to my stage the stage gets bigger... even though the movieclip I added doesn't extend past any bounds of the stage. When I try to make an object tween from one position to another it works half the time but as i add and remove children it begins to fail because the coordinate system is constantly changing.
How can I enforce a static coordinate system on my stage? Or how can I be sure that when I make a tween to move a movieclip from point A to point B that point B won't move around in the time that it's animating?t seems with flash that every time I encounter a problem I am boggled by how little sense it makes and how hard it is to find any information about it. I must be doing something terribly wrong.

View 1 RepliesHere's the situation: I have a populated datagrid and I want to move a form to be inline (same y position) with the datagrid's selectedItem. I cannot rely on a mouseClick event because the selected item may change with a keyboard event. The datagrid does not have an itemRenderer, just plain old dataField.Anyone done this before?
Here's some stubbed out example code for all those interested based on Jacob's answer.

I am using event.event.localX to get the x-axis but it is with reference to local coordinates. How can I get or pass the value of the HBox's xAxis that is clicked by the user so that I can add it in the xAxis of the local coordinate. In other words, I need the global coordinate value? (i.e. x-axis & y-axis)
View 1 RepliesI am faced with a dilemma. I am writing components with nested components. What sort of coordinate system scheme should I implement? I want to be able to pass points to the components without having to worry about where the origin is in absolute terms. At the same time, I want to have some sort of encapsulation when it comes to origins and stuff. Is there any sort of guideline to follow when it comes to nested components and such?

View 21 RepliesOccasionally I listen to online audio from a variety of sources with no problem. ccasionally when I try to do that I get a message (or a button) to download Flash 8.0.0. I have done that several times. Once the app is installed (as far as I know it is), I may then click on that audio file and up comes that same message/button again to d/l Flash 8.0.0. If I try to find Flash on my system, it is somehow not clear to me what I've found.
Let me try right now and see what comes up (I'll summarize): Using Spotlight my "Top Hit" says "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager." When I open that it gives me choices of Quit or Uninstall, but no version number. And if Flash 8 or later is indeed installed, how do I know where it is? (It may indeed be a plug-in somewhere but?) I also have here and there about 6 or 7 Flash-labeled folders. One for example in Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS4/Samples. One more in my Library/Preferences/Macromedia folder (though I use no Macromedia apps). Now let me check my plug-ins for (latest) Safari: There's a Shockwave Flash. There is this: "Verified Download Plugin from file VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin, but no further info. I also have Click to Flash 1.5.5.
I am a rank Flash newbie, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. In InDesign or Illustrator, if I want to change every red object to blue, I can go into the color list, edit the red color to the blue values, and every instance of red in the document reflects the edit. I don't have to select each red element and pick the new blue for stroke and/or fill.

View 1 RepliesI've created a map of Montana counties. Each county is a seperate MC withing the larger parent clip (allcnt_mc). When a county is clicked on, I'd like to center that county on the stage and zoom to its extent. The challenging part has been telling the parent (allcnt_mc) where to tween to. Since each individual county is a child of the parent, they have their own coordinate space referencing that of the parent.
Is there a way I can query the location (x,y) of a child in the parent's coordinate space? With this number, I could calculate the distanct between the parent's current reg. point and that of the child, indicating the distance that the parent would have to move to be centered on the stage. I was trying to use localToGlobal but could not figure out how to use it.

View 1 RepliesI have about 10 as3 coded buttons that use the same AS3 coded parameters to control the font and filters of their text fields. I'd like to create a global function to hold these parameters, and then just call the function within each button, and then also code each button to have it's own myText.text = "blahblah"; I can set up a global function no problem using an external as file, but am having trouble getting Flash to accept the parameters. For example, the following parameters work fine when used within the text fields of the buttons, but as so as I try to put them in an external global function, Flash doesn't like the parameters being external:

View 3 RepliesFrom all the documentation and examples I can find, it appears that it would be
correct to create a global array variable [outside of any functions] to load image names into, then use these images for a slideshow. I want to make the app dynamic, in that changing the text file gives a new set of images.
The global variable goes null [no values] after the load event listener. Why is that?
Isn't global, well global, and alive for the duration of the SWF?

I have a problem when one B.swf file is loaded to another A.swf file.A.swf file size is 400x400.B.swf file size is 100x100.B file has a movie clip (MC) which is animated and position of this movie can be from Y:-100 to Y:200. B file is loaded into the center (X:150, Y:150) of the A file.When B file is loaded, then animation starts. I have a problem: I can see animated movie clip B out of B screen scope (for example: when B.swf file movie clip has _y = -100 I still can see that movie clip in A.swf). I am expecting that movie clip will not be shown if Y position becomes negative

View 1 RepliesI think I did this before but can't find the code. Flash as many other graphical frameworks use the top-left corner as the coordinate origin (0,0) because it's how the underlying memory model is by convention. But it would be really simpler for my calculations if the origin was in the center of the stage, because all the game revolves around the center and uses a lot of trigonometry, angles, etc. Is there some built-in method like Stage::
setOrigin( uint, uint );
or something like that?

I want to create a simple array of points, representing a clockwise set of coordinates at 45 degree increments, such that the array would be (starting from 12 o'clock):
var coordArray : Array = [
new Point(0,-1),
new Point(1,-1),
new Point(1,0),[code]........
I'm looking for the most efficient way of creating this array (ideally with the coordinates themselves generated through some sort of equation). What's the best way to do this? All I want to do with these is create a coordinate on the stage relative to the clips current coordinate in which to move, based on that clips, such that if the move distance for clips was 50px, and the clip had a depth of 0, it would move 50px in the coordArray[0] position, or 0*50 in the x direction, and -50px in the y direction (0,-1).
i defined the global variable in the first frame of my file, and i can access it on other frames, however i am trying to access it within a movieclip, and flash is telling me that it is undefined. does anyone know why this could be?
