Professional :: Set To 1000 Pixels In Height And Length?
Jan 8, 2012
Here is my problem. I have a file set to 1000 pixels in height and length. My image covers that size. I am trying to create a series of panels that are lined up next to each other and than motion tween it so it looks like the background is moving. I am creating each panel by copying and pasting it and placing them next to each other so it forms a single large line. However, the screen does not allow me to see everything and tends to cut off my panels and I don't know how to fix this. I have it set as "Show All" and it still does not work.
I was told to covert it to background strips dynamically. Can someone tell me how to do this step by step?
I was told to do this, Covert the files to movie clips and that add this:
I'm populating a dropDownList with arrayCollection of strings. I want the width of the drop down list control to match with the size (in pixels) of the longest string in the array collection. The problem I'm facing is: the font width of the strings in the collection are different e.g. 'W' looks wider than 'l'. So I estimated the width of a character to be 8 pixels but that's not pretty neat. If a string that has many 'W' and 'M' is encountered the estimation is wrong. So I want precise pixel width of strings. How can i get the exact length of a string in pixels??
My solution that estimates all character to be 8 pixels wide is given below:
public function populateDropDownList():void{ var array:Array = new Array("o","two","three four five six seven eight wwww"); var sampleArrayCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(array);
I am wanting to position a large close-quote graphic relative to the end of the last line of text in a text field. Is there a way to use textWidth to find the width in pixels of just the last line of a textField?
Does anybody know if there is a way to uotput the length of a text field in pixels. I mean that would depent on the text style of course.I am trying to create a mask with the width of the text fields plus 3 pixels.
I am wondering if anyone knows a way to determine the real length in pixels that a phrase uses.The problem lies on the fact that every character does not take the same space (x pixels). Let's say I have a dynamic text field and I want to know how many pixels does the sentence use.is not the same to have:phrase #1 =iiiiiiiiiithanphrase #2 =wwwwwwwwwweven though both are using 10 characters.What is the most precise way to find this out?

I'm using Flex3 building my AS3 projects for some 3D effects. I am going to create 1000 polygons(or rectangles) on the scene, without texture mapping. It seems the native 3D api of AS3 needs quite a lot memory:
[Code]....
here i created 1000 sp on the scene, the runtime memory cost seems to be more than 60MB. if increase to 2000, memory goes to 120MB. It seems the FVM's native 3D api generates a bitmap texture for each sprite, it's pretty memory costing. The alternative way may be is to draw the projected vertices of the sprites frame by frame by using local3DToGlobal and drawTriangles() to render the scene, but that could be slower. So is there any way to render many instances using the native 3D feature with costing much memory?
I want to change the height of a textfield to 60 pixels, without changing the size of the text, and still keeping it centered. When I want to change the size of the texfield, I can change the length, but the height is unfortunately locked. Any ideas? (Unfortunately I can't provide a link or an image, since I haven't made 50 posts)
Okay what I after is how to detect the length of the string populated from array...then auto rescale the height of the title_mc as shown in my AS as well as the dynamic created textfield ..so the textfield will display long string + "newline" for long string...(autowrapper)..
Whenever I test or publish a CS5 movie that uses TLF text (no matter which font), the .swf displays all elements but the text. There's simply nothing there. I'm on a mac with Snow Leopard, 10.6.7. This only happens as soon as I pass the 1000 frame limit (before, everything displays fine). Reaching wit's end here. Anyone know what causes this, and more specifically, how to solve it?
I have a swf file that loads into my main movie, and within that swf there is a masked image that i would like to scale using zoom in and out buttons and also by using a slider bar.However i cant find any tutorials that will allow me to combine the two.I have used the following code for the buttons. Which seems to work ok but i would like it to be a little smoother. (using speed or some sort of easing??)
I have a movie clip called column1_mc. when I click a button I need to move the movie clip in incremental moves consisting of 30 pixels.
column1_mc._y = 30;
Does not work because that is giving a _y coordinate.For example.I need to make the movie clip jump to _y 300 but make 10x30 pixel incremental jumps. Moving 10 times 30 pixel jumps.
if I set the stage to be 800 px X 800 px, it does not appear square, neither does holding shift + drawing a rectangle. However, drawing an oval and holding shift seems to create a circle(though it could be I can't notice it because it's too small). Is there some way to make these appear square?
I'm trying to move the mouse and check how many pixels I "walked" by comparing the positions every frame, my idea was doing it with arrays, but I really don't know how to make it.
Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
Is there any way to determine if a (anonymous) function has defined the ...(rest) parameter in ActionScript 3? I know there's the function.length property, but it only counts the explicitly defined arguments.
In CS5, I want to create a simple series of still images that display in the Timeline for about 5 seconds each. Is there an easy way to do either of the following:
1. Change the Timeline to display in seconds instead of frames?
2. Specify how long something should appear prior to the next symbol showing up in the Timeline?
if I take a square, turn into a Movie Clip, addjust the Perspective Angle, and the Vanishing Points. Then I rotate the square along the x axis so that the square is now a plane laying on the z axis. How do I get the length of the Movie Clip? I need to know when a plane starts and ends on the z axis. I also need to get the width.
I am using Flash CS4. Is there any way to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once? I am doing an animation of leaves falling from a tree. The leaves alone have 17 separate timelines on separate layers plus each has it's own guide layer.If I had the ability to to select all of the timelines together and adjust all of their respective start and end times at the same same time, relative to each other as well as separately, life would be so much easier!Of course I can do it timeline by timeline, no problem, but I can't seem to adjust the length of more than one timeline at a time. (no pun intended)Even when I select more than one timeline, the double arrow only adjusts the length of one timeline. Even each guide layer's length has to be adjusted separately. I understand the benefit of this, but, testing timing and making adjustments would be so much simpler and go so much faster if I could select and drag multiple timeline lengths at the same time.
I have learned from a video tutorial (Flash CS5 in the Family 23: Banner Ad Part 1)to use the F5 key to set the length of a time line of a particular image.When using the F5 key on the MAC keyboard, it will only allow for the audio to be worked with.I've tried Apple+F5, Option+F5, Ctrl+F5 etc.What am I missing?
Is there a way to tell a movie clip duration without opening it? I have several movie clips on scene and it would be great to be able to tell where the scene ends, without opening each movie clip, adding their length to the starting frame and comparing them, which one will last the longest in the end.
I just joined this Adobe Forums, and I am new to action script 3.0, I am working on a couple of lessons and I would like to be able to shorten the number of frames they take up on the timeline by setting the time the transition takes in seconds in my action script, and limiting each to a single frame so that my timeline can be organized and easy to work with.SO I set the seconds to 10 seconds, and kept each on a single key frame BUT THE PROBLEM is that the transition only plays as a single frame and cuts off and then moves to the next frame and so on
