Actionscript 3 :: Prevent Height Change Of A DisplayObject?
Mar 8, 2011
Is there a way to prevent the automatic change of the height property of a DisplayObject? It automatically resizes to match content, though my swf file is 32 pixels height. The code below can show prove of this, first frame enemy.height is 32 but later is 27.5, and this messes up my script.getRect() and getBounds() return exactly the same. Also, I want to know why in the first frame it shows the correct height and in the second it changes, it should show 27.5 from the beginning.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
[code].....

It seems that the getters and setters for the height are all botched up when the DisplayObject has any rotation applied to it at all.The getter for the height returns the total height of all the bounds.The setter for the height sets the height regardless of rotation.If you set the same value for height several times in a row, you will get about 3 different results until it stays at the same result.If the heigt's getters and setters are different, imagine the ramaflacations involved, first and foremost setting properties via "+=".Just posted up a quick example: (ZIP with SWF is attached - FLA can be made available upon request)The properties "width", "height", and "rotation" are applied in that order as listed, but setting them in a different order will affect the result differently, but I don't have the time for that.

I would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?

Has anyone got any alternatives to what Colin Moock has coded to GET VISIBLE WIDTH/HEIGHT OF A DISPLAY OBJECT in ActionScript 3? That esp. in perspective of DisplayObjects that have 3D transforms applied and visible dimensions of which you need to consider for a calculation.

I would like to know the way to prevent a child swf from referencing its parent swf stage width/height?
for example, i created a child swf that loads image and center it on it's stage. As a stand alone its fine but i loaded it with parent swf, it centers on the parent swf instead.

I am coding a graphical interface using Flex, and I have a qestion related to masks in Flash.I want to create a kind of mask that defines which color and which alpha value a text will have according to its position on the screen. It is very easy to do that with the text being the mask of a bitmap, for instance.
However, I also want to take into account the color of the text itself.for instance, if I create a red text, in some zone it will be red with a modified alpha value, but on another zone, the text will be full white, as if there was a kind of mask which also applies its own color on top of it.
Is there a way to easily do this kind of thing? Of course, I can manually apply the format on the text according to where it is, but I wonder if there is an automatic processing like mask or blend mode using a DisplayObject as a processing pattern.

Within FlashBuilder/Eclipse, when you select a word, such as "protected" or a variable, every instance of that word is also highlighted.How do I change the background color of the selected instances of that word or disable the feature altogether?I have already changed the "selected text background color", the instance background color seems to be controlled separately.

I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

I'm trying to edit an HTML that uses swfobject to load a flash file.
What I'm trying to do is to reduce the size of the SWF file.
I've tried editing the height and width parameter within the swfobject(), but that didn't work.
I tried reducing the width height in the HTML css, but that also didn't work..
How can I pass a 'width' or a 'height' parameter to the swfobject so it will actually load the swf in a smaller or 'zoomed out' way?

I have an html page that loads a swf that loads an AS 3 animation with 4 dozen 60k jpgs that rely on the tween class to move them across the screen.
I'd like to start the empty stage at 10px, and after the jpgs load, animate the height to 142px, pushing down the html underneath and run the parade.

I'm making a program like roomplanner at [url]..
I need to know how to change the width and the height of the movie clip. I know how to scale x and y but that doesn�t work in my case because i have for example an object which height is 75 pixels and width is 137 pixels. X scale and Y scale would work if my objects were 100 pixels width and 100 pixels height.

Using FB4, I want to change the height of an open spark DropDownList. By default, it shows up to 6 items before scrolling. My dropdownlist contains 7 items, so I want to change the height of the open dropdown list to fit all 7 items without scrolling. As a workaround, I've changed the font size of the items so that they are smaller and all 7 fit, but the smaller font doesn't look good. Is there a way to change this height?

How can I change the line height of a Label element in Flex?
I have two labels in a VBox and there is quite a lot of white space between them which I would like to reduce. There's no line height property and setting the height property causes overlap.

I know there have been several similar posts but of those I've read, there hasn't been an easy straight forward solution that will work dynamically. The solutions posted have ranged from
super.width = wvalue;
super.height = hvalue;
which I did not get to work, and it seemed from the response to the suggestion neither could the person who originally asked for help, to suggestions about using scale, all the way to having to create an event handler that will get notified after the load, which I guess would work once but wouldn't work dynamically.
Here is the scenario -
I want to change width and height for a MovieClip, but I dont want to scale it, (its more like cropping the MovieClip, not shrinking or stretching) and I want to do this several times not just after the load of the MovieClip.
So my questions are:
1) Is there anyway to do this that really works, that hopefully isn't totally convoluted?
2) Why is it so hard to do this in Flash/AS3?

I am trying to build a interactive slider,in which when user drag the slider up the height of silhouette increases by some fix amount n when user drag the slider down the height of silhouette decreases by some fix amount.the problem i am facing is that when i drag the slider slowly than everything works fine but when i drag the slider faster than the height dont increase or decrease properly.i mean the increment or decrement in the height of silhouette is depending on speed of slider,which i dnt want.
here is the code-
Code:
var bounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(499.65,260,0,240);
slider.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveSlider);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopSlider);

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)
