I have a sprite and when it is added to the screen, I want it to be added on top of everything else on the stage.What is the best way to ensure that a sprite when added, is on top of everything and not hidden behind other sprites?

I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class ScrollBar extends Sprite {[code].....

I'm doing a simple rotation on a sprite but there's a weird behavior where the sprite does not rotate around it's top left. I think I'm rotating along the top left of the test class instead of the sprite child. I would like to rotate the rectangle around it's top left corner (kinda like a clock hand). The code is pretty short so I'll let the code + pictures explain my problem:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

I've read a lot of stuff about rotating around a fixed point, I've tried doing it with movieclips instead of sprites, I even copy pasted a tutorial on rotation and nothing works.

Then the numericStepper is drawn as if it is squished to 20% its normal height. If I pre-set mySprite width and height before adding the numericstepper, the trace output is 0,0 after adding it and it is not displayed at all. Is there some way I can make the sprite only adjust to correctly fit the numericStepper OR resize it afterwards without distorting the numericStepper component?
Both of sprite.width and sprite.scaleX can be used for scale a sprite. Is possible sprite.scaleX depends on screen size?

Everytime I google this question I see confusing information about masks and blends, none of which seems to directly apply to what I think should be an easy thing... There are three Sprites involved here...the lowest layer sprite is pretty much a background. I want to overlay a translucent Sprite on top of the background and then I want the third, top-most Sprite to act as a hole, so that the area inside the third Sprite is completely transparent, so that the background sprite is completely visible. How would I go about doing this dynamically (i.e. dynamically drawing the masking sprite and hole using the Actionscript graphics calls)?

View 1 RepliesIve got a question that feels like it should be easy but I cant figure it out. Suppose I have 2d grid of square sprites on the stage, lets say 20 by 20 (400 sprites). Another sprite moves accross the stage on top of the grid. The moving sprite and the 400 sprites below it share a common parent. So heres the question: How do I find out which of the 400 sprites the moving sprite is currently over? And heres an extra wrinkle: I lied, the sprites are not square they are of differing shapes so I cant do a simple math calculation.
All I can come up with is something like hitTestPoint(), but then I would have to call it 400 times wouldnt I? That is probably the most inefficient way to do things. Is there a function like whatsUnderThisPoint(p : Point) which will return a list of every sprite on the display list that contains p?

q1)when would I use a sprite in a game? eg private var sp:Sprite=new Sprite();
Currently I load bitmaps and bitmapdata fro frames.
q2)My player class extends Sprite but does Sprite class speed things up or it is better to use when I have many images?
q3)If I use a Sprite how t=do I get the Bitmap out of it to use with bitmap collisions test?

View 2 RepliesHow do I create multiple instance of the same sprite with different name as in shap1,shape2, shape3, etc. Then the function will change the color of the sprite through getChildByName? Whether I create a new instance, the old sprite will be overwrite by the new sprite and when I call the old "shape1", it will be null. How do I retain all sprite?

I have the following code which creates a series of squares with pictures on them. I then want to scale up the squares on a roll over event. The squares are placed in the x and z coordinates so they look like they are placed on top of each other. When you roll over a square it's scaled up and when rolling out it scales down. The problem is that I want the scaled square to be on top of the rest but I don't seem to be able to figure it out

Basically I guess it is a reference problem I do have. (1120: Access of undefined property images)
For an image gallery I also do have a few text sprites which may have to much text for one side to display. Therefore I do have a scrollbar placed next to the text which should be able to move my text sprite within its mask.
