I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?
I am trying to obtain an effect which the car is getting gradually blotted out with the zooming black rectangle but how to get it right, from a few frames and on the car still appears, do I need further masking?

I am building a site with some features of google map. I want to pan, zoom in out a map with tweening effect.But when I zoom the map(Movie clip) it zooms out of the rectangular boundary. I also want to wrap the map(when scrolled). How can I do all these?

View 1 RepliesI'm wondering how I can create a dynamic rectangle wich has some text in it, the text is dynamic so the rectangle has to adapt to the length of the text. How to approach this?
View 3 Repliesi need to check if a point is within a rotated rectangle. I have to do this mathematically, as none of the objects are on the stage so i can't use hitTestPoint. I know the position and rotation of the rectangle, and if necessary can get the four corners as points as well.
I kind of feel silly asking this, because i am pretty sure it's not a hard thing to do, i just can't work it out and so far any google searches just bring up hitTestPoint.
I can create a MovieClip using the follwing process:
1. Select rectangle tool from ToolsWindow and draw a rectangle by dragging through mouse.
2. Then press F8 by selecting the drawn rectangle, select radio-button with "MovieClip" and click "OK".
3. Now give the instance-name to this newly created Movieclip(say,myMovie). Now, we are able to use this MovieClip.
But, I don't like to use this process and I like to use ActionScript 3.0 code as a sole to create a custom-sized MovieClip(here, size depends on MovieClip's "width & height" properties) upon which I need to place as many no. of text-fields( say, "n")& "n" value is known dynamically upon requirement. Hence the MovieClip size must be increased/decreased as per our requirement depending on "n"(i.e., no. of TextFields.
And my code writte in "Actions" panefor changing the MovieClip's size dynamically upon requirement looks like this:
HTML Code:
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onSubmit);
function onSubmit(evnt:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code].....
My need is:
1.) I need ActionScript 3.0 code to create a Rectangle shape which must be a MovieClip. So, I need to pass/access MouseEvent_CLICK events on this MovieClip.
2.) Now, this newly created MovieClip(or rectangle) should not be created with same/static size always. Instead, it's size is dependable on some value(say,var index:int).
In this case, I think it is better and good programming practice to write the code for dynamic-sized MovieClip in a user-defined method(say, createDynaMovieClip()).
I need the full requirement in ActionScript 3.0 code format only.
I got struck up with this problem and the sample code which I developed till now is as shown below(which creates the required rectangle):
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var rectangle:Shape = new Shape();
rectangle.graphics.beginFill(0xF3FAB8);

View 1 RepliesFor those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?
