I have 3 square. smallest square s3 is inside s2. s2 is in side s1. each is 10px larger [code]how can I find the coordinate of child in its parent's coordinate system?
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.

I expected the trace command at the end of this code to return 0, but it returns 100. Does anyone know why mc's y coordinate value is not updated after adding it a child?[code]...
View 9 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 5 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 1 RepliesIs there anyway to implement the parent addchild without its parent x and y coordinate?
ActionScript Code:
iamparent.x =100
iamparent.y=100;[code]....
the final coordinate of the child would be x=200, y=200. But, is there anyway that that i cant addChild with only respect to the coordinate of iamchild?

View 1 Repliesi have a mapMC on the stage and 6 buttons. i need to be able to make the buttons move the mapMC to specified coordinates. the coordinates are set and will never change. i also need an easing from one location to the next. i guess i'll go ahead and throw in a bonus question for any of you aces out there. lets say location "A" is at x=200, y=400. i would like the mapMC to get there and scale 120%. so a button that gets pressed will go to its coordinates and scale acordingly. i can see that this could be script heavy, but for some reason not too difficult.

View 3 Repliesfirst have a look at this: [URL] It loads "auto" coordinates from php file, and makes the "auto" move after timeinterval. It is needed tht it could load infinate coordinates, but i fail to do it. If u change setProperty(auto, _x, kord ) to setProperty(auto, _x, x2 ) , it works, but as u can see only with one coordinate.

If you drag the map, it moves even beyond the edge of the map so the map eventually gets dragged off the screen. Is there any possible way to stop the map moving any furthur than its boundry?

When I use 3D rotation tool, there is an option called global transform, if it turned off, the object would rotate by its own axes, this is exactly what I want. How can I do rotatation like that with AS3 code? Is there any property if changed then rotationX/Y/Z would rotate object by its axes?

I've usually designed Flex applications myself but this time I'll need a designer to assist with skinning the application. I've worked with this designer for a while, and we could work well on an HTML/CSS environment. He can't code, he sends me sliced PSDs which I could convert to clean code. But I'm not sure how to have him assist me with Flex UI as he's not familiar with the components.How do you guys interface with designers for your applications?
View 2 RepliesI 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 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a 2d birds eye map for my user to move around it, and the map moves around instead of the user MC because I always want the user to be in the middle.
Problem is I load the map into an instance of a blank movie clip on the stage from a jpeg on the server, but I want to be able to put items on the map that the user can interact with at certain coordinates, after the map has been loaded, from some gifs I imported into the library as bitmaps.
I can't seem to find a function that will let me load the bitmaps into the MC that already has the map in it though, is it possible to do it that way? If not then any recommendations?

View 1 RepliesI 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. how I could prevent B.swf files movie clip appearing on A.swf file?
I am wanting to take the average x co-ordinate of several movieclips, mc_01, mc_02, etc. using arrays. That is, I would like to sum all the x co-ordinates and then divide by the number of movieclips.
View 1 RepliesI am currently in the process of creating a scroller that would take in movieclips comprised of images and video. It will continually scroll to the left, and the animations and video will play at a certain point on the stage.
The problem I am encountering right now is how to place the movieclips on the scroller. my first thought was place them in the actual movieclip, but then you can't access them on stage.
My second thought was to assign their x coordinate to a certain part of the scroller and just increment the x coordinate with the same system to make it look like it was attached. The only problem with that is I would need to track the scroller's x coordinate so I would know when it gets to the middle of the stage (so I could play the video inside of the smaller movieclip at that location.)
track a movieclip's x coordinate like that? could I run through it and trace, and then act on that trace? I'm so confused.
Will my first attempt at this work? Is it somehow possible to access movieclips within a bigger movieclip and treat them as if they were on stage?
How would i make it so that i can make something move at an x/y coordinate and have it move there with ease?

It changes the coordinates of the main background image, not the position of the movie it just loaded. I tried something like this....

I am loading a swf into my website using loadMovie on level 1 (which i am not sure is the best way) and it shows up in the upper left hand corner by default i guess. how do i give it the coordinates so that it appears where i want it to.
