Actionscript 3 :: Prevent A Rect From Moving From Its Position When Decreasing Width?
Apr 12, 2012
I seem to be having problems with rectangles moving from their assigned positions when all I want to do is decrease their width.A game I'm working on simulates an explosive with a fuse. The fuse decreases in size as a clock counts down to 0.I think the problem has to do with local coordinates vs. global coords, but I'm not sure how to rectify the problem. Here is some code:
//fuse
_fuse = new Sprite();
_fuse.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);[code]........
Nowhere in my code does the x position of the fuse change.Aside from this one issue, the rect functions exactly how I want it to.

I draw a rectangle within another rectangle like this (I use it as a mask):
CanvasBorder.graphics.beginFill(0xf0ff00,0.1);
CanvasBorder.graphics.drawRect(100,100,550, 300);
CanvasBorder.graphics.drawRect((stage.stageWidth/2-Canvas.width/2),(stage.stageHeight/2-Canvas.height/2),250, 150);
CanvasBorder.graphics.endFill();
effectively its a 550x300 box with a 250x150 cutout.
Within one of my functions I need to resize the INNER 'cut-out' box from 250x150 to 150x100 - but keep the OUTER box exactly the same.
Normally when I'd resize a normal rectangle I'd do this:
rectangle .width = 150;
rectangle .height = 100;

I have a project which has a background which is a swf that is scalable with the browser.However I do not want anything in the parent SWF to scale and want to position it in the top left of the browser regardless of size. how to do this in AS3 Currently it seems that the parent SWF is scaling everything as a result of a child swf on the stage.

I have a MovieClip, named "thing", that's in one position and in another position on the next frame. I added an eventlistener to "thing" to advance frames. Very simple, everything works fine.I then add "thing.alpha = 0.5" in the button's event listener. Now when I publish the file, thing fades but doesn't move.
p.s. For reference, here's the entirety of my AS3 on the first frame:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
thing.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doClick);

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 load an SWF using a simple loader but it changes the main applications x/y position and size.Which loader do I use to load an swf that will maintain the position size of my app?

var UIDesigner:UIComponent = new UIComponent();

In a Flex Mobile project I have a simple itemRenderer where I'm trying to create an "bubble" texting effect, similar to ichat or iphone (just so you get what im going for). But if the text is longer than the screen it runs off, rather than just going down a line.
If I set Group thats holding the rectangle(to create the bubble effect) and the label to 100% it works and keeps it from exceeding the list containers bounds, BUT the group is always at 100% and looks bad, I'm trying to keep the "bubble" JUST AROUND the text.
Anyway so, at the top of my itemRenderer I tried specifying:
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="100%" height="100%">
And here's my layout I figured since msg_container has a width of 100% I was hoping bubble_lable_group would just not exceed that but...it doesnt...it just runs off. I tried setting a max width but that does not allow you to input percents. And just to say it 1 more time. I know if i set bubble_lable_group width to 100% it works, and keeps it from going off the edge, but then the rectangle "bubble" stretches all the way across and just looks bad.
<s:VGroup id="main_container" horizontalAlign="left" paddingBottom="10" paddingTop="10"
verticalAlign="top" width="100%">

I came across a problem where my flash timer keeps changing position as the browser window is resized or if the user scrolls down the page the timer will move with it?It also changes position on different monitor screens.Is there an easy way without too much code to position it at a certain position on my page :[URL]As you can see its too low and should be in line with 'Comming soon'Im also using Dreamweaver if that makes a difference.

I use the following function to move a mc to a certain y position. When that y position is reached the mc goes back to it's original position:
Code:
function moveInOut (clip, yPos, speed){
var yStart = clip._y ;
var yTarget = yPos;
clip.onEnterFrame = function (){
var dY= yTarget - this._y;
[Code] .....
But I don't want the mc going back to it's original position but to a completely different y position to create kind of a bounce effectHow to accomplish that?

I want to make a movie clip move left continuously and smoothly on rollover then on rollout i want it to be able to move it back to its original position with an ease. The problem is getting it to remember the position it finished in on rollover. How can i do it with actionscript?
I want to do it all with actionscript because I did it with frame labels and tweens first of all but its not smooth enough, it jumps in certain points because it cant remember how far left it moved on the rollover.

I can have the parent move the position of the child by adjusting its _x and/or _y. The child can move itself along the x axis by using _parent[childname]._x = but I can't get it to move along the y axis using _parent[childname]._y = , it just doesn't move.

I have a question about moving and animated player symbol to the mouse location on a MouseDown event. Right now I have it set up to do an easing so that I can control how fast the player moves to the location. Problem is that it is done with easing. I don' t like the easing because the velocity of starts really fast and then slows down before it reaches the mouseX and mouseY location. I would like just a plain ol' stroll from the player location to the mouse location on the MouseDown event. Here is my code:

I had coded a different file similar to this and had a movieclip move along the x axis relative to where the mouse position is.
The idea is the movie clip is a panoramic photograph (eg. 6000x900) and it would move dependant on where the mouse it. ie. if mouse is in the centre it will be stationary and when it moves left and right the image will move accordingly (faster when further away from the centre).
The code below works moving the movieclip's x position but when I try and do it with TweenLite (using the quotations for relative positioning) the movieclip snaps immediately to -107374182.4
ActionScript Code:
import com.greensock.easing.*
import com.greensock.*
[Code]....
There is obviously something fundamental I am missing but cant see it at the minute. I had this working previously but then tried to progress it and write my own class for the panning (that now turns out I do not have time for) but I saved over the code and cant not go back.
I have put together an example zip with a .fla and the greensock tweening platform.

I am working with a block of dynamic text that is being loaded from an external text file. Imagine it looks like this:
Image 1:
Some text here.
Image 2:
Some text here.
Image 3:
Some text here.
You get the idea. This text is in a scrolling text box. What I'd like to happen is when the function gotoImage2() is executed, the text scrolls the down to Image 2 so that it is at the top of the text box. Make sense? Seems like a variable needs to be embedded in the text file, but I have no idea how to do the rest. I also can't get any of my custom scollers to work. They all embed the text in a masked mc. Is this the only way to scroll dynamic text? Any good pointers to smooth text scroller tutorials I'm using Studio 8.

Is there any way in flash in which i can control the position of the mouse? i need to be able to reset the mouse to a predefined position, but when i do _xmouse=value nothing happens and if i am using mouse._hide and have a movieclip instead of the mouse and do mc._x=value the movie clip goes to my position but as soon as i move the mouse it goes back to the previous position... i need a way to control the ACTUAL "ms windows" position of the mouse ... maybe with Javascript?

I have a horizontal scrollbar. I want this scrollbar to move a movie clip left and right on the screen.I cannot figure out what I am doing. In one example I'm looking at, it has the script on the button of the slider:
onClipEvent(mouseMove){
_root.vPosition = _root.SliderMC.ButtonSliderMC._y * 5 / 6;
}
I can't figure out the math for my scrollbar. How do I find the fraction that is in this part of the script? The numbers are not matching up for me. I also can't get my slider to go left to right. It keeps going down. And my image that is suppose to be scrolling the with slider is not even moving.

I'm creating a strip of 6 characters horizontally - 3 will fit on the screen at any one time, with the option to flick the mose left or right to scroll and see the rest. I'm after a tute that covers moving the mouse left and right, and shifting a movie clip in the opposite direction (only along the x axis), with easing, and depending how far from the center of the screen the cursor is.

I have this script, that zooms and fades the movieclip but I also need to shift the position slightly from the start state to the end state. For example var startX = 60 var endX = 70 so when the zoom start it starts at x = 60 and slowly moves as it zooms out to x = 70.

I'm trying to make some manual transitions. Because I don't know AS3, and I'm building this from the help of Google, I've started with a simple "blind" transition just to figure out the works.
The issue is that when I expand the width, it seems as though all my AS3 created sprites seem to reset their x position, and sit on the left. That or 15 of the tweens aren't working.
Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
function vBlinds(){
var tweens:Array=new Array(16);

Im a 100% beginner in actionscript so heres my question, as dumb as it may sound.
I want a shape to travel from px 0 on the x-axis to px 740.
The startposition on the y-axis needs to be random, and between 140 and 180.
I have tried the following code:
startY = Math.round(Math.random()*(180-140)+140);
startX = 0;
targetX = 740;

The selector mark is suposed to "mark" the selection on the menu after a selection is pressed. But Im having problems with the X and y coordinates and scales of the MC and when I click on the option, the MC gets smaller and then bigger to the size I want. Its suposed change scale and position but its not working like it is suposed to work. Im not sure either if I�m setting the Mc on the initial x and y coordinates.

I'm totally new to ActionScript and don't really know what I'm doing yet! I have an assignment due Thursday and one of the things I'm currently stuck on is: I'm trying to get the water in a beach scene to gradually move down the screen until it fills the screen (and then the game will be over). At the moment I'm trying to do this using a timer event, is this right?
