Have any of you seen anyone use a measuring or dimensioning tool using Flash? I would like to have let's say a box. I would like a user to pick a measurement button and be able to click on the edges of the box and get its' dimensions.

View 2 RepliesI want to measure a portion of a textfield in pixels (let's say from index 3 through 10 in a 20 character textfield for example). Is there a method or simple way to do this or would I have to create a new temporary textfield and copy that portion over to the new textfield and measure it's width? I'd like to know because I've made style changes to the original textfield that affects it's pixel width and it would be a pain to make all the same style changes to the temporary text field just to measure it's width.

In the above code, I want to measure the time taken to display st on screen.Is it enough to compute time2 - time1? Or should I put an event handler on render? Or some other way?
I'd like to know a way to measure the real length of a text string in pixels. The problem is that every character has a different width.The length property informs us of how many characters does the string have...but how do we measure the pixels (x space) in a precise way?

View 2 RepliesI am using a scrollbar as demonstrated in OO scrollbar part 1 and have it working great, except that when you scroll the text, it seem to add a bunch of space at the end of the text field and then does not scroll back up to the top of the text field, but rather ends up in the middle.
Seems like it is somehow measuring the height of the text field at the wrong time? I would guess that it has the right height dimensions (due to the extra space at the bottom) but that it somehow is getting the wrong y coordinate. [code]...
Scenario: main moveiclip with 4 other clips in it. I want the rolledover clip to scale up and all the others to scale down and blur.
Question: What is the most effiecent way to code this. Would it be a "for in loop"? I am trying to minimize the code and would rather not use a whole bunch of if then statements.

View 5 RepliesHow can I convert the current scale of the instance to 100% so I can easily "visualize" and manage the instance when I modify its scale? Here's the actionscript, it works, but I just want the temp._xscale and temp._yscale to be in percentages, not real numbers.
Code:
USflag.onMouseDown = function ()

var temp = USflag;

I am using the draw() method of the BitmapData to encode a jpeg of part of the image. Now this should be easy enough given the object I want to draw to the bitmap is on the stage at design time so I know its location and dimetions exactly! Heres the code I have in place.
Code:
var myBitmapSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData ( street.width, street.height, false, 0x333333);
myBitmapSource.draw(street, null, null, null, new Rectangle( 96, 5, 571, 450 ), true );
I know for a FACT that no part of the street clip I am drawing out is in negative space, and it's registration is (0,0). However, it cuts off A lot of the top of my image. y=5 in the above rectangle is where I need the top to be, but it cuts the top off of the image... even if I change it to 0, it has no effect.
I'm making something that requires me to draw() the youtubeplayer Giving me this pretty error:

I'm trying to do some lean blitting for an object that rotates by rotating it once at startup and capturing a BitmapData snapshot of each 5 degrees. The problem I'm having is that the draw() method of the BitmapData object is only picking up pixels in the MovieClip that are below and to the right of the registration point. If I change the MC so that the registration point is in the top left corner, I sometimes get what looks like most of the pixels, but the entire object rotates into and out of the frame, since it's rotating around the corner and not the center.

View 1 RepliesI need to be able to draw a thick patterend line between 2 points in AS3, I can't use the draw API because it doesn't all me to actually put detail (pattern etc) into the thickness of the line, I thought about perhaps using the line to create a bitmap version and then using that as a mask, but I remember many years ago seeing some examples that use a movieclip as a source for a line.
View 1 RepliesI am having an issue with using BitmapData.draw(stage). I am getting the following error:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/bla...bla...bla.swf cannot access null. No policy files granted access. Here is a portion of my code:
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(2800, 2100); bd.draw(stage);//this is where the error happens All of the files referenced (.xml/.jpg/.swf) are located in the same local folder as the main .swf. How do I get around this error? The main objective is to print the stage using PrintJob(). I am using Flash Professional CS5.5 and publishing to Flash 10.0/10.1. Let me know if I need to supply any more info.

I am trying to use swfobject 2.2 to display an swf, but the swf won't scale to fit the div that I'm putting it in. You can see what I've got here. When it first loads, it is the right size, then it expands larger for some reason. If I right-click on the movie and select "Show All", it then fits perfectly.[code]

View 2 RepliesIt's been awhile since I've worked in as2 but I think I'm close to accomplishing this. I've got one mc to center itself in the browser and move with the browser size without scaling. What I'm trying to do now is get my background video to scale with the browser without affecting the centered mc. I've grabbed this code and altered from another source.

View 6 RepliesI have finished my Flash presentation which is set for a large monitor. My file is 1920x1080. How can I get the SWF to scale to a smaller monitor if needed? When I output an HTML file, (set at 100%) the file scales, but the rollover buttons only work on (Click) and the cursor doesn't change from the arrow to a hand. Is there a code that I can place within the action window?
