Can I use actionscript to change the size of a displayed object based on 2 objects proximity?
As in the closer 2 objects get, the bigger another one gets?
I am currently creating an explorable comic. The problem being the explorable part.Essentially I'm trying to scroll the "screen" in order to explore the comic, the comic being just one massive picture. To do this I figure I need to move the picture in relation to where the mouse is to a centre point, So the further away the mouse gets from the centre point the faster the image moves in the opposite direction.
View 1 RepliesI would like to scale a movie clip based on how close the mouse gets to it, but flash slows when there are a ton of these. I'm looking for a new method
onMouseMove = function(){
var dx:Number = this._x - _parent._xmouse;
var dy:Number = this._y - _parent._ymouse;

So I have seen this done a million times in as2, but its basically what the mac OSX doc uses... but I can't seem to figure it out in as3. All I what need to do is have like 8 MC's get a little bit larger based on distance.

View 4 RepliesI have a textfield that is filled by a querystring.
example: http://www.domainname.com?dName=Michael+&+Mary+Heatherbaum
myTextfield.text=myQueryStrings.dName.toUpperCase();
If the persons name is only 3 letters I want the font size to be 120 but based on the amount of characters, I would like to shrink the font size in order to fit the whole name inside the text field. I was playing with autosize, but couldn't get it to work.

how to get something to happen according to the mouse's proximity to an object? like say i have a square & i want that square to get bigger the closer the mouse gets to it... how would one do that?
View 1 RepliesBasically I am followinga book to learn flash animation for the first time. I am o'animating objects that change size' chapter. Here are the isntructions and tutorials for me to do:
1 create a new Flash Document
2. On the stage, ceate a new object in Frame 1.
3. With Frame 1 selected, choose Insert > Create Motion tween. (Flash turns your object into a symbol) There are more steps, but the reason why I stopped here is because whenever I create a motion tween from the insert menu, the object that is on the stage ends up not able to move and I get the following message: The current selection in layer 'layer 1' is a tween span which does not support drawing I don't have a clue what this means,
I need to have a color key that changes color in relation to how close/far the user drags a movie clip from the correct area. For example, if I have a circle_mc and want the user to drag it within a bounded area (trapezoid in this case), as the dragged mc gets closer to the correct area (a circle perhaps) the color of the color key box changes along a continuum from red (wrong/far) toward green (correct/close)

View 2 RepliesI'm doing a little drag and drop work and I'm wondering if it's possible to change the size of an object when it is dragged over another object on the stage..
For example I would like to drag a square movieclip around, but when it is dragged over a certain object it either play the movieclip and 'morph' into a rectangle or simply become rectangular (using a frame label or something) !
Is it possible to do this sort of thing with hitTestObject or hitTestPoint or dropTarget without contiuously checking if the objects are in contact ?

is there a way to have (the postion of) objects be dependant of another one? I have attached a simple .fla file with two boxes (MovieClips) that grow in height. Since the position of the bottom box is constant, the top box soon expands "into" the one below so that parts of it are hidden. What I want is that the gap between those two objects stays constant (in this case 50px). So, is there any way to make the position of one object dependant on (the size of) another? Or is there any other "workaround"/tip you can give me?
View 18 RepliesThis is in AS2 and should really be quite simple. I have a populated list box control that may or may not have an item selected. When the user enters some data in one of the data fields on the screen and then moves to another field, a database access is performed which returns some data which is used to populate other fields on the screen.
As part of this the item in the list box is selected based upon a code returned from the database. All so well and good. However, I cannot get the list box to move it's 'display window' to the position of the selected item. Ie I want the selected item to become the first item displayed in the list box. (Note: NOT the first item of the list box...
I can't get code in my button to change the values displayed in my dynamic text boxes. I have a column of twelve dynamic text boxes which display numbers stored in an array. The array contains more than twelve numbers. I want to use buttons to refresh the information in the boxes (effectively creating a scrolling effect) so that the remaining contents of the array can be revealed as required. In the code below Stats1 etc. refer to the dynamic text. The array is called Stats4display. This shows the information fine.[code]I had hoped that by incrementing the value of x I could update all the dynamic text boxes with the next value along in the array.

I want to reduce the size of Swf using the size mentioned in the object tag of html. Same swf file size can be different for different request.
The problem is this if we reduce the size all control in swf reduced according to the change in swf size. But we want the buttons and one more graphics remain same size for any change in size of swf file. How can we make it ..
How does that work? How come when I use "addChild(l);" (l being my Loader object), the SWF has already played to it's first stop point?How do I prevent that? It actually throws an error because of it.
View 4 RepliesI am looking to determine the final event or location where it could be determined that an Image, or a UIComponent, has been rendered to the user. I need to know when it has been displayed and thus is, presuming it's not covered up or at a silly location, visible to the user. In the UpdateComplete Event Documentation it says:
This is the last opportunity to alter the component before it is displayed. All properties have been committed and the component has been measured and layed out.Overriding the dispatchEvent on an Image shows that the UpdateComplete Event is the last one that it dispatches after an update of the .source property. Breakpointing and walking the code after that event shows that the LayoutManager seems to finish with it's actions before the Image is displayed.
I have watched the dispatchEvent on and updateDisplayList on the canvas container and no dice. I assume that there is some higher (lower) object that I might be able to extend or listen to that would give me that final piece of information.
NoisyImageTest.mxml - test application for watching the event loop. If you breakpoint at line 22 you see the last updateComplete event but the image is not yet displayed. Stepping through the code from there, it exits the thread after the LayoutManager but still has not updated the screen. I assume that there is a point where the systemManager or stage or some other item could say it drew the image.

Is there any way to get width/height of a loaded movie, excluding any area that is not displayed? My problem is that I am loading swfs to use as icons in a menu and am unable to get the desired width & height in order to calculate dynamic spacing based on how large the icons are. Most of the swfs where published with a document size of say 50 pixels x 50 pixels but some vary in dimensions. When I access the width or height property of the swf, I get a value that includes objects in the swf that fall out of bounds of the size set in the fla. Basically I get values that include areas that are effectively masked. So my 50x50 icon (that displays just fine), gets me a width of 63x86 or something like that. My sloppy workaround that I would like to replace was that I republished all of them with a extra property that I can read when I load them instead of using the width and height.

I want to replace the underlined part so that it refers to every instance of the dirt symbol without an insane number of iterations. From that, I plan to make the player capable of standing on each dirt symbol as they are being created, as well as move all of the dirt symbols with ease.
What I have is a game with a Level object, inside the Level is a Player object, and they don't have instance names given, what I'm trying to figure out is how to do is make it so that the player can change the x or y properties of the Level object.
To be more precise, I'm making it so that when the player moves in a certain direction, he either moves accross the stage, or he starts moving the Level object around the stage, it'd be in an Event kind of function, now I can easily make the Player move, but I don't know how to make the Level object move which the player is inside of.
