Flash :: Finding Correct Scope Of An Object For A Callback?
Dec 11, 2009I'm working on writing a tweening class in as2 that has a callback variable and I can't seem to find a good way to get the scope without specifically passing in a scope variable as well. This tweening class needs to work in classes as well as on the timeline. Here's what my codes looks like right now.params.scope[ params.onComplete ]( params.onCompleteParams );params is an object passed into the class. This works but I don't want to have params.scope in there.

Mar 30, 2010i've been working on a problem for a while now, which involves targeting the closest movieClip in relation to the x y coords of the mouse, I've attached a nice little acompanying graphic.Each mc added to the stage has it's own sub-class (HotSpots) which uses Pythag to measure distance from mouse. At this stage i can determine the closest value from my Main class but can't figure out how to reference it back to the movieclip... hope this makes sense.

Dec 31, 2010i was wondering if there was something that allowed you to grab any 2d point that exists inside a movieclip and grab the 3d position of that exact point...
for example i have a rectangle movieclip on the stage .. and its rotate on the x axis 75 degrees.. registration of the clip is at bottom middle.. so when it rotates the bottom stays in the same spot and everything rotates around it..
now what if i wanted to know the exact x,y,z of the top edge of the clip..
is there a function similar to localToGlobal that would take the x,y coordinate inside the clip and spit back a global 3d point .. (i guess its called a Vector3D)

Jul 9, 2009I have a Flash file below and I am wondering what is the best way to do clicking on multiple objects. I know it has something to do with a parent and it's children, but I'm still unsure. My current code for the parent movieclip is:
Code:
maskItems.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkMask);
function checkMask (e:MouseEvent):void {
if (e.currentTarget.tote) {
trace("hi");
}
}
That traces hi as long as the Parent is clicked, not the child. make all the children trace something if clicked?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Fetch XY Of A Parent By Clicking On A Child Movieclip?
May 20, 2010I have a movie clip viz. A. Inside that I have another movie clip viz. B. Now A has an event listener which returns its X, Y on mouse down, which in turn is used to magnify A taking those X,Y as the center point. B has its own event listener, one for changing color on mouse over and other to show a pop-up on mouse down.
Problem: When i click anywhere inside A, not covered by B, there is no problem fetching X,Y. But if i click on B, which is covering some area of A, it doesn't work. Simply because the event on B is probably not letting the event of parent to fire. Even if i write to fetch X,Y on mouse down of B, it returns its own X,Y and not of the parent, i.e. A. Because of this, the magnification doesn't work accurately in cases where child movie clip is obstructing an area of parent movie clip.

View 1 RepliesFinding Where An Instance Of An Object Is Placed?
Mar 7, 2011I need to find an instance of a movieclip that is on my flash file. It is really big and uses a lot of memory. It says on the number of times used that there is one instance of the object on the flash file, but I can't find it. I thought I deleted them all but there must be one left. How do I go about finding it? It's a really large flash file with many layers, and I don't want to just delete the library file. Is there any way I can find where the object is placed in my file?
View 2 RepliesFinding Object At X And Y Coordinates
Oct 16, 2009We have a client server architecture where a C++ server talks to Flash clients. I'm developing the server and would like to send through tcp an xy coord to simulate a button press where the receiving flash client would find the topmost visible object at that coord and send a mouse event to it such that we could simulate play without a human present. I'm told this is incredibly difficult, but it seems to me that there must be a way to do this. Am I off the mark? Or is there a mechanism in flash to iterate through all objects regardless of parent child relationships to find a visible button at an x, y coord and signal a press event?

View 5 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Finding All References To An Object?
Aug 12, 2009* Is it possible to create weak references to objects (like theventListener/EventDispatcher is able to do) so that if they are removed, you won't be stuck keeping a reference and taking up space to something that should be garbage collected?* Is there any way to find out how many active variables are referencing a certain object? This would be handy to actually create weak references, since, if you for example, have a static array containing all objects created in that class, you can do a regular check to see if there is only one remaining reference, and if so, you can safely remove it.
* Also, might there be any way to list the entire space (one big chunk of binary data, most likely) of every variable currently running in the program, all references, basically, what Flash is currently storing in RAM?I'm pretty sure that Flash (as crappy and lacking as it is in so many areas) does not have anything like any of these built in, but hopefully there is at least something.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding Absolute Position Of An Object
Feb 25, 2012I'm often finding a need to get a stage-relative position of objects in my game, which are often buried several layers deep as children of children of children, etc, often with differently scaled/moved/rotated parents. The position i want isn't quite relative to the stage, but a main holder object i have on it called lvlHolder (see code below). I wrote a function to deal with it that recurses up the display list, accounting for each object as it goes, to get a global position. It's worked so far, but one thing it doesn't account for is rotation. I'm finding a need for that now, and i'm not sure how to account for rotation of objects, to rotate offsets from them,
My function is below. how i should enhance it to accomodate for the rotation of each parent object? Also any tips on optimisation would be good, as i'm using this a LOT (roughly twice per frame, per object, for physics calculations) I'm also wondering, in similar situations i've seen something related to transform matrices used

Flash Layers Move To Right When Child Object Is Resized
Jun 10, 2009I am having a problem with a flash piece that I created. I don't understand why it is doing what it is doing. I am new to flash but I have been developing software and database applications for over 10 years.I am trying to make a horizontal scroller piece that reads in data from an xml document. So basically the XML has properties of image, title, and link, I then load the images and titles into an object spaced out properly and link the image to open a new window when the image is clicked. I have 4 layers:
1. Actions
2. Buttons
3. Layer1
4. Scroller
The buttons layer has 2 buttons on it, one left aligned and one right aligned. When you mouse over the buttons, the images in the scroller move the direction the button image is pointing. The Scroller Layer has an object of type scroller (which i made) and that scroller instance name is scrollerbar.In actionscript I use a sprite object to load the image and then use scrollerbar.addChild(photo) to add the sprite into the scrollerbar. Then I set it's width, height, x and y to be in the correct position.Now when this first runs, it works displays 6 images and titles and they are linked, and has a button on the left and right. When I mouseover either of the buttons, everything gets moved to the right, the buttons, the scroller, and all the images inside the scroller. So the left button is no longer against the left side, and you can hardly see the right button because it almost gets pushed outside the viewable area.Can anyone explain why everything is getting pushed over like that? It only happens the first time you mouse over a button, subsequent mouseovers of either button do not cause this to happen again.[code]
