Flash :: Calculate The X & Y Coords - Width And Height Of Specific Piece Of Text Inside A PDF Document
Oct 28, 2010
On my website, I display uploaded PDF files in a flash player for my users to read. I already use various tools to extract the text and produce a serious of high quality images from the file and the system works well. The last piece of the puzzle is to be able to highlight specific parts of the document to help users with accessibility issues.
However I cannot figure out how to calculate where the specific text is positioned on the page? Notes: The documents uploaded to the system are from 3rd parties, so fonts may be embedded. Meaning that I cannot be sure of the width of specific letters. The text to be highlighted may not be unique, the same text may be repeated How can I calculate the coordinates, height and width of a specific piece of text on a PDF, so that I can then draw a box around it?

I am tweeing a bunch of rectangles randomly on stage.
Code:
TweenLite.to(thumbArr[i],1,{
x:Math.random () * (stage.stageWidth - thumbArr[i].width),
y:Math.random () * (stage.stageHeight - thumbArr[i].height),
rotation: Math.random () * (60) - 30});
the problem is that after I added random rotation (between -30 and 30 degrees), the corners of my rectangles are still sticking out of the stage at the end of the tween.
If I trace objects width and height after the rotation I get the new values but this still doesnt help me because I am tweening to that rotation.
Code:
mc.rotation = 20;
trace(mc.width);
trace(mc.height);

I am tweeing a bunch of rectangular shaped objects randomly on stage.
Code:
TweenLite.to(thumbArr[i],1,{
x:Math.random () * (stage.stageWidth - thumbArr[i].width),
y:Math.random () * (stage.stageHeight - thumbArr[i].height),
rotation: Math.random () * (60) - 30});
the problem is that after I added a random rotation between -30 & 30 degrees they still stick out of the stage a little.how could I calculate width & height of the these objects based on their final rotation so they dont stick out of the stage?

I am working on a 3d zoom function. How can I calculate it it best? I have a placeholder_mc:
width: 400
height:400
_x:0
_y:0
In the placeholder_mc I have 10 obj_mc's:
orig width:400, scaled in placeholder_mc: _xscale=20
orig height:400, scaled in placeholder_mc: _yscale=20
the _x and _y are random positions
Now I need a formula that make the placeholder_mc zoom into obj_mc inside and the placeholder_mc must be _xscaled, _yscaled so that the width and height of the clicked _mc are exactly 400x400.
for the _x and _y I use.. onEnterframe=
placeholder_mc._x=placeholder_mc._x+(placeholder_m c.obj_mc._x-placeholder_mc._x)/8;
placeholder_mc._y=placeholder_mc._y+(placeholder_m c.obj_mc._y-placeholder_mc._y)/8;
So this makes the placeholder_mc move to the correct position of the clicked object but how can I scale it now the placeholder_mc so that he moves and scales correct?

I am trying to reference to top level (stage) width and height of the main stage for the placement of something located inside a movieclip on the stage.
My code is:
Code:
my_loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - my_loader.width)/2;
my_loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - my_loader.height)/2;
But this seems to just relate to the width/height of the mc that my_loader is nested in...
I have tried the following and had no luck:
stage.stage.stageWidth
root.stage.stageWidth
parent.stage.stageWidth
MovieClip(root).stage.stageWidth

Does anyone know how to get the width and height in ActionScript for a Flex application running inside the flash player in the web browser.
e.g. In the web browser I can use the tag to embed a Flex application (as a .swf). To the embed tag, I can provide the dimensions. I would like to get these dimensions inside the flex application action script.

Waht is the right way to get 3D coords from 2D mouse coords using Away3D. (version 3.6.0) It's ambigoius problem in general, so there is restriction that 3D point belongs to some fixed plane.
There are some examples with camera.unproject and plane.getIntersectionLineNumbers methods, but they don't work if camera is rotated or plane is not trivial.

I would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?

We are trying to get a Rectangle that represents the exact* boundary of the text in a TextField.
*Exact as possible.
Take this image:
Using my current knowledge, I can retrieve the blue rectangle above like so:
var textRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(
field.x,
field.y,
[Code]....
Even if I fill a small section with the color I'm looking for I still get a zero-sized rectangle:
bmd.fillRect(new Rectangle(0, 0, 30, 30), textField.textColor);

I am looking at the SimpleButton entirely wrong. Here's what I'm doing (inside of a MovieClip):

the close_btn.width and height remain 0. Am I supposed to just rely on the DisplayObject members of the SimpleButton completely and ignore width/height/x/y or what?

I'm trying to edit an HTML that uses swfobject to load a flash file.
What I'm trying to do is to reduce the size of the SWF file.
I've tried editing the height and width parameter within the swfobject(), but that didn't work.
I tried reducing the width height in the HTML css, but that also didn't work..
How can I pass a 'width' or a 'height' parameter to the swfobject so it will actually load the swf in a smaller or 'zoomed out' way?

I have many dropdowns in my flex application. Now I want to set rowCount property so that as many rows as possible so there is less scrolling when see the dropdown items.The flex application was running on a popup window. So I think I have to know the distance from dropdown to bottom border of window, and then calculate what number should be for the rowCount. Like Height/per row height.As I known, the dropdown.y is the relative y coordinate of itself. But my dropdown has many parent UI layout component, and also I have many dropdowns, it is hard to calculate one by one.

I'm loading a flash MovieClip (Test.swf) like below. The problem is I can't read the size of mc (mc.width and mc._width both return 0, for the height as well), but I need to scale it. I have the stage size, I can scale, but I don't have the size of Test.swf, so I can't scale it to fit into the stage... ActionScript2, not actionscript3. If it was 3, I could get the value from the loader, but with as2??? The problem is I don't have control over the swf I load, so I can't put it's dimensions in the first frame...
