Flash :: Movieclip.width Returns Higher Value Than Movieclip Stage On Width?
Mar 8, 2010
I have a Movieclip on stage with nested movieclips inside. All referenced at 0,0. None of the child movieclips load any dynamic content, animate or have Masked Layers. It does have an input textfield in one of the child MCs. The parent MC shows 280 px width, while it returns 313 px with a .width trace. There is no code that alters the .width value of the parent MC at run-time. And the ParentMC on stage is not scaled (it is at 100% width/height)

trace ("The Width is: " + stage.width + "."); trace ("The Height is: " + stage.height + "."); The Width is: 0. The Height is: 0. Why is it Zero instead of the document's size ?

how to get a movieclip named "topnav" to resize it's width to match that of the stage. I am trying to resize the width of a top nav bar across a resizable RIA. I have started with the following code but with only partial success:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeListener);
function resizeListener (e:Event):void {
var reg2 = stage.stageWidth / 100;

Is there any performance difference? I am scaling a 2000 - 4000 wide movieclip, within a 600 wide stage. Does it matter which way I scale it in terms of CPU usage;
myMovieClip.scaleX *= 2;
or
myMovieClip.width *= 2;
The movieclip will be scaled multiple times and to varying sizes.

I'm working on a fullscreen site for a client. I have a rectangle movie clip that needs to match the stage width and then animate across the stage. Here's the link to the current non fullscreen page,[URL] I need the gray bar to go all of the way across the screen. Here is the code I'm using to fullscreen the site:
Code: Select allfunction stageResize(e:Event):void {
var sw:int=int(stage.stageWidth);
var sh:int=int(stage.stageHeight);
[code]...
use code to set the registration point to the top left and position it to the left of the stage, then set the width to match the stage, and then animate it across the stage, but I'm not sure if that's right or how to do it if it is.

I have a problem animating the preloader of the site I've been working on. I want a movie clip (a dark grey rectangle) to start at width = 0 and then extend to the width of the stage. But it just doesn't move, it preloads perfectly but doesn't really extend with the progress event.
Here's the code:
loadBar_mc.width = 0
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("Bnaider.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void {

I know normally if I want to center a movie clip I would
mcName._x = Stage.width / 2; or * 0.5;
mcName._y = Stage.height /2; or * 0.5;
my problem is I'm using a component that changes the width and height, but the real problem is that the registration point of the component is the top left. I know I seen code somewhere that gets the width of the movieclip, figures out where the center is then positions it accordingly but I'm not quite sure how it's done.

is there a way to make a minimum width and stop resize? I have a menu I am building that is locked to the bottom of the browser and 3 buttons on the left and a movieClip on the right. When you resize the browser window - currently - you can make the button on the right sink under the three on the left.

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

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...

My Stage size is 126*62. (it's a small animation).- When I publish the .SWF, no problem.- When I publish a projector .EXE file for windows, then, the width is still correct, but the height is higher than 62 : I got two small white bands beside top and bottom of my stage,see ?I don't understand why there's such a difference between publishing a SWF or EXE. And I'm afraid this also happens whatever the Stage size is (small or big, I mean) : you always get these blank bands on the top and the bottom, don't you ?

On the stage I have a movieclip (Container, originally 200px width) and inside it with a progressbar movieclip (originally 700px width), scaled with Free Transform Tool to fit the parent container. The width of the container changes run-time while resizing the scene.
In ActionScript I have a function which should set the progress bar width according to a calculated percentage value:
private function updateProgress(event:TimerEvent):void
{
var barWidth:int = _container.width;
var progress:Number = _stream.time / _stream.duration * barWidth;
_progressBar.width = progress;
}
My problem is that the progressBar even at full time (100%) is only at 1/4 of the parent container. I assume that it comes from the symbols original size.
Can I correct this programatically, or I must redesign it with the "designer"?

I have a MC in an AS3 animation and I want to increase its height from bottom to top which would mean that the registration point should be bottom of the MC and center of width (horizontal center).

I am a newbie in Flash CS3. How to resize the width of of a movie clip according to the size the size of dynamic text inside it. I did it by creating a text field 'myText' and then converted it to a MovieClip symbol and named the MovieClip as myClip. The text in myText is assigned at run-time and its width changes according to the text.
I did it as follows:-
myClip.myText.selectable = false;
myClip.mouseChildren = false;
myClip.useHandCursor = true;
myClip.buttonMode = true;
myClip.myText.width = myClip.myText.textWidth + 5;
On doing this I find the clickable area changes according to the size of the text field but the text field doesn't appear at all.

a movie clip symbol is designed and subclassed in Flash, but get instanced and addChild-ed in AS3. It works well as long as I don't change it's width/height property (scaling works too), but if i do, it disappears

I have placed 3 movieclips named mcParent, mcChild1, mcChild2 and 1 textbox in flash. child are childrens of parent movie clip. child1 and child2 both are of sizes 300 whereas parent movieclip is 600px, textbox is placed inside child2 movie clip .
I have made the flash to auto resize according to the screen area. Everything works well, but after resize it resizes parent and all childrens and textbox which is correct. The problem is with the correct placement of textbox on mcChild2. I have seen that after resize, mcParent width and scalex both changes but the child clips doesn't changed its sizes even they are stretched but there sizes are not updated due to which I am unable to get the exact location of where to place the textbox.

I have a 50x50 fixed rectangle in the center of the stage. I am using this rectangle as a "hit area" to copy pixels of a bitmap that is draged by the user to line up an area of the image he/she would like to crop.I have preview of the hit area displayed while the bm is being dragged which works well. However, once the bitmap is scaled using the slider component the preview area no longer reflects what is in the hit area.
Code below:
function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent):void

I have mc1 which contains code to dynamically generate multiple textfields based on an xml file, but mc1 has nothing physically on its timeline. I want to make another mc, mc2, where its y location is relative to the height of mc1, but when I trace the height of mc1 it returns 0.
Is there any way to get a height based on however many textfields are dynamically loaded into mc1? The height will naturally be varying so I can't just create a variable for a constant height.

I am having some trouble with some Movieclip, whenever I try detecting the MC's width, it always display zero for some reason. On the 2nd frame, the following function will start loading. After the initial turn, I have another condition statement to check whether it should go to another frame or not. If it's staying in this frame, it will load this function again, and the temp_counter will increases.
tel_phrase_holder is just a dynamic textfield I use to display the width only.
function tel_load () {
tel_holder.removeChildAt(0);
var a = new Loader();
tel_holder.addChild(a);
a.load(new URLRequest(tel_pic_start[temp_counter - 1]));
tel_phrase_holder.text = tel_holder.width.toString();}
I tried putting "tel_phrase_holder.text = tel_holder.width.toString();" at the beginning as well like I did at the following code. It's slightly better, but it's loading the previous picture's width instead of the current picture's width.

setting a rectangle movieclip instance's width to 20 at the very start, before the ENTER_FRAME function is fired, but the width remains 20 throughout. I've tried different methods, here are two examples.Here's a simplified, short example:
Actionscript Code:
var rect_mcW:Number = rect_mc.width; //store original widthrect_mc.width = 20; //then set the rectangle's width to 20rect_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, growRect);function
[code]....
Ok, so the rect_mc's width remains 20 for each ENTER_FRAME event, even though the event listener function should grow it, but doesn't.One other way I tried was wrapping the 20 width inside a function:
Actionscript Code:
// opening statements omitted for brevity//first call to addEventListener:rect_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, init_width); //on first
[code]....
this second example yields the same result, the rect_mc width remains 20 even Though I thought the event listener that calls the function that sets it to 20 is removed first thing in the second event listener.
So, I assume it's because the code is read from top, and the code that sets width to 20 gets read and executed over and over. But still, shouldn't the growing part also take place over and over? What I want obviously is to store the original width, but start the animation with a width of 20, but just once.

The task I'm gonna perform should be pretty simple: Inside an object I've created ,which extends MoviClip, I pickup a movieclip that stands on main timeline (root) with the getChildByName() method. Once I picked up the Movieclip I would like to read the width of the movieclip and here comes the problem. The movieclip is composed by two level: A mask level (169px width) and another level with an image of 331px width. When I attempt to get the width of the movieclip it returns the unmasked movieclip width (331px) instead of the maksed size(169px). I also tried with the getBounds() method but it returns the same value.
The movieclip is masked within flash (not through actionscript). A possible solution would be giving a name to the mask inside the movieclip and then perform another getChildByName and read the size of the mask, but this wouldn't be a very clear solution (also because I will have to deploy this to another people not very familiary to flash , so they might forgot to properly name the mask and all this kind of program. The best solution would remain automatically detecte the masked width of the movieclip).
I would like to understand why flash consider the whole Movieclip content width disregard the applied mask.

I'm working in Flash Builder 4.5 in pure Actionscript 3.0
I have a movieclip (swc) , I am doing the following :
_visualItem.bgMiddle.height = 200;
bgMiddle is an independant clip only has a single shape in it. On debugging the height remains the same (2.2) but the width changes to 5111. Haven't been able to track it down.

I am creating a minesweeper copy, and i've bumbed into a problem, which I and a fellow programmer finds quite strange.
My code is set up like this: Initializer.as (Just a temp. initializer.(duh)). This creates a new gameGrid, and passes x and y number of blocks, as well as the size.
GameGrid.as (movieclip) This is the board. This controls the whole game, which are filled with:
Block.as (movieclip) Represents a block. Has a size parameter in its contructor, which are the exact same size as the one in GamGrids contructor. For non-mines, a textfield is added as a child. When a flag is set, the block adds a child:
Flag.as (movieclip) Same size in its contstructor.
In the library (in Flash CS5), every movieclip has the same width (60px).
Now, the problem is that the text, bombs and flags are only in the same size as the blocks when i set the size to '57'. If it's lower than 57, the bombs etc. are even lower. At ~30, they're half the size. At 130, its almost the double.
Here's the classes (with some comments):
Initializer
Code:
package {
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
public class Initializer {
private var stg:DisplayObjectContainer;

say I have a movie clip that's 20 by 20. then, with actionscript, i increase that movieclip's width to 40. is there a way to update the scale of the clip so that the movieclip's _xscale represents the new 40 by 20 rectangle rather than the original 20 by 20 box?

(when I don't add the width and height, I can see the pictures) Here's a little part of the code.
Code:
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.width=300;
mc.height=100;
