I thought I had a handle on AS3, DisplayObjectContainers, etc. but this basic thing is really confusing me: changing the width/height of a sprite does not affect it's visual contents - either graphics drawn within it or any children it may have.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have created a custom component - MyImage - that has two children including a Bitmap as well as a Sprite.My display object hierarchy is as follows -
mx:Canvas
view:MyImage
mx:Bitmap
[code].....
Is there any possibility to change screen width and height not in Flash ( in Properties ), but in Code [ any AS3 line? ].

I have a movieclip that has a 1px wide line by 10px high. Im trying to resize that line with tweenlite, however when i change the height it makes it wider too... How can i do this and keep the line 1px?

When the Tween takes place though it not only changes the width, it changes the height as if it were scaling it up in both directions. Why does this behavior take place? And how can I get it so that only the width changes? I have also tried using scaleX as the property but it does the same thing.
how can I change the height and width of stage dynamically. I tried it with the following code:
Stage.height = 250;
Stage.width = 250;
during the run time. Initially the Stage is at a height and width of 370 and 450 respectively. Also when I tried to trace the height and width of Stage after resizing the stage width and height, its showing the old value of width and height. That means the width and height not chnaging.
I am trying to change the width and height of instances of a symbol programmatically. Basically, the symbol contains a few colored rectangles, a bitmap, and some text. I want to change the height and width of each instance of the symbol based on how low the text string is that is in the instance's text field, but the bitmap's size should always stay the same, 24x24 pixels.[code]The problem is that using this code seems to scale everything up, including the bitmap. I have tried to programmatically add the 24x24 pixel bitmap to the symbol programmatically after I changed the height, but it still seems to be scaled..

View 1 RepliesI develop some components where I use movie clips as skin. In the scene I have 2 movie clips with width 200px and height 100px, one of them I change the width to 200px and height to 100px, well, it should remain the size as nothing happens but it doesn't. The movie clip that I change the size through as3 it's actually getting smaller, and more strange, it only happens when the movie clip has an Outline. The file is attached. It's Flash CS4.
View 2 Repliesi have a movieclip (hairline stroke) and after changing its width or height it disappears...
View 1 Repliesa 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
View 2 RepliesI 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

View 0 RepliesI 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?

I've got a container(sprite) with children(sprites) added to it. When I scale the container, I would like to get the new width of a child, but when I trace the children's width I always get the original dimensions, even though everything gets visually scaled as it should. How do I overwrite the children-width ?
Update: I just found out that the children.graphics-"dimensions" could have caused the problem. When I leave the graphics, everything seems ok. Is it possible to scale the graphics at same time as the child-sprite?
I'm trying to set up a form that presents a combobox when an ArrayCollection it's bound to has several items, and doesn't present one when it's empty or only has one item.

View 1 RepliesI have an actionscript, which makes a dynamic image wall. It gets parameters from FlashVar and changes the width and height dynamically.
When I use
[SWF(width="584",height="290")]
It's fully centered, but when I remove it, it's appear ~+50px from left. How can I set dynamically the SWF metadata or what I need to set for the correct view?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to set width/height of a FlexSprite object in ActionScript but it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm still a rookie when it comes to ActionScript and I don't understand why I can't set the dimensions of that object. I know I could use a UIComponent but I need something more lightweight since I'm going to add hundreds of them.
public class MyComp extends UIComponent
{
public function MyComp()
{

I plan to add other objects inside the FlexSprite and I need to set their dimensions explicitly as well so I really need to figure out how to do that.
I am loading an external swf using the SWFLoader component. The swf that is being loaded is masked so that only a portion is being shown. However, when it's loaded the actual size of the swf (loader.content.width/loader.content.height) is the complete swf including the masked area. Therefore, the loaded swf does not display properly in the itemrenderer Is there a way to to grab the size of the just the masked area as opposed to getting the size of the entire swf's contents? also i need to re size the masked area

Why does changing the width and height of uiComp not affect the Sprite? Wouldn't UIComponent provide Sprite with a Graphics object, which limits that area where Sprite can draw?
In my Flex application, I've got a component that extends UIComponent where I'm loading images at runtime and try to display them. I've tried lots of different approaches (using beginBitmapFill(), using different containers), but I can't get things to work as I want. The problem seems to be related to the width and height properties of the image, which aren't updated correctly.The idea is:
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(sprite);
var im:Image = new Image();[code].....
The image's width and height doesn't seem to be correct when it's loaded. I get width==0 (and nothing is displayed), but the property $width seems to be correct. How can I assure that width and height of the loaded image is updated?

View 2 RepliesI'm playing around with code like this:
<s:Button id="test" label="test" transformX="{Math.floor(test.width/2)}" rotationY="20" x="20" y="20" />
The button is rotated on the Y axis and the rotate pivot is in the middle of the button.
This will create a button that looks something like this[code]...
I put together a sample to show off the various approaches for calculating this that people are suggesting. The source code is also available. Nothing is quite working like I'd expect. For example, turn the rotationSlider to 85. The button is effectively invisible, yet all approaches are still giving it height and width.
Is it possible to dynamically (not in the project's options) change the dimensions of the stage by using ActionScript 3? I'd want to create a 400x300px loader, but I also want it to load animations that have bigger or smaller dimensions. I would then change the width and height of the loader to make the loaded animations fit well. Is there any way to do that?
