I'm adding a line to a canvas using canvas.moveTo(0, 0); canvas.lineTo(100, 100);, but I then want the user to move the mouse to set the rotation of the line.Google suggests using the rotation property,but I don't have a reference to the line object.Can I get a reference to the line or should I rotate the whole canvas?

The problem is that the movieclip rotates around the center. The textfield inside the movieclip is starting at 0,0. But it still rotates around the center, how can I make it rotate at 0,0?
I have a fla-file where the user can draw a line. I don?t know how to rotate this line properly. The line just moves around when I click the button to rotate. Is there a way to rotate a line created dynamicallyjust a bit?

The old method for the mx:TextArea no longer works. Specifically:
myMxTextArea.verticalScrollPosition = myMxTextArea.maxVerticalScrollPosition;
I've found this method for Spark but seems a bit kludgy:
mySparkTA.scrollToRange(mySparkTA.text.length-1, mySparkTA.text.length);
Is there a more straightforward way to do this?
When i click on a userlist, the function addTab is triggered:
private var counter:int = 0;
public function addTab():void {
var new vBox:VBox = new VBox();
var textBox:RichEditableText = new RichEditableText();

In another function i would like to add Rich Text to the newly created TextBox but I can not access it.
I tried getChildByName(vbox) & vbox.getChildByName(textBox) but that doesn't seem to work.
I am created a dynamically adding a VBox, that contains two images. Into a Custom Component that is derived from UIComponent. The problem is the Vbox that contains the two image is only a really tiny size. I would like the VBox stretch to the size of the two images. This is how I am creating the Vbox....

I am using FlashBuilder 4 and doing a simple application in flex. I am displaying a graph with 10 random values and based on the values I am trying to change the itemrenderer dynamically like CandlestickItemRenderer and BoxItemRenderer. Now my requirement was, if the values are > 10. I want to show my chart with CandlestickItemRenderer else i want to show the remaining spots as BoxItemRenderer. I am failing to do this. Either I am getting all the shapes as BoxItemRenderer or CandlestickItemRenderer. I am sending the code as a text file along with this.
View 1 Repliesin action script3, how we can rotate a line from both its vertices.. i mean if a line has two vertices say 1 and 2 . on holding the vertex 1 line should rotate with its axis on 2 and vice versa.

I am trying to load various swfs into a main swf. The initial swf loads in by default, the others load when buttons are clicked. All of the buttons also call a lengthy function called loadpic which appears later in the code - Currently the buttons load in the swfs as required, however the swfs are always behind the initial default swf. Is there a way to add removeChild to the buttons? I have tried creating seperate functions for each button and added the line removeChild(); however doing that means I would also have to repeat all of the later functions as well. If I add removeChild(); without placing it in a function the default swf doesn't show at all.

I want different actions for different MCs, but I can't access my MCs. I gave them names btn.name = "btn" + i;, but whenever I tried using MCs instance name "btn0" or "btn1" and so on it didn't work. So what is an instance names for my MCs?
I have a sprite on the stage let's say a square, when the user clicks anywhere I want the sprite to rotate toward the mouse. Here is the code I'm using
Code:
var dx = mouseX - square.x;
var dy = mouseY - square.y;
var radians = Math.atan2(dy, dx);
square.rotation = radians * 180 / Math.PI;
This works fine if the registration point is at the center of the square. The problem is the reg point is at the upper left corner of all my sprites.How do I rotate the square so that it looks like it's rotating around it's center? Or do I have to just change the reg point in all of my sprites?

ps. is there anyway to get this thing to ease when it rotates... instead of the jerky rotation it does now.

I've added a movie clip dynamically using the following code:
var apie=new cPie()
apie.x=100

I now have a pie on my stage. Yum. Assuming this works like a movie clip placed on the stage by dragging and dropping, I added this in to change an instance in the pie.

How to get through to my MovieClips?
I'll present my problem in a few steps:
- I have a constructor method which is trigerred automatically once the program starts
- The method's argument determines whether or not an enter frame event is to be added(move:Boolean = true)
- If true, add the event listener
- there are getters and setters created to access the variables from another class
The problem is that the event listener is run only once - at the initial phase, so it checks the move's value just once (true - add, false - don't add), so it can be turned on and off only in this class. I want to allow a user to change its value from an external class, which is impossible even with getters and setters, because it adds the listener before the user even gets a chance to change it. I want the listener to be added only if the user wants it to. I know it looks complicated,
I have a question about Tweening for dynamically added movie clips: In Main.as constructor file I added a movie clip:
addChild (new Arrow());
in Arrow.as I want the new arrow to tween as soon as it is added by Main.as file.
To do so, in Arrow.as I put this code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
mport fl.transitions.easing.*;
...
private function onAddedToStage(event:Event):void {
tween= new Tween (this, "x", Regular.easeInOut, x, 400, 60, false);
}
But "this" seems not to work because the file simply adds my movie clip to the stage without tweening or error messages. What I should put instead of "this" in the Arrow.as? Or any other options to tween this movie clip?
What I have is a navigational button. On click, it adds a MovieClip that contains a SWF.This SWF is a third party news reader/blog. My problem is that when I click on another Navigational button, I can't remove the added SWF (whether I use removeChild() or unload()).The container MC that was added to hold the SWF is removed but the newsreader stays. I assume this is because, that while the newsreader itself works great, it has too many unremoved event handlers, connections.
My main problem is that I can't figure out how to call that added swf by it's name and where on the displaylist it resides. Because I really want to use this newsreader, I've come to accept that I can't remove it. What I'm doing instead is trying to set up a conditional that looks to see if this SWF is already on stage, if so, do nothing but make it visible again(don't re-add the SWF).This is what I have so far, but it's not working (or at least not working without error)

In my .fla file, I have a mask that masks one layer that has one movie clip in my .fla file. When I run the file, all symbols that are added at runtime are masked as well.
