Can I use ems for the width tag when embedding a flash object?
I've done some googling and it looks like it's just pixels and percentages but I want to double check with the stack overflow community.
I am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.
I have a class that extends a MovieClip and receives a MovieClip inside it. The movieclip is embedded like this:
[Embed(source='assets/emi_dir.swf')] protected var MyMovie:Class;
and I add it on the Parent constructor like this:
public function Item(content:DisplayObject) {
super();
var lines:Sprite = new Sprite();
[Code]....
When I add a Bitmap the Parent Item grows to accomodate the child, but this do not happen with SWF's...
I donwloaded this small sample for jquery [URL] it is a plugin for a webpage and it displays a flash player to capture a qr code through a webcam. It shows the flash player in firefox and chrome, but it doesn't show it in IE. I do have the flash player in IE because i tried the project in this webpage [URL] and it does display the qr code. A person told me to check if it was embeded using swfobject and I checked the .js file of the project and it is embedding it as an swfobject, this is part of the code in the jqery.webcamqrcode.js

A typical code fragment obtained from the YouTube embed feature looks like this:
<object width="660" height="405">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NWHfY_lvKIQ?fs=1&hl=en_GB&border=1"></param>

We have embedded a FLASH with tags <object> and <embed> in a JSP page , running in a web application on a Application Server (Weblogic Server).The flash works fine.We note that, as expected, the code inside <object> is replaced at runtime. (when we access to HTML source code we can view an HTML code differente from <object> and <embed> tags).
But we also tried to call the web page through wget (from command line) and we saw that the HTML source code that we receive is ALREADY replaced.When and from who the <object> <embed> code is replaced ?From javascript (runned by browser) or before ?
package
{
import flash.display.*;

I thought this would be straight forward but I'm having trouble repositioning my content. I have a button instance named rollOne, When I roll over the button I want to load an swf object but not on top of the button so I want to find out what the button's width is so I can reposition the dynamically loaded content. I thought rollOne.width would return the width, but it only returns 0 the same goes for height.
rollOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fetchQty);
function fetchQty(event:MouseEvent):void {
myContainer.x = (rollOne.x + rollOne.width);
myContainer.y = (rollOne.y + rollOne.height);
var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("8032697883620.swf");
var img1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
img1Loader.load(img1Request);
myContainer.addChild(img1Loader);
trace(rollOne.width);
}
Is there any way to read the width and height of a flash object using jQuery?
View 1 RepliesIs there a function or property or better way to do what the following code do?
var width:int = 20
while (textField.defaultTextFormat.size > 1 && textField.width > width) {
textField.defaultTextFormat.size--

If I create a rectangle with 100px width and 100px height and then rotate it, the size of the element's "box" will have increased.With 45 rotation, the size becomes about 143x143 (from 100x100).Doing sometimes like cos(angleRad) * currentWidth seems to work for 45 rotation, but for other bigger angles it doesn't.At the moment I am doing this:
var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
var normalizedWidth = object.width;

Im trying to access the width and height of a dae/collada object.myDAE.width does not work. If you have any ideas as to which class this info is contained it would be a massive help!
View 1 RepliesI need a script which can animate an objects resize through AS. I know that
on (rollOver) {
_root.reBox._width = 100;
} on (rollOut) {
_root.reBox._width = 50;
}
Will jump my MC "reBox" to 100px on rollover and to 50px on Rollout, but how do I get AS to animate the transition - basically a tween!
I have two files, MenuButton and JerkChicken (my document class...don't ask).
MenuButton loads a font and then creates a textfield with a background rectangle that is inivisible (for a hit state).
In my document class (JerkChicken.as) I build a menu with the following function:
Code:
private function buildMenu() {
var labels:Array = new Array(
"one",
[Code]....
Or something similar...basically I want to take the width of the menu button, add a bit of space and then place down the next menu button (to make a horizontal menu bar).
The problem I am having is menuButton.width is returning 0.
In the menuButton class when I try to trace the width (i.e. trace (_bgWidth)) I am getting the width but when the button is created in the document class, I am not retrieving the width.
I guess what I am looking for is to somehow send "_bgWidth" from the MenuButton class to the document class...but I don't know how to do this.
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 have a library MovieClip Class that consists solely of a dynamic textfield contained in a MovieClip. I want to instantiate this MC, populate the textField with text, get the width of the resulting text and, if the width is less than a predefined MIN_WIDTH value, append more text. When the width is equal to or greater than my MIN_WIDTH value, add this MovieClip class to the display list. My question is, does anyone know if its possible to retrieve the length of text in a textField using Textlinemetrics BEFORE the textField has been added to the display list?
View 2 RepliesI 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 have a flex 3 project with a root mx:Application. The width and the height are set to pct values, because the application has several sizes that can be chosen by the user, so the correct size is set on the embed's width attribute.
how to access the value in that attribute. I read in several places that this.root.loaderInfo.width should give me that value, but it always returns 500, which I am guessing comes from the default application container width [URL].
I realize I could pass it as a flashvar, but that is not a good solution in this case due to the nature of the project. I've also tried pplication.application.width, stage.width, and stage.stageWidth, to name a few. I can't depend on any of those values, since they change based on the browser zoom level.
In the documentation for DisplayObject, it states that the width and height of the DisplayObject can not be changed if it is empty. Why is this restriction necessary? In every other framework I have used, you can resize containers that are empty.
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
Project : Game in Flex builder 4 (Actionscript Project) Language : Actionscript 3
This code
trace ("--before-- "+sprite.width + "," + sprite.height);
this.sprite.rotation = obj.rotation;
trace ("--after-- "+sprite.width + "," + sprite.height);
[Code].....
Obviously there are 9 instances. So 18 lines output. note that the width and height getting swapped randomly for some only.
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)

I have a Canvas control with a fixed width and a horizontal scrollbar.I'm trying to find the actual width of the control.The .width (fixed width) + the part being revealed by the scrollbar.I tried explicitWidth, width + maxHorizontalScrollPosition, and some other combos but non of them hit the spot.
I am looking at the SimpleButton entirely wrong. Here's what I'm doing (inside of a MovieClip):
[Code]...
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?
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've got a TileList with verticalScrollPolicy="on".
Is there a property that returns the width of the tileList minus the width of the scrollbar?
