[flexcoders] Actionscript Project - Weird addChild positioning and sizing

Bjorn Schultheiss Mon, 29 May 2006 09:56:30 -0700

Hi,

This one has got me completely baffled.

I have created 2 images

1. bg.gif – width: 1px, height: 600px with a vertical gradient.

2. outline.gif – width: 900px, height 600px a transparent image with a 1px black stroke inside

I have created an Actionscript project with 1 as set up as the main application file.

I have also set the flex/frameworks.swf in the Project Properties/ Library Source

Check out the code below

The result is inconsistent sizing and positioning when compiled.

Here my code

package

{

import flash.utils.*;

import flash.display.*;

public class zuki extends Sprite

{

[Embed(source="/assets/bg.gif")] private var BG_image:Class;

[Embed(source="/assets/outline.gif")] private var Outline_image:Class;

private var className:String;

public function zuki()

{

// set stage properties

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

stage.align = StageAlign.TOP;

// load and position bg

var bg:Bitmap = createImage('BG_image');

addChild(bg);

bg.width = 950;

bg.height = 600;

// load outline

var outline:Bitmap = createImage('Outline_image');

addChild(outline);

}

private function createImage(embedLinkage:String):Bitmap

{

if(className == null) {

className = describeType(this)[EMAIL PROTECTED]();

}

var imgName:String = className + "_" + embedLinkage;

var imgRef:Object = getDefinitionByName(imgName);

var img:Bitmap = new imgRef();

return img;

}

Also the HTML if of any interest

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<style>

body

{

background-image: url(assets/image/bg.gif);

}

</style>

</head>

<strong>You need to upgrade your Flash Player</strong>

</div>

// <![CDATA[

var so = new SWFObject("assets/swf/zuki.swf", "zuki", "950", "600", "9.0.0", "#FF6600", true);

so.write("flashcontent");

// ]]>

</script>

</center>

</body>
