Your sprite position is 0 and IN there, there is the rectangle at 15 px.

trace(mSprite.width); //

//set mSprite's x

given the following:

var msprite:Sprite = new Sprite();

mSprite.graphics.beginFill(0x00,.1);
mSprite.graphics.drawRect(15,337,646,207);
mSprite.graphics.endFill();

I would think that I should be tracing mSprite.x = 15 instead I get

Re: [Flashcoders] finding x of sprite

2010-02-25 Thread Geografiek 

No,
mSprite.x = 0 refers to the x-position of mSprite in the coordinate  
space of mSprite's parent (which is (0,0) by default if you never set  
it).
The expected x=15 is the position of the newly drawn rectangle in the  
coordinate space of mSprite.
localToGlobal does not refer to Points per se (as mentioned in your  
earlier post) but it lets you swap the local coordinate space of an  
object with the global coordinate space (i.e. the coordinate space of  
the stage)

Correct: drawrect(0,0, yourwidth, yourheight);
Unless you would like to add more then one thing in the sprite.

Look at the sprite as a container/holder/box.
You can move the thing in the box around without moving the position of the
box itself.

No, you set the rectangle that you drew INSIDE the sprite to be at 
(15,337). You didn't move the sprite from (0,0).


The rectangle and sprite are different things. You can draw the 
rectangle inside the sprite wherever you wish. Then you can move the 
sprite if you wish.


The sprite is a container for the rectangle.

Re: [Flashcoders] finding x of sprite

2010-02-25 Thread tom rhodes 
Lehr, try this code, hopefully it should explain...

function drawDot(targetSprite:Sprite, size:int):void
{
targetSprite.graphics.beginFill(0);
 targetSprite.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,size/2);
targetSprite.graphics.beginFill(0);
}

var originOfStage:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(originOfStage);
drawDot(originOfStage,5);
var spriteAt100x100y:Sprite = new Sprite();
spriteAt100x100y.x = 100;
spriteAt100x100y.y = 100;
addChild(spriteAt100x100y);
drawDot(spriteAt100x100y,5);
var childSpriteAt100x100y:Sprite = new Sprite();
childSpriteAt100x100y.x = 100;
childSpriteAt100x100y.y = 100;
spriteAt100x100y.addChild(childSpriteAt100x100y);
drawDot(childSpriteAt100x100y,5);

you will see a dot at 0,0, another one at 100,100 and a third at 200,200.

a child's position is automatically relative to it's parents position, the
child of the spriteAt100x100y has it's x and y set to 100, but seeing as
it's parent is at 100,100 relative to the origin it appears at 200,200.

 yeah - but the goofy thing is that when I trace the height and width I get
 the height and width of the rectangle IN the sprite... my assumption would
 be that I would basically get back the dimensions of the stage if that is
 how big the sprite is

 In the code example below it looks like you set the x,y of the rectangle
 that is IN the sprite to 15,337.  The sprite default position of the sprite
 is 0,0

 Sprite.x = 0;

 Sprite.rectangle.x = 15;

 wow - this is something I am ging to have to wrapped my head around I
 set the x,y of the sprite at creation to: 15, 337 (with a w,h of 646,207)
 BUT the x/y traces as 0,0 if I do:

 spret.x = 15; it moves it 15 as related to the original 15... so it is
 REALLY at 30 on the stage AND then when I move it 15 (which should really
 be
 30) it traces to 15

 It just occired to me that maybe I should create it at 0,0 and then move it
 to where I want it to be

 Your sprite position is 0 and IN there, there is the rectangle at 15 px.

 trace(mSprite.width); //

 //set mSprite's x
 mSprite.x = 15;

 given the following:

 var msprite:Sprite = new Sprite();

 mSprite.graphics.beginFill(0x00,.1);
 mSprite.graphics.drawRect(15,337,646,207);
 mSprite.graphics.endFill();

 addChild(mSprite);

 trace(mSprite.x = +mSprite.x);

 I would think that I should be tracing mSprite.x = 15 instead I get
 mSprite = 0

 Anyone know why?
