Re: [Flashcoders] finding x of sprite
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) Willem On 25-feb-2010, at 13:28, Lehr, Theodore wrote: 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? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Geografiek is a Dutch, Utrecht-based map and chart design company.

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.

Re: [Flashcoders] Using parent Sprites coordinates
Yep. You will have to instantiate a point object with the x and y properties of your sprite, apply any localToGlobal/globalToLocal changes*, and then set your sprite's x (and y) to the new point's x and y. Once you do this a few times it might be time to write yourself a few helper functions - ex. a function that takes a sprite and global x and global y and positions the sprite, for example. -jonathan *The way I'm writing this makes it sound like the localToGlobal() function alters the point it's passed, when actually I think it returns a new altered point.

Re: [Flashcoders] finding x of sprite
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.

RE: [Flashcoders] drawing lines
Sure, you can certainly draw that dashed line with a series of lines and the result will look the same to the end users - but there is no way to do it in a single lineTo() method call. You just need to do some simple divisional math, using a for loop to calculate the next X and Y points for the next line and swapping out the color.

Re: [Flashcoders] removeChild Question
Thank you everyone for your replies. Turns out the culprit was that I called a certain function iteratively and I had placed those children in that fn. Therefore, when I removed the children, I presumably only removed the final iteration. So, I took the children out of that loop and they were removed with no problem. My bad.

[Flashcoders] Question in regards to NetStream
1. Since there doesn't seem to be an playing event for a NetStream, is it best practice to run an interval and check the time property? Begin on the Play.Start and stop it on the Play.Stop? What about a pause - handle that internally? 2. After seeking, the time property seems wonky (inaccurate) - is there a workaround for this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Question in regards to NetStream
I wish NetStream had more events then :) I have to run a timer to update a time placement UI. That's too bad. How is YouTube able to provide such accurate seeking? I'm transferring video from one SWF to another - mainly by transferring the URL to the video to stream and trying to match as closely as possible (buffering not withstanding) the playhead time. It seems like this is next to impossible with video that is out of my control to encode keyframes every second.

RE: [Flashcoders] Error 1009
What should I be looking for? I have no idea without some code or reading the literal text of the error. Is this '*.as' associated with the 'Splash.swf' you are loading? Going back to the preloader, I noticed that, in the code you posted at the beginning of this thread, you do not have 'addChild(l)' anywhere. This omission could very well be the cause of a null reference error. Try that. If that doesn't work then I guess you have more digging to do.

Re: [Flashcoders] targeting sprite
I'm not entirely sure what error you're getting, but if I were to take a
wild guess, I'd say the problem is that your sprite doesn't have enough
children for you to add anything at index 2.
For instance, if your sprite only had 1 child, it would occupy index 0 of
your sprite, meaning you'd only be allowed to add children at index 0 and 1.
(Don't forget that Flash starts counting at 0)
If you're looking to add a child to the top layer of your sprite, probably
the better way of doing this would be...
sparent.addChildAt(childSprite, sparent.numChildren - 1);
Good luck!
