Re: [Flashcoders] Moving groups of objects
Hi Jonathan, How about creating a root movieclip and then making your objects as children of that clip, so something (pseudocode) like: create movieclip f1 // root button create movieclip f1.button1 // button clip create text field f1.button1.text1 // text create movieclip f1.button1.rect1 // rectangle and then you can move f1._x+=10 or f1._visible=0 Gabino - Original Message - From: J.C.

I have:

sizeImage();
function sizeImage () {
trace(_root.imageMovie._height);
}
But I keep getting 0 I am guessing because the trace is fired before
the

until
the image is loaded. I tried:
_root.imageMovie.onLoad = function() {

But that does not seem to fire at all
My ultimate goal is to control the size of the image that is being

Thanks!
Hi Theodore,
There might be better ways than what I am using, but this works. For
each image I create a new movieclip which onEnterFrame resizes the
target loadMovie image to a set size, and then removes itself so it
doesn't keep working needlessly.
This is cut and pasted from a project where images are sourced from XML,
so it might have some extraneous ...
mrand=Math.round(Math.random()*3000);
tname='img'+mrand;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(tname, imagedepth); imagedepth++;
_root['img'+mrand].createEmptyMovieClip('md', imagedepth);
_root['img'+mrand].md.loadMovie(images.childNodes[i].attributes['imgloc']);
_root['img'+mrand]._x=images.childNodes[i].attributes['x'];
_root['img'+mrand]._y=images.childNodes[i].attributes['y'];
trace(images.childNodes[i].attributes['imgloc']);
// image sizer

Re: [Flashcoders] tracing height
snip I suggest you use onLoadInit instead onLoadComplete, because onLoadInit is dispatched after content was fully loaded and initialized. Gabino, use this code and you'll be able to get the dimensions of your loaded movie as soon image is loaded. Best, /snip Fábio, Yeah, that is much better than what I was doing. :) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] code review
Oh, right. I never use setTextFormat, I always create the text box, format
it and put the text in.
public static function
makeTextField(x:Float,y:Float,w:Float,h:Float,f:String,
s:Float,rgb,t:String){
var newDepth=flash.Lib.current.getNextHighestDepth();
var tf2 =flash.Lib.current.createTextField(tf2,newDepth,x,y,w,h);
tf2.selectable=false;
tf2.wordWrap=true; tf2.embedFonts=true;
tf2.setNewTextFormat(new TextFormat(f,s,rgb));
tf2.text=t;
}
The above is written in haXe, so it mgiht not make sense.
Sorry about the misinformation, Theodore.

Hi,
It is the other way around. setTextFormat is for formatting text currently
in the textfield (optionally text in the textfield within a certain range),
and setNewTextFormat is for text prepended to the current contents of the
textfield (either prepended by script or by the user in case of input
fields).

Morten

Re: [Flashcoders] Adding n days to dateField.selectedDate
Hi Alan I found the easiest way to work with dates to keep from having to do this all the time is to start with unix date time, do calculations on it, and then convert it back to whatever format you want. For example, today is 1208129349, which is that many seconds past the Unix epoch start time, which is January 1, 1970. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time) If I want 283 days in the future I add 1208129349 + (283 days *24 hours*60 minutes*60second) = 1232580549 and I convert that to whatever date format I want.
