OK, my main problem is solved but just to get it in the correct perspectives. The width and height are no properties of MovieClip and also not of the Sprite. But, is it correct that MovieClip extends the Object() and therefore it does have a .width and .height. And in the case of a MovieClip it adjust its size due to it content? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - MovieClip in MovieClip not showing
MovieClip does have a width and height property, it inherits it from DisplayObject in which these are defined. Object is the one without width and height.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 - MovieClip in MovieClip not showing
Thanks Meinte,
I appreciate your input very much!!
I did some more playing around and noticed that width and height are
overridden when MC content is set to another value.
And also another issue is that I am not able to trigger every single item on
my stage (see listeners)
To show you what I did, here my class:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class MC_Test extends MovieClip
{
public function MC_Test()
{
init();
}
private function init():void
{
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.name = mc;
/
//MovieClip sets width and height primairaly to its
content, so it is 0 because its empty
mc.width = 500;
mc.height = 500;
trace(zonder content +mc.width); //0
var mcInside:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mcInside.name = mcInside;
var s:Shape = new Shape();
s.name = s;
s.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
s.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x00);
s.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 300, 300);
s.graphics.endFill();
mcInside.addChild(s);
mc.addChild(mcInside);
addChild(mc);
//Place these settings beneith de mc.width and
mc.height, notice the difference
//
mcInside.width = 200;
mcInside.height = 200;
//
mc.width = 500;
mc.height = 500;
trace(met content = +mc.width);//500
trace(s.width = +s.width);//302
trace(mcInside.width = + mcInside.width);//200
//mc.mouseChildren = false;
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over);
s.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over);
mcInside.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
over);
}
private function over(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(e.target.name);
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 - MovieClip in MovieClip not showing
not listed as MovieClip properties I'm afraid that you are completely wrong there. A MovieClip has a height and width. Of course it does. The *documentation* sucks. That may be more the issue here too. I suspect it's more to do with setting the height and width properties before adding the object to the display list. I think it has to do with trying to set the height and width before adding *content* to the object.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 - MovieClip in MovieClip not showing
I talked to my Flash/AS-teacher and he give me the following explaination: Width en height of sprites and movieclips (displayobjects) get defined by their content. When the width is 0, you are not able to set/change them. You could however use scaleX and scaleY to change settings. But .scaleX = 2 when the displayobjest is 0 does not result in much more then 0. :-) From the moment there is another displayobject in it, the parent object sets to width and height of the child object. If you then change the width of the parentobject (say 500) then you actually scale the parent object, not the childobject. The childobject will still be the previous setting, wich in my case was width 200. I hope this clarifies some more.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 - MovieClip in MovieClip not showing
Have you added the instance of LesViewer to the display list? He shouldn't have to, LesViewer is linked as the document class... Yes, I read the email too fast. unless it actually isn't - then you have a problem. Otherwise, I was not able to locate any problems in the code. LOL, nor me. LOL, ok then, I think the original poster needs to supply more information or look more closely at their file to be sure it is set up as they say it is, sinc everything checks out here.

Have you added the instance of LesViewer to the display list? He shouldn't have to, LesViewer is linked as the document class... unless it actually isn't - then you have a problem. Otherwise, I was not able to locate any problems in the code.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 - MovieClip in MovieClip not showing
Hi Paul,
I don't know what you mean by that?
When I do addChild(tfHeader); it shows and when I do
header.addChild(tfHeader); it doesn't???
Regards
Cor

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 - MovieClip in MovieClip not showing
I am trying to put some MovieClip in another MovieClip and show it on
stage.
What am I doing wrong?
This is my Document class in a empty fla:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class LesViewer extends MovieClip{
public const STAGE_WIDTH = 800;
public const STAGE_HEIGHT = 600;
private var container:MovieClip;
private var header:MovieClip;
private var menu:MovieClip;
private var content:MovieClip;
private var footer:MovieClip;
private var tfHeader:TextField;
private var tfLessonInput:TextField;
private var tfFooter:TextField;
private var bSubmit:SimpleButton;
public function LesViewer() {
init();
}
private function init():void{
buildGUI();
}
private function buildGUI():void{
//main container - everything is in here
container = new MovieClip();
container.x = 0;
container.y = 0;
container.width = STAGE_WIDTH;
container.height = STAGE_HEIGHT;
addChild(container);
//header - contains a nice graphic/animation, a
textfield, a lesson-number-input field, the submit button
header = new MovieClip();
header.x = 0;
header.y = 0;
header.width = STAGE_WIDTH;
header.height = STAGE_HEIGHT * .2;
container.addChild(header);
// TODO: create animation
tfHeader = new TextField();
tfHeader.text = Les:;
tfHeader.x = 300;
tfHeader.y = 20;
header.addChild(tfHeader);
trace(container.height);
//footer no real purpose yet, I guess I'll address
some credentials to the author :-)
footer = new MovieClip();
footer.width = STAGE_WIDTH;
footer.height = 30;
footer.x = 0;
footer.y = STAGE_HEIGHT - footer.height;
container.addChild(footer);
//menu container - contains a Bitmap-thumbnail of
every frame of the loaded swf
menu = new MovieClip();
menu.x = 0;
menu.y = header.height;
menu.width = STAGE_WIDTH*.2;
menu.height = STAGE_HEIGHT - header.height -
footer.height;
container.addChild(menu);
content = new MovieClip();
container.addChild(content);
//inputfield for lesson number
//submit button
//content container
}
}
}
