Re: [Flashcoders] Mask not defining mc width && height in, imported swf.

2006-02-10 Thread Matt Muller

solved...

private function centerThreeSixty():Void
{
var midX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var midY:Number = Stage.height/2;

if (originX == null && origMidX == null)
{
origMidX = midX;
origMidY = midY;

originX = targetThreeSixty._x;
originY = targetThreeSixty._y;
}

var diffX:Number = (midX - origMidX);
var diffY:Number = (midY - origMidY);

targetThreeSixty._x = originX + diffX;
targetThreeSixty._y = originY + diffY;
}

only works if the stage is bigger than the clip tho :|

Re: [Flashcoders] Mask not defining mc width && height in, imported swf.

2006-02-10 Thread w03


This can be more complicated than it seems... if, like I was, you are using the 
imported MC height and width to find center position.  These values change as 
the offstage mcs move around or march onto stage.

If set the center position once, and import the mc there, it'll stay put.
If call centering routine a lot, (say on a resize function), the mc will jump around depending on the current width,height.  


If you use origional centering data (i.e. save the position) and then use that 
in your resize function (calculate new mc position based on old mc position, 
not on mc width/height) then you may be able to stop the behavior.

If you wrote the Q you may understand this answer, otherwise, don't bother!

Re: [Flashcoders] Mask not defining mc width && height in imported swf.

2006-02-10 Thread Cedric Muller


this is strange:

animationMask = controlClip.createEmptyMovieClip("...
animationMask = animationMask.attachMovie("mask", "animationMask"...)

try naming your variables a different way ...
like
animationMask0 = controlClip.createEmptyMovieClip(".
animationMask1 = animationMask0.attachMovie("mask",  
"animationMask", ...)


I don't know if this will change something, but try ... as it could  
explain the messing up when onResize is called 

hth,
Cedric



I am, in fact Im tracing it to be say 900px, then im pushing all  
the clips
into an array which loops and traces on resize, and the width  
somehow jumps

to 1300px.

var animClipTop :MovieClip;
var animClip  :MovieClip;
var animationMask:MovieClip;

animClip = controlClip.animHoldClip.createEmptyMovieClip 
("anim_"+counter,

depth++);
animationMask = controlClip.createEmptyMovieClip 
("animationMaskClip"+counter,

depth++);
animationMask = animationMask.attachMovie("mask", "animationMask",  
depth++,

{_x:-15.5, _y:-19});

then once its loaded...

animClip.setMask(animationMask);

it also has a mask in the swf masking everything. I smell a bug.  
This only

happens onResize.

[Flashcoders] Mask not defining mc width && height in imported swf.

2006-02-10 Thread Matt Muller

Im building a microsite, that is aligned to the center of the stage. I am
loading in animations that are swfs that are meant to run in the viewable
area in the microsite.
The animation fla's are exported as swfs with a mask, and I am also trying
to setMask in the shell, the animators tweens and shapes that are outside of
the mask
are affecting the size of my shell and when onResize() is called the site
jumps all over the show.

Does anyone have any ideas, bar going into the animations and cleaning up
everything that is outside the mask to get a perfect rectangle bounding box,
surely
there must be a way to do this, I have draw regions on and can see
everything going on outide the mask.
