[Flashcoders] jsfl aligning movieclip symbols to top left
Does anybody know what the jsfl would look like to automate the process of aligning movieclips to the top left as opposed to centered? I have a cs3 fla with lots of symbols that need to be aligned top left. Thanks if anybody can help. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Hey, I had it in a panel i made.. so just copied the specific lines.. fl.getDocumentDOM().selectAll(); fl.getDocumentDOM().align(alignType, alignStageType); With kind regards, Dennis Isioux - Original Message - From: Some Dude [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 3:13 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] jsfl aligning movieclip symbols to top left Does anybody know what the jsfl would look like to automate the process of aligning movieclips to the top left as opposed to centered?

Re: [Flashcoders] jsfl aligning movieclip symbols to top left
I've just been writing a tonne of JSFL scripts for a project so have done a
lot of this. Here's a few generic lines grabbed form some of my scripts...
code
var focussedDoc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var targetLibrary = focussedDoc.library;
var selectedItems = targetLibrary.getSelectedItems();
for( i = 0; i selectedItems.length; i++ ) {
targetLibrary.editItem( selectedItems[i].name );
var editingTimeline = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
for( e = 0; e editingTimeline.layers[0].frames[0].elements.length; e++ ) {
var currentElement = editingTimeline.layers[0].frames[0].elements[e];
currentElement.x = 0 + currentElement.width/2;
currentElement.y = 0 + currentElement.height/2;
}
}
focussedDoc.exitEditMode();
/code
To use this:
1) Select all the symbols in the library you would like to align
2) run the command
Note:
- It assumes that each library symbol consists of only a single frame and a
single layer. If there are more layers and frames you'll need to iterate
through each of them using the editingTimeline.layers and
editingTimeline.layers[x].frames arrays.
- It will align all elements on a single frame so the top left corners of
their bounding boxes are at 0,0
- all raw shapes on a single frame are treated as a single element. They
need to be grouped or converted to symbols to be treated individually by
JSFL
- it will return your editing focus to the main timeline upon completion
Without knowing more about the exact structure of your symbols it's a little
difficult to be more precise with the code but this should give you the
basics you need to customise your own script.

Re: [Flashcoders] jsfl aligning movieclip symbols to top left
Open the Flash History panel. Align a movieclip to top left. Look at the History panel for the JSFL it used to do that. Now you know what it looks like.
