Flash :: Simple Square

Resizing A Square Simple No?
Hello world!!!!

I want to have a button change the dimensions of a square in my flash document.

It sounds simple enough to me but after a day of searching i am very frustrated, i don't know nearly enough about flash to know where i should start looking to find the answer myself. And all the examples i find in forums are over complicated or have little or no explanations.

Someone point me in the right direction please.

desperate? i think so.

Trouble Getting A Simple Button To Work To Square A No.
Hi,

Very very new to Flash...having trouble doing this quite basic tutorial....

basically i want to take in a no. from an input box - square it - by clicking on a button - so that the result is then displayed in a separate text box.

basically i have created the two text boxes (one for input and the other dynamic) - also i have the button up on the screen, also i have the code in the acion panel - yet i can't seem to get it the whole thing to function properly at all -

also in the turorial i am using - it says the following..................

{ in the properties panel, click the parameters tab - click the click handler - and type the name of the function (HandleSquareButton) you wrote to take care of these button clicks.. }

............yet within parameters there is no..."Click handler" that i can see in either flash 8 or flash MX.

so can anyone help??!!!

regards

Non-square Shape
I made a shape in photoshop and I pasted it on my flash movie, and it made a square outline on it. Where there was suppose to be no color (in the square outline in the spaces where there was no picture)it automatically put white. And it wouldn't let me erase it. I want to put a graphic underneath the the one I'm talking about, but the white part covers it. Can anyone help?

How Do I Create A Square?
I need to create a square which will represent a wall, whereby the user types into 2 text fields one displaying the thickness of the wall and one displaying the length of the wall. And then when you click a button it creates the wall/square.

for example,
Thickness(inches)= 8
Length (meters) = 20

CREATE WALL(BUTTON) //this button then creates the wall/square

And then for the user to be able to Drag the wall anywhere on the screen.

Please can anyone help me with ?

it will greatly appreciated!

Non-square MC For StopDrag()
I am trying to develop a drag and drop system that has dynamic 'dropzones'(moveTo() & lineTo()). These dropzones need to initate a function if the dragging object is dropped on. However, I need these dropzones to be rhombuses, not squares.

It appears that _droptarget and hitTest() use the square(x,y,height,width) of my dropzones making them bigger than they are suppose to.

Is there a mathematical way to determine whether or not the draggable object was dropped onto the rhombus hotspot?

Square Navigation
i have a square divided into four smaller squares. When you rollover either of the four small squares, i wanted it to grow and almost fill the main large square with the other 3 squares just sort of shifting over to accomodate the growing square. Then when you roll off it, it shrinks back to it's original size.

How do i do this in actionscript without buttons and tweening?

any feedback is appreciated.

Resizing A Square
Hi guys,

Can someone please help me. I'm looking for a way to resize a square in actionscript 3. The code I already have is this.

ActionScript Code:
function onOver(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var itemName:String = e.target.name;
if (itemName.match("item1") || itemName.match("item2"))
{
var item:Object = e.target;
while (e.target.width < 300)
{
item.width += 1;
trace(e.target.width);
}
}
}

Problem is, that this causes 'item1' to resize to 300 too fast (sub 0.01s). I'm VERY new to AS3, so if there is a way of making it resize to 300px in another way that won't make it change so fast, please let me know.

Thanks!

Square Array
Hi!

I want to create a rectangular array from a number of images. Basically something like this:

-----
-----
-----

I want to do this using actionscript with duplicateMovieClip and setProperty commands.

Here is what I have so far

i=1;
while(i<5) {
duplicateMovieClip(square, "square" + i, i);
setProperty("square" + i, _x, 75);
setProperty("square" + i, _y, 40);
setProperty("square" + i + ".mask", _x, 80*(i-1));
trace("square" + i);
i++;
}

This duplicates the mc square 4x and changes the position of 'mask' within the clip to be in one row.
On the next row, the parent clip square should remain in the same location, but the 'mask' mc needs to move in x and y direction as well... and so on.

This is in principle a relatively easy problem, but I can't get my head around how to make the mask clip move in the y direction every time a row is complete.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Mysterious Square
I'm building a shopping cart for a gallery site. I hadn't even worked on it for a week, but when I checked it yesterday, there was a strange problem. When you click directly on the datagrid a mysterious green square appears. The square doesn't inherit the transform of the data grid, but it does inherit the alpha value. The really strange thing is that it only happens when I post the files online. There is no problem when testing locally. I've talked to tech support and they were stumped.... Can anyone help? (please don't try to purchase anything, the site is far from finished)

the data grid comes up when you press add to cart or show cart http://danielbourdet.com/susanbourdet/SBgallery.html

How Can I Confine This To A Square?
I have a ball that follows the mouse, but I need to confine it to a box shape. I can do it with the dragable buttons but not this MC that follows the mouse.

Here is the code I have attached to the ball MC:

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
    _x = 0;
    _y = 0;
    speed = 5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    targetx = _root._xmouse;
    targety = _root._ymouse;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    _x += (targetx-_x)/speed;
    _y += (targety-_y)/speed;
}

Cheers.
