[RESOLVED] Dynamic Positioning Only Working After Resize
Hey everyone,
I'm having a really annoying issue here. First of all, I got the following code snippet from: http://blog.soulwire.co.uk/flash/act...ning-part-one/
Its a dynamic positioning template, basically. Here's my problem: I'm importing docked_icons.swf onto the stage via the holder movie clip (at the end). However, the position is messed up until I resize the window. From there, it's perfect. How do I set the initial position to be correct? I feel like I've tried everything!! :yikes: Thanks!
Code:
// Setup the Stage properties
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
// Create some dummy boxes
// This is only for the demonstration
var margin:Number = 10;
var boxSize:Number = 100;
var boxes = [
["top", "0x9933cc"],
["right", "0x00ff00"],
["left", "0x0099ff"],
["center", "0xff3399"]];
for (var i = 0; i < boxes.length; i++)
{
var newBox:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip (boxes[i][0], getNextHighestDepth ());
var nameBadge = newBox.createTextField ("test_txt", 1, 0, (boxSize / 2) - 10, boxSize, 10);
nameBadge.autoSize = "center";
nameBadge.text = boxes[i][0];
nameBadge.textColor = 0xffffff;
with (newBox)
{
beginFill (boxes[i][1],100);
moveTo (0,0);
lineTo (boxSize,0);
lineTo (boxSize,boxSize);
lineTo (0,boxSize);
lineTo (0,0);
endFill ();
}
}
/*
The core function...
I keep this separate from the 'onResize'
handler so that I can call it at the start
to position all of my elements if the screen
size has remained the same
*/
function setStage ()
{
var sw:Number = Stage.width;
var sh:Number = Stage.height;
/*
Rule for Top / Center alignment
*/
top._x = sw / 2 - top._width / 2;
top._y = margin;
/*
Rule for Right / Middle alignment
*/
right._x = sw - (right._width + margin);
right._y = sh / 2 - right._height / 2;
/*
Rule for Bottom / Center alignment
*/
holder._x = sw / 2 - holder._width / 2;
holder._y = sh - (holder._height + 11 * margin);
/*
Rule for Left / Middle alignment
*/
left._x = margin;
left._y = sh / 2 - left._height / 2;
/*
Rule for Center / Middle alignment
*/
center._x = sw / 2 - center._width / 2;
center._y = sh / 2 - center._height / 2;
}
// Add a listener
var stageListener:Object = new Object ();
Stage.addListener (stageListener);
// When the Stage dimensions change...
stageListener.onResize = setStage;
// Call our function to set it all up right!
setStage ();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 100);
holder.loadMovie("docked_icons.swf");
Also, this is Flash 8, AS2.
