[RESOLVED] Dynamic Positioning Only Working After Resize

[StickyGlue]

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!! Thanks!

// 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.

Fixed!

I put the actual dimensions of the swfs I was importing, (instead of holder.width, for example), and it worked!
