How are transforms in the transform panel applied?

I am trying to understand when/how the transforms made in the transform panel are applied to display objects so that I can manipulate them using action script. To be clear, I understand that I can use the display object properties such as rotation to transform a display object, and I understand that I can also use a matrix transformation. Unfortunatley, this doesn't always seem to have the same behavior when nesting as direct transformations using the panel. So I would like to find a way to manipulate whatever properties the transform panel is changing.
Maybe this isn't clear, so here's an example.
On a new stage, I place a rectangle and use the transform panel to rotate it 39 degrees. Then I assign this shape to a variable and use the debug panel to inspect the member properties of the shape. As far as I can tell, this rotation value is not contained within any of the transformation parameters. Is it pre-applied?
If I use the "export as XML" option, the rotation value is listed in the "Source" tag, as below:
<Motion duration="1" xmlns="fl.motion.*" xmlns:geom="flash.geom.*" xmlns:filters="flash.filters.*">
    <source>
        <Source frameRate="24" x="265" y="184.5" scaleX="1" scaleY="1" rotation="39" elementType="drawing object">
            <dimensions>
                <geom:Rectangle left="111.35" top="35.1" width="307.25" height="298.85"/>
            </dimensions>
            <transformationPoint>
                <geom:Point x="0.5000813669650123" y="0.5099548268362054"/>
            </transformationPoint>
        </Source>
    </source>
    <Keyframe index="0"/>
</Motion>
So this is being stored as a value somewhere. Any ideas?
Thanks - Andrew

if you're mixing actionscript with something drawn in the ide, you must be converting your drawing into an object (in order to reference it with actionscipt).   whatever you convert to an object will assume mostly default properties (no matter what you see on-stage).  the x and y properties are an exception.

  • How can I display the front panel of the dinamically loaded VI on the cliente computer, the VI dinamically loaded contains files, I want to see the files that the server machine has, in the client machine

    I can successfully view and control a VI remotly. However, the remote VI dinamically loads another VI, this VI loaded dinamically is a VI that allows open others VIs, I want to see the files that contains the server machine, in the client machine, but the front panel of the dinamic VI appears only on the server and not on the client, How can I display the fron panel with the files of the server machine of the dinamically loaded VI on the client computer?

    I down loaded your files but could use some instructions on what needs run.
    It seems that you are so close yet so far. You need to get the data on the server machine over to the client. I generally do this by doing a call by reference (on the client machine) of a VI that is served by the server. THe VI that executes on the server should pass the data you want to diplay via one of its output terminals. You can simply wire from this terminal (back on the client again) to an indicator of your choosing.
    Now theorectically, I do not think that there is anything that prevents use from getting the control refnum of the actual indicator (on the server) of the indicator that has the data, and read its "Value" using a property node. I have never tried this idea but it seems t
    hat all of the parts are there. You will need to know the name of the VI that holds the data as well as the indicator's name. You will also have to serve all VI's. This is not a good idea.

  • How do I tile the Dreamweaver panels and document windows to tile instead of being superimposed?

    How do I tile the Dreamweaver panels and document windows to tile instead of being superimposed?

    I'm not sure what may be causing your issue on the right side of the screen, other than possibly your application frame is wider than your screen size so you aren't able to drag the window tab far enough to get the highlighting effect. Make sure your application frame is maximized to your screen by hitting the middle button in the top right of the window so it changes to the double square icon. That way, you'll know whether the edge is off screen or not.
    Only certain windows can be brought to the top or bottom since those are reserved for toolbars and the Properties Inspector respectively.

  • How do I make the "Find Panel" (Ctrl-F) more ME friendly?

    After quickly resolving and only recently glitch in an older Firefox version (17.0.1) concerning stubborn restore of last sessions upon start up, using now version 27.0.1, I am now frustrated with the Find Panel (using Ctrl-F). How do I revert the Find Panel to older (not to mention MORE PRACTICAL!) version? If a visualization is actually necessary, I found a link that may be helpful: http://s11.postimg.org/qsc5piwr7/ff_find.png .
    Focusing ONLY on the Find Panel, the version I am looking for is on
    the top, while the newer (not to mention INFERIOR!) version can be
    found on the bottom.
    If I have to get another version, please let it also be able to use the Norton Toolbar, but I would much rather be given the instructions on how to simply edit the version I have now (27.0.1) so as to change only the Find Panel as I described above.
    If you noticed, I'm getting super frustrated and also very picky, but as things Mozilla, Google, etc. go on, making what I suppose they call "progress," they all start to diminish in their functions. I'm not looking for a special looking internet browser, but one that works, user friendly, ME friendly. If Firefox has a few bugs to work out, work `em out, but for heaven's sake, stop altering the orientation of tools in the browser, rendering it far less practical than its wiser ancestral versions. I digress though . . .
    I'm using Firefox 27.0.1, extremely loathe the Find Panel (Ctrl-F), how can I switch to an older and
    better Find Panel (while at the same time also maintianing compatibility for Norton Toolbar)?

  • How are businesses handling the "APPLE LOCK" on company cell phones when an employee leaves and their phone is unusable because the euipment was set up on the employee's personal Apple Account with their ID and password?

    How are businesses handling the "APPLE LOCK" on company cell phones when an employee leaves and their phone is unusable because the euipment was set up on the employee's personal Apple Account with their ID and password?  When an employee leaves a business and the company has purchased the equipment, the company should have the rights to reissue the equipment and Apple should provide an alternative to unlock the equipment from the employee's personal APPLE account and password so the company (that purchased the equipment) can reissue the line and equipment to another employee.

    If you can prove ownership to Apple, they may be able to help you.
    The best way of handing things would be strong policies requiring that the equipment be turned in in a usable state. i.e. not activation locked. Failing this, the employee should be charged the cost of the replacement phone. Held from their final paycheck if required.

    Hi Vlad,
    Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to programmatically read the voltage output to the drive, as the voltage is all determined internally by the controller circuitry on the board. Depending on the controller though, you may be able to physically route the output terminal to a spare analog input channel and read in the voltage that way. This example Analog Input with 73xx Motion Card shows you how to program LabVIEW to do this.

    On a PC, right-click (Mac Cmd-click) on one of the other panel headings such as Tone Curve, Detail, etc. In the context menu that displays, make sure there is a checkmark in Basic. Another quick way to do it is Ctrl->1  or Cmd->1.

  • How do I hide the "preview panel" in Mail. Double clicking the "separator bar" hasn't worked ( I think I know where that bar is.)

    How can I hide the "preview panel" in Mail? Double clicking on the "separator bar" , as directed by Mail Help, does nothing. ( I am not certain where that bar is, but believe it to be the zone where the preview panel and the message space meet.) This issue only arose after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    The only way I found to hide the "preview panel" is to drag the separator to the edge of the window. It shrinks the panel down to perhaps 1/2 inch in height and then disappears only when you drag it to the bottom (classic layout) or perhaps a couple inches wide (in the new layout). It is also annoying to me that you can double click to open the preview panel but you cannot repeat that to hide it. [sigh]
    I submitted feedback about the help file as well - you may want to do the same. I could not find the double click mentioned in the new "Mail Help" - I know it was in the old version.

  • Why are none of the effects I apply working?

    Why are none of the effects I apply working? Every effect I've tried causes the program to "Not Respond", and then shows the program applying the "Gaussian Blur" when I have not applied it. The program applied  "Gaussian Blur" also does not take effect, even though it shows the program applying it.

    Create a blank document , and draw a circle and apply a drop shadow does that work?
    If that does work you may have a problme document. Guassian blur will show on a document with drop shadows, if Illustrator is struggling to prcoess the drop shadow.
    If taht does not work reset your prefences.

    To a lesser extent, the same problems exists on all panels, whether they be in import window or elsewhere. Just look at the Folder panel in Library to see how much space is wasted in offsetting the subfolders. When this was pointed out to the relevant folk the reply came back that it was by design. Bad design, but we're pi...g into a head wind trying to get it changed.

  • How to find VI's connected terminals when controls are hidden on the front panel?

    When working with a sub-VI which has terminals connected to hidden controls is there a straight-forward way to find the terminals on the block diagram?
    I click on the terminal and an outline appears on the front panel but when I try to click on that outline I can not unhide the control. 
    The only way I have discovered to find the terminal of the connected control is just check each terminal on the block diagram which looks like it might be connected.
    I'm using LV7.1 but also use 8.5.
    Thanks,
    Davey

    If I understood the premise of the question it sounds like you have controls/indicators wired to the VI connector pane, but for some reason these controls/indicators are hidden. If this is a VI you wrote slap yourself. If this is a VI someone else wrote, go slap them.
    One way that you can find the terminals on the block diagram by performing a search by text. The context help will show you the names of the controls/indicators. The only problem with this approach is that if the control/indicator has the caption visible rather than the label, then the context help will show the caption, not the label.
    Another method is to use scripting. Not sure if it's worth the effort for just one VI, though.
    Before we get all slap-happy I have to ask...
    If I have a sub-VI which is set for Print on completion and the controls in/out for the icon connector are NOT supposed to show up on the final report, isn't setting those objects as hidden a viable option?
    Ben
    Well, of course, Ben. My comment was not meant to be taken seriously... hence the smiley happy icon. To respond to your question in a more serious matter, though, there's always exceptions to rules. That's why they're rules - they're meant to be broken. Otherwise they wouldn't be rules. It's a strange state of the universe, isn't it? Although, one could probably just place the control behind another object. That sort of hides it, doesn't it?
