MovieClip, addChild and Position

Hi!! I'm having a problem with a MovieClip...
I have 2 different MovieClips... that I'm putting into another MC (mc3)..... the new MC's position is x=0 y=0.... I assume this is default....
what I'm trying to do is change the position of my MC.... but I want the other 2 movies inside (mc and mc2) to be on x=0 and y=0 inside the new movieclip....
I hope it's not too confusing.... I'm doing this because I'm trying to save the movie as a jpg.... and the only way i can see the file complete is when I set the size of all the stage (1024 x 768).... I only want to save the mc3....
here's my code.... hope you can help me
var mc3:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
addChild(mc3)
mc3.addChild(mc)
mc3.addChild(mc2)
mc3.x=292;
mc3.y=126;
//this is what's happening when i save the file

Thanks but no, that's not doing anything.... it's moving the contents....
what I'm doing is a game of drag and drop, where children can choose an undefined number of houses and buildings, and arrange them over a city... that's done.... the background and houses are inside mc and the buidings are inside mc2.... I'm working like that 'cause I must be able to erase everything on each step of the way... erase houses.... then erase buildings..... finally, when everything is over, I have to be able to save the map with the houses and buildings as a jpg file... and also I have to be able to print the map..... that's why I put both mcs inside a new one (mc3) to deal with only one movieclip............ the print part is going fine.... but I can't make the jpg to be just the map.... in order to see the map complete I have to save the file with a size of 1024 x 768... and the idea is to save a jpg with just the map......
so I was wondering if there is a way to change the position of the movieclips inside my new movieclip.... or any other way I can fix this....
thanks!!!

HTML5 Canvas: addChild and position

Hey Guys
I have an item on the stage called 'square1', I have added a symbol from the library and given it the name 'circle1'.
I wish to position circle1 at the exact location of square1, my question is - how would I go about doing that?
Thanks

Knowing JavaScript is going to be essential for you to use Canvas. If you really don't want to get your hands into the code you should do your best with the timeline.
If you're ready to take the canvas plunge then JavaScript has to become a tool for you. The second page of what I linked would show you that for almost every bit of ActionScript you might be used to, there's a translation over to JavaScript that's necessary. So every time you go to do something you're going to be right back here.
The best option just might be for you to take a look at EaselJS. There's lots of very simple demos that can get you started with HTML5/Canvas and will give you answers you want in Flash. Take a look:

Set specific size and position of preloader's empty movieclip on main stage

hey, just wondering if it's possible to script an external preloader's empty movie clip to be of a specific size and position on the main stage? here's the script i've got for the preloader so far:
var my_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
my_pb.mode = "manual";
this.createEmptyMovieClip("Portfolio", 999);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
    my_pb.label = "LOADING: " + target_mc._name;
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number):Void {
    var pctLoaded:Number = Math.ceil(100 * (numBytesLoaded / numBytesTotal));
    my_pb.setProgress(numBytesLoaded, numBytesTotal);
my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
my_mcl.loadClip("Creative-Outrage_External.swf", Portfolio);
thanks in advance.

i could load the movies that way or if i tell my main movie to load the same preloader in an empty movieclip, instead of on the main timeline. however, this way it all looks great, but the buttons on the main timeline won't respond to user events from the external swfs.

Difference between addChild and internal movieclip

Hi all,
What is the difference bettween addChild and the movieclip which is in the movieclip.
we can get those instance from getChildAt() but
as per the internal movieclip we can get instance from "mc.mcInternal".
But when i addChild in "mc" we unable to get that instance from this method "mc.mcInternal".
what is the diffecenct between addChild and internal movieclip.
Thanks in Advance
flashgeeks.

When you create child movieclips inside a parent movieclip, Flash Pro automatically declares member variables for them, so you can access them by "mc.mcInternal". If you add child to a movieclip at runtime, member variables are no longer declared automatically.
You either declare member variable yourself (public var myMc:MovieClip;) or you can always access it by myParentMc.getChildByName("myChildMcName");
Otherwise, there's no difference between the two. Only one more thing to keep in mind: If you put movieclip into another movieclip, you control its z-orderby its layer. When you add child by addChild() method, children are put into "depths", not layers anymore. The lowest depth is just above the highest layer. If you want to addChild() to a specific layer, you have to create an empty movieClip (a holder) in Flash Pro, put it in desired layer and then call myHolder.addChild(childMc).

Need help loading and positioning a swf into a swf

This is the swf I'm trying to load.
These actions load and position a small simple swf just fine and the trace in the onLoadProgress function indicates that it loads completely
but I can't see it. What am I doing wrong?
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var my_listener:Object = new Object();
my_listener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
target_mc._x = 150;
target_mc._y = 100;
my_listener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
trace(target_mc.getBytesLoaded() + " out of " + target_mc.getBytesTotal());
var my_loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_loader.addListener(my_listener);
//my_loader.loadClip("little.swf", container_mc);
my_loader.loadClip("cam01.swf", container_mc);

do you see a rotated swf if you use:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", 1);
var my_listener:Object = new Object();
my_listener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
target_mc._x = 150;
target_mc._y = 100;
target_mc._rotation = 22;
var my_loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_loader.addListener(my_listener);
my_loader.loadClip("cam01.swf", container_mc);
if yes, either:
1. you are repositioning your swf and for some reason don't recognize that or
2. you're changing container_mc or one of its parents _x,_y properties elsewhere.

            txt.text = arr[pos];
P.S. sorry for my bad english

did you create your hair movieclip and assign it a class?

Object Size and Position values not being retained

Hi,
I'm trying to set the size and position of a picture object in a report. This logo, should appear on the top right corner of the report.
The margins of the report are Left - .79 in, Right - 0.79 in, Top - 0.79 in and Bottom - 0.39 in.
The size of the picture object should be 1.574 x 0.79 inches.
I have ensured that File -> Page Setup -> dimensions are in INCHES.
I right click the logo and select 'Size and Position'.
I set 'Y' (distance between top of object and top margin) = 0. This is to perfectly align the object with the top margin.
Now, i set the height of the object = 0.79 inches. Ok the dialog and close.
The strange thing happening is, when i re-open the size and position dialog, i see that the values i set are not being retained.
0.79 becomes 0.810
and
0 become -0.010.
What am i doing wrong here? How can i make sure the values i specify in the size and position dialog are retained.
Thanks.

Ensure File | Options | Layout tab has the following UNMARKED!!!!
Design View
Guidelines
Grid
Preview
Guidelines
Grid
Ensure that "Snap to Grid" is turned off.
Make your grid size larger (.5 inches for example)
What is occurring (I suspect) is that your objects are snapping to the grid - thus changing the position and possibly size due to the Snap to Grid being turned on.

Can you change the units used for size and position in layout editor?

Hello,
In Aperture 3.4, does anyone know if you can change the units used for size and position in layout editor? The page is set in inches, but the image size and position are given in centimetres and I would prefer to work all in inches to create custom layouts. I can't see any way to change this. If anyone knows how it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Aperture uses the unit settings defined in the System Preferences. Set the "Measurement Units" in the "Region" tab of the "Language & Text" preferences to "US"; the Aperture will display the Size & Position in inches, if it is the "Book" layout manager you are asking about.
Merry Christmas!

Is there a way to remove the size and position readout when moving Lines in Keynote?

When moving the endpoints of lines while creating a presentation, a size and position readout appears on the screen. This obscures details below it, often making it difficult to precisely position a line. Is there a way of disabling this? The option in Preferences for disabling this readout for objects does not work for lines. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

I will tell him about that, but I don't think that would be it if that is related to animation.
We're talking about the wallpaper background that get blurry during the phone screens like http://www.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130923_ios7emergencycallfla w.jpg (left side) and http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/09/20/ChangingYourTheme.png ...

Error while assigning the user to orgunit and position

Hi,
We are having the below issue :
1.       Obtain the HR master record (P Ids) created by interface - ECC
2.       Assign a valid user to this HR master record -ECC
3.       Do the position/Org assignment against this P Id or personnel master record - ECC
4.       Transfer the Org Id, then the position ID and then the personnel master ID (P Id) to SRM u2013 ECC
5.       Check if the user is in SYNC in SRM - Ideally he should inherit the mandatory parameters from the above Orgs in the structure without which he shall not be able to shop in SRM u2013 step executed in SRM
Please let us know if this process is as per the expectation.
If so, we are ending up with error in the third step where the assignment is not allowed since the personnel master record is created with prior date than the position and the Org units.
Actually we are getting the idoc with user alone from other system, org and position ids are blank. So we are assigning the user in the system and we are getting above error.
Is this the correct process to bring the users alone into the system and doing the position/organization assignment in ECC now?
Or the Idoc comes with this data as well?
Regards
Venkatesh P
Edited by: Venkatesh Padarti on Mar 5, 2012 5:33 AM

Thank you vikas for your reply.
So we should bring all the data in the idoc(O,S,P). Even though O, S are present in the receiving sytem?

Creating a new job and position prompts customizing request...

Dear All,
        I created a Job and Position through PP01 transaction. I am facing 2 issues while doing so...
1. System prompts for Customizing request when i try to save the new entry.
    What table/settings do i need to maintain for turning of the customizing request promptings.
2. Once i save the entries(after entering some dummy customizing requests), when i check the
    HRP1000 table for the new jobs and positions... The table entry shows 2 records for each Job and
    position. One entry with Plan version '.:' and another with active Plan version '1'.
    I need to have just one entry in HRP1000 table for each job/position with ACTIVE plan version.
   I checked T77S0 table, it has active plan version maintained against the PLOGI-PLOGI entry.
   Please let me know what table i need to maintain to handle my requirement.
Regards
Nanda

Hi Nanda,
When you create new job or position in sandbox system it will not ask for the request number,since you generally dont transport the objects from sandbox to test system.
When you create a new job or position in development system, it will always ask for request number. This is because, in most of the cases, you need to transport the job and position to test system and then to production system.
Without a customizing request you wont be able to transport those changes to next system.
Thanks,
Supriya.

I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

Hello everyone
I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
Hope you guys can help me!

You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

Extending the End Date of Relationship Org. Unit and Position

Hi All,
Please help me below.
Problem: The end date for the relationship between org. unit and position should be set back to 31.12.9999. It was accidentally been set to 31.03.9999 and results to two records in infotype 0001, which the wrong record should be deleted.
This can only be deleted by changing the relationship end date in PO13 but unfortunately, the user doesn't have any access to this transaction.
Request: Can you explain to me on how the end date can be change in transaction PPOME or PPOM_OLD as these are the only transactions the user has an access. I'd already explored these transactions but I can't find on how it should be deleted here.
Thanks!

Hi Raju,
Thanks for this information. This was a very helpful answer. But I only need to extend the end date of a particular infotype 0001 record of a particular employee. I think the report will extend all of the records of all the employees in the system. I can't find any parameter in the report wherein I can set the employee number I wish to extend the end date.
Thanks!

Aarrrghh - can't find image size and position in captivate 8!

I was using Captivate 8 and it was under a tab in properties (don't remember the name of the "sub-tab").
Now, I'm using a newly downloaded version and cannot find size and position (x, y, width, length, etc.).
This should NOT be so hard
Any suggestions?

Totally agree, don't like the UI change neither. One of the reasons I'm happy to know all moving and resizing shortcuts by heart, they still work in CP8. But wouldn't it be wonderful to have rulers?
Shortcut Keys: Moving and Resizing Objects - Captivate blog
It is not as simple neither, because it is in a different location for a normal and for a responsive project.
For the normal project it is under the Options tab, for responsive projects you need the Position panel, both for Size and Location.
