Example
The following example returns the current
x
and
y
coordinates of the mouse on the Stage
(
_level0
) and in relation to a movie clip on the Stage called
my_mc
.
this.createTextField("mouse_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth, 0, 0, 150, 66);
mouse_txt.html = true;
mouse_txt.multiline = true;
var row1_str:String = "&nbsp;\t<b>_xmouse\t</b><b>_ymouse</b>";
my_mc.onMouseMove = function() {
mouse_txt.htmlText = "<textformat tabStops='[50,100]'>";
mouse_txt.ht= row1_str;
mouse_txt.ht= "<b>_level0</b>\t"+"\t"+_ymouse;
mouse_txt.ht= "<b>my_mc</b>\t"+this."\t"+this._ymouse;
mouse_txt.ht= "</textformat>";
};

Availability
Flash Player 4.
Usage
my_mc ._xscale :Number
Description
Property; determines the horizontal scale (
percentage
) of the movie clip as applied from the
registration point of the movie clip. The default registration point is (0,0).
Scaling the local coordinate system affects the
_x
and
_y
property settings, which are defined in
whole pixels. For example, if the parent movie clip is scaled to 50%, setting the
_x
property moves
an object in the movie clip by half the number of pixels as it would if the movie were set at 100%.
Example
The following example creates a movie clip at runtime called
box_mc
. The Drawing API is used to
draw a box in this instance, and when the mouse rolls over the box, horizontal and vertical scaling
is applied to the movie clip. When the mouse rolls off the instance, it returns to the previous
scaling.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("box_mc", 1);
box_mc._x = 100;
box_mc._y = 100;
with (box_mc) {
lineStyle(1, 0xCCCCCC);
beginFill(0xEEEEEE);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(80, 0);
lineTo(80, 60);
lineTo(0, 60);
lineTo(0, 0);
