How to center game on fla.file stage?

[Shafiqah10]

Hi. I have a problem to center the import game swf in fla. file. As you can see below the grey box not at the center of the stage which is at transparent box (464px X 610px)

this is the coding I use in game (grey box), this game is in class:

package

{

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.events.TimerEvent;

import flash.utils.Timer;

public class color_match extends Sprite

{

private var first_tile:colors;

private var second_tile:colors;

private var pause_timer:Timer;

var colordeck:Array = new Array(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6);

public function color_match()

{

for (x=1; x<=3; x++)

{

for (y=1; y<=4; y++)

{

var random_card = Math.floor(Math.random() * colordeck.length);

var tile:colors = new colors();

tile.col = colordeck[random_card];

colordeck.splice(random_card,1);

tile.gotoAndStop(7);

tile.x = (x - 1) * 100;

tile.y = (y - 1) * 100;

tile.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,tile_clicked);

addChild(tile);

}

}

}

public function tile_clicked(event:MouseEvent)

{

var clicked:colors = (event.currentTarget as colors);

if (first_tile == null)

{

first_tile = clicked;

first_tile.gotoAndStop(clicked.col);

}

else if (second_tile == null && first_tile != clicked)

{

second_tile = clicked;

second_tile.gotoAndStop(clicked.col);

if (first_tile.col == second_tile.col)

{

pause_timer = new Timer(1000,1);

pause_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,remove_tiles);

pause_timer.start();

}

else

{

pause_timer = new Timer(1000,1);

pause_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,reset_tiles);

pause_timer.start();

}

}

}

public function reset_tiles(event:TimerEvent)

{

first_tile.gotoAndStop(7);

second_tile.gotoAndStop(7);

first_tile = null;

second_tile = null;

pause_timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,reset_tiles);

}

public function remove_tiles(event:TimerEvent)

{

removeChild(first_tile);

removeChild(second_tile);

first_tile = null;

second_tile = null;

pause_timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,remove_tiles);

}

}

}

Anyone can help me to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance.

add your tiles to a parent and then center the parent:

private var p:MovieClip=new MovieClip();

public function color_match()

{

for (x=1; x<=3; x++)

{

for (y=1; y<=4; y++)

{

var random_card = Math.floor(Math.random() * colordeck.length);

var tile:colors = new colors();

tile.col = colordeck[random_card];

colordeck.splice(random_card,1);

tile.gotoAndStop(7);

tile.x = (x - 1) * 100;

tile.y = (y - 1) * 100;

tile.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,tile_clicked);

p.addChild(tile);

}

}

p.x=(stage.stageWidth-p.width)/2;

p.y=(stage.stageHeight-p.height)/2;

addChild(p);

}

not working

[kglad]

is there an error message?

if not what do trace() statements show?

[Shafiqah10]

when I test the scene in fla.file its show like above..

but when I test movie in class its show below:

[kglad]

look at those error messages!

(you need to import flash.display.MovieClip)

[Shafiqah10]

sorry.. where to import that code?

[kglad]

at the top of your class. eg, line 1 insert:

import flash.display.MovieClip;

[Shafiqah10]

already did what you said sir but this happen when i play in class not the fla.file (main fla)

below is the main platform which is the fla file:

[kglad]

what's the problem?

[Shafiqah10]

the load class game not at the center of the fla.file (the main product) on the transparent box

[kglad]

no actionscript will ever change/affect any fla.

actionscript will change/affect the publish file(s).  in your case, you're publishing a swf (where the grid appears centered to me) and you expect your swf to show the effects of your actionscript.

if you want to change the fla you would use jsfl or (more commonly) edit your fla in the ide.

[Shafiqah10]

ok sir..

one more question: after i import flash.display.MovieClip;

and I test it become below? the pics stuck and I cant click other frames

[kglad]

you have an error somewhere in your code where you use removeChild().

if that error was not present prior to using the code i suggested, then you probably have something like the following somewhere in your code:

removeChild(tile) or this.removeChild(tile)

and that should probably be changed to:

p.removeChild(tile); or this.p.removeChild(tile);

or just:

removeChild(p);
