root._width : ever bugged
- Create a new clip (size 400x400).
- Insert a dynamic text which frame is entirely inside scene.
- Clear the word 'text' in edit field.
- Enter txtdyn in field Name
- In Scene_1, write the following script :
onLoad () { txtdyn=_root._width; }
( we want to display the width of the scene, either 400 )
- Go now in tab Export
Toggle Mask off-stage objects
- Click menu File / Test / Test in player
You'll notice it's the correct value 400 which has been displayed.
- Now, move the dynamic text frame so that it goes outside the scene.
- Test again.
You'll notice it's an upper value which is displayed.
I broke up my mind during 1 hour to understand why a mathematical function didn't cross the (0,0) coordinate. This is why !
