Hey Kev -
This is achieved to listening to the Stage object. It's super simple. I
actually have a little snippet that I use over and over when I am gonna do
stage stuff. It's below, the formatting get's messed up here, so I'll post a
lil FLA example, if you like. Basically, I create 9 arrays of the basic
alignments that I generally use (ie top-left, top-right, bottom right,
etc..) And simply add an object to the respective array I want to target.
This object will have 3 parameters, the MovieClip that is the target, and a
var for xpaddign and ypadding that act as offsets to the given position.
Take A Look. Here is the basic code, with no clips:
/* Stage.onResize() listings
*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------- *
* NOTE: Any clips that are moved due to an onResize event, are filed
into their respective arrays below
* as objects with three properties, _mc (the clip being
referenced), x and y padding.
* NOTE: To have a clip move with the stage, use this format:
{_mc:upperLeft_mc, xpadding:0, ypadding:0}
*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------- */
var TopLeft:Array = [];
var TopCenter:Array = [];
var TopRight:Array = [];
var MiddleLeft:Array = [];
var MiddleCenter:Array = [];
var MiddleRight:Array = [];
var BottomLeft:Array = [];
var BottomCenter:Array = [];
var BottomRight:Array = [];
/* Stage.onResize() engine
*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------- */
var stageObj:Object = new Object();
stageObj.onResize = function()
{
for(var i in TopLeft) { TopLeft[i]._mc._x =
0+TopLeft[i].xpadding; TopLeft[i]._mc._y =
0+TopLeft[i].ypadding; };
for(var i in TopCenter) { TopCenter[i]._mc._x =
Stage.width/2+TopCenter[i].xpadding; TopCenter[i]._mc._y =
0+TopCenter[i].ypadding; };
for(var i in TopRight) { TopRight[i]._mc._x =
Stage.width+TopRight[i].xpadding; TopRight[i]._mc._y =
0+TopRight[i].ypadding; };
for(var i in MiddleLeft) { MiddleLeft[i]._mc._x =
0+MiddleLeft[i].xpadding; MiddleLeft[i]._mc._y =
(Stage.height/2)+MiddleLeft[i].ypadding; };
for(var i in MiddleCenter) { MiddleCenter[i]._mc._x =
Stage.width/2+MiddleCenter[i].xpadding; MiddleCenter[i]._mc._y =
(Stage.height/2)+MiddleCenter[i].ypadding; };
for(var i in MiddleRight) { MiddleRight[i]._mc._x =
Stage.width+MiddleRight[i].xpadding; MiddleRight[i]._mc._y =
(Stage.height/2)+MiddleRight[i].ypadding; };
for(var i in BottomLeft) { BottomLeft[i]._mc._x =
0+BottomLeft[i].xpadding; BottomLeft[i]._mc._y =
(Stage.height)+BottomLeft[i].ypadding; };
for(var i in BottomCenter) { BottomCenter[i]._mc._x =
Stage.width/2+BottomCenter[i].xpadding; BottomCenter[i]._mc._y =
(Stage.height)+BottomCenter[i].ypadding; };
for(var i in BottomRight) { BottomRight[i]._mc._x =
Stage.width+BottomRight[i].xpadding; BottomRight[i]._mc._y =
(Stage.height)+BottomRight[i].ypadding; };
};
Stage.addListener(stageObj);
stageObj.onResize();
