[Reading x/y after moving object]

I was wondering about that. Since the UIComponent is what is getting added to the transformManager, & the imageRender object is a child of the UICompnent.

I will give a try to getting the UIComponent information.

[Reading x/y after moving object]

I can add the items to the transformManager using the .addItem(object).

 

var oNode:ImageRender = new ImageRender(x, y, w, h, imgUrl);
var uiComp:UIComponent = new UIComponent();				
uiComp.addChild(oNode);
oContainer.addChild(uiComp); 

 

After the user interacts w/ the display & moved the node around, then I read the object(s) back out of the container to write their

new position to my data stream.

 

// - Loop through the oContainer controls
var oaNodes:Array = oContainer.getChildren();
if (oaNodes.length > 0)
{
// - Loop & process nodes
// ***Note***; The pageContainer has UIComponents, which inturn has a single clsItemRender or clsTextRender
var oUIComp:UIComponent = null;				
var oImageRender:ImageRender = null;

for (var nIndex:int = 0; nIndex < oaNodes.length; nIndex++)
{
	// - Are we an actual 'UIComponent' ?
	oUIComp = oaNodes[nIndex] as UIComponent;

	oImageRender = oUIComp.getChildAt(0) as ImageRender;
	if (oImageRender != null)
	{

//			var myRect2:Rectangle = pageContainer.getBounds(oImageRender);
//			var myRect2:Rectangle = oUIComp.getBounds(oImageRender);

		trace(" - oUIComp.transform.matrix.tx = " + oUIComp.transform.matrix.tx.toString());
		trace(" - oUIComp.transform.matrix.ty = " + oUIComp.transform.matrix.ty.toString());

		trace(" - oImageRender.transform.matrix.tx = " + oImageRender.transform.matrix.tx.toString());
		trace(" - oImageRender.transform.matrix.ty = " + oImageRender.transform.matrix.ty.toString());
             }
}

 

Even when the image node is moved within the transformManager, I always get the inital x/y. The oImageRender.transform.matrix.tx / ty always give me 0/0.

Any ideas?? I get values from the oUIComp.tx/ty, but they are not right either, (I could always convert them relative to the oContaine??)

 

Thanks in advance.

[Reading x/y after moving object]

I know that I am just missing something simple here. I can read all of my displayObjects so that I can save them to my data stream. After I move an item, I always get the original position information that was used to place it in the transformManager. So what am I missing??
