return to original position

[SimonAdrian]

Hi NC
I have a very fixed start of my application, that I would like it to return to after it has been dragged around the screen.
I notice there is a win.restore-possibility after an application has been mini- or maximized.
But I cant get it to apply with my application - if it actually works in the sítuation that I need it to.
The return to the original posistion should be excuted by a button in a child-movie, that refers to a frame in the main-movie.
Hope you can help.

ssCore.Win.restore is the same as right-clicking on the program button in the Windows taskbar and selecting Restore - it's the menu that also contains Maximize, Minimize, Close, Move and Size.

What you're looking for is ssCore.Win.setPosition. That will let you set the x and y co-ordinates of the application window.

What I want it to, is to return to the upper right corner placed after the windows minimized-button - seen from the right.
That position varies from screen to screen if it's positioned from the default left.
What I was hoping for was a function where I could position it as 20 pixels from the right.
I have tried to use setStageAlign, but I dont get it. Either I have misunderstood the function or my code is wrong
Look at this.
ssDefaults.synchronousCommands = true;
ssCore.Win.setStageAlign({align:TR}); //I guess it means TopRight
ssCore.Win.setPosition({x:20, y:0});

Here the setPosition alone places the application in top just a little to the left of the screen middle.
The setStageAlign doesn't seem to change anything at all.

The desktop is not the Stage. setStageAlign is the same as Flash's Stage.align property, only it tells SWF Studio that you are changing that property so it can properly align objects like the video player and embedded browser relative to the Flash Player window.

What you need is to know the size of the desktop and position the window accordingly.

For example:

ssCore.init();
ssDefaults.synchronousCommands = true;

function go()
{
    var r = ssCore.Win.getSize();
    
    var winX = ssGlobals.ssDesktopWidth - r.width - 20;
    var winY = 0;
    
    ssCore.Win.setPosition({x:winX, y:winY});
}

The example gets the size of the window then uses that along with the desktop width to set the position of the window.
