I am working on an RPG game which follows the concept that originates from the Foundation Game Design With Flash. I have created the global game manager and am working on adding scrolling to the game. To accommodate my method for changing maps, I have added a container sprite which includes the map movieclip, and then I add the player to the stage on top of the container. This way when I use removechild and addchild to swap maps, the player remains on top of the stage.
This is how it is setup now:
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
var player:Player;
var CurrDngn = new DungeonThree_Manager();
this.addchild(container);
container.addchild(CurrDngn);
this.addchild(player);
Now, my issue arises because with my scrolling I want to make the container a set height and width, which may sometimes be smaller than the map (CurrDngn) object. What I want to do in this place is to only have the portion which fits into the container object to be displayed.
