HTML5 target display object get_width / height broken

[KnightMearh]

I have tracked this issue to openfl 3.1.2 specifically. When doing a simple check while dragging an object around the screen to detect if it leaves an area, I noticed the object was no longer updating its position (immediately after updating to openfl 3.1.2 from 3.1.1).

Further investigation shows that if myObj.width (or height) is called anywhere (even in a trace) that object fails to update its position. Refer to this simplified example.

//called every frame
myObj.x = mouseX; //update obj x coord to track mouse x

if( myObj.x - myObj.width < 0 ) //offscreen left
{ //do something }

Simply calling myObj.width (even inside a trace) causes myObj to fail to update its x position, so it stops dragging altogether if width is ever called on it.

Also want to mention that the numbers get_width and get_height return are accurate, it's just that calling either of these properties results in the object itself becoming unmovable.

If you trace myObj.x does it return the value you expect? I'm wondering if this is rendering or logic related, thanks 😄

Good call, the x/y positions are updating correctly when I trace them, but the visual element doesn't move at all.

Thank you! I was able to find a solution to this, there were scrollRect changes (improvements) recently that adjusted how some of the matrix transforms behave. This was one last place that hadn't been updated 😉
