ActionScript 1/2 :: Using LoadMovie Command Sizing?
Aug 24, 2009
As shown in the example... I have entered an action to load a movie when I press a button.It works fine but the original swf was made at 800 by 600 when I need it to be 400 by 200.Is there a way to have the video loaded smaller using some kind of width and height line to the command above?I don't want to have to go redue the swf I am loading in...In the swf, I am working on this for class, so It is not finished or have any real sense to it, other than what is required by the teacher

I've set the publish settings to 100% width and 100% height and have then added the 'noScale' function into the first frame of my timeline. Here is an idea of what I'm trying to create:
I have three movieclips that are touching the left side of the Stage and want them to touch the left side of the browser but centre vertically. I can do this by adding the 'Stage.align = LC' command, but not sure if this is the right way to go about it.
The movieclip that is on top contains a logo and I want it to have a fixed size. I called the instance name 'logo_mc'.
The movieclip below 'logo_mc' is called 'container_mc' and is a strip of photographs that I need to run from the left to the right side of the browser no matter what the browser size. I need this movieclip to scale proportionally up and down as they viewer resizes their browser so the first photo is touching the left side of the browser and the last picture is touching the right side (without distorting).
The final movieclip is called 'buttons_mc' and is right below the 'container_mc' clip. This movieclip needs to remain a fixed size.
Obviously when the 'container_mc' clip resizes I need the other movieclips to move up and down to stay the same distance above and below the 'container_clip'.
Example of what I am trying to create: [URL]

I want to put together a flash gallery of photography for my photography business. I am very good at Photoshop design, html, css, javascript but I am a novice with flash. I can use it and use some actionscripting but my knowledge is limited.
I see galleries like this one: [URL]
The images expand and contract perfectly as the browser is resized. I am used to having to size pics for the lowest res screens (I design for 1024 width resos's usually).
What size should I make pictures to work like this... Does flash scale them down / up / either... are there quality issues with letting flash manage the sizing.

My site has a picture gallery. It works with a movieholder and the loadMovie command. It has 9 buttons, one for each picture, and they work. There's also a previous and next button to navigate through the pictures, there the loadMovie command gives problems.
Here are 2 lines that are used in the previous button:
Code:
_root.site.alles.movieHolder.loadMovie("images/1.swf");
Code:
_root.site.alles.movieHolder.loadMovie("images/"+(fotovariabele1-1)+".swf");
I get the following error with that button:
Error opening URL "file:///C|/school/multimedia/VOLLEDIG%20NIEUWE%20SITE/images/NaN.swf"
I know nothing about a Nan.swf. I don't understand why these lines don't work in the previous button, because the 1 button (the button that loads image 1) also uses the first line, and that works. I know only very basic actionscript, but the code of the previous and next buttons are supposed to be correct except for those lines with loadMovie. In publish settings is actionscript 2.0 set.

i am trying to write an image gallery using the loadMovie comand, loading jpegs into a blank movie clip the thing is, all the tutorials seem based around issuing the loadMovie command as you press a button to actually view that particular picture what I am trying to achieve is to have maybe the 1st and 2nd image of the gallery included in the flash movie and these load up and show instantly but whilst the viewer is looking at these the swf is busy preloading all the other images in the background. The idea being that images are loaded faster than the navigation that takes place so when the user clicks on the 3rd image it is already loaded and displays instantly and so on and so forth question is, how do i achieve this ? Do i still use loadMovie but have one script at the 1st frame that loads say all 20 images each into a different empty movie clip ?

My question is in bold and underlined in the AS below. How can I have a loadMovie command that loads the swf depending on the label name?
AS:
Code:
var menuArray:Array = [{mc:p1, name:"Hardin & Luckett (Marana)", label:"HardinLuckett" },
{mc:p2, name:"Dove Valley", label:"DoveValley" },
{mc:p3, name:"RESUME", label:"resume" },

I have the following which works fine just out side of the loop statement:
loadMovie("icons/test.jpg", "pIcon0.Icon");
But inside the loop statement no image shows up.
I need it in the loop statement because eventually the code will call the jpgs out of an array based on the loop variable. And put them in a movieclip number by the variable also.

I have created an interface that uses a lot of the loadMovie command using levels. Once I have loaded a movie on say level 3...in that level 3 movieclip I will have another navigation that will load and then use the loadMovie command to load movie on level 3 as well. It loads it correctly but the back button that would contain the unloadMovie(3) command isn't unloading, say if the user wants to go back.

I have a photographer's portfolio site in the works. I'm using loadMovie connected to thumbail buttons of each photo to show a larger version of the photo. Here is the script[code]...
Now the photographer would also like to have a next/previous arrow buttons so the user can click through like a slide show. Is there a way to have Flash know what movie is currently loaded and based on that information go to the next or previous?

I have a HTML stageholder, this calls a "mainMenu.swf" which essentially controls my site. This "mainMenu.swf" has three buttons: intro, portfolio and contact which are all individual movies. So far, all good... When I have clicked into the portfolio section a 3x3 grid loads with nine buttons, one of these buttons loads a preview page for four movies, when I load one of these movies it plays fine. What is the path to get the loadMovie command to jump back to the 3x3 grid page from this movie? Basically, what is the command to jump up a directory when using loadMovie?

I want to load a movie loadMovie ("target", _root....) and so on. My question is can you target a specific scene in the load movie command?? I have a movie with a button that loads a new movie into level 0 so it replaces the first movie. Now in the new movie I have a button that unloads the new movie and loads the previous one. But it starts it off at the veru beginning of the movie. I want it to pick up where the first button click took place.

I'm adding text to a movieclip as you can see below. The text is alomost not visible because it's so small. If I don't scale the movieclip then the text becomes clipped. I basically want the movieclip to be a tight container (the same size as the textfield) for the Textfield. The below does not work. How can I do this?

I have a flash document that I want to always take up the entire web page. Setting to 100% width & 100% height doesn't do the trick, because if the window dimensions aren't right, white space will show on the sides/top and bottom.
Is there a way to get the window dimensions are say if window height > window width : flash movie = window height (and vice versa)?

When using HTML and CSS you can automate the size of an "area" of the page an "area" is classed as a DIV and you automate it by setting its height and/or width to auto (usually height only with width given a fixed size)in adition you can set the DIVs overflow parameter
this is vital for CMS managed websites
does flash have any simple functions for achieveing the same result? or if i used flash with a CMS system would i need use AS3 to calculate the total height and width of all child objects and set this number as the height and width of the pearent object? (with HTML/CSS i would use javascript to do this)

My question today is dealing with a dynamically generated button with a textField.I have the button copy in XML and I need to add a buffer of 10 pixels to either side of the textField. I tried to CENTER my textFormat, but then I could not see my text because the button is for some strange reason 545.45 instead of 88 like it should be. When I change the alignment to LEFT then I can see my text, but still the larger issue is my button size is horribly off.[code]

I'm trying to make an online TCG and I'm starting out by creating the table and card stacks. I've set it up where I have a table which holds stacks. The stacks hold cards, and the cards hold a front and back image. Really simple. So I thought. For some reason, the card is re-sizing to fit the screen. Even though a trace shows that the width and height are correct. Here is an example:n all reality, it should be about the height of the white box with the "A" in it, in the top left hand corner. The only place where I explicitly set a width and height is setting the table width and height. The table, Stack, and card are all sublasses of the flash Sprite class. Since there are 4 seperate files for the example above, if someone would need to look at the code,

i am working on movie clip that will change dimensions ( width and height ) depending on the loaded picture size .I made an easing transformation and works fine.
on (release) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.box._width = _root.box._width+(200-_root.box._width)/2;[code]......
I think that it will be much more flashy if I make this transformation bouncy or elastic .I started by searching for tutorials but most of them were about elastic scaling (the shape is changing as one peace )But nothing about sizing , I mean putting a specific value for width and height .

I'm trying to re-size and move a movie clip using my keys, and I can do it, but for some reason, if I set a really low value to "speed", it won't move to the right or down, but it will move to the left or up, even if very slowly.
It is as if flash has problems in advancing very low values on the positive x and y axis.
Add this code to the first frame:
stop();
var speed = 0.01;
var grow = 3.6;

I only have some background on html and java. I made a website using a actionscript 1.0 template in cs5. I converted it to 2.0 and the mp3 player doesn't work properly with more than one track it was playing all 3 at once. I got it to work with one track messing around with files and coding but the buttons don't function properly. For example when I hit stop it will stop but then play button wont play track and the forward and back buttons don't change the tracks.My other issue is that after finishing my site I realized it wont upload to my host because it 18mb and the limit per file is 5mb. I read that there is a way to break it up into smaller files but I am unsure how to do this.

I'm new to Adobe Flash and especially new to Actionscript. Could somebody give an example and explain how to make and "Ignore *this* command if..." style command. Here's what I want to achieve:I have made a button (I may have done it in an odd way but it works) that moves when the mouse hovers over it and then moves back when the mouse moves away. I plan to put the finished product into Dreamweaver and have tried what I've done so far and it works. The problem is that if I move the mouse away before the first animation of the button has finished. It doesn't reach the *Mouse Out* command and then just sticks/stops in the bit where I have put a *stop* command.Basically, what I want is a way to ignore a command if something happens earlier on (such as the cursor being moved away).I've tried to explain the best I can without actually screenshotting it and copying commands.

I have a preloader(as3) that is working great, I use FlashVars to pass it what movie it is loading, then it loads that movie, and shows it on the stage after loaded. I would like to make this a bit more dynamic. Right now I can use the same preloader for any movie so long as the movie and the preloader is the same size. I would like to pass the size of the movie im loading to the preloader with flashvars just like im passing it the file path for the movie itself. Here is how im passing the movie:
var swfLocation = this.loaderInfo.parameters.flashPath;
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfLocation);
now i just access the variable wherever i want to say load the movie
I tried:
var swfHeight = this.loaderInfo.parameters.flashHeight;
var swfWidth = this.loaderInfo.parameters.flashWidth;
stage.stageHeight = swfHeight;
stage.stageWidth = swfWidth;
then in my flashvars i have a value of flashPath=<?=path?>&flashHeight=<?=height?>&flashW idth=<?=width?> (passing these to the embed and object using php btw)

I just did two 100% Flash sites. I always size my sites 1024 by 768 or a bit smaller. I have never had a problem with it not fitting in the browser. I exported with Flash HTML at 100%, no scale.I tested these sites on Safari and IE on different monitor sizes. They looked great.
Both of my clients are using Firefox said it cuts the bottom off by about and inch or so. I did some research and this seems Firefox does this. I read this article below and wanted to know the following:[URL]
1 - Is this the best way to fix it? Or have I developed these sites too big for FF.
2 - Is there something else I could do (i.e. export the HTML a different way?).
3 - Should I size differently in the future?I would like to prevent me having to resize the stage and change all the objects.
