I have 2 .swf files.#2 will be dynamically loading into #1.
Lets say the stage size of #1 is 600x400.
Lets say the stage size of #2 is 800x600.
Is it possible to load a larger .swf file (#2) into a smaller one (#1), and somehow see the whole thing? As in, not crop the embedded file to the dimensions of the smaller "containing" file?
How can I set the parameters of a smaller mc, to be placed on top of a larger mc, and not have the active ingredients (such as some random floating objects) roam outside of the smaller mc? The problem I am having at the moment, is my objects will not stay inside the smaller mc, but instead, roam all over the larger mc below it. So I'm thinking I need to set up some solid parameters for the smaller mc. I was up late, late last night on all sorts of actionscript boards, and still haven't found the answer. I am using flash 5, and the small mc is, once again, on TOP of a larger mc.

View 1 RepliesI want a circle to get large. No problem:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xscyle<200) {
_xscale+=10;
}
}
but now: when the circle has reached the desired size I want him to shrink back to e.g. 150
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xscyle>150) {
_xscale-=10;
}
}
I have problems because at a certain time both if-conditions would be fullfilled and nothing happens.
I want to accomplish this. I want to have two buttons and my piece of text. When the user clicks the plus button the text gets larger. When the user clicks the minus button the text gets smaller.
View 3 RepliesFor lack of a better description, I have a world of bitmaps, but some are outside the boundaries of the stage. How can I scale my world larger and smaller to effective zoom in and out?
View 7 RepliesBackground: Sorry for the complex title, but can't think of a better way to describe this. So I have an image which is constantly moving and rotating (using matrix rotation around a specific point) on the stage. Problem: So I'm looking for a way that, when the user presses a button, a smaller image (exactly the same as the original one, only 3 times smaller) to position itself so that the smaller image's location is proportional to the the larger one's location. This means that the exact point of the larger image where it is rotating should be the corresponding part of the smaller image, thereby causing a kind of zoom out effect.
The truth is, I'm finding it even difficult to match just the x and y positions so they correspond, ignoring rotation, assuming the position is relative to the rotation point. Even this would be useful.
im trying to create a grid gallery that when you rollover an item it grows larger and makes the other items a little smaller, and moves them to compensate for the larger image and on rollout it shrinks to its original size, and so does the other items. if someone could point me in the right direction (tutorials, etc.) or how i would go about build it,
View 1 RepliesI have a small swf file embedded in a div with CSS. When a button is clicked I want there to be some content showing up outside the boundaries of the smaller swf. Is this possible? How might I be able to do this with CSS/HTML/Flash?
View 1 RepliesI created a simple mouseover (like this one http:url... )with one small image that grows to a LARGER image directly on top of the smaller image when mouse is OVER the smaller image. When user mouses OVER the smaller image the larger image appears correctly.Problem is that even when user mouses OVER the "boundries" of where the LARGER image WILL appear, that also causes larger image to appear. What I want is for the larger image to appear ONLY when mouse is OVER the smaller image.
View 2 RepliesDon't know why it's smaller.Also, I could use .flv in Dreaweaver, but DW always insists on putting a skin on it.
View 1 RepliesI just want to design a button when the mouse roll over the button will gradually become larger (to a fixed size) and gradually comes to the originally size when roll out. I try to use "Adding Buttons to Movie Clips" method, ie, one MC with two layers, an amimation MC (tween from small to big and then big to small) and a button. Add script as follows:
on the first frame:
if (Playing eq "True") {
play ();
} else {[code]....
When I roll over the MC tween small to big and big to small and when roll out the MC gradually small. What I want is when I roll over the MC tween small to big and keep it is except when I roll out.
I have been searching the web and all of the codes I have found are to play external swf files that have a timeline. The file that I am trying to load does not have a timeline. I am using the Flixel framework for this project and the file that I want to play is also made in Flixel(don't have the source file just the swf file).Most of the code I have is from a cutscene template that I found on the Flixel forum. Here is what I have so far:
package
{
import org.flixel.FlxState;
import org.flixel.FlxG;
[code]....
When I run this I get this error: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert SponsorsState_SwfClass@fb5161 to flash.display.MovieClip., all I want to do is play the swf file for a set frame count then move onto the next state.
I have a block of html text which is displayed to the user in a TextArea. Currently, the I have embedded the HTML as an XML object within one of my classes, but this seems like a terrible design. I would like to put the HTML in an embedded file and load it into an XML or String object.
I've tried to search for how to do this, but my searches return information on embedding images and fonts, not text which can be loaded into Strings.
Is it possible to embedded text or xml files and load them into variables in Flex?

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to get this png file as small as possible. It's currently 96kb and I'm going to use it for banner ads. Most limits are 40kb. When I compress this down and reduce the quality to about 50 it only gets me down to 50kb. Still over. I've tried converting it to a vector and a few other things but no luck.how I can get this as small as possible while preserving the blank background?

View 2 RepliesLoad bitmaps larger than 2880px?
Is there a workaround?
I've created a few symbols (movie clips) in my library. They are basically "panels" for user input etc. I've sized them carefully and do my best to have them stay within a 320x240 size. But when I load them they come in with larger width and height dimensions...as if there are some objects/symbols/graphics that are invisible or something.
This happens with EVERY library movieclip i've created.
I compile my Flex application with several swc's (libraries) and it creates a swf file. The sum of the swc's is roughly 4 MB yet the actual swf generated is only 1.6 MB. How is this possible?

View 2 RepliesI have an ActionScript 3 project in which I'm using a Loader to load external SWFs. In Chrome, the Flash Player will not fire Event.COMPLETE if the size of the SWF is greater than 32768 bytes! I tried to use ProgressEvent.PROGRESS and execute the logic when event.bytesLoaded == event.bytesTotal. This works, it does get there, but then loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition()
Can't find the class inside the SWF.
I'm wondering if having large peces of text commented in your code, will affect the file size of your exported file, when you put it on the net.About half of my code is commented, so removing it would reduce my file size significantly, and thus decrease loading time. or is commented code removed automatically when you export the .fla file?
View 13 Repliesusing better code to reduce file size.I've just done a colour change swf for a friend who has a clothing business. Basically it just needed to change the colour of the t-shirt according to button presses.I just wanted to know if there is a better way (more code i assume) to do the colour changes? I'm looking for a really compact file size because there's a lot more to go in it yet.
View 3 RepliesMy swf file is rather large, so I tried changing the quality settings and the publish settings, but nothing I do seems to change the size of the final swf.
View 2 RepliesI've recently upgraded to CS5 and the Media Encoder creates incredibly HUGE files compared to the CS4 media encoder.
For example, I can convert a 15MB mpg file to a 12 MB flv file in CS4 using the preset "FLV same as source"
I do not find a matching preset in CS5, but tried "FLV - match source atributes (medium quality)" Encoding the same file in CS5 with this preset results in 170MB file.
I've tried adjusting the settings, comparing the options in both versions, and I still can't get a reasonably sized file out of the CS5 media encoder.
This seems really broken to me. A 170 MB file is not useful in any way. Do I have bad presets?
Adobe Media Encoder version is 5.0.1.0 (32-bit)
I want to upload larger than 100 MB local file and then send it to remove Java server.
I got these possible alternatives:
Use FileReference Flex class, which is not recommended for files larger than 100Mb, and hope that the application will not crash. Slice the given file to small parts, then send them. For me, this seems pretty harsh decision.
The question: Are there some Flex library which allows sending larger files than 100Mb?
If the answer is NOT, are there some 3rd party libraries for the same thing?
If not, are there some 3rd party libraries for 'slicing' files and sending them asynchronously to server?
EDIT: If I sliced the file to parts, how large they are supposed to be (for proper hash check)?
im using a uiloader for a library on my website. ive got 8 video in seperate swf. files. each have there own preloader which i gave because i used the streaming option for the videos but they didnt always load and i wanted it to be more reliable maybe i did something wrong but im new to this so i did it they way i thought would work .
i embedded all of the videos re-uploaded the site to find that when i click the link to load the video the videos are very large is there anyway i can control this? and is this something to do with the external swf or the main website file?
I have created a preloader in flash, with help from a tutorial, but it doesn't work properly. The preloader starts with loading on 100%. This is what I'm talking about:[url].......I created a smaller file to demonstrate my problem.
The code that I used is:
stop();
import flash.display.*;
this.stop();[code]..........
