ActionScript 1/2 :: Get Around The Scrollpane Canvas Size Limit?
Oct 27, 2010
Just wondering if theres anyway to override/cheat the scrollpane size limit of roughly 2000+px?
I'm making a site for my friend and she getting pedantic about each set of photos fitting into one horizontal scroll window, only problem, each set of photos has 20 + images in them.
I read somewhere that its poss to use actionscript to arrange a bogus the starting x point on the main canvas, but surely this would only wok if you're scrolling from right to left?
Another thought I had is to embed a button at the end of the canvas size limit which the user clicks on to load the next part othe series, but this would feel clunky and like a compromise + when I've tried linking the swf of this menu into the main movie the button doesn't work.
My friend has been insistent on a scroller rather than dynamically loading images (which can be slow too).

My artist drew a beautiful island but it's 5000 in width. We scroll it as it's for a Virtual World. - it's in layers and we scroll the different layers at different speeds. Flash documentation states that the limit is 2880 BUT it does work in the player i.e.: you can see the full island but it does run a little slow.
Should I
a. Create a smaller island of 2880 which is a shame as I would have to get rid of a lot of good stuff
b. Split it into two images and dynamically connect them with code.
Also, I have different layers scrolling at different speeds which would make things more difficult to look natural.

I'm trying to skin a canvas with an image (which is essentially a custom border for the canvas). I've been trying the backgroundImage style as well as the borderSkin style. I can't get the image to scale to the full size of the canvas though. I was wondering what the best way to go about this is.[code]...

I want to reduce the size of Swf using the size mentioned in the object tag of html. Same swf file size can be different for different request.
The problem is this if we reduce the size all control in swf reduced according to the change in swf size. But we want the buttons and one more graphics remain same size for any change in size of swf file. How can we make it ..

Anyone here know the maximum size of a Flex canvas or UIComponent? I know the old MovieClip class was limited to 2800x2800px.

I recently contributed a soundtrack to a flash movie. The canvas size of the document was 550x400px, and we tried to export it in near-HD format to various formats. This resulted in either no video (DivX/Xvid export) or in a real bad quality so that even a screen capture would produce much better results. My question is: can it be related to that the canvas needs to have at least the size of the desired export? The person creating the movie assumed/stated it would easily resize on export since it is vector material / high res images, but the results are rather ugly

I want to have a text with digit size of about 300, but at a certain digit size, when i increase the digit size more, it will not increase in the swf file (even though it will increase as i intended in the .fla file).Is there a max digit size, and if so, can i increase it, and if not, why is this happening?the textfield is a dynamic textfield made in the .fla file (so not in as3).

I am building a graphic component in MXML that has different states, each state having its own size. I have a "normal" state and a "highlighted state", the highlighted one having a higher height. On this components I implemented a function to be executed on each mouseOver and mouseOut to change from normal state to highlighted state and back. My problem is, in the highlighted mode, the mouseout event is triggered according to the size of the normal state.

I'm developing a Zoom tool in my Flex App, so I'm using scaleX and scaleY property to simulate this behaviour.But when I scale my Canvas, its size change as well (obviously). The problem is that I have this Canvas inside another Canvas, so the first Canvas can't be smaller than the second one.Here is an image before and after apply zoom changing scale property in both axis:At the left, the original Canvas. At the right, Canvas after update its scale (red rectangle is the original size at 1:1, and green is after resize).I need to extend the Canvas to take up the red rectangle (not the green).

Is there a limit to the size of video file an instance of FLVPlayback can handle? I have a set of H.264 encoded .mov files, and all but one of them run fine. There is one file that starts buffering, but even when the browser has downloaded the whole video, it still doesn't play. The file is ~300MB.

When I import a block of text with a link in it (and render as htmlText in flash)... does flash limit the size of the URL?It seems to be doing that on a file of mine. I load in the txt file, with for example this in it:URL...It cuts it off way before the end of it (there are no special characters involved).

I have Flash 8. I created a Flash movie a number of years ago, probably in an early version of Flash. I use it on my website. I want to redesign my site and make the movie smaller from the standpoint of making the canvas/stage size smaller. I don't mean just compressing the flash movie to a smaller swf. Is there some quick way to do this without having to recreate the movie and put in smaller elements?

I have a generalized media player web app that I wish to be able to use flash in. The client uploads the flash to a particular directory, and a webpage is produced automatically that houses that flash file. The output of this process currently looks something like this:
<OBJECT id="flashContent" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<PARAM value="always" name="allowScriptAccess" />
<PARAM value="#FFFFFF" name="bgcolor" />

Is there a size limit on strings passed to a new XML variable during construction?I have noticed what I think is a hard limit on the size of strings passed as an argument to the constructor of a new XML variable in actionScript3. I noticed it while trying to pass a large string from javascript to a method in AS3.
Everything works fine as long as the string is less than about 330,000 characters, but as soon as the string I pass gets a little bigger than that (say 360,0000 or more) I always get a js error somewhere in the ExternalInterface and a ActionScript error when the data is recieved. I am running on IE.Here is what I am doing:In javascript I have:
flashPlayer.generateFromXml(text);
Where text is some large string of serialized valid xml.Then in AS3, I have
ExternalInterface.addCallback("generateFromXml", generateFromXml); (called in initialize handler)
then
public function generateFromXml(serializedXml:String):void
{
var x:XML = new XML(serializedXml);
}
Everything works fine until the string exceeds about 340,000 characters, then I get this js error at this line in adobe code:
function __flash__addCallback(instance, name) {
instance[name] = function () {
return eval(instance.CallFunction("<invoke name=""+name+"" returntype="javascript">" + __flash__argumentsToXML(arguments,0) + "</invoke>")); //<<<<<--- line with breakpoint in js debugger

I have a client that would like a Flash animation that's 5440 pixels wide, to span 3 widescreen monitors for a tradeshow presentation. Flash won't let me make the stage any bigger than 2880 - does anyone know any ways around that limit?I Googled it and found out that you used to be able to scale the SWF beyond 2880 in an HTML file, and it would show well using Flash Player 7, but apparently that trick no longer works in Players 8+.Any other ways to make a single SWF that can span 3 large monitors?

I have been asked to compress a commercial for a client for web. The spot is 300x250 at 10 seconds and I am exporting an flv out of After Effects. I have taken the bit rate down as low as possible and can only get it down to about 872kb. Is there any solution to lowering it down to the required 40k file size.
Also, for delivery would i just need to send the swf and html or does the flv need to go

I am not a Flash user and would like some information as a client. I have some problems with my service provider and wanted to verify his claims regarding the software.
1. Is there a stage size limit to flash SC3 and what is it?
2. Is it possible that the software crashes because of the data added to it (pictures and vectors)? Or dose the crash is happening from insufficient computer resources?
3. Dose a 1027X768 stage require a substantial amount of computer resources? And is a 4 year old 17" mac book pro might crash repeatedly if such data is applied to it? I understand that these are not the general questions asked in this forum

I have an external swf I am loading. It is a text scroller, and part of the way it works is that it moves the text up or down off the top or bottom of the stage when it scrolls.Unfortunately when I load it in a master swf, the guts of the thing are showing through, spilling outside of the intended boundaries of the included swf. (i.e. outside the included swf's stage height).

I have a movieclip linked to a scrollPane.It loads into it fine. The problem is that the scrollPane won't scroll the full size of the movieclip. The movieclip is about 1000 high. If I set the scrollpane size to 500 by 500, it'll scroll down about 600y of the movieclip, but no further.How do you tell a scrollPane to allow scrolling the full size of it's content?And on a similar thread, is there a way to tell a whole swf to scroll? So if you have a swf that's 1000x 500y, and it's dynamic content becomes 1000x 800y, can you make the whole swf scroll like an html page, or do you have to encase all the content in a scrollpane?

I'm loading and displaying a large image say 6000 x 6000 px using an image tag. I wanted to take a snapshot of the image. But the maximum limit I get is 2880 px dimensions using Flex 4, flash player 10. Didn't the limit of FP 10 increased to 4096 px? Then why am I getting 2880? Is there a way to increase that size.

I tried to limit the size of the AdvancedDataGrid to its rows. Currently I am using variableRowHeight to true and at the run time setting the itemRenderer's height. Hence every row has different height. But I found that the logic behind the calculation of Grid's height is plain and simple - measure the height of the first row, then multiply it with the number of rows. Please correct me if I am wrong here I did some POC on the issue and found that during the calculateRowHeight event -> it calculates the individual row height but somewhere down the line it is only multiplying the rowCount with the first row's height. Instead it should calculate every row and should sum up the height. PS: I tried below options:
1. rowCount = arrayCollection.length
2. dataGrid.height = dataGrid.measureHeightOfItems(0, arrayCollection.length)+ dataGrid.headerHeight

I have found this great tutorial, about uploading files with a Flex app, using Php to do the server scripting for us.
http:[url]....Its great, but i wanted to know what changes should i do at the ActionScript so that only accepts image files, and if possible to limit the file size upload and show a message when one of these conditions are violated.
