Aug 26, 2009Why do you use height for Stage, but _height for the others? ( the same as width and others )

as you see the container._height is bigger than the maxh (maximum height) but the _width is just fine... how do i fix this problem??
How can I increase the _height property of a window without increase the height of the title and the bar at the top of the window ?
I want only to increase the part of the window where I put textFields and buttons.
Is it possible to get the browser height via flash and set the stage height to that value? I know you can set the height to 100% in publish settings, however one of my scroller scripts needs the stage height to be exactly the height of the content area of the browser.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to reference to top level (stage) width and height of the main stage for the placement of something located inside a movieclip on the stage.
My code is:
Code:
my_loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - my_loader.width)/2;
my_loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - my_loader.height)/2;
But this seems to just relate to the width/height of the mc that my_loader is nested in...
I have tried the following and had no luck:
stage.stage.stageWidth
root.stage.stageWidth
parent.stage.stageWidth
MovieClip(root).stage.stageWidth
I was wondering if any of you can spot the error in my code? I got a bunch of objects called 'jelly' that are gonna bounce around my screen but the problem I got is they don't bounce at all! they just run straight off. And yeah I'm very new to actionscript, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

Is it possible to get the stage height/width on something that isn't added to the stage?
View 1 RepliesI need to double my stage size, as well as all of the objects on the stage. Is there an easy way to do this? stage.stageHeight, stage.height, etc do not work.
View 3 RepliesRight now my stage dimensions are 980 X 800 px. I need to cut or "crop out" the bottom portion of the footer because its height is too long. So I changed the stage dimensions to 980 X 600 px (and changed the corresponding dimensions in the embed tag in the index.html file to match). Doing this seems to cut out the bottom but at the same time adds space to the top and seems to distort the overall spacing. Is there a simple way to crop out the bottom of the stage (just like cropping out a section of a photo)?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to change the position of a movieclip I've added to the stage. When I try to access stage.width or stage.height I get 0. I've tried MovieClip(root).stage, DisplayObject(root).stage, root.stage, stage, and simply width and height. All of these are equal to zero.
View 1 RepliesI have an html page that loads a swf that loads an AS 3 animation with 4 dozen 60k jpgs that rely on the tween class to move them across the screen.
I'd like to start the empty stage at 10px, and after the jpgs load, animate the height to 142px, pushing down the html underneath and run the parade.
I'm creating a tabbed UI and using this tut for the nav of it (but with only 3 tabs):
[URL]
..when one of the tabs is clicked..it will show the appropriate content below when it jumps to that frame. However, each tabs associated content varies in height. Is there a way for me to dynamically scale the height of the stage according to which tab is clicked?
I have a parent swf that loads another swf (it's for a client). The parent swf 's stage dimensions don't match the child's. How can the child set the stage dimensions?
I've tried this after the child was loaded, but it's not working:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.stageWidth = 700;
stageHeight = 600;
I have a completed Flash, but I need to change the stage height. Is there anyway to do this with out have to touch every cell. I have a ball that moves across the the stage, and I don't want to redo the whole thing. I've tried selecting all and moving the items, but it doesn't work.
View 6 Repliestrace(root.width);
trace(stage.width);
Both these return 100. Same for height. The stage has been set to 1024x620 in the editor.I'm using CS5, Flash version 10, windows7 64-bit.I don't get what's going wrong here. I'm trying to center something and it keeps coming out like this.
Is there a way to set the stage width and height using actionscript, the same way you might set it using the "size" button in the document properties panel?
View 9 RepliesI have a problem getting my flash to resize when changing the size of the browser window. It behaves perfectly from the beginning but when i resize the window to less then the minimum movie height to get a scroll (620 px) the Stage.height never changes to bigger than 620 px if I enlarger the window. It seams as if the flash don�t get information that the browser window changes...
This is my code in flash:
var movieWidth = 1000;
var movieHeight = 620;

how to change the height of the stage dynamically, with ActionScript. Is there a way to change the height of the stage with a pixel value? I don't want to scale down the whole movie just make the stage bigger, just like when you change it manually in Modify-Document.
View 9 Repliesis it possible to dynamically change the height of the stage?I am using 'dimensions: pixels', and 'noscale' as publish settings. What I would like to do is, when the height of a movieclip gets bigger (because of its dynamically loaded content), to make the 'stage.height' bigger too, so you can scroll more downwards.
I know stage.height is read-only, but it would be nice to have just the right amount of space at the bottom of the page, depending on how high the movieclips are. Reading back, I wonder if i state my question clear, hopefully I use the right terminology.so if stage.height would work i would like to do something like:
Code:
stage.height= MC._y+ MC._height +30;
I have:
- a flash movie with 300x20px dimensions
- a dynamic textfield
- xml data parsed into the textfield
Now I'm trying to scale the height of the movie/stage to the height of the textfield after the xmldata was parsed in. I've tried
stage._height = textField._height.
I'm trying to position an MC to the bottom ( that's the simple part ) of the stage that has an initial height and width of let us say 10px height and 30px width. Ok, and now i want to scale ( stretch ) and tween the MC at the same time until it gets to Stage.height. I'm not really sure about how to do this one, i tried using some conditions, some whiles but it seems that flash kinda crashes so that's not cool.
i want the whole MC to keep on resizing ( stretching and tweening again ) on stage resize... how to tween and scale the MC at the same time ( by tweening i mean just like like a motion tween but the only problem here is that the height would be dynamic ).
I have an AS2 document that's 590x300. When I do a trace on Stage.height it returns 200. I changed the document to 590x301 and the trance returns 201.
View 3 RepliesI have 2 movieClips which I want to make the height and width of the stage. It's worked fine in the first instance (pun, wahey!) but when I add in the second (blackOver) it stops the buttons working and all sorts.
Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
bgmain.x = 0;[code]....

View 9 RepliesI understand how to resize the stage to 100% x 100%, but it seems exceptionally difficult trying to keep a footer MC/Sprite/Shape 20px high yet 100% wide.
I can use EXACT_FIT, but if the browser shrinks or expands the movie clip changes size. Keeping that height static is a pain at the moment!
So, basically I'm just looking for direction. The liquid layout tutorials seem to work for elements NOT stretched 100%...
Ha have a flash project for displaying pictures. These pictures are categorised. So you can have like 3 pictures on one category and then 50 for another. All goes ok. I can search pictures and display them with an opening deck of card effect.
Problem starts when users get tired of going picture by picture. So I thought that a grid displays would be perfect as another alternative way to display the full category. This way user would get both design and functionality running nice on the application. So I started coding the grid and calculated the amount of picture that I could fit into the width of stage regarding picture width (in this case they are always 300px*300px). But I didn't like the result. It forced me to think in a scroll. Again, user would never get that full grid display of all pictures in one category at once without having to navigate to see more or less. So I thought that calculating a way to reduce picture size would be nice in order to fit all pictures through stage width and height.
how can I change the height and width of stage dynamically. I tried it with the following code:
Stage.height = 250;
Stage.width = 250;
during the run time. Initially the Stage is at a height and width of 370 and 450 respectively. Also when I tried to trace the height and width of Stage after resizing the stage width and height, its showing the old value of width and height. That means the width and height not chnaging.
How to Change Stage properties(width,height,bitrate,color......etc) in dynamically...?
View 1 RepliesI have a small issue in ActionScript 2.0. I want to know the stage width and height for external SWF file. I used the following code:
var loader:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('loader', 1);var obj:Object = new Object();var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();mcl.loadClip("external.swf",loader);mcl.addListener(obj);
obj.onLoadInit = function(mc){ trace(mc._width); trace(mc._height);};
It's showing the whole animation's width and height but I want only stage width & height?
i have a website that has a illustrated panoramic landscape which slides alone when the user clicks different pages. but when reading the stageHeight and width values i get the width of these movieclips not the actual stage size being viewed on the screen.
so instead of getting the height 1000 and width 700 i get the height as 1800 and the width of 6000 how can get around this?
