Here I am trying to resize a movie clip which contains some dynamic text with scrollbar in a swf using mouse.I am able to resize the movie clip using "setProperty". But unable to control the behaviour of the scrollbar. when I am increasing the size of the movie clip the scrollbar should automatically disappear. But I am unable to do so.

I am trying to re-size a movie clip which contains some dynamic text with scroll-bar in a swf using mouse. I am able to re-size the movie clip using "setProperty". But unable to control the behavior of the scroll-bar. When I am increasing the size of the movie clip the scroll-bar should automatically disappear.
Here is the link of the swf I am working on: [URL]
Here is the code I have used for the resizer:
if (this._x <= 20) {
setProperty(_root.cont.frames, _width, 20);
setProperty(this, _x, 20);
} else {
setProperty(_root.cont.frames, _width, this._x);

I've seen this pretty slick flash site where the content is clearly loaded in dynamically and the browser scroller bar is used.
View 4 RepliesI have two movieclips, one loads an image, I resize that mc and add it in a bigger movieclip which has to be resized too. My problem is that that the inner movieclip doesn't resize the way I want although I've tried many variants of the sequence of the commands. I've also taken into account something that I read that an empty mc resizes strangely but it didn't change anything.
that's the code:
loader_mc.x=0;
loader_mc.y=0;
cont_mc.x=1440;
[Code]....
red mc is the outer one but the sizes of the inner are not right it should be about one third of the outer but it's about two thirds. same with the height.
All I want is to be able to resize them independenlty. with the outter beeing bigger than the inner

the size of the outer is right 1440x1000 but the sizes of the inner are not right it should be about one third of the outer but it's about two thirds. about same with the height.
All I want is to be able to resize them independenlty. with the outter beeing bigger than the inner. Or to be exact I want the the inner to fit exactly the height or the width of the outer depending on which site of the inner is bigger( for example if the inner's width is bigger than its height then the inner width gets as big as the outer's width and then inner's height gets resized according to its ratio) and furthermore to center it in the middle of the outer.
As part of my flash design, I want to have some tweening text. At the beginning of the tween, the height of the text needs to be distorted ('too tall'), and at the end of the tween, the text will have settled into its correct height. However, when I try to scale the text in the first keyframe of the tween, the font size changes along with the text field height. Normally, I could just make the text into an image, but this needs to be a dynamic text field. Is there no way to scale the height of the text field and distorting the text height without changing the font size?
View 1 RepliesI have an empty textbox with the basic scroll bar component. Nothing is in the text box so the arrows are greyed out on the scrollbar. I have a button that loads text into the textbox, but the component does not update itself to accomodate text that is larger than the text box.
how can I make it so that the scrollbar changes when text is added.....also If I put text in the text box in flash, when I publish it gets the scrollbar fine, but it will not adjust itself when I click on the button that loads different text into the text box. what happens is the scroll bar stays the same regardless on the size of the loaded text.
I'm building a site and I would like to add a scrollbar to a text area that swaps out xml text files. Currently, I have up and down arrows to scroll the text, but I would like to have an actual scrollbar instead since there is a lot of text in some of the sections. Here is a link to the current version of the site with the up and down arrows: [URL]
I can make the scrollbar work just fine if I put the text in the first frame, but whenever I set it up to call on text files, then the scroll bar won't work. Obviously, I'm pretty new at Flash. I've attached an FLA with the text box.
I import text to a text field via xml. How do I detect if it is too much text in a text field so a scrollbar is needed?
View 3 RepliesI have a scrollbar, this charge some external text, but the trouble is the next. I charge different text in the same text box when i move the scroll to down and charge another text the scroll continue in the same position i left the last time. I need when i change the text this begging in the 0 position.This is the code i used in the scroll.
Code:
function FNSCROLL(){
if(this.scrollText != undefined ){

I am new to Actionscript 3 and i am making a basic flash site using CS4 and AS3.I need to have an image as my background that resizes whenever the window/browser is resized and that works perfectly. I also need to import another SWF to the stage as this contains the main body of the site, this SWF needs to be centered at all times on the stage even on a resize.I have pasted some code below as what i have working at the moment is the SWF gets imported, the background does scale and resize etc but the movieclip won't center when first launched and i just can't figure it out.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip in an external swf, called menubg. In the library properties tab, it reports the size as 1024x768.I use an embed statement to pull the movieclip from the swf at compile time. It comes in just fine (as a Sprite since that seems to be the only way to instantiate an object from an external swf), you can see it without a hitch, but tracing out the size info does not return the same WxH as the original.Here's some code, and the trace outs
var mbg:Sprite=new wpa_menuBG;
trace(mbg.width,mbg.height); // 1028.95 777.95 -- that's not right
// the screen container[code]......
I'm trying to resize a moviclip in the stage with a handler, but i can't find the solution for attaching the handle to the movieclip.
View 4 RepliesI have a movieclip that I am masking dynamically. The reason for masking the movieclip is because it can be different heights depending on user feedback to some questions. I want to add a scrollbar if the movieclip exceeds the mask area that will allow the user to scroll to see the rest of the movieclip.

View 6 RepliesI have 2 moveclip called view_mc and restricted and button called btn_scale.
When the user click and drag btn_scale, it resizes the view_mc where the width and height of view_mc dosen't exceed the width and height/2 of restricted area.
I made that. But when view_mc reaches the width and height/2 of restricted area, I can't resize view_mc to be samller. (The btn_scale looks like it's disables and can't use it)
I think some logic is missing. I highlighted the code that is missing some logic.
var clickedX:Number;
var clickedY:Number;
var newScale:Number;

I am searching all over google for an easy way to resize images but the problem I am having is that .x does not work .width does not work ._width does not work. ._x does not work. How can I do something as easy as changing the width height of a picture? I am loading the photo into a movie clip using the Loader class
var i = new Loader();
i.load(new URLRequest("a.jpg"));
// here I try to write a code that will change the size of the image.
photon.addChild(i); //photon is the name of the movie clip instance
And have tried. all of the codes mentioned above on both the actual movie clip instance and the loaded image on variable (i).
I have been working with actionscript 2 / xml for quite a while now and this is the first time I have come upon this one. I have one movieclip in the library that I attach using attachmovie for that generic "glassy" vista type look. Only thing is, when I resize it via actionscript, it resizes incorrectly. Flash ells me it's correct via trace, but it obviously isn't. If I delete the border line off of the movieclip, it resizes fine! I have the clip set to none for scale under the properties tab(with the line and fill selected). The line has a gradient but it does the same thing if solid. What I'm wondering is has anyone else run into this and have they found a workaround?

I have a movie clip named "shapes" that I use as a pseudo-background for my .swf, I alter the color of the movieclip by using the following code;
on (press) {
var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(0x003366);
}
So that each section of my site has a unique color. The problem is I want to publish this as fullscreen (Publish Settings, set Dimensions to "Percent" and Width and Height to 100). For this to look right I need the movieclip "shapes" to expand to 100%.
I'm creating a history timeline and I would like to make sure that when the dragger on the scrollbar is on a certain time period, the movieclip is on that time period as well. Is there a way to have the dragger to listen for when it reaches a specific time period on the scrollbar and have it align the movieclip appropriately?
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip button with a text box within it. The text box also has a scrollbar component attached. Since the movie clip button has roll-over functionality [ btn.onRollover = function() ], I believe that's taking precedence over the inner scrollbar. I guess this goes back to the common problem of a button inside of a button.
View 8 RepliesI've removed all of the math I had done. Just trying to get the content area (_scrollable) to move up and down behind the mask in the opposite direction, just as you'd expect a scrollbar to do to a content area.
Dragging of the scrollbar is setup and this just needs some simple math coding in the thumbMouseMove function.
i'm making a flash movie that's going to load some text from a text file. i don't know how long each of the variables within the text file will be though, so i need to resize the text box that they are going to be displayed it. is there anyway that i can do this so that all of the text is displayed and not cut off by the text box being too small

scroll a movieclip inside a swf with the browser scrollbar? I'm not talking about something like swfFit or so but actually controling a mc on stage while the rest of the swf stays in place? I've seen this done in a site that I don't remember the url to. Don't know though if they placed a div containing a swf on top of the "main" swf.
