ActionScript 1/2 :: Restraining SWF To Stage Size?
Jul 5, 2011
I've been making some banners for my company to be sent to certain profesional magazines. While checking the swfs, we noticed that, when opend directly on a web browser (as swf standalone), it (a) shows all the elements, including those outside stage and (b) gets resiced depending on the screen size.Is there a way to prevent this happening? I mean, is there a scripting/non scripting way to force the swf size to stage size and nothing else so that we don't show anything we shound't?
I'm trying to get an object to increase in size the lower it goes down the stage, and decrease in size the high it moves up the stage.
It only needs to increase or decrease by a small amount. Basically, it's for a game character. To ad realism to his movements, it would be nice to have this feature.
I'm trying to create a drawing application in flash CS4, but I need the viewers to draw in a certain area only, and I want the cursor to change into a brush when I am hovering over that certain area. I tried adding an if statement to check if the cursor is in that certain area, but now it doesn't draw at all.
stop(); var drawIt:Boolean = false; var startX:Number; var startY:Number;
I'm working on a slideshow where I'm calling in photos from an xml file. How do I tell AS to resize the stage according to photo dimensions? Would I need to list the dimensions in the xml file? If so, how would I pull that into the fla file with AS?
I'm making a mockup for a client and I need to Load the .swf with the exact stage size so the graphic elements do not float outside the loaded movies stage area. [URL]Basic load code I'm using...
I have created a flash project in CS5 and I have set the size of the stage to 500 x 400. When I view it in the flash player as the swf it plays fine. What I want to be able to do is get the swf file to fill the screen with the image no matter what size the end user scales the window of the Flash player too.
i have a bit of a problem with a number var. On opening stage (875 px) the var value is 368; when i resize the stage i need the var to grow till 578 max.
I'm using Flash CS3 and wish to create a movie where the stage is a certain size but the actual content of the movie extends further than the stage. The user will be able to drag the stage from left to right to show hidden parts of the movie. Similar to the idea of a horizontal scrolling image gallery but without the scrollbar (see attached for example image).
I am doing one completely dynamic interface which is control by an admin module. what i want to do is to control the stage size by this admin module.When i press submit in the admin module it will generate one xml file which is connected to the flash flie, and what ever the size is mention in that xml that has to reflect in that flash file. I don't want any supporting file only one swf. I don't know whether it is possible to adjust the stage size dynamically on fly.
I want to read width and height from XML and then change the stage size based on these numbers in an EXE file of Flash. Imagine the main size of flash application is for example 1024 x786. I write a code which interact with user as touch screen and all startup data(like image file names and key coordination) come from an XML file. My problem is, for different PCs, I must set the size of application manually. Some touch screens have different ratios like 1280 * 400! The only way is set the stage size on startup the application butstage.staheWidthandstage.stageHeightdont change anything for me.
I would like to use a tiled background in a flash movie like this guy did It looks like he is accomplishing this by setting the width and height of the embedded flash movie to 100% in the HTML. The only problem on this site is that when the browser window is smaller than the flash stage, no scroll bar appears. Not too great for usability on smaller monitors. Is is possible for flash to tell the browser to show a scrollbar if the browser's viewport is too small to see the entire stage?
I got a swf file called 'NW_site_4_diap.swf' centered in my browser with html. At the moment, anything that sticks out from the stage to the surrounding area get's displayed in the browser. Now I'd like to crop the swf file at its stage size. How do I get flash or html to crop all elements to the exact stage size? Here's the html code I used:
HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head>
I am writing an app that, when loaded byt the HTML, could be any size. For example, using SWFObject and the following line: swfobject.embedSWF("Untitled-1.swf", "SMHSWF", "500", "500", "10", "expressInstall.swf", null, params); The problem is I'm having some difficulty finding the size once the SWF is loaded. I've tried the following:
I am importing 4 SWFs from one SWF. I load them in, and addChild them, every 20 seconds. So the first one will be visible for 20 seconds, then I will remove that, and addChild the second loaded SWF, etc. One SWF is 350x200, but the other 3 SWF's are 700x500. If I addChild the 350x200 SWF, it will be surrounded by the huge 700x500 stage size which can't happen for this project. Do I need to change the stage size?
I have a loadedSwf that i loaded into my mainSwf. I'm trying to do some aligning with some objects in my loadedSwf file, but they're only referencing the stage of the loadedSwf so the alignment is off. Is there a way to refer to the stage of the mainSwf? I tried using parent that didn't seem to work. All the searches i found were aligning to the loadedSwf which isn't quite what i want.
I want to know which is the best stage size for a 1024 x 768 screen resolution.i see site for example in thefwa.com that are full screen in any resolution, but the need to set a stage size for their app.
In my site I want to make my flash site extends or shrink according to the webbrowser size. This way my flash would always be on "fullwebbrowser size".Of course I would like a minimum size too.
I want it to take the whole screen but i dont want to scale it.The elements on the application will change the position according to the stage size,but i dont know how to change the stage size according to the browser size.
I'm widening the stage of a existing FLA, is it possible to widen the stage and to reposition all the layers of the FLA so they move in relation to the widing of the stage. Or do I have to reposition all of the layers individually?
how to get the dimensions of my stage (x,y), BUT only the stage and not all the objects that might continue off the stage included.For example : My stage is 400 x 550.I want to get 400 and 550 returned.
I'm wondering how to set my stage to resize relative to the size of the user's browser and keep the main movieclip centered. But I don't want the stage to scale, I want the physical boundaries to get larger without scaling the content.
The reason for this: I have something that we'll call "snow" falling in the background. When the browser resizes, I don't want the stage to scale and the snow flakes get bigger or smaller, but have the stage show more area for the snow flakes to fall. I already have the snow flakes falling outside the current stage boundaries, I'm just wondering how to make the stage boundaries extend dynamically to the size of the browsers.
I am taking a beginners Flash course and our final project is to create a movie/website in Flash. 100% Flash based. In a previous course, I made an HTML site. For this project, I am recreating that website in Flash. But what should the stage size be? That is where I am stuck. I don't know what a normal Flash site size should be to fit the screen like a normal HTML site.I already know to havethe dimentions set to 100% and 100%. But for some reason, when I use Control > Test movie, it never seems to fit right. It's either crunched together to much or spread out to far to where the header and footer are partially off the screen. I've seen posts on the web from years ago that said 950x550 is the size needed. Is that still the case? Because it just doesn't look right. With HTML the page height would adjust to the content and it would automatically scroll if needed. But Flash doesn't seem to do that. It seems that you are stuck with 1 size and you have to work around it.
