ActionScript 2.0 :: Adjust Columns Depending On How Big The Window Is?
Jul 26, 2005
I want to build a fluid layout for a flashbased web shop that adjusts the amount of columns in a table depending on how big the browser window is.
For example: When a surfer enters my site he has the browser window maximized. He can see three boxes with product thumbnails on one row. But if he drags the browser window and making it narrower the product thumbnails on the right edge jumps down one row. The flash movie doesn�t shrink it just adjusts it self.
I'm currently modifying an xml menu found in the kirupa tutorials and Ive gotten stuck. I want the menu to filter into different columns depending on a xml node called type="". So far I have this but I cant seem to get my head around how to filter the menu.
Code:
GenerateMenu = function (container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) { var currNode; var currItem; var currMenu = container.createEmptyMovieClip(name, depth);
[code]....
at the moment all I've tried to do is filter the menu with an if statement to only display the type node with "web" in them. As soon as I undestand how this is done I sohuld be albe to do the rest myself.
I have a website and it is set to 100% of the browser window. Everything in the browser is left aligned. I have a script that when u has an event listener on the RESIZE so that everything will be centered when u adjust the window. What my problem is that right when the page loads the swf is left aligned. I want the stuff to be already centered but the only way to do that is to adjust the browser window. Heres my site: My Example Watch that when it loads its all to the left. Resize the browser and everything will snap to the middle.
I want to save remotely (on a database) the state (visible columns, columns width and order) of a Flex3 DataGrid.For width and visibility I can simply save them by accessing each column attribute.. But for the order? Do I have to create the dataGrid dynamically?
I am trying to build a flash that auto-adjust its size to the browser window size, while leaving the content of the flash itself top-centered in the screen.I have found this solution [URL].. on How to keep centered stuff in this exact case so i am pretty confident i will be able to adjust that script to do what i want.
Now my problem is that if i put my content inside the movie-clip (centerrectangle) with all the animation require, link and other stuff, the movieclip (center rectangle ) never have the exact same center, thus making the script go wild trying to always adjust the location to the variable size of the movie clip.

I need it to stay exactly at the same position whatever the size of the movie-clip. [code]...
I'd like to know where to look for documentation on how to make elements that adjust to the site resolution, or what this technique is called.
Like in here (the floating clip on the left upper corner, there is a menu divided into 2 parts like float:left and :right (like I would make this in css))

Basically I'd need a menu always aligned to the bottom-center of the page that won't change the size, but the background always stretched proportionally to the width of the page upon resizing.
I have a textfield 300 width x 300 heigth in the instance.after i loaded the xml into this textfield (xml_txt) , all the content stays within this txtfield. so if i select the text i scroll down..but i dont want this..
is it possible to, after loaded the xml, to adjust the heigth of the textfield to fit in the text, so i dont need to scroll it.?
I am trying to develop a Image Gallery in which I have images of different dimension I don't able to understand how to adjust the size of images using actionscript.
I programmatically created a textfield and I added it to the stage. I placed the textfield close to a dropdown menu that expands when a user hovers over it. Whenever I hover over the drop down menu, some options are hidden because the textfield behaves as if it has a CSS z-index greater than the css z-index of the drop down menu.
I do not have access to the code that created the drop down menu. How do I make it so that my textfield is behind the drop down menu?
Notes the reason I can't programmatically access the dropdown is because I don't have access to the code of the main flash object, whcih is hosted by a 3rd party company. I'm building a plugin. The remote server looks for plugins on my computer and hooks it in.
I have had to adjust the structure in a XML file and so am trying to adjust my AS accordingly so that it can read it.. but i'm having difficulty as my XML knowledge is only basic.
I imported few mp3 files into my fla file Some of them play too soft and I want to increase the volume to make all files the same volume.How can I do it in CS5?
Suppose I have an IFRAME (or even better a Div, if it works?) set at 50% width. And if I put a swf in there, with the swf's size set to expand and fill the area, I'm assuming it will resize accordingly.Then when I resize the window, the frame and the SWF resizes(correct?)THEN, is it possible to place content in the SWF that will adjust accordingly? What I'm trying to do is lay out a series of identically sized thumbnails w/in the swf that will wrap to the area width. Exactly like a list of inline divs, but within the swf. I'd like to figure out a way to make the SWF know its size as it changes and adjust the positioning of contents in the swf fluidly.
I've followed the tutorial on here on how load text from an XML file into a dynamic text box. I'd like to also automatically adjust the height of my text box based on the imported XML text
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.header = this.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue; _root.content1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue; header.text = _root.header;
I'm starting off with two colors ( 0xa0b1cf, 0x000000 ) and 10 Shapes and I want to blend the colors from 0xa0b1cf to 0x000000 across all 10 Shapes. Is there a way to pragmatically increase the tone of a hex color?
somthing like:
var totalShapes = 10 // number of shapes for (var i:int = 0; i < totalShapes; i++) { var newColor = 0xa0b1cf + black // add back to this color until it is completely black at the end of the loop
how can i adjust brightness with actionscript,is just that im a begginer and only know to adjust alpha, but now I want to adjust the brightness to a graphic that`s inside a movie,
I've been through all the tutorials on flash scaling and stage resizing and can't figure this one out. I have an MC in _y proportion to the Stage.height-40, so when resizing the browser I should always be able to see it.
The Problem: I know how to do this; by publishing the movie at 100% width and height - this works fine. But my flash movie is a magazine which is long, and requires scrolling in the browser to see the content.
As soon as I set the movie to publish width/height at 100% I can no longer scroll my flash magazine in the browser.
Is there a way to readjust the MC _y position as the user scrolls up and down; so the MC is always in view. So it'd look similiar to those pesky ads that follows you as you scroll away.
