The problem that I'm facing is in regards to the width of a sliding menu that I've created. The menu slides based on mouse x position and width of the movie. I would like the menu to fit to the entire screen regardless of the users resolution. I wanted to know if there's a way to detect a users screen width and then adjust the variable for screen width within my actionscript.

View 10 RepliesI have a flash app that contains a lot of data. Part of it has a video. I want to have an option to expand just the video to full screen mode. I have this working now, however it scales it proportionally based on the size of my flash app. Instead of doing that, how can I expand it to be 100% of the screen width?

I tested my skin for YouTube Chromeless player, and seems it worked properly.All graphic elements, including TLFTextFields, are stored in external SWF, all the AS3 code - in loading SWF.I use ProLoader class to load SWF.However, when I tried to attach Player skin code to my Home Page code, I immediately bumped into two issues:
1. TLFTextFields ceased to display proper font;
2. YouTube Chromeless player ceased to enlarge up to Full Screen width in Full Screen mode, whereas all publishing settings were kept the same...
Although I managed to cope with TLFTextField bug by replacing instances with vars in loaded SWF, I have no the slightest idea what to do with those paddings in Full Screen mode... Neither removing all children on stage before loading YouTube Player skin, nor compulsory resetting player's size can't make it work...
I have a MovieClip that has a bunch of MovieClips inside it. I am trying to figure out how wide the MC is at a specific y value. Not sure if there is an easy way to do this.
For an example.
Code:
OOOOOOOO
O O
O O
[code]....
This is the shape of the MC. It is not solid all the way through, it has MCs strewn about inside this outline. I am trying to figure out how wide it is from, say the second 'O' from the bottom. Left to right. The actual MC.width would be 12 'O's wide. But at that bottom portion, it would be 10 'O's wide. I'm not sure how I can do this.
I'm setting up a menu system powered by an XML feed that will have everything created dynamically (graphics, textFields, etc), and I've started pondering something...Since the menu will essentially be in list form, with each button stacked on top of the other, and since the titles will be passed as strings out of attribs in the XML, I was wondering if there was a way (there has to be) to essentially define a width of the text box, but leave the height open, allowing for multiline = true;, and then to dynamically draw the button graphic based off of either the height of the textField or the number of lines the textField uses.
Will this just be a matter of ordering, in that I won't actually draw the box until the textField has been set up, and the title passed to it? That way, the get height method would return the height of the box with the text in it, and I can adjust accordingly? Or should I try to base it off of the number of characters that will be passed to the box, and just set a limit via modulo or something else to "catch" when it goes to the next line (The problem I see with this is that not all characters are == when it comes to width. "i" < "e" in terms of character width, but they are both just single characters).
I would prefer to set something up that auto adjusts, as this list will be changed in the future, and I have no way of knowing if the titles will be a uniform/won't exceed a certain length. I could try to just "go big" to make room, but then you end up with boxes that look empty, and if I undershoot, I've got to go back to code.
I am loading an external swf file using the following code:
//add close button
var reqButton:URLRequest = new URLRequest(btn_close);
var loader2:Loader = new Loader();
loader2.load(reqButton);
addChild(loader2);

Once the loader loads my image, and I click on it, nothing is happening. Am I supposed to be adding the EventListener to the loader or something else? How can I detect the height and width of the swf file in the loader?

I am loading jpgs into an MC. I make sure I wait to run and modification to the MC by confirming the image is loaded first.If I comment out the IF statements within the function "RW_pic_modifications()" and I trace the width and height of the MC AFTER each photo is loaded, I successfully trace the correct W and H.
My issue, however is when I DO RUN IT THROUGH the conditions within the "RW_pic_modifications()" function. Then any modifications to the MC W and H seem to compound and apply it to each iteration of the next MCs.I confirmed that my code and logic is correct. I just dont understand why performing a resize to the MC with one jpg loaded into it is not reset to the NEW JPG loaded into it, after the new JPG is loaded.
NOTE - I have an MC that stops on a frame until all the code here is executed. Once complete, then this MC plays to allow the pic to stay on screen for a given amount of time THEN it calls on the RW_Pauser() function.I am way over deadline.
Code:
How_long_to_pause = 4000;
Maximum_Image_Width = 137;[code].....
i've hidden the mouse icon and made crosshairs which are positioned wherever the mouse currently is.it works fine and dandy, except if i take the mouse off the screen, in which case it leaves the crosshairs at the edge where the mouse last was.i know it's not a big deal, but it also caused some minor problems with this drawing program i made before (which drew lines between the previous mouse position and the current) where if you took the mouse off the edge of the frame and brought it back over somewhere else it would draw a big line between those two points..so i'm just curious if there's any way to detect if the mouse has gone outside of flash's borders.
View 4 Repliesi have a movie that is using a listener to align the items in the movie according the the size of the screen. However, in one instance I want say a 200h 200w box centered on the screen to stay 200 height but stretch to the width of the screen, animated over say 12 frames. I know how to set the box._width = Stage.width; which will give me the available stage width but it automatically sets it there before the animation takes place. is there a way to make a movie clip where the box starts at 200h 200w and ends with 200h Stage.width
View 7 RepliesI'm sure there are a million posts on this, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the wording under which they are classified.I am trying to get my site to scale so that the width is 100% the width of the screen, and the height, if there's more than can be viewed, is cut off. No scrolling. If I simply use the 100% width property, it seems to also give height at 100% value, so this way the whole site fits on the screen, but there is empty space on the right and left which is not what I want. Does this make sense how I've worded it?

Just wondering as I have never done this before, can Flash with a slideshow component work at 100% screen width.
I am working in a table where I have set the height in px but the width 100%.
I would like the slideshow component to work at 100% screen width but cant work out if this is even possible.
I'm programmatically creating a spark BorderContainer in ActionScript and filling it with a few labels. After I make it visible, it's width is 298 pixels. However, I only know this because I'm taking a screenshot and measuring the width. If I trace() the width, or explicitWidth, or measuredWidth, or getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth(), or getLayoutBoundsWidth() ... ad nauseum ... the reported width is always 42 pixels. Without fail. how the hell I can get the width that is visible on the screen? It's absolutely ridiculous how easy this should be, but isn't.

have a question. Is it possible to detect whether the user used or is using ctrl+scroll to enlarge the screen? I was looking at an example of a mouse avoiding game, which could easily be cheated on using ctrl+scroll, so that the passages were larger etc.
Is there any way to detect this inside Flash, and perhaps prevent it?
