ActionScript 2.0 :: Distorted Objects - Modifying Width / Height
Oct 23, 2005
I have a problem where Flash takes it upon itself to modify the width/height x/y values I set objects (MC's) to, usually by less than a pixel. I don't get that.. and wouldn't that mess some things up like when I'm increasing the size of an mc someodd 300 times its original size, then that 0.2 pixel Flash adds in white space could become 50 pixels. Also, when I change the size of x MC, some other MC's will change their size. I can tell because the other MC's are about 1 pixel apart and when I change x MC that pixel is filled in sort of. I noticed some decrease in these problems when I was using whole numbers and x/y values, but it hasn't stopped it completely. I can give an example swf if necessary.

I 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 would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?

I am looking at the SimpleButton entirely wrong. Here's what I'm doing (inside of a MovieClip):
[Code]...
the close_btn.width and height remain 0. Am I supposed to just rely on the DisplayObject members of the SimpleButton completely and ignore width/height/x/y or what?

For some reason I was not able to edit my posts and my posts were being filtered, so they didn't get sent. Then they all got suddenly posted resulting in this mess. I also accidently double-posted the whole topic for the same reason.

I have a flash banner graphic that I created at 1000px wide by 420px tall. I want this to be fluid and fill the browser width, so that when the browser is rescaled the swf fills the horizontal space. My problem is that there is content below it that needs to touch it, but the height is trying to fill 100% so it is creating vertical space between the flash content and the div below it.
I guess a better way to describe it is that I don't want to define the height I just want the width to be 100%. At 100% height there is unused space so I need to make the height maybe undefined or something smaller then 100%?Also, if you make the browser too small vertically the width will not fill. So I want 100% width regardless of the browser height.

How do I set the width and height of my swf in AS3?
This is my code so far:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Game extends Sprite {
}
}
Right now, when loaded it is at some arbitrary default size.
If I can't change the size this way, is there any easy work around that will be consistent?

I have a VBox with fixed width and height, and I add image objects with fixed width and height. I find that if my objects' height exceed the VBox's height, it doesn't show the object. I tried validateNow(), but it doesn't work. The object is added, but VBox just doesn't display it, so it leaves a blank with a same height as my other object.

I'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.

I want to write a shell that creates instances of an app and scales it down for animating. Well, I created my shell class and instanced the app and set scales for x and y and then I traced the height and width because I wasn't sure what they'd be. I thought they'd be based on the stuff on the stage or whatever, but they both came up zero. So I'm not sure how that works, am I supposed to have set those values?

I have two Canvas A and B, A is the child of B.A can be resized by some user actions like adding some UI components to its base.A is bounded by an other Parent canvas B which should show scolling handles if its child A gets too large.I would like A to have the same width and height of B (or really close) while the calculated width and height of A is smaller than those of B.If w or h of A get larger than those of B then A should grow and B will show scrolling.

I'm a student for design and want to build myself a portfolio, showing pictures and being able to jump between fit_to_screen mode to actual_pixel_size mode. The following code is just the beginning.
I've wrote the code mixing some tutorials (sorry, but I didn't find a good way to clean it so it'll be more focused) - I'm a really new about action script.
myFile is a mc waiting for an external parameter run_url - a string contains something like "/projects/illustration/alice_in_wonderland.jpg"
You can see the trace command marked as red. I'd expect it to give me a number of the movie clip's width, yet i get "undefined"
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var streamingID:Number;
var fileLoaded:Boolean;

I was wondering if there was a way to set an air app to fill 100% width and 100% height of the screen?
I know how to do it on the web by setting swf address parameters to 100% and setting stage.scalemode and stage.align
I am using FDT to publish my air package with an ANT build. So it does not use mxml, just my document .as class.

How can I use the width and height that's set by the object's embed code within my Flash movie?
I've got items that position based on stage height/width. Problem is although the object appears re-sized when you adjust the values in the embed, the stage size obviously does not change.
Ideally I'd like to position and scale objects based on the dimensions provided in the embed.

I'm am trying to load an external swf file using a different swf that is on a different domain. I have noticed that it is possible to use addChild on the external swf, but when I try to get its contents width and height using contentLoaderInfo I get a security sandbox error.it is possible to fix it by usingSecurity.allowDomain("*") andSecurity.allowInsecureDomain("*") in the external file.And now it's get tricky, the external swf file is a file that users upload to my site so I don't have control on the code so I can't add the "allowDomain" part.The second swf (the host file that loads the external file) is a file that I let others to embed on their site.The intresting thing is that when I share the host swf on facebook there is no problem, and I don't even need to add the code for "allowDomain" on the external file.I it makes a different, I use HTTPS protocol to access to the external swf

I'm writing jsfl script where I'm setting an element width and height. When I go to run the script, my element's width and height are off by what I set it to. For example, I set the width and height to 800, the results I get for width and height are 799.4, 799.0 respectively. I'm not understanding why my element's width and height aren't exactly what I typed in?Btw, I can go into the "size and position" property UI and set them to 800 x 800 and those values stick. It's only when I set the width and height via the element.width and element.height that my values change on me.

The flash should behave just as if you pasted below image in an HTML file:[code].....

The second swf (the host file that loads the external file) is a file that I let others to embed on their site. The interesting thing is that when I share the host swf on facebook there is no problem, and I don't even need to add the code for "allowDomain" on the external file. I it makes a different, I use HTTPS protocol to access to the external swf. I tried to load the crossdomain.xml file, but no luck. What can I do? the only data I need to get on the external swf is its width and height to scale it to the host file.

I'm working in Flash Builder 4.5 in pure Actionscript 3.0
I have a movieclip (swc) , I am doing the following :
_visualItem.bgMiddle.height = 200;
bgMiddle is an independant clip only has a single shape in it. On debugging the height remains the same (2.2) but the width changes to 5111. Haven't been able to track it down.
