ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Resizing Images
May 11, 2007
FYI: I'm following the Flash Blogger tutorials listed on [URL] with Flash 8. I've noticed that everything works wonderfully as far as bringing the blog content into the dynamic text field; however, my only problem at the moment is Blogger will automatically resize my images, so it doesn't mess up the current template in html, but of course, Flash does not (out of the box).
I need a way to define the width & height of the images in the text field to fit inside the dynamic text field they're in. As far as I can tell, the tutorials listed on that site use an alternate method and don't actually resize them. Lastly, I thought about using CSS to adjust the img size, but from what I gather there are very few items at my disposal.

I am working on a site at the moment (product catalogue) for this company. I have a problem with the images i am using. It is taking too much time and effort to resize all the images in a photoediting programme. I was woundering would it be possible to automatically resize the images within my area. I have the images loading up within a layer mask. I was just wondering if it is possible to tell flash to set a true scale setting within the area mask. I have noticed while editing image size in photoediting programmes I do suffer from a fundamental problem. Even when I constrain the proportions within an image re-size flash dos tend to distort this a little.
PHP Code:
function setSubComboArray() { mySelectedItem = main_cb.getSelectedItem().data; title.text = main_cb.getSelectedItem().label; // trace(mySelectedItem+"/"+mySelectedItem+".jpg"); loadMovie(mySelectedItem+"/"+mySelectedItem+".jpg", "_picWin"); loadVariablesNum(mySelectedItem+"/"+mySelectedItem+".txt", 0);}

I have searched forever trying to find out how to do this. All the tutorials or answers I find aren't quite what Im looking for so I figure it would just be best for me to try posting.
What I want to do is load an image dynamically into a movie clip either created physically inserting it onto the stage or using .createEmptyMovieclip(). After the image has been loaded I want to be able resize the movieclip with the image inside of it, or somehow get the .height and .width of the image or the movieclip with the image in it and then have it resize keeping its proper dimensions.
Ex: I have an image that is say, 800x600. I want to be able to load that image in dynamically into 2 seperate movieclips (one being a main display, and one a smaller thumbnail).

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?

Ok, got a problem that's driving me up the wall. I have 3 objects: tab, tabShadow, (both movieClips) and menuText (a dynamic text field), all of which are themselves contained in a movieClip. What I'm trying to do is have tab & tabShadow resize based on how big the dynamic text field (menuText) is, and then align everything. The ultimate idea is to create a dynamic menu based on XML.
The problem though is that a) the textfield won't resize even if the amount of text fed it is too big, and b) because of (a), the movieClips won't resize based on the textfield. I also can't figure out a good way to align them (just making the ._x / ._y values equal puts the textfield way outside the other movieClips).
Here's the actionscript code, and I've attached a copy of the .fla (done is CS4, but saved in CS3 mode) just in case it's a matter of the centerpoint being off or something. This is all in the container movieClip.

I need to include a feature on an app I'm building that allows the user to upload an image and manipulate it in various ways including adding text. This is basically a way to design custom printed merchandise as is already found on many websites and will be overlayed on a background image of whatever is being customised e.g. T-Shirt.The basic requirements are: resize, crop and rotate image against background. Overlay and change position/colour/style of text against image. Preview the final design against the background.
I know that flash is possibly the best solution but I was really hoping to avoid it and use Jquery instead. While there is plenty out there for resizing and cropping images with javascript there doesn't seem to be anything that fits my needs.

I want to use the UI Text Scroll component on a text box. When I make the initial text box,it is the normal 1 line in depth, based on the font size. When I paste the type into the box it gets very long, which is fine, but when I try to make the text box smaller using the transform tool so that I can make it fit the movie, it makes the type smaller as well. Is there a way to change the height of the box, without it effecting the text inside?

I've tried a lot of online tutorials for photogalleries but can't find what I'm looking for.I need to bring in my images from xml so that they will fill the thumbnails (if the width of the image is greater than its height then it will scale to the height of the thumbnail) and center within that thumbnail.
Then, when I click on a thumbnail, I need that image to fill the space allowed for the large photo (this time if the width of the image is greater than its height then it will scale to the width of the photo space)and center within that space again.In terms if centering the image,I have created movie clips for both the thumbnail and the large photo space (let's call them "imageHolder")and within those movieclips there is an empty movie clip called "image" which is aligned to the centre of "imageHolder". I thought that this would work:
imageHolder.image._x = 0-(imageHolder.image._width/2);
imageHolder.image._y = 0-(imageHolder.image._height/2);
But no such luck.
As for resizing the images to fit the image holders,

My boss wanted me to make scrolling images and captions for each image when you rollover them. I made the images scroll by making each image a button and masking those images. I can't seem to get the captions right though.The dynamic text box I am using is inside the mask (because I cannot figure out how to put it on the main time line and make it work). The rollovers work when the dynamic text box is in the mask, but when I scroll through the images, the text scrolls too and some of the captions you cannot even see. The web site is below if you need to see what I am talking about.http:[url].......
I figured that what I need to do is put the dynamic text box on the main time line and not in the mask. But I can't seem to get that to work.Here is the code I am putting on the actual image buttons. My text box instance name is rOver and yes, I did embed the fonts.
on (rollOver) {
rOver.text ="caption";
}[code]..............

I have a project where I'm loading some HTML into an HTML-enabled dynamic textbox, along with some images, using the img tag. The problem I have is that no matter what I do, the text tries to flow down one side of the image (depending on whether I have the image set to align 'left' or 'right'). I don't want this. I want the text to sit under the image, not flow around the side. I've tried everything I can think of, and I just can't seem to achieve this.

I've set up a dynamic text field and am importing html files into it. The text is visible on publishing, but the images are not, even though if I view html page on its own in a browser, the images are there... so the question is, how can I make my images show up? My research indicates that Flash Player does support <img> tags.

Creating 3 dynamic text fields (caption, caption1 and caption2) on stage loading from XML. First set of data loads fine into respectable fields from XML, however buttons are not changing data on click. Working in Flash 8 using standard XML format. I have traced succesfully. All fields are on main frame (simple test page), but I am still not getting a response from my handlers on prev and next buttons.

i want to make a site similar to [URL]..but when i resize image on AS3 using simple MyObject.width=AnyValue the image always gets pixalated, even is the proportions WxH are correct. In the site i gave you, as you can see the images always get resized in a beatifull way without any distortion (not so munch) when you resize the browser.
So, How can i resize by code images loaded into my flash applications without loosing a lot of quality?.

Ok im new here and to Flash programing... so its safe to assume that i know close to zip. I've based it on the "XML and Flash Photo Gallery" tutorial by one of the guys on here. The centering bit i looked at another forums post. I use a MC(bg) and inside that another MC(photo) two buttons "pervious_btn" "next_btn" I load my images via "images.xml" It loads everything and it centers the 1st image(276x184), but it keeps the 1st image coordinates for the rest which is 640x480 and 480x640... thats where the mess comes in. It doesnt center the next image.
I know lightbox is there and easy to use but I dont want to because of the settings you have to set on the Adobe site for it to allow access and all that... besides i really like Flash! Is there a way to perhaps "reset" the MC, or coordinates before loading the next image?

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).
