ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] Obtain The External Movies' Resolution / Dimension (800x600 Px)
Oct 21, 2003
At _level0, external movies are loaded through a movieclip using loadMovie("externalmovie.swf","targetmc");
1. Obtain the external movies' resolution/dimension (e.g. 800x600 px) using actionscript.
2. Assume the movies have different dimensions and are smaller than or equal to _level0's dimensions. If they are smaller, you have to scale up the movie until it reaches the largest size possible, to fit into _level0's dimensions. Again, the external movies are loaded using a target mc and not using levels
3. Note: Remember that when movies are loaded through target MC, they inherit the properties of that mc, so if the size of the mc is 600x600, the external movie would be so too, even if it were 800x600px . This means that you may not do a direct [AS]MC._xscale = 200;[/AS] to it.
* The _level0 movie will serve as a master swf where the different external movies will load into, and consecutively play (one at a time), automatically (ergo, without having to manually open and quit and open and quit the movies).

I am trying to figure out how to stop a user from resizing the page below 800x600. I have found how to load a new url or swf when below a certain resolution but is it possible to load a frame or movie when the resolution is resized below 800x600 and goes back to the previous frame if resized back above 800x600? I have symbols attached to the corners of the stage. Resizing looks terrible.

My original movie is 800x600 and my external swf is 700x525... I'm using the following script on a keyframe... loadMovieNum("123.swf", 1); ... and under normal circumstances this would work fine... however... I need the 700x525 external swf to retain its size in the center of the 800x600 original movie... right now it's edge to edge and showing what's going on 'offstage' in the external swf! What scripting am I missing? I'm using Flash 8 on a Mac.

The issue I'm having is that I have a main "wrapper" 100x100 (but it could be any size) - it's just there to hold and display whatever content, swf, gif, etc we may want to throw into it. As long as the loaded content doesn't have 3D animation like rotationY going on, it displays fine. But when it does, the 3D "anchor" properties (like projectionCenter) of the loaded swf inherit those of the main timeline (i.e. 100x100 (main) vs 728x90 (loaded)). If I change the dimension of the main "wrapper" in Flash IDE to match what's coming in - the 3D behaves fine, but I won't know what the dimensions of the content will be until it comes, so I need a way (if there is one) to dynamically alter the main "wrapper" or root display object through AS. Stuff like "this.width = loader.width" or "stage.width = loader.width" or "root.width = loader.width" etc doesn't work. Flex has the hBox and vBox

I used Loader to load an external swf file, and try to display it in a fixed area, like a fixed dimention sprite object. And I don't know the exact size of the swf file, I just want it to fit the fixed area.
code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("some path"));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

I have a scalable flash for the most part the site works okay. The problem I am NOW having is I can't get my external .swf files to load in the center of the site based not on the flash stage height and width but the browser / screen resolution height and width... This is what I have so far and it is not working for me..

I bought a flash intro, I dont want it to be an intro, I want to use it as a banner (995x200). I eventually managed to get all the elements right, I published it and preview it, it looked well and what I wanted.The problem is, when I added this new banner to my website and preview it, it still looked well,I got my website ready and published everything but the whole thing just reverted back to what I originally started with (800x600)

I have always the argument with my colleagues which authoring strategy to use. I always attached to the idea of authoring several swf files, and have them all loaded to the main swf when needed. And than attach Preloader to each swf that I load.
Others think that it should be only one swf with one preloader. And have all the navigation to use scenes or goto actions.
So the advantage of using my strategy is that users will not wait too long for one movie when its being loaded. And its more convenient to work on several fla with each have its own layers, symbols, etc

I read the tuts on dynamic loading etc (the one about external stuff like mp3s, jpgs, swfs; and the one with the transitions). I'm messing around with it in MX and all works fine, except the problem I have is I cant check it locally! the bandwidth simulator and profiler doesnt seem to work with loading external content, the movie appears immediately.
So I tried loading the swf from the web (i.e. URL = file://[URL]) that gave errors "opening file" (the movie is there though). my only solution so far is to keep uploading my movie everytime I wanna check it!!! which is CRAP! I dont have a network at home, so cant really use those bandwidth simulators I saw on the sticky. basically I juz wanna load an external movie, and see how the parent movie handles it (i.e. progress is kept track of correctly, loaded notifications work etc.) how can I check all this locally?

how do you debug external files if they have functions that can only be executed when inside the main movie? I hope this makes sense...so the thing is that a movie just exported shows you the values of the traced items (undefined, numbers,..whatever). When that same movie is published and viewed in the flash player within the main movie, the traced items don't show in the output window.

I have three (3) buttons in my main movie. And I just realized that everytime I press the "about me" button, it keep loading, reloading, the same movie. Its kinda lame! So I searched for VARIABLES and thought I could work my way around it.What I did was, on the first frame of my movie, I declared 3 variables; namely:
