At the moment I am using _root.image.loadMovie(photo.jpg);to load a jpeg into a movieclip which results in the picture being loaded at its full size. Whats the best way to get it to fit to the "container" movieclips size.Also is there a way to get it to preserve its proportions so it doesn't stretch?
View 9 Replies1: I have a pie chart which takes values from xml and as per the xml data draw pie chart.
2: I need to add images to some or all pie slices.
3: If I am going clockwise direction and I have reached slice number 3 ,then the image to be added to that slice have similar orientation to that pie slice.
4: I have loaded the pie images and made its bitmaps and then added it to some array say pieBitmapArr.
5: Now I need to add this bitmaps to individual pies.
6: Further the overall dimension of pie image and pie drawn doesn't match.
7: And when I use addChild method to individual slice ,all the picture arrange themselves at the top left i.e. 0,0 position of the stage.
8: I want the image to exaclty fit on pie drawn but I am not able to do it.
9: Further I have used slice.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData) but also it doesn't yield anything,just blank pie.
I'm doing liquid layouts, and resizing my images while constraining proportions. Here is the code I'm using:
Code:
image.y = (stage.stageHeight/2) - (image.height/2)
resizeMe(image, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
//The resizing function

I want it to resize and totally centre itself in the middle of the screen. HOWEVER. I also want to nudge it down 100px, and THEN resize it. I'm having no luck with this though I can move it down 100 px, but then it resizes and positions itself as though it was still in the centre.
does anyone have an equation for resizing mc and constraining the prooprtions also.. through AS
View 6 RepliesIm developing a full browser flash website for a photographer and I should make the pictures really big. Now my problem is that when you see the website in a smaller resolution than the one im using, images get too big. What i need is a function that resizes the image box according to the stage size, but I dont know how to constraint the image proportions. For instance I would make something that would do imageMc._width=Stage.width*0.8 so I could have the image with 80% of the screen size.... but how to make it proportional with height?url...
View 2 RepliesI'm working on my portfolio site and would like to resize the background only like this site [URL]For resizing a flash movie, I tried this script
Quote:
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
//size bg_mc to match stage size
[code]....
It succeeds resizing but is NOT in proportion
1. editing the script thus the picture resizes with contrain proportions?
2. I'd also like to have it centerized during resize.
My problem is that I want to scale my symbol in ONE specific direction. Up, down, left OR right. Flash automaticaly scales a symbol equaly to both sides, changes the x/y values of the opposite edge from the symbol, but I don`t want this.
I mean, I want to scale my symbols just like shapes. If I scale to the right, the left side stays on the same X/Y values.
I can`t do this on flash IDE nor in actionscript. I would like to know if there are any solution to both cases
I want this because in my movie clip I have a mask (a symbol made from a square) and I need it to scale upwards. But doing this by code makes it enlarge downwards equally screwing up my animation.

I have made my flash movie on a really wide screen, and i didnt realize that when I publish my movie, regular monitors cut off part of the movie...is there a way to get the broswer (mozilla/IE) to resize the flash movie so it fits on screen for the user without distorting the movie?
View 2 RepliesFor some reason whenever I post my flash site online it does not fill the entire window properly. The scroll bar is always on the side making it so I have to scroll down to see the tiny bottom part that is cut off. And there is always a grey border surrounding the flash part of the site. Here is a link to the site so you can see what I'm talking about.

How can I resize an image, but to keep the proportions between width and height?
View 2 Repliesi've got 4 coodinates an need to fit a fit movie clip to them, so each corner of the movieclips is on one coordinate.The only thing i could find it tranforming it with a matrix and angles (see example), but these cant be the best solution for my problem to calculate all the angles etc.
var degX:Number = 0;
var degY:Number = 0.3;
//Get the transform matrix for the object to skew
var m:Matrix = bild.transform.matrix;

I'm in a Flash Pro project with my View3D as big as the stage and I'm trying to make a cube of the dimension of the stage which would fit exactly the View. Practically the user shouldn't be aware of the presence of a 3D cube (until I animate it) How can I achieve this?
View 3 RepliesI have an flv loaded externally. I've added it to a movieclip and want it to fill the stage as my background and scale proportionally. The proportions work fine and the movie seems to scale fine. My problem is the movie doesn't start right away. It shows blank until I resize the browser then it shows up fine.Here is the code:

I'm creating a simple banner for my site and have run into problems with easing.
What I want to happen is for the title of my site to bounce into place from frames 1 to 60 and then for an adjacent tag line to transition from blurry to clear during frames 61 to 90.
This is what my timeline looks like:
What I can't figure out for the life of me is how to get the title to remain on the stage after it stops bouncing on frame 60.
I tried extending the bounce tween to frame 90 then using the motion editor to shrink it to frame 60, but, for some reason it becomes distorted and no longer looks like a bounce:
What's the trick to getting the title to stay in place?
I have been trying to convert my swf files to flv.
I've tried a whole bunch of converters and I can't find one that will preserve the interactivity of my file.
I'm trying to recreate old NES style games in flash. One major problem i'm running into is little "jumps" in the pixels.For example, when putting the sprites together in a movie clip, the 3rd running sprite, when running in the flash player, has a slightly thicker black border line on it than the other sprites. (The "black border" is just the black pixels outlining the actual sprite)
View 2 RepliesI have a website I'm making. The contents of it is set via xml documents.Now because in the xml for the sake of keeping it clean I make sure when setting all text to any TextField I set it with condenseWhite set to true:[code]Now this condense white creates a few weird bugs when using htmlText... things like img tags acting really weird and the sort.But that isn't my concern right this second. What I want to do though is allow the user to choose the ability to preserve whitespace in some manner for instance here is the main xml document loaded and used to load all subsequent docs:[code]
I've tried stick in there and that fails. I've tried the <pre> tag from html, failed, which I assumed it would. %20 doesn't either.I also thought of sticking a "preserve" attribute on it and checking that before setting text (as you can see in the xml code)but in some scenarios in my application it creates very convoluted code just to update dynamic textFields (I have textfields that swap out a lot, like in the photogallery as can be seen here: URL...Or maybe knows a site that has a well documented explanation of the html abilities of the TextField.I've been reading around on the internet and playing in flash for a while now testing different things and still no result.
I was wondering if there's a way to embed a swf in an AS3 project without the swf losing its instance names. For example, say I embed Main.swf and it has an instance of a button called close_btn. If I embed with:
Code:
[Embed (source="Main.swf")]
private static var $Main:Class;
public static var Main:MovieClip = new $Main();
then I do something like...
Code:
var main:MovieClip = Main;
addChild(main);
trace(main.close_btn);
I get a run-time error saying that the symbol close_btn could not be found. how to embed a swf with visible instance names?
I like to know how to pursue this effect to have the active button highlighted. So visitors know which page are they on. Second part is how to have the fade out effect on the rest while have mouse over on certain text
View 9 RepliesI am making app that works as stand alone, do some calculations and sting formating. Also it need to save data localy, and be able to reload it when needed. I have read that Shared Objects do that but also have limitation. For example the data can be deleted without user doing it. I need the data to somehow persistend and been able to delete only by the user of the app. As extra exporting data for other user will be usefull, but is not requared.

View 2 Repliesi been trying to figure out a way to make sure my property values from my xml file are fitting sweetly into my classes.
using 'property is XClassType' pretty much tells me if its an array, boolean, number. But strings are a bit weird. Even though the property is declared public var some:String the below test doesn't trigger it being set to a String. Are Strings different than Boolean, Array, Number, etc.?
Code:
if (myTarget[i] is String) {
trace("prop is string");
myTarget[i]=String(mySource[i]);
}
i have the following problem: when i publish my site (all in flash) with stage.scalemode=exactfit parameter, the page is stretched; while when i use the scalemode=noborder parameter, the page is cropped below;
what i want is the site adapting itself to the width of the screen (with no borders on the sides),maintaining proportions and so allowing down scrolling; I haven't found any answer around the web to this apparently simple issue
Is there a way in CS3 to preserve radio button state (selected or not) from frame to frame?I have a multi-frame app where users select either yes or no (radio buttons) to an array of questions; as they complete these questions they click a forward button to move on to the next frame (set of questions). But I am wanting to add a back button that allows them to go back and change their answers...how I can preserve the state of radio buttons clicked on previous frames, so that when they go back to a previous frame (or frames) those radio buttons they selected are still selected?
View 3 Replieswe have a bar stretching across the whole top of the screen with the following code:

I need to jump the movie clip position back and forth between two positions on the stage--without tweening--via a mouse click on a button. I have no problem doing this by creating a 2-keyframe timeline, and re-positioning the movie clip for each frame. To move back and forth from frame 1 to 2 and back to 1 on the main timeline, I wrote a gotoAndStop action for the button, (labeled flipflop.) In frame 1 of the main timeline:
flipflop.onMouseDown = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
};
In frame 2 of the main timeline:
flipflop.onMouseDown = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
};
The problem is, when the movie clip jumps from position A to position B on the stage, the movie clip resets to frame 1. I need the movie clip to hold its current frame as it changes position from frame 1 to 2 and back to 1. How do I do this, and would the method be the same if the single button controlled the movement of multiple movie clips?
