How to make a container/Movie Clip dynamically resize such as the effect employed in this site (animations included): [URL]. Furthermore, is it possible to have images load from an XML file and contain the information needed to have the container/Movie Clip resize accordingly.
View 1 RepliesIs there an easy way to make a parent container (eg Group) resize when it's children resize?
Below is a little example app. When I put the 200x200 'food' in the 'stomach' the stomach & it's containing 100x100 'body' should resize to contain the food.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

I'm trying to create a Flex application that can automatically shrink based on the size of the components that it contains, so that a user can shrink it to a minimal view to see more of the HTML page it's embedded in.
I know how to change the size of the whole application using ExternalInterface, but I'm having trouble automatically figuring out how much the size changed when something is hidden or shown.
For example:
Let's say I have the following flex layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:VBox width="100%" paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0"
[Code]....
How can I hide one of the text fields and cause the VBox to shrink? I'm currently setting it to visible = false, but that doesn't seem to affect the parent VBox.
Once the VBox shrinks, how can I detect that the Application no longer needs so much space, and then go about figuring out how much less space it needs?
I've tried using ResizeEvent, but I haven't been able to get them to work, but I could be doing something wrong.
know how I can resize the stage to match the size of an external graphic/movieclip which is loaded into an empty movieclip,
View 3 RepliesWhat I want to achieve is this. I want a picture of a car that is dry as the background. On top of that a picture of the same car, but wet. I then want an image of a chamois that the user can click on and use to "remove" the water off the car, by "erasing" the picture off the top layer. Is this something that is achieveable.[code]...

I am trying to resize a rectangular MovieClip at run-time (dynamically). But, the problem is that it changes the width in both directions (left and right) from its transformation point. The same is the case with its height.
I want the width of the clip increase from left to right or decrease from right to left only.
I have a loop that goes through data from a book and displays it. The book is not consistent in it's layout so I am trying to display it in two different ways. First way(works fine) is to load the text from that section in to a panel and display it. The second way is to create a new panel (panel creates fine) and then add collapsable panels(nested) to that panel. Here is the code from the else loop.
else if (newPanel == false){
// simpleData is just for the title bar of the new panel
// otherwise the panel has no content

Does anyone know how I can resize the stage to match the size of an external graphic/movieclip which is loaded into an empty movieclip

View 4 RepliesI want to resize a container,, but i don't want to resize the container content: what should i do?
View 4 RepliesI have a stage with Top, Middle & Bottom Movieclip's set on it. On resize the content is scaled to fit and maintain the correct proportions.I am loading each content (page) in as external SWF files into the Middle container using a Loader and URLRequest.Here is my onCompleteHandler function:

What I want to accomplish is to resize an external SWF so that it fits into the display object that is presented as a container on the stage. For now it show up outside of the container.
Important: I do not want an external SWF to occupy the whole stage; I have a special place (that container) for it on the stage.
I have a hairy case here: I need to load from a menu different SWF's (same width/different heights). What I need after this: resize the height of the container box (a movieclip). I have how to explain better all the stuff and post some AS too
View 6 RepliesI have a flash animation with the size of 1280x1024 and I want to embed it into an HTML file. I want the flash file to be displayed in 800x600. This is my code:
<html xmlns="[URL]" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<body align="center"><object>
<param name="movie" value="/flash/connect.swf" />
<embed src="/flash/connect.swf" width="800" height="600"></embed>
</object></body></html>
Well, it doesn't work. I do have a 800x600 frame, but the flash file itself still displayed on its original size.

I want to dynamically add component in Container like Canvas(TileList constraints each child has the same size, GridList is poor in performance), for example
[Code]...
when I click the button, I hope add a component(whatever the component is, and maybe each component has different size), and if the total width of all added child is greater than myHolder, I hope the new child can begin in new line, and stretch the height of myHolder at the same time.(layout with custom code is better)
I have a scenario where I want to dynamically add words of text to a container so that it forms a paragraph of text which is wrapped neatly according to the size of the parent container. Each text element will have differing formatting, and will have differing user interaction options. For example, imagine the text " has just spoken out about ". Each word will be added to the container one at a time, at run time. The username in this case would be bold, and if clicked on will trigger an event. Same with the news article. The rest of the text is just plain text which, when clicked on, would do nothing.
Now, I'm using Flex 3 so I don't have access to the fancy new text formatting tools. I've implemented a solution where the words are plotted onto a canvas, but this means that the words are wrapped at a particular y position (an arbitrary value I've chosen). When the container is resized, the words still wrap at that position which leaves lots of space.I thought about adding each text element to an Array Collection and using this as a datasource for a Tile List, but Tile Lists don't support variable column widths (in my limited knowledge) so each word would use the same amount of space which isn't ideal. how I can plot words onto a container so that I can retain formatting, events and word wrapping at paragraph level, even if the container is resized?
I'm writing a preview site that will load SWFs/images from a URL into a preview pane. However, the primary problem I'm running into is actually loading these SWFs. It seems that the object/embed tags require width/height attributes. I will not know the exact size of these SWFs; in fact, I will know absolutely nothing about them.
What I'm asking is, what is the best way to load in these SWFs? Is there a library that exists to do this? Or do I need to do it myself?
Yes, another one of those pour souls attempting to escape the confines of AS2 and venturing into the AS3 world! I'm simply trying to dynamically add an image frame (imgframe) to the stage, sticking an image holder (imgholder) into the image frame mc and then loading an image into the image holder mc. Here's the code I've been using as a test, but it spits out errors saying that a term is undefined on "mainmask_mc.imgframe.addChild(imgholder);" code. I've tried changing it to various things, but nothing works.
[Code]...
Rather than typing out each child to add to a container mc, I wish to use a for loop to do so. However, in AS2, when adding an instance of an object, I could specify a unique name based on the current number of the loop. In AS3, I dont know how to even give the same object a unique name if multiple versions a re being pulled from the library to the Stage!
See this step of basic code:: and perhaps someone may have an obvious point to make about the differences of standard procedures, moving from AS2 to AS3::�
Code:
var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
