I have a site built with AS2 that needs to resize its SWF files based on the user's monitor resolution. I understand how to detect the resolution but after detecting I can't figure out how to resize the SWF files? The site calls multiple SWF files into one <div> container.
View 1 RepliesIs there any way to resize the .swf dynamically in AS3? I'm creating an mp3 player with a collapsible playlist that's embedded in an HTML page. The playlist might exceed the height I set it at...
One solution I thought of is just setting the array of songs in the html via swfobject then just calculating the height based on that.
The stage is set to 955x465 at 1st frame but once load external movie clip in 2nd frame the stage is set to 955x855 size, is it possible to do it?

View 1 RepliesI am going to make an image gallery that loads jpg's. Around the jpg is going to be a border that resizes depending on the demensions of the image. I want the border to expand so that it encompasses the image, BUT i dont want the width of the border to change. SO, would this work:
Break the border up into 4 MC's (topbar, bottombar, leftbar, rightbar), and have the topbar and bottombar's width resize according to the jpg loaded, aswell as its _y postion change according to the height of the jpg, and have the side bars height resize according to the height of the jpg and its x position change according to the width of the jpg. If it did it right, could this result in a border that resizes depending on the demension of the dynamically loaded jpg, but the actualy width of the boarder all the way around stays the same? I'm thinking that I'm correct, but just wanted to make sure there wasnt any glaring problems before I procceded.

View 8 RepliesI have a dynamic text box of fixed with - lets say 200px wide.This box will display a user input line - I want the font in the box to dynamically resize so it will fit nicely- if the user types "Cat" the text will be very large (it doesnt have to fit perfect) and if they type "The cat in the hat was a very fine book" the font size would decrease so it will still fit in that 200 px width.I have found this "TextField.setTextFormat" in the AS dict. but don't really understand how to pass anything along.
View 3 RepliesI've made classes to manage scrollers, scrollbuttons, sliders/scrollbars & co. All fine. Now I'd like to have my scrollbars to dynamically adapt to the scollbox's content height (or width). Just like the browser scrollbars (or more in general, ordinary applications). Do you maybe know what's the right path to follow to do it? How can I determine for example, the min and max height that my scrollbar can reach?

View 1 RepliesI'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?
Having trouble targeting movieclips in a dynamically loaded swf. (Flash 8, Actionscript 2).I have a swf file, which contains a set of duplicated movieclips, that I am loading into another swf file (using the movieClipLoader() class), basically like this: "swfA" is loading into "swfB", and I have clips 1, 2, and 3, inside "swfA."I don't seem to be able to mouseover and click clips 1, 2, and 3, when "swfA" is loaded into "swfB". But when I run "swfA" on it's own, the clips are active and clickable.I've tried setting "this._lockroot = true;" at the top of "swfA", and tha in the duplicating script, but still no luck targeting the clips.I usually execute the duplicating script on the main swf (swfB), but I wanted to contain everything in a swf, thinking it might be simpler. But the targeting problem has me scratching my head.
View 1 Replieshow can you controll them as they are coming in? For example: i want to load three swfs but i want them to sit invisible until the user clicks a button to change visibility and see the content. The problem seems to be that you can't control it until it's all there... here's the code i have been trying.[AS]function
goMovie(xMovie, xLevel){
loadMovieNum(xMovie, xLevel);
mytry=false;

View 1 RepliesI am using flash cs4. I have videos in an xml that are all different sizes. Is there a way to autoresize the video when they are added to the stage?
View 3 RepliesI have a htmlText field that is displaying xml content. One of the features I've written imports a swf and displays it in the htmlText field via an <img src> tag. The swf displays some text that is stripped out of the htmlText field when my as3 code finds [Boxed Text]Strip out this content [End Boxed Text]. The result would display 'Strip out this content" in the swf within the <img src> tag. This works great, as the swf has the dimensions of w.300 x h. 250, but I have received a request to resize the swf based off the length/height of the 'Strip out this content" text. I can resize the textbox in the swf via [boxedText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;], however, when I do that, the stage size of the swf within the <img src> remains at a fixed 250 height, and as much as I try, I can not find a way to resize the stage. I am under the impression that there is only one main stage, and trying to change the size of a secondary stage within an imported swf is not possible, but then again, I'm also under the impression that anything is possible in flash.

sample.swf(300x300)

I have a button on stage in a movie, the button ("clicker") is empty apart from the "hit" frame. The stage and button are 300x300 and i'm using swfobject to display the flash movie at 400x600 pixels. I have the following actionscript.[code]I want teh button to expand to fill the available stage space (which is 400x600 in this example) so i use the following...
-clicker._width = Stage.width;
-clicker._height = Stage.height;
however this causes the button to disapear from the stage, possibly down to 0x0 in size, as opposed to filling the available stage space. It's been a while since i worked with actionscript so it's probably something obvious, however i can't seem to spot what the problem is.
I want to load a big background-picture into my Flash, and then I want it to be resized so it fits the screen-resolution that the user has on his/her browser.[url]...
it loads perfectly, and - from what I can see - keeps it's dimensions.but it does not resize to the size of the browser as it should....if you go to the link, and then manually resize the browser-window, you'll get the resizing of the background-picture going on, though.[code]...
What 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]...

View 3 Replies- Flash CS4 Actionscript 2.0 internal training project- Main movie is a single frame project, containing just the interface. This includes a menu listing 80+ individual "chapters" for the training series.- Each "chapter" is its own project/swf. Once the main interface loads, it should begin to play the chapters sequentially without the user selecting anything from the menu. When one chapter finishes, the next should load. If the user DOES select a chapter in the menu, it should load that SWF, and continue auto-playing from that selection forward.- Each chapter has a built-in play/rewind/ff bar, various movie clips with animations, dialogue audio track and a fairly lengthy embedded FLV movie, and therefore a preloader before each chapter is mandatory.What I have so far works, but it's embarrassingly crafted:- First frame of main movie (let's call this main.fla) contains the following code (most of this code was taken from an online tutorial):
var slideName = "modules/intro.swf";
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);

I'm working on a project where I need to load a series of dynamically generated swfs. The catch is that the composition of each swf depends on the result of loading the previous swfs. For example, if I generate a swf (just writing bytes to a ByteArray), call it A, then load that swf...
loadBytes(A)
//wait for COMPLETE event
//generateBytes for B
loadBytes(B)
//wait for COMPLETE event
//generateBytes for C
loadBytes(C)
etc...
It turns out that this is very slow. It doesn't matter how simple the swfs are -- 40 or 50 of these can take several seconds. This is just too slow for my needs. How I might speed this process up? Is there some way to make the loadBytes calls finish more quickly? Or maybe an alternative, faster way to dynamically load actionscript bytecodes?
Code:
// Array of external clips to use. Variable index refers to next clip to be displayed.
var clips:Array = ["clips/clip0.swf", "clips/clip1.swf", "clips/clip2.swf", "clips/clip3.swf"];
[Code]....
I am hoping to modify it so I don't have to "hard-code" the "folder/filename.swf" into the var clips:Array line...that way anyone can upload swfs into the "clips" folder and thisLoader will take care of the rest...
I'm creating a photo slide show that has the ability to go full screen. I have some elements which are always on the stage and some elements which I am adding from the library and/or creating in the code. When I issue the resize event, my stage movieclips are still on the stage and can be repositioned but the elements I created dynamically (most notably the thumbnails which I want to reposition) are gone.
