Has anyone had the problem of an image, jpg or png, stretching horizontally in an HTML dynamic scroll bar? See screenie of SWF: That red box is a jpg, 50px by 50px, so it's meant to be a square but it's stretching horizontally by about 200%. This is my external HTML text file, news.txt:

I have HTML + CSS text. I need some lib with simple function like "Render String Var conteining HTML" So no external files (like in flash lib called HTMLwraper you just have to play your SWF on top of HTML). dinamic! I give it string it renders It into some conteiner (not as a bitmab but as if it was real HTML dynamically rendered in flash). (And I need real HTML + CSS support not what normal rich text block gives us)I am going to use it in with Flex (Flash Builder) so I like MXML component model but even pure flash AS3 will workout.It should be Free and Opensource (any license like GPL, LGPL etc will be ok).So Is out there such flashflex library for HTML + CSS dynamic rendering (rfom given String or XML)?
View 1 RepliesHere is an example of a template I am trying to copy:[URL]..In particular, I am interested in making a background with scrolling movie clips, like the clouds, that will allow everything to remain the same scale, but allow the background to scale and the clouds to either have a shorter or longer distance to travel. Now I also mentioned resizing ActionScript, because I almost have things working, but my ActionScript is not quite right yet.Here is my AS3 code:

I am using Flash cs5 on iMAC OS 10.6 When the SWF file opens on my screen, I try to enlarge it by draging the corner, but only the background color enlarges. Is there a way that I can get the whole SWF file to enlarge when I drag the corner? Is there a setting in the publishing setting?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to replicate this function from the Allegro graphics library:
void stretch_blit(BITMAP *source, BITMAP *dest, int source_x,
int source_y, int source_width, int source_height,
int dest_x, dest_y, dest_width, dest_height);

This is somewhat difficult in Flash, because of the overlapping functionality between the Rectangle and Matrix arguments of AS3's BitmapData.draw() method. This is what I have so far. It only works most of the time, and is incredibly inefficient (due to having to sample pixels twice).
function stretch_blit(src:BitmapData, dest:BitmapData, source_x:int, source_y:int,
source_width:int, source_height:int, dest_x:int, dest_y:int,
dest_width:int, dest_height:int):void {[code].....
ive seen in a few places were pressing a button drops down a menu, which extends outside the size of the flash movie. So that it goes over whatever text is actually underneath the movie. Ive tried to do the same by just making the menu go below the movie, but that just gets cut off

View 7 Repliesi'm trying to publish my website that I made entirely in flash CS5. Everything works perfectly when I publish the site in Flash, then upload the files to my server. I created the site on my 23' monitor, and when I view it on that computer, everything looks perfect, and works. However, I viewed the site from my laptop, and the site gets cutoff and the browser doesn't create a scroll bar so you cannot see everything.
To remedy this, I tried to use Dreamweaver to publish my site. Once again, it worked great on my 23' monitor, no problems what so ever. Viewed on my laptop once again, and now the browser creates the scroll bar. GREAT! However, now the entire site is stretched for some reason (but only when viewing it on the laptop). It seems to be a problem in Dreamweaver since when I viewed the Flash Plublished file, it didn't stretch the site.
i have a movie that is using a listener to align the items in the movie according the the size of the screen. However, in one instance I want say a 200h 200w box centered on the screen to stay 200 height but stretch to the width of the screen, animated over say 12 frames. I know how to set the box._width = Stage.width; which will give me the available stage width but it automatically sets it there before the animation takes place. is there a way to make a movie clip where the box starts at 200h 200w and ends with 200h Stage.width
View 7 RepliesI am working on a project with video player in it using Video object that plays flv files or FMS streams. The user can switch to fullscreen browser mode. And here is my problem - most of the time the aspect ratio of the video is different from the screen ratio so it looks stretched. I want to put black spaces left and right or top and bottom (depending on the current video and screen ratios) so that it looks normal without stretching.

I have a button that loads an external swf file, but when the loaded file appears it is stretched beyond the size of the original flv size to the size of the main fla.

View 14 RepliesI have some questions about centerting your SWF inside a browser using actionscript 3.0.
- How can I center my main SWF inside the browser without stretching the the swf? I just want it to be center both horizontal and vertical when you resize the browser.
- I found some tutorials but it is only referring to just ONE movieclip. What if I want to center the whole stage? Is there any other way to call the stage that has content in it?
I am having troubles with a Flash presentation (photo gallery) file that is stretching the images out of proportion. The photo gallery is a fullscreen presentation and it acquires the images from an external images folder via a XML file. Is there any particular code that I'm not aware of to keep the images displaying in their correct proportion in fullscreen instead of them stretching all the time?

View 1 RepliesI used to know how to do this, so, I KNOW it's possible, but I can't figure it out again. I'm altering the width of my TextField by setting the width property but that warps the text. I want to alter the width of the text field without altering the way the font looks (obviously). I believe it has something to do with autoText or some such idiocy (why would I ever want to warp my text?!) but I just can't recall.
myField.width = 100; //
If the original width was 50 this simply stretches the field to 100, rather than adding 50 pixels into which characters can be drawn.
I have built an FLV video player and used Sorenson to compress a bunch of movies in hi, med, and lo quality. Everything works when I click to load these different video qualities but all the videos auto stretch to the MC width and height.

View 3 RepliesHad a problem stretching the flash file to fill the screen in a projector movie. It is not made in proportion with the standard screen sizes.

I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to dynamically display 3 columns of text in my swf. They are somewhat long lists of song/album/label titles and all 3 columns need to scroll as one unit. My client gave me Excel files with the lists in spreadsheet form. I've tried exporting as XML and HTML. I've gotten the lists to disply in my SWF using dynamic text boxes but now I can't figure out how to get all 3 text boxes to scroll as one.
Is there a way to create a simple table in Flash and have each list load into Column1, Column2, and Column3 and then attach a srollbar to the table?
So I am bringing in a blog post via xml/rss feed to the clients website. Everything is working beautifully except for the formatting.

View 5 RepliesI am attempting to create a custom FLV player in flash that will allow me to link to an external FLV file in the html object code. This is in order to easily change a video that will appear on a client's index page dynamically. Currently I am using an external player that does exactly what I wish to do (URL...). However the client I'm building the site for requires a custom built player. My abilities in Flash (CS3) are limited but I have scripted in ActionScript and worked in Flash many times before.[code]As I stated, this links to a free third-party player, which is great, but I'd really need to build to my own. I have built a basic player in flash already using the FLVPlayback control, but am unsure on the details of making it dynamic.

I am making a learning system where a user selects a "lesson" from a list of lessons.I currently have a lesson read from a txt file and loaded into a dynamic text box depending on what lesson the user selected. I have a problem with this though as:1) I need to have tables, math symbols, superscript and subscript which are not currently available in html tags flash understands.2) I want to put interactive elements like drag and drop etc. in the lessons.3) I need to include a search function so a user can type in a "word" and it will load lessons that the word appears in

I'm using CS3 with Actionscript 3, targeting player 9. I've tried AS 2, and different players all to no avail. I've tried embedding fonts, and not embedding fonts with no change in behavior noticed. I do want to use AS 3 (and wrote a bunch of code for it in a different file already), but even in a new empty file I'm still seeing this behavior.
I've made a real simple (one line!) file with a text box to demonstrate.
