ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading An External SWF Is Stretching
Feb 17, 2010
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. I have tried various methods to open the external file and all have the same issue. My question is what is the best method to limit the size of the external swf file.The tidiest code i have found for opening the swf is:[code]I have done this dozen's of times in older version of flash and never had an issue...but now i'm using CS3.

Here 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?

I'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);
http:[url]....
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

i'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

I 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 container movieclip and i am attaching thumbnail images to it to form a slideshow.
The problem i have is i need the container to scale to the stage width, and then add the images, but if i scale the container it also stretches the attached images.
Is there anyway i can change the width of the container without effecting the attached images?

I 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?

I 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 a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I'm trying to load a SWF movie into a target movieclip called blankmc. The SWF movie is loaded from an absolute URL (eg. [URL]/img/20042005113934movie3.swf ) My Loading Progress code fails to detect the SWF file size. However the same code works perfectly for a JPG! Essentially the .getBytesLoaded() and .getBytesTotal fail to work. Why is this and how can I get it to work for loading SWFs?
