I have an MC which is sized as follows:[code]This is fine until the stage size is altered....as the MC stays the same size unless the page is reloaded.How can I set the size of the MC so it resizes as the stage size is altered?
View 3 RepliesI have all my content inside a movieclip called 'allmenu' but im only resizing it to fit the stage with a timer hehe , is there any way it could be resized before you see it on the stage, because right now you get this glitchy resizing moment on every page.
PHP Code:
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
[code].....
When I try to rotate a movie clip along the x-axis on the default stage size (I'm using a basic rectangle right now), the rotation appears just as I expect it to. It "rolls over" with the perspective even on both sides of the rectangle.
When I try to duplicate this in a movie with different dimensions (320x480) and apply the 3D Rotation Tool, the rectangle skews to the left for some reason. (See attached .fla files)
I've tried changing the registration points on the movie clips, I've tried making new files with the "Adjust 3D Perspective Angle to preserve current stage projection" box checked both on and off, and I've tried repositioning the actual Rotation Tool, but I can't figure out what's wrong. Could it have something to do with the stage resizing?!
When I create a little .swf file with actionscript it will run correctly in whatever stage size I choose for the document. However, I want the display to update when I change the window size that the .swf is running in as it is running. It does some resizing as I drag the corner of the .swf window, but not correctly. I actually put the statement:
graphics.drawRect(0,0,stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);into the code, and it is not drawing the origin at the corner of the window (among other problems). Is this a bug in Flash, and/or is there some way around this When I put the window back to its original size, it displays correctly, and this is happening for all stage sizes and aspect ratio
i am trying to use the Tween class to change the size of movie clip to certain height.the code works for me but when resizing the parent, it effects the child.i tried the height and scaleY property for the thum, but does not work.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I loaded a swf from external. using loader class. But if i check with the width and height of the loader is differes from loader.contentLoaderInfo.width.
loader.width // 1250;
loader.height // 750;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.width // 750;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.height //420;
From this statement i came to know the loader gets the width of all hidden objects, which are already outside of the stage area. But now I need to increase the size of the stage contents only..
Because i design on a new mac book pro, my resolutions is very high and the flash movie fits perfect in my screen, just the way i want it to sit in every computer.
But on a computer with a lower resolution, i now that that my web site would be much larger and not fit right.
So how can i make it so the movie adjusts to different resolutions and sits just perfect?
I have been importing illustrator .ai artwork into my project, and along the way, something wierd has happened with resizing stuff. If I am putting font iside a movieclip that is being used for a button, I can put the same size font into two different moviclips and they are different sizes. I somehow zero them out so they are 100% at the size I want or do I have to resize in another porgram and then reimport into Flash?Am I missing a magic button here?
View 2 RepliesI am transitioning into AS3 and I'm working a block that I can't quite figure out. I need to add a child (external image) to a movie clip and resize it. This is what I have thus far and it loads the image just fine:

imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(myOBJ.image));
productImage_mc.addChild(imageLoader);

Imagine I have a movie clip on the main timeline that has text in it. If I use the free transform tool on this clip, it resizes the movie and the text within.
However, if I resize the clip using AS2 e.g. clip._height = x; then the clip is resized but the text isn't.
Is there an easy way of achieving the effect that the transform tool has using AScript or do I have to set all the text params separately when I resize the movie
download the .fla (file updated for flash8) file, run it and you'll see the problem.
when i do this:
PHP Code:
_root.image._width=200;_root.image._height=200;
ist seems that the motion tweens don't work any more.
Ive found all sorts of answers but not the right answer. Im using the loader class to load images into a gallery. Im placing the image inside a movie clip. I want to resize the images as users will dynamically load them but width is not working. scaleY works and scaleX

I have a Runtime Input Textfield nested in a Dynamic draggable/scalable Movie Clip
How can I make the text input affect the resizing of the movie clip?
I got this... that puts trace on the textfield after the movie has been exported.[code]...
I am trying to import a jpeg image into an empty movie clip and then resize the image.I can scale it, and position it but I can't resize it. Somebody suggested creating a movieclip in Flash first and giving it an instance name. Then use loadMovie to place the jpeg into that movieclip. This did work and allowed me to resize it but only the movieclip would be resized which in turn resized the image proportionally.I still couldn't specify exact dimensions of the image - only the movieclip.
View 14 RepliesI have a movie clip on a liquid layout page that seems to be appearing when I resize the window. The movie clip is supposed to be transparent until you roll over it but when I drag the window open it triggers the movie clip.I think it has to do with the onClipEvent (load) part of the code but I am not sure. Below is the code that is attached to movie clip that is being triggered. Here is a link to view the swf file: http:[url]....how to remedy this?
note: I just opened this up through the browser from that link and it does not do it but when I publish the movie it does it on my computer....? onClipEvent(load){[code]....
I'm trying to get an object to increase in size the lower it goes down the stage, and decrease in size the high it moves up the stage.
It only needs to increase or decrease by a small amount. Basically, it's for a game character. To ad realism to his movements, it would be nice to have this feature.
This is where i'm up to so far:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
I think I need something like:
if (object moves up)
decrease
else if (object moves down)
increase
i'm new to action script 2.0 and i want to create a movie clip dynamically whose position and dimensions are changed in each frame as loaded from xml;

the position and dimension are changed but the problem is the last dimensions are not removed and it get bigger n bigger
I want to load a random movie clip from the library to an empty clip on the stage called (bg_graphics). the clips in the library are called (green, blue, yellow).
View 5 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3 and wish to create a movie where the stage is a certain size but the actual content of the movie extends further than the stage. The user will be able to drag the stage from left to right to show hidden parts of the movie. Similar to the idea of a horizontal scrolling image gallery but without the scrollbar (see attached for example image).
View 7 RepliesI want to have my character walk around in a faux 3-d space using the arrow keys on the keyboard. When the character walks away it becomes smaller and when it walks closer it becomes larger. I have put together a script that pretty much does what I want - except the ratio of the height and width of the MovieClip do not stay the same. It becomes fatter as it walks away and skinner as it comes closer. Here is my main script:
[Code]...
I think the problem is with the operator here: ratio = this._height/this._width; The slash between "height" and "this" seems to be what is giving me trouble. Maybe I should be writing some other script entirely? I am not very good at script writing.
How can I increase the size of a movieclip(to 800x600) which is not in the main time line and place it in the (0,0) position of the stage?
_x,_y properties give the position relative to current movieclip ,isnt it?
What i try to do, is to make a "wrapper" in Flash, in which other swfs could be embedded. (passing the URL of the external SWF by URL) to attach a link to the swfs. (ClickTag - Issue, maybe someone knows this).In the HTML - Code this would look like this:
Code:
<embed src="wrapper.swf" ...>
<param name="filename" value="path-to-external-swf.swf"/>
<param name="clickTag" value="http://www.example.com"/>
The SWF "wrapper.swf" should load the "path-to-external-swf.swf" an puts a onClick - Event on the whole area.That works just fine, BUT The loaded external SWF should always fit to the stage size (like 100% width and 100% height) .My code looks like this:
Code:
// Variables should be passed by URL
_root.filename = "http://example.com/animation.swf";
_root.clickTag = "http://www.example2.com";[code]....
Code:
mClip._width = Stage.width;
When i click on the swf, the movie fits exactly to the stage width...
I have external swf imported and put it into movie clip like bellow,
stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;
Security.allowDomain("*");
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
[Code]....
But when I activate the last line in function(animMC.height = 200;) and publish, I don't see movie clip anymore. As a movie clip I thought I have full control as a movie clip should be, but is it still more limited control as swf or loader?
i've made a flash site that will be 100% in the broswer so it will be scretched and scaled this is not problem for me cause this movie is mostly the backround and some buttons the buttons will load all the other mcs ,like photos ,videos etc but i want the movie clips to load at fixed size and stay like this even if the user resize his broswer the main movie will scale BUT the movie clips will stay at fixed size.[code]
View 4 Replieshow I can find the original stage size of an SWF that has been loaded into a parent clip via MovieClipLoader? In the child clip, there are a number of elements that extend beyond its stage, so when I check the _width and _height properties, then they include the stage overlap.
I tried using mc.getBounds(), but it doesn't seem to give me what I'm after.
if for example I'm creating a scene with falling snowflakes. In the movieclip is there a way of correctly knowing which area of the main scene you're working in? Or is it just a case of creating the movie, then returning to your scene and placing in where it's appropriate?
View 3 RepliesIs there any way to prevent a movie clip from increasing width and height when its children go outside its initial bounds? The problem I'm having is that I'm adding moving objects to a movie clip which often go outside its bounds, and I'm also trying to apply a displacement map filter. However, since the bounds are constantly changing, choosing the correct mapPoint is giving me grief.
