Stage.broadcastMessage("onResize") doesn't seem to work. I have a lot of classes that add new content to the stage at runtime and would like to be able to call all the different onResize functions in various classes that listen for a stage resize so things get positioned correctly. Do I need to do some plumbing or is there a way to tell the Stage to broadcast a message?

I've made a flash file which contains the following:backgroundMC (consist of vector art made in illustrator and imported)holderMC (loads an external swf which contains my game)I want the background to scale when the Stage get resized so I used the following code as everyone else does:
ActionScript Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "LT";[code]....
Then if I resize my window the backgroundMC doesn't, because the listener isn't active anymore... Is there a way to resolve this? .I want my Stage to resize the backgroundMC, but without causing my game.swf (which is dynamicly loaded) to run slow...
Within flash 8 i'm working the folowing website:[URL] The centered MC size changes when clicked a button.I published the movie as a 100% x 100% with a noscale option. I want to add a movieclip in my main timeline wich must go automatically to the left of the users screen. if you got 1024x 768 and even when someone got a nice 30" screen from with a resolution from 2560x1600. yesterday i posted a thread and i've got the next code wich did not work in my movie. the next code i placed in my main timeline:
[AS]
listener.onResize = function ()
{
menuMc._x = menuMc._y = 0;
[code]...
I tried several things today but nothing works. i tried different publish settings. the listener option was new for me and i tried to find out what it does.do i need to add a line like addListener? or do i need to name the function?
I'm trying to make a menu that resizes its size when browser is scaled. I've been able to do that, but I can't get the position of the text inside the menu bar to change position when resize.this is the code:

bar1._x = 114;
bar1._width = Stage.width-228;

ive tried not using swfobject and static embedding in swfobject, and the flash itself in IE was buggy in both cases (size and position of movie clips and text inside the flash). using dynamic embedding in swfobject fixed this, however, now the size and position of the whole flash object is buggy, not the individual elements inside the flash.funny as it may sound i consider this an improvement,especially since most of the advice i am getting out there is that no matter the case i should be using dynamic embedding with swfobject always.the page consists of three divs,a content div, and a banner and menu div in which there is flash content dynamically embedded to stretch to 100% of the divs width and height,and the divs themselves are programmed to maintain the correct aspect ratio no matter how the window is stretched with the doResize function in the dimentionator.js file,which is called when the window loads and whenever the window is resized.
this works fine in all browsers except IE. in IE, when the window loads, it doesn't resize, it just shows the banner maximized for some reason. you have to actually click and drag the bottom right corner of IE to resize it manually and then see it proportion correctly. and, if you do it to quickly, the flash doesn't have time to catch up and it will be bigger or smaller than it needs to be. finally, if you maximize or minimize the window the size is what it should have been before you pressed the button.so all of those problems could be fixed the divs are resized when the window is idle right? i have tried making a timer to call the doResize function every 5 seconds, and actually increasing and decreeing the size of the divs by one pixel every five seconds, but the flash stayed the same size. i am sure that the functions were actually called, and the divs themselves resized, but the flash stayed the same size.heres the site, check out dimentionator.js (you can see it and all the rest of the stuff i used in this site by going up a directory)
I have the following and have managed to be able to use onResize to resize just my mc 'mcl',it currently fits horizontally but not vertically, so it's stretching, I want to stretch 100% on the left and right hand side but in proportion
Code:
var myClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcl", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I have a an swf, called 'controls' that I created with flash cs4. I upload the controls.swf to my web server. I create an application in flex and it loads the external swf controls into itself. So far I can manipulate the controls.swf via my flex app. I created a class in my external swf, but I need to add some onResize event/check to my scroll bar. For example, if my scrollbar size increases/decreases, I want it to change variable values. Is there some movieClip.onResize event?
View 3 RepliesThere seems to be just one problem I cant get around. Its a full screen flash site so when the browser gets resized, it looks all weird until you refresh the browser. I think it would be too hard to make a function to reposition all of my movieclips when the onResize event gets triggered so I figured it may just be easier to restart the flash movie from the start when it gets triggered, how could I refresh the movie, or possibly even refresh the browser? here is the site so you can see what I am talkin about [URL]

So, I have my fullscreen working, selecting a rectangle to scale to. and everything is good there,.. the issue is that the I have an onresize event, that positions the entire sprite... so.. when it goes into fullscreen, it obviously fires the resize event, which inconveniently slides my content to the right, as it tries to recenter the content. any way I can make it so it doesn't fire the resize event.
View 3 Replieshow I can make a 95% black MC cover everything on the website page (full screen onResize) so I can present an externally loaded image by itself? I have seen this done before in a few flash portfolio websites but I can't seem to find the solution on any previous thread. I may have missed some threads. is there an actionscript that can do all of the above without having to resize an MC?

View 2 RepliesI am using SWFOBJECT to embed my flash content. I have been worried about stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight returning 0 in Firefox/Internet Explorer; this problem is referred to in question #21 on the SWFOBJECT FAQ [URL]..I have been told that this problem is particularly prevelant on Macs. The SWFOBJECT FAQ (question 21) indirectly suggests that this problem does not occur with static publishing. Is this correct? Is it still advisable to implement a solution to this stageWidth/stageHeight problem, even if you are using static publishing?
View 1 Replies- I have A.fla.
- A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER
- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla, B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.
general question: accessing elements in a stage, through a SWF file loaded into that stage.
I'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.
View 1 RepliesI have a library swf (asset.swf), it's document class binded to Asset.as, and in the Constructor function of Asset,[code]as known to all, we cannot visit the stage attribute before the display object added to the stage.so, when my loader.swf try to load asset.swf, it throws exception and the loading come to failure is there some one tell me how to load the asset.swf? I cannot modify the asset.swf.
View 0 RepliesI've been working on a project that requires lots of scaling around a center point.
I always thought that stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight give you the dimensions of the stage you set in the properties panel no matter what. But when I went into fullscreen mode (with scaling), both the width and the height changed to the dimensions of the screen rather than staying the dimensions I specified.
I have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.
View 0 RepliesIn my AS3 code all the elements on the page are dynamically positioned depending on the current width and height of the SWF - providing it's not under a certain value, then the items are back in their original position.
When debugging in the Flash player the size all reports correctly however when run from a web browser it does not - initially.
This is my HTML & PHP code for the entire page:
HTML Code:
<?php
function hashId($fn) {
$hash=md5_file($fn);
[Code].....
But I cannot get the size to report correctly without, say, clicking a button.
It seems to me like I need to force flash to re-draw the screen, but I had no luck trying to do that.
How do you make a movieclip move horizontally from the start of the stage to 3/4 of the stage. Stage size is 700 px by 600 px i want just one row in the middle of the stage. i want that movieclip to disappear right after it reach the end of the 3/4 mark.

In as3 What is the difference between calling stage.width and stage.stageWidth I read somewhere that if we have nothing on stage then the value of stage.width is 0,but what happen when I have nothing on stage but loading contents dynamically on stage?I have tried this and when i have loaded content dynamically on stage then i have got
stage.width=value; // where value is dynamic number
I created a custom textfield component that I need multiples of in a single swf. I also created a non-visual wrapper component to manage them. I am sending info from the textfields to wrapper. I was planning on using the child index to associate the info with the right component. The problem occurs when I have two instances of the textfield component and one of the wrapper on stage and I use stage.numChildren and it returns 1.

I have 4 movies that need to be loaded in sequence. The first movie loads the second one, the second one loads the third, then the third one loads the fourth. What I can't figure out is how to make sure there's only one movie loaded at any time. I've tried removeChildAt(0) and other methods. What's the best way to load a movie to the stage and wipe out what was on the stage?
