ActionScript 2.0 :: Clip Scaling - Each Letter To Start Of Larger Than It Should Be And Zoom Out (scale Down) To The Normal Size?
Feb 2, 2004
i got a logo, each letter it a clip, cos the logo is bit more than just text, but thats beside the point. I want each letter to start of larger than it should be and zoom out (scale down) to the normal size, pref with a bit of a bounce at the end, so it goes from very big to, slightly smaller then proper size, to proper size, get it? with help from Master64 (via IRC) i worked out that i could use _xscale and _yscale (i am relativly new here, lol ) but the problem i got is that it scales, but in huge jumps, not smooth.The class is ment to be reusable (duh!) so my concept is

I need to make a button animate from its normal size to a larger size but in a fluid scaled motion. I'm using a png image I cant seem to get it to scale from small to big when animating, and I have inserted a motion tween.
For lack of a better description, I have a world of bitmaps, but some are outside the boundaries of the stage. How can I scale my world larger and smaller to effective zoom in and out?
What I want is to create a 2d/flat site wich is larger than the normal screen size... for easy viewing I want the site to move related to the mouse movement so that when you drag your mouse left the entire site kinda moves to the right, and by that permits the viewer to browse the site without using the scroll bars. It should work like the example in this link, but not only horizontal, but also vertical...
I made this Code to scale the movie when mouse is over and turn it to the normal size when mouse out, I got this error and i don't understand it (TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "mc1" to flash.display.MovieClip. at Scaling_fla::MainTimeline/DoMe()TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "mc1" to flash.display.MovieClip. at Scaling_fla::MainTimeline/reDoMe()
I'm trying to add zoom functionality to Lex Talkington's great Panning Class HTML Code: [URL] and have run into the following issue: I cannot seem to get the image to scale without also scaling the container _rectangle. Here's my code
how i could create a function to do the following. I have a mc and when you click on it i want it to scale too say 150% and move to a different x y position, then when you click on it again i want it to go back to its original size and position.
I've got a map that you can zoom in and out of. What I'd like is that are you zoom into the map the labels marking items on the map remain the same size. Initially I did this successfully by making the labels independent movieclips(ie not children of the map mc) and then using localToGlobal to make sure they were in the right position. However I found that there was a bit of lag in their movement compared to the movement of the map.
So I thought what I'd try is to make the labels children of the map and then scale them up and down inversely to the scale of the map. However I haven't been entirely successful. I'm having difficulty finding the equation to make it scale up and down correctly in proportion to the map. The problem is that my labels are scaling in a linear fashion while my maps scaling isn't.
No matter WHAT I have tried.... a sniffer, no sniffer, stand alone on a webpage by itself.This slash file which is in a popup window 600x400 will not display 600x400 in firefox. It always is 20-40 px larger in both directions. I can't take it anymore!! What the hell is the matter with firefox his file is 6 years old for gosh sakes. It works and has worked online for years... so whats the Firefox problem all the sudden I am begging !If I can find a good flash designer who knows php, js, and html well, I am going to have future projects. But this little gem is a good promotional tool.... but the problem is......... FIREFOX wont display it right ! And why does firefox INSIST on putting the location bar in html popup windows! The window is the right size 600x400.... the flash is not... even with dimension definitions
Under the stroke properties before or after I draw a line, I set it to NORMAL but when I re-select the line, it keeps changing it back to NONE. Some how it is now the default and I cannot change it I have tried opening new documents from scratch but I still cannot get it back to scale normally. All the lines are inside movie clips and these movie clips need to scale properly. I cannot seem to find any other answers besides telling me what I have already tried.If I change the line type from solid to dotted, it then scales (actually you cannot change the scale mode.
Here's a very simple AS3 project consisting of one class which draws a rectangle. When I run it, the rectangle is clearly larger than 100x100 pixels.
Edit: I know that it isn't correct because, though I have my screen resolution set to 1280x800, if I set the width to 500 it takes up almost all of my screen.
I have created a 3D product view page with a scrub bar that spins the object via 32 images taken of the object all the way around.
I would now like to add a zoom and pan function of some kind as well. Anyone have any suggestions or FLA files with this sort of thing? The 3D spin images are inside a movieclip, so I basically need a "+" and "-" button to scale the images up, and then be able to drag the movieclip around the stage too.
I am having a problem, After Loading External SWF on a Movieclip and Zoom in/out when loading the other SWF on same Movieclip can't able to rest to normal size for zoom in/out im using scaleX,scaleY. When i click to load other SWF i'm giving size of widht and height to set back orginal size.[code]
I am loading swf A into a mc within swf B. loadMovie(dir/A.swf,target_mc); How do I constrain the width of A so it is its' normal size? It wants to span the width of swf B. I tried adding "_width=470" but my syntax is not right and/or working. I am using Pro 8.
Scenario: main moveiclip with 4 other clips in it. I want the rolledover clip to scale up and all the others to scale down and blur.
Question: What is the most effiecent way to code this. Would it be a "for in loop"? I am trying to minimize the code and would rather not use a whole bunch of if then statements.
Given:I encode video at 600kbpsI set the video to display by default at 448x336 (4:3)Users can set the video to display at full screen (let's say full screen = 1280x960)I can only provide one video resolution to cover all scenarios .Is there any logic to encoding the video for the larger size of 1280x960? Am I wrong in thinking:
Video encoded at 1280x960 and displayed at this size will look better than video encoded at 448x336 and enlarged to 1280x960; andThere will be minimal difference between video encoded at 1280x960 (and shrunk to 448x336) and video encoded at 448x336.
When I click the type tool and drag a text box out and type a couple words at 235pt size it looks fine. as soon as I click off the text box, the text size jumps down. I have no idea why this is happening and I can't get it to stay. When I click the type tool on the box again the tet appears at the 235pt size. But when I click off of it and play the movie it is at the incorrect size.
im using Tween Class and when a target Mc gets rolledOver/Out it gets tween larger/back to org size.
but it gets jumpy and the target MC tweens back and worth on 2-3 frames (looks very very very laggy and buggy) i have 24fps and ive tried regular/elastic/bounce/strong tween settnings.
how i could create a function to do the following:- I have a mc and when you click on it i want it to scale too say 150% and move to a different x y position, then when you click on it again i want it to go back to its original size and position.
if i was to make a flash website is there a way that i could have it scale the width to fit the browser, and scale the height so that it keeps the same aspect ratio and doesn't stretch the contents out of proportion?
I have a presentation work and the size that i have to work is larger than 2880 pixels which is the maximum value flash cs5 allows. So, is there any way that i can make the stage size larger? (approximately 3900 pixels)
I set my images at 60% quality JPG files out of photoshop which seems to give a very nice representation. I set up a site to take a full screen, so I expect it to be larger on a bigger screen then what I see on mine. I figured to keep every image actual size at about 25% bigger when the finlal needed size in the layout, so if the site is ever on the bigger screen then images have some stored resolution to be enlarged and accomodate an increase in size. So all of mine images are scaled at about 75%.
Is it a good practise or things don't work this way in Flash? Perhaps it is better to keep the images to 100% (rather than importing intentially enlarges images) but make the maximum quality? Or both ways kind of work out?
Is there any way to make a stage larger than 2880x2880??? Normally it is not that much useful but there are times when I want to create a presentation that spans onto multiple monitors. I probably know the answer, but I thought that I'd ask anyways.
i'm making a game where a ship moves from a random starting position to a target but I want to be able to zoom in & out (its a plan view) so would therefore need some way of scaling all MCs on stage equally & move them closer together when zooming out.. how I might do this? I thought maybe putting everything within 1 MC possibly?
I've made a flash application using actionscript 3, I wanted this application size to be dynamic, To be able to embed it in any size and let it adjust itself accordingly. I managed to accomplish this, theres a problem though: The original width of the application is 700 pixels. I'm embedding the flash in a smaller size, (400 for example) going to full screen, and when I exit, the application sets itself back to being 700 pixels wide, and isn't adjusting itself to the 400px width of the actual embedding area..
