really sorry to bring this one up again. I've managed to create quite good working gallery. What I'm trying to now is create a menu that is attached to the scaling part but does not scale it self - in other words just changes position. here's an example of what I mean: galleru #1

View 13 RepliesI've search through all the threads with "scaling" and "resizing" and can't find the solution.
Basically I have a GUI element on a gallery that I don't want to scale, while the rest of the page is free to resize/scale.
I think I need to add a listener of some sort to the stage, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?
i have a diagonal movieclip that I am trying to scale along with the background video. The background video scales perfect, I am attaching the diagonal movieclip (br in the code as bottomright) with addChild
Instead of scaling with the window, it seems to repeat such as the image is displaying. this is the main section of the code that is doing the scaling
var br:mc_bottomright = new mc_bottomright();
addChild(br);
//proportional scale
if ((stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight)> (owidth/oheight))

I am trying to achieve an effect of scaling a movie clip on click...very similar to [URL] When the user clicks on See, Hear, Play and Shop boxes, the boxes expand. I have created a box movieclip that has a bar on top. This bar is a movie clip inside the box movieclip. When i try to scale the main box movieclip, the internal bar movie clip scales as well. How to stop this?

View 3 RepliesI want to know what is going on with my flash document where more of the document is showing than the document size. despite the little white box showing the size, if i set scaling to 100% it starts reaching past the boundaries. how can I get my flash doc to scale without viewing what is essentially outside of the frame?I am experimenting with getting my flash website to scale. I have tried a few things like SCALE="default" in the html and such. I want to try and keep the aspect and scale, but have a minimum size. For this I have been trying swffit.

View 1 RepliesI needed to convert a simple graphic symbol into a movie because I wanted to give it depth using the (gradient bevel) filter effect. The movie has to appear at different sizes in my animation but the filter effect does not scale with the symbol. Is there a way to make this filter effect (gradient bevel) scale when I scale the symbol it is applied to?
View 2 RepliesI have a flash file that I am scaling. There are buttons in the file that have tooltips that pop up when you roll over them.Problem is, the tooltips scale with the .swf file so they get huge and are not in the right spot over the button anymore.the tooltips will maintain a size without being scaled?

I have created an SWF with a 1000 x 700 pixel stage. My questions is this; what code can I use (or publish settings can I set in CS4) so that the SWF scales up or down and always fills the browser window? In other words, if I'm running my browser in full screen mode with a 1680 x 1050 widescreen display, I want the SWF to scale up to fit that monitor.Likewise, if I'm running an 800 x 600 display, I'd like it to scale down to fit that monitor as well. What I DO NOT want is for the SWF to open in a child window (as it does when I test the movie).

How can I scale up an entire animation when the mouse moves over it? Background: I'm no newbie on web development (I do PHP, javascript, CSS et al, and get paid handsomely for it) but I've never done Flash. However I am updating this site [URL] (the guy in charge is a friend) and you can see the Flash radar thingy in the corner. That came from the original site and is very old, links to the wrong pages and has the wrong text anyway. I have compensated for its wrong URLs with redirects but the owner asked if I could update it.
Well, I have a new version in CS4 Flash (having spent several hours seeing if I could modify the original it became clear that a re-write was more sensible), and everything is fine - but the only thing I can't work out is how to scale up the whole image (and scale it back down when the user moves off it). The original code was this, which doesn't scale down even though the code looks like the original author meant it to:

I'm interested in distorting movie clips at runtime based on user input. I know how to rotate - thats easy : clip._rotation is a number from 0 to 360. I know how to scale - thats easy too : clip._xscale and clip._yscale are conveniently independent. But how do you SKEW a movie clip at runtime??The best I can come up with is really complicated. If you put a symbol within a symbol and name both ( something like shell and core ), you can squish and rotate them independently, making it possible to distort the clip twice as many ways.
shell.core._yscale = 160;
shell.core._xscale = 100;
shell.core._rotation = 45;

I have an interesting issue, I am trying to load 12 images into their own "Loader" with Scale content set to "true" so they scale down a bit. If I run this in Flash it works great, the 12 images show up fine inside the loader. If I then load it to a website and view it with FF it works fine, however, if i load up IE one or two of them will be fine but the others will be huge, basically not scaling to fit. By Loader, I mean the component loader. I'm sure I'm not the first person to have this issue, my first thought was they are not loading 100% before Flash is trying to scale the content? If that's the issue, how do I preload them?
View 2 RepliesBut i have a rectangle and i want to scale it using actionscript with a tween (part of a series of functions that i am writting for one of my buttons) so i am able to adjust with a tween its width but it uses the left part of the rectangle.

View 2 Repliesis there any engine/way to scale a whole finished game? I am trying to make my game smaller (from 760x500 to 640x480 px), but is there a fast way to do it? Or do I have to scale per object...?
View 2 RepliesCurrently I am reading in dynamic images from a xml file which loads the files names into a array. From there I load a empty movie clip from the library onto the stage on layer 20. There I load one of the images into the movie clip. I have gotten it to work where on event of click of a particular button the movie will load another image on the same layer.
My issue currently now is when i load two images into the MC at once. Both images gets loaded in but I find that they are scaeled and out of proportion. But when it loads them individually it is fine. Way I have manage to load the two images at once is by having a empty MC but nested in it are two other MC placed in the right position at the right dimension for the images to load into.I know that the images are being called and I know that images when imported in by themselves are the right dimensions. I know that the images loading in are at the right x,y position on the top corner left hand side. What I do not know is why the scaling and distortion.
I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to make loaded external SWFs the same size to fit into the movie clip they are being loaded into (in this case just a rectangle named container). I need all of the swf content showing but none of it outside of the movieclip. I saw another thread posted that just said to make all of the SWFs the same size.

I've made a rounded rectangle with a gradient fill and another rounded rectangle over it with a transparency to create kind of a glossy effect. Both objects are part of a symbol in the library of the FLA file. Then, I activated the checkbox to create a scale-9 grid, and the Export for Actionscript checkbox in order to add this symbol from AS3. Next I made sure that every rounded corner was completely included in the slices on the edges of the grid. Well, no matter what, the object is scaled as a normal graph: the rounded corners appear bigger and deformed.
View 4 RepliesI have made a webpage that scales to the size of the users screen. Now i'm having to following problem. There is a image gallery in this website that makes use of an XML file. Everytime when the website is scaled to a bigger size the image gets unsharp. This only happens to the external image that is displayed in the gallery since the flash elements are all vectors.I was already thinking about a higher DPI rate or using different images.
