ActionScript 2.0 :: Proportionate Resize Based On Bounds?
Jun 24, 2005
i have a container that is 100 x 100 and i have various symbols of different shapes and sizes (states for a U.S. map) that i am loading into that box and need to resizesome are bigger, some are smallerow to scale them proportionately larger or smaller depending on their size relative to the container.here's what i have so far
I've been banging my head trying to figure out how to get this to work with no success... I have a class that extends MovieClip which loads a large image into it. This image has a mask applied to it to only display a specific section of the image. I need to be able to scale this MovieClip based on it's visible width & height while maintaining it's proportions.
I'm currently using Collin Moocks' approach (see it here:[URL]) to get the visible width and height of the movieclip, but I can't figure out how to get it to scale correctly based on those dimensions... Preferably I'd like to be able to set it's visible scaleX & scaleY properties similar to how you currently set the scaleX & scaleY, (i.e. movieclip.visibleScaleX = 1.5).
I'm trying to have a movieclip i have as a background for a textfield resize based on the size of the textfield.
I tried this with no luck:
ActionScript Code: //tBox is the clip I'm using as a background and desc_txt is the textfield that changes when it gets PHP data. tBack.tbox.width= tBack.desc_txt.width; tBack.tbox.height= tBack.desc_txt.height;
I am working on a project and I am trying to figure out how to resize the swf at runtime based on the content (which is brought in by xml) . What I am trying to do is similar to [url]... but unfortunately this is written in AS1 and doesnt help me much!I know I need to use the ExternalInterface but I am very new to AS3 and am not sure how to do this. I have searched and searched all over the internet and still can't figure it out.
I have problem in my flash.I create scroll bar and attached one movie clip in library. Integrate with xml driven.Now the content background movieclip not resized on content height.How can i resize the movieclip based on my xml Content.So i am attached my flash, xml files.
i have a button thats adds a movie clip to the stage...the movie clip height is bigger than the stage. is it possible to have the stage "extend" when you click the button to show the whole movie clip?
ActionScript Code: addPic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addImage); function addImage(event:MouseEvent):void{ var mc:MovieClip = new testClip(); this.addChild(mc); }
kinda like this i guess [URL] when you click on the flash on that page it expands and stuff
Does anyone know how to resize a website's content proportionally based on the browser window's width and height? Also, the navigation can be repositioned accordingly based on the browser's size as well.[url]...Resize website content based on browser?
I'm trying to create a Flex application that can automatically shrink based on the size of the components that it contains, so that a user can shrink it to a minimal view to see more of the HTML page it's embedded in.
I know how to change the size of the whole application using ExternalInterface, but I'm having trouble automatically figuring out how much the size changed when something is hidden or shown.
How can I hide one of the text fields and cause the VBox to shrink? I'm currently setting it to visible = false, but that doesn't seem to affect the parent VBox.
Once the VBox shrinks, how can I detect that the Application no longer needs so much space, and then go about figuring out how much less space it needs?
I've tried using ResizeEvent, but I haven't been able to get them to work, but I could be doing something wrong.
I'm using a tweening engine and I need to be able to base the _yscale % of a movie clip off the height of a dynamic text field that is slightly smaller contained within the movie clip. 52 pixels smaller to be exact.I'm very poor at math but I'm guessing so far that some variable needs to be declared to factor the percentage based off the height of the dynamic text field. And I just can't think of how to do that.What I know so far:movie clip height at 100% _yscale = 396 the 'buffer' space above and below the dynamic field = 52.So if my dynamic text field height = 0, my movie clip would be 52 pixels in height. And that percentage in _yscale is 13.1%.I just can't figure out the math for this and how to translate it into ActionScript.
And just loved the way it looked, anyone have any idea how to get a similar effect using ideally CSS/JS and if not then using flash? Furthermore it would be excellent if you could move to the next slide by clicking on the image itself.I'm also wondering how she is able to maintain height of the images when resizing (unless she is doing it manually which I doubt now days).
I opened up the NY Times homepage, and they have this giant Apple addvertisement that has animations over the entire top half of the page, outside the area occupied by the swf.
I am working on image and i like to scale or resize the image by dragging and resize option.same working as "free transform tool" in flash (design part); i need same functionality in application.
I'm having a bit of a problem here. As per the title, my flash swf file works fine when tested from the IDE, but when I publish it and open it through the browser, the stage doesn't seem to resize along with the window.I post below a bare-bones example. The "back" movie clip should resize, only it remains at the starting dimensions
Although I put _x = player._x etc. code in an onEnterFrame function the masking mc is moving without the player
You see...the player is held within some borders. When cornered and then hit, the mask moves according to how it would move normally, but without the player (because he is held in place by some borders)...
Also, if I don't have a problem but I'm missing a crucial piece of code,
I have a bunch of images going on all at once, some on the stage, and some off, and i would like to find a way of telling whether or not they are currently on the stage or not....
I know i can do the whole
checkStage = function () { if ((mc._x>=0) && (mc._x<=Stage.width) && (mc._y >= 0)&&(mc._y >=Stage.height)) { //have mc do whatever here
[Code].....
that way i can satisfy my laziness AND achieve what i'm trying to do without having to deal with long winded paths and a bunch of else if's
I have Buttons which I have rotated vertically within a Canvas, that is working fine. The problem occurs, when the user resizes the window to a small size a vertical scroll bar appears, I would rather have each button squashed upto a smaller size.
I have a main movie here that loads in an external swf through a container mc. everything is aligned and positioned to where it should be, and they are also set to that value onresize. the problem is, when my swf is loaded in, it works fine and is in the right position, same when you resize it. BUT, if you resize the window before the swf is loaded, it misaligns, until you resize!!
I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.
I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.
for some reason this flex 4 code gives me an error but I can't figure out why. In my WindowedApplication I have:[code]That seems like a bogus error since I can assign pref.bounds to rect without an error. I don't know why this isn't working. It works under flex 3 compatibility mode but that also breaks a lot of my spark components so I can't use it.
I have a script that produces random motion along the y axis, however, I want that motion to occur within the movie clip that is centered on the stage, or I should say within the bounds of that movie clip. The movie clip has a height of 335 px
I am wondering if there is an easy way of monitoring whether or not an mc is within the boundaries of another mc while it is being dragged. Currently I am using different equations to determine the leftmost, rightmost, topmost and bottommost points of each mc and then when they are being dragged comparing their x,y coordinates. Is there an easier way... I ask because this seems to be quite a lot of code to get through for such a simple operation, especially when the function containing the code is being called each time the mouse moves..
I"m getting this error with these two bits of AS3:
ActionScript Code: public function tmFlashPlay():void { //Play TubMates Flash tmClip.y = 0; galleryMask.y = 0;
[Code]....
If I'm reading it right it is saying that the index supplied for the child is out of bounds. Yet it is the index captured earler, and I add or remove no children in between these functions being called.
I have a simple MC on the stage. I want to create a simple conditional statement that would check if the mouse is on the rectangle using get bounds. something like [code]Basicaly...how do I properly use the getBounds in a situation like this?
I am trying to make this an kinda interactive map in flash. I will try to explain it for better explanation. Here is an image of the output I have a jpg image(converted to movieclip) which is way larger than the stage.
[code]...
Then I have a mask in the center of the stage and user sees a portion of the map and is allowed to scroll to move mouse around to see areas around the focused city.
[code]...
I put this numbers in by playing around but where are these values exactly coming from. I have tried everything(every possible way) but cant figure out what are these values. I need to numbers to be dynamic so I can change the focus to different cities(for example when a user click A city A should be seen inside the mask and so on).How can I make these values dynamic instead of hard coding them.
