ActionScript 2.0 :: Resizing Movie Clip Does Not Resize Text?
Jan 29, 2009
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

I have a dynamic text field being fed html formatted text from an external text file, and is set to autosize vertically (left), works no problem. I have an animated movie clip behind the text field for a background, so the text looks like it's inside a (animated) colored box. How do I make the background movie clip autosize (vertically) along with the text box above it?

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.

import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.StageAlign;

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?

var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(myOBJ.image));
productImage_mc.addChild(imageLoader);

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.

I 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 resize an image loaded in a movie clip, so that any image I load will always fit correctly in my movie.The script is pretty simple, it reads an xml file where they should be 6 records. Loads the image in the Thumb attribute in on of the 6 containers eg. _root.screen.Event1
Code:
for (i=0; i < 6; i++){
MyEvent = Event[i].attributes ;
_root.screen["Event"+i].Title.text = MyEvent.Title ;
[code]....
It works but not as expected. It looks like only the container is scaled down not the image really.

So I have a movieclip that I am dynamically adding to the stage when a user clicks a particular button. There are multiple button that each result in the movieclip getting attached to the staged and scaled to a different particular size. Instead of attaching a new instance of the movieclip every time a button is clicked, I only want to attach a new movieclip the first time one of the buttons are clicked and then scale the dynamically added movie to the size specified in the functions for all of the subsequent button clicks. To be clear, I want to attach the movieclip on the first click and then scale it for all of the subsequent clicks.
Here is the code I am using for the buttons:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
videosBTN.onRelease= function() {
[Code]....

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

I want the movie clip to be at the bottom right corner or the stage at all times when the browser is resized. The name is the clip is bottom right piece. The flash movie takes up the whole browser with no scale. The movie clip is always over or under the point in space its suppose to be. When i trace the value or the movie clip's _x... its the same as the Stage.width... but it doesnt portray that visually on the stage...

Dear members and experts in Kirupa forum, first I apologize because I only join this forum just to ask this question . I already come across some flash forum but can't get the answer to my problem. If somebody from this forum come up with a solution, I may have myself a frequently visited forum. It works, of course... but that's not the problem.The problem occurs when I want to have button scrBtn that can toggle between Full Screen view and normal view.It is obvious that the image that I loaded in the movie clip will get pixelated.That's why when I click the scrBtn button here is the script:
Code:
scrBtn.onRelease = function(){
if(Stage.displayState == "fullScreen"){

I have set a movie clip with instance name if "body" to resize automatically based on the size of the browser window using:
body._x = Stage.width / 2;
body._y = Stage.height - 44;
body._height = Stage.height - 149;
body._width = Stage.width-20;
(that code may not actually have any relevance?)
What I'm wanting to happen is that when the "body" movie clip changes size, I want the objects within it to be scaled proportionally (keeping the x:y ratio the same). The result that I'm wanting will result in the contents (as a whole) being proportionally scaled to the height (because it will always be the smaller dimension in my case) of the current size of the body mc.
I've uploaded my .fla so you can see what im working with. The red square is the body that i've managed to scale but I have not yet added anything within it. (I have tried but it's contents distort when the body is resized)

I'm having some strange luck in building an image slide show.I load the image paths into an array from an XML page and then step through the array elements w/ forward and back buttons.I have an empty image clip on the stage where I create an empty movie clip inside each time a new image is loaded.I load the image into the second movie clip like this:[code]Now, 98% of the time this works perfectly, but there is some certain times where the image resizing is completely ignored and the image gets loaded as it's normal size.Can anyone see why the image sizing get's ignored in some instance?

I've imported 9 .mov files in my flash presentation. Each lasts for about a minute, and the language is english. I have translation of each video clip in Serbian language as .txt files. And now i need that text to go below the movie clip simultaneosly with the voice in movie clip. And for example when i press pause,the text stops,and when i resume it,the text goes again.

I've made a slide show and I've been successful so far. However, I'd like to add some thumbnails right below the original image (original size).Here are some specifications of the thumbnails:Size: 50 x 50 px.The image sources of the thumbnails and the original image are the same.Therefore, I'd like to resize only the movie clips for the thumbnails because the actual image file dimensions won't be changed.I tried simply setting the width and height of the movie clip to 50 but it lost quality and you get jagged lines in the image. Does anyone know a good algorithm to resize an image inside a movie clip proportionally and without losing quality?Btw, I'm using an XML files to store the images so you have to include the Loaders and stuff, what I really need to know is how to resize images without losing quality.
