View 2 RepliesI am developing a website in flex. And in that, i am trying to set the background image of my application. like this: parentApplication.setStyle("backgroundImage", data.image_src);
From a different location.
My issue is that, the images that i have are small and hence they are being stretched when used as background images. I want to avoid that from happening. How can i do it?
I want a MovieClip to play as its loading the content in the background, I already have the MC animated, the "loader", how do I do this! I tried this way
frame1
ifFrameLoaded ("end") {
gotoAndPlay ("Start");
}
frame 2
gotoAndPlay(1);
layer 2
loader
Thats all it works the only problem is, that I realized is that its dependent of connection speed, what I mean is that if you have a 200KB/s connection it will load so fast that it doesnt play the complete animation and I set the simulate download speed to like 50KB/s and it does play completely. So my question is will this happen when it's online?
I have just posted my new website made with Flash. It looks good on my computer (Safari browser), it looks good on my friends computer(Internet Explorer).But today I went to the local library and my website looks stretched, including it's videos. It looks like when you play DV video on HD television. Here is the link:URL...is the fault on my part? Did I do something wrong? Or is it their settings what makes this "effect"?
View 2 RepliesI have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.

Im working on a galleryviewer right now. I have a sprite that contains a thumbnail and has the exact size of the thumbnail. When you click on it the thumbnail fades away and the sprite grows to the size of the next image. Now the sprite grows to the right size of the bitmap. but when I add the bitmap it stretched way too big. Somehow when the sprite is resized the bitmap is too? even though it hasn't been added yet? I dont get it..
ActionScript Code:
internal function openGallery():void {
this.cacheAsBitmap=false;
var newWidth:int=500;
var newHeight:int=500;
var newXPos:int=_mainStage.stageWidth/2-newWidth/2;
[Code] .....
ImageTransformer.resizeImage() - returns a Bitmap that has been resized to fit within the dimensions.
I'm doing a small site in which I'm probably gonna use a simple layout and load the actual content as swf's into a box... So far, the listeners for the MovieClipLoader class works fine, but the loaded content (which has the same exact size as the box it is loaded into) is being scaled in a strange way. When I trace the width and height after the clip is loaded I get the numbers I want (mostly) but it still LOOKS stretched. I've checked that the container clip isn't scaled, I've set the xscale and yscale to 100, I've manually tried to set the width and height (with the onLoadInit listener AND the onLoadComplete listener) but the numbers does not work as they should... It does resize, but not to the exact values I give it.

View 3 RepliesI'm customizing an xml flash website and while I can handle all the html and xml well enough, but in Flash, I have no clue how to:
Now go on the stage, and delete the contents of the last layer(background & pattern). Here, add from the library, the square movieclip, and name it mcBackColor(see attached image).And then to add your swf background in the "background & pattern" layer from the main.fla file.
I can change the name, but don't know how to delete just the contents of the layer and then add the new clip.I've made a slideshow before and that's all I can do.
This is my semi-finished art project URL...If you open it normally (providing you have a webcam) it works perfectly however I'm looking to showcase the piece on a projector and need to have it full screen.[code]I have made the piece so that the "orbs" rotate around the center point and the diamter of the rotation alters dependant on the activity level of the webcam. It looks very pretty when you open the swf. normally but when full screened the centres of rotation are completely off.Whats the best way around this? I'm in desperate need of full screen capability! [code]ps forgot to mention. all code is inside a blank movieclip called "orb" and then a copy of the movieclip is placed in every corner but flipped/rotated to achieve the butterfly/symmetry effect. this is the issue i belive that effects the full screen stuff.

View 2 RepliesI've designed a Flash site in CS3 using Action Script 2.0 that has a main flash movie sorta floating in space over a gradient background. I want the gradient background to re-size with the browser, so I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to delete the gradient background in Flash and instead recreate the background in Dreamweaver using the repeat background option and then make the Flash movie's background transparent. (I hope I'm making some amount of sense here).
I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but so far I just get a white background instead of transparent. I've tried choosing "Transparent - Windowless" under Window Mode on the HTML tab in Publish Settings. And I've tried selecting the movie from within DW and clicking the parameter button and adding a "wmode" parameter with "transparent" as its value.

View 7 RepliesI have converted a large background image (much larger than the stage) into a Movie Clip. I did this so I can make it scroll as the player traverses to the edge of the scene.This appears to make the player free to roam the entire background image.I have a tree symbol with a class attached to it that blocks player movement.Here is my problem:
When I drag and drop instances of the tree symbol onto the background, the trees are stationary and do not scroll with the background.I do not want to have to implement code to make the trees scroll when the background does.I was wondering if there was a way to simply attach the trees to the background so that if the background moves, the trees move with it and appear to be part of the background as if they were drawn into it.It is convenient for me to be able to drag and drop as many trees as i need to block certain routes on the background from the player.I tried writing code to make the trees move but it was only working for the very last tree that I added to the scene.
I really don't know much about flash or swf files but in updating my portfolio I came across Polaroid gallery. I have managed to update the background jpeg with my own picture and remove the fade effect. However in the original program the background was tileable so when seen in a full screen browser looked fine. As my picture is not tileable I would like to know if it is possible to scale the background or the whole swf object without tiling the background.
View 1 RepliesI am relatively new to Flash CS3 and i have been learning Action-script 3 over the past week. I have come quite a long way and i have made a site in flash but i just have a question.I have been using an image as my background and i am happy with the way flash automatically scales all the objects in my file but the background image does not scale. Is there a way to do this? I have found out things online which show me how to add auto-resizing to the background but this knocks off the flash auto scaling/resizing for everything else.

View 1 RepliesI have a series of background MCs, all different coloured gradients (pretty!), and a series of corresponding buttons elsewhere on the stage. On a press of each button I would like the corresponding background MC to come to the top of the pile of backgrounds, then fade in above the previous background. The background that was previously on top, needs to stay next-to-top.If the corresponding background is already at the top of the pile, then nothing needs to happen.
At the moment I am using swapDepths(1) which brings the target to the top no problem, but it may also send the previous top layer MC way down the pile.This is what I'm doing at the moment:

if (_root.BG.colour2.getDepth()<=0) {

I have a flash .swf file that is intended to load .flv video files into them at the local root level. I have been able to do this on my own server, but the .swf and the .flv videos are now located on the media streaming server, and the .swf is able to show up on it's own when embedded onto my page (on MY server), but it's not being able to load the video files. I am perplexed because the videos are structured in the same EXACT way that it was being done on my server, but they will not load onto my .swf as they were doing when they were on my server. For example, one of the videos is loaded by using this convention in my actionscript: var file = "videos/Bob_Peebler.flv"; So, on my media hosting service, I've loaded the .swf file on the local root, and the videos are placed in the same exact directory structure as they were done on my server. In the example above, the "bob_peebler.flv" is located inside the videos folder, and the videos folder is on the same level as the .swf In my flash file, I've thought that the var needs to point to the actual URL of the flash file, so I've then typed out the URL of the flash video, but I still can't seem to get it to work.

Everyone and their mother asks how to resize their movie to fit the users screen. However, I'd like to know how to resize the actual swf object to fit the movie's content--that is, if I have a movie that dynamically loads text/data into a [vertically] autosized textfield, how can i make the actual swf object expand to show all of that content, letting the browser's scroll bar appear/disappear?
View 3 RepliesIf I don't specify width and height values for a TitleWindow, it will be resized to fit it's contents when I show it using PopUpManager. But there are moments when some components inside will be resized, like a ComboBox which dataProvider is loaded asynchronously, or another component which was not visible and I'd like to set it's includeInLayout to true. In those moments, I'd like to tell the TitleWindow to resize itself to fit window contents. I've tried calling invalidateSize() and invalidateDisplayList() with no success.
