ive seen in a few places were pressing a button drops down a menu, which extends outside the size of the flash movie. So that it goes over whatever text is actually underneath the movie. Ive tried to do the same by just making the menu go below the movie, but that just gets cut off

View 7 RepliesHere is an example of a template I am trying to copy:[URL]..In particular, I am interested in making a background with scrolling movie clips, like the clouds, that will allow everything to remain the same scale, but allow the background to scale and the clouds to either have a shorter or longer distance to travel. Now I also mentioned resizing ActionScript, because I almost have things working, but my ActionScript is not quite right yet.Here is my AS3 code:

I am using Flash cs5 on iMAC OS 10.6 When the SWF file opens on my screen, I try to enlarge it by draging the corner, but only the background color enlarges. Is there a way that I can get the whole SWF file to enlarge when I drag the corner? Is there a setting in the publishing setting?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to replicate this function from the Allegro graphics library:
void stretch_blit(BITMAP *source, BITMAP *dest, int source_x,
int source_y, int source_width, int source_height,
int dest_x, dest_y, dest_width, dest_height);

This is somewhat difficult in Flash, because of the overlapping functionality between the Rectangle and Matrix arguments of AS3's BitmapData.draw() method. This is what I have so far. It only works most of the time, and is incredibly inefficient (due to having to sample pixels twice).
function stretch_blit(src:BitmapData, dest:BitmapData, source_x:int, source_y:int,
source_width:int, source_height:int, dest_x:int, dest_y:int,
dest_width:int, dest_height:int):void {[code].....
i'm trying to publish my website that I made entirely in flash CS5. Everything works perfectly when I publish the site in Flash, then upload the files to my server. I created the site on my 23' monitor, and when I view it on that computer, everything looks perfect, and works. However, I viewed the site from my laptop, and the site gets cutoff and the browser doesn't create a scroll bar so you cannot see everything.
To remedy this, I tried to use Dreamweaver to publish my site. Once again, it worked great on my 23' monitor, no problems what so ever. Viewed on my laptop once again, and now the browser creates the scroll bar. GREAT! However, now the entire site is stretched for some reason (but only when viewing it on the laptop). It seems to be a problem in Dreamweaver since when I viewed the Flash Plublished file, it didn't stretch the site.
i have a movie that is using a listener to align the items in the movie according the the size of the screen. However, in one instance I want say a 200h 200w box centered on the screen to stay 200 height but stretch to the width of the screen, animated over say 12 frames. I know how to set the box._width = Stage.width; which will give me the available stage width but it automatically sets it there before the animation takes place. is there a way to make a movie clip where the box starts at 200h 200w and ends with 200h Stage.width
View 7 RepliesI am working on a project with video player in it using Video object that plays flv files or FMS streams. The user can switch to fullscreen browser mode. And here is my problem - most of the time the aspect ratio of the video is different from the screen ratio so it looks stretched. I want to put black spaces left and right or top and bottom (depending on the current video and screen ratios) so that it looks normal without stretching.
View 0 RepliesI have a container movieclip and i am attaching thumbnail images to it to form a slideshow.
The problem i have is i need the container to scale to the stage width, and then add the images, but if i scale the container it also stretches the attached images.
Is there anyway i can change the width of the container without effecting the attached images?
I have a button that loads an external swf file, but when the loaded file appears it is stretched beyond the size of the original flv size to the size of the main fla. I have tried various methods to open the external file and all have the same issue. My question is what is the best method to limit the size of the external swf file.The tidiest code i have found for opening the swf is:[code]I have done this dozen's of times in older version of flash and never had an issue...but now i'm using CS3.

I'm using a very wide object in Flash CS3, and I didn't have a problem with the pasteboard automatically expanding to contain it in Flash 8 Pro, but apparently CS3 has limits as to how far it'll let the pasteboard expand, -2880 px to 3620 px or thereabouts. This means I have to move my object off of x:0 y:0 to work with it. This won't kill me, but it does seem to be a step down from Flash 8. Anyone have any news on why this change was made, and if there's any way to correct it?

View 1 Replies1)i dont know how to make limits! ... and what i mean by that ... for example ... how to make a car unable to move on the buildings ?or how to make the a car dont fall out of the screen ?
2) i also need something ? .. what is the function that could make the screen Zoom In , or Zoom out ??
3) also i wants to know ... how to make the screen Move like to make a car in the middle of the screen and moves as it moves ?
I created a hit test for stop a mc on the top of the stage.
It 's blocking all right, but i need that when is blocked then align on the center again.[code]...
I have some questions about centerting your SWF inside a browser using actionscript 3.0.
- How can I center my main SWF inside the browser without stretching the the swf? I just want it to be center both horizontal and vertical when you resize the browser.
- I found some tutorials but it is only referring to just ONE movieclip. What if I want to center the whole stage? Is there any other way to call the stage that has content in it?
I am having troubles with a Flash presentation (photo gallery) file that is stretching the images out of proportion. The photo gallery is a fullscreen presentation and it acquires the images from an external images folder via a XML file. Is there any particular code that I'm not aware of to keep the images displaying in their correct proportion in fullscreen instead of them stretching all the time?

View 2 RepliesIf we have a Bitamp with more than 16777216 pixels (or one side larger than 8191 px) Flash 10 doesn't show it (Flash 9 and earlier has smaller limits even).One solution to this is to use scrollRect to limit the size displayed.OK, that works.
But Flash 10 has another problem, if we use any 3D property (rotationX, z, etc), flash transforms your MC in bitmap, so we can reach the above limit even when we are not working with bitmaps...A bigger problem is that although our MC could be really small (at least less than 16777216 pixels), when we apply a 3D transform like rotationX, the displayed MC can grows enough to reach the limit. And... we can't use scrollRect with 3D MC. But we have a trick here too, there are two ways to use scrollRect with 3D:
1. Create a 2D parent, then create the 3D displayObject inside of that parent.
2. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the 2D parent.
3. Create a grandparent container to hold the first two items.
4. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the grandparent container.
5. Apply scrollRect to the grandparent container.
These methods are really differents, with the second I couldn't use scrollRect to avoid reaching the bitmap limit. I think that's because in the second we apply scrollRect to the parent and 3D to the child, so nothing breakes our child from growing.With the firs method we apply scrollRect to the child, and the 3D property to the parent.
Code:
var p: Sprite = new Sprite();
var c: Sprite = new Sprite();
p.addChild(c);

View 1 Replieshey I have a large map in an mc and navigation buttons to control the map.
2 questions:
1.Does anyone know how to set limits on this? my image is w2200 h2980? stage is 1000w x 740h I am using code like this? Th buttons are either 1 or a 0 so i think the limit function needs to be in this section.
2. does anyone know how to adjust the script for zoom so that the image will zoom in n out without refocusing on a specific point. my large map move to a specific location as it zooms. it would be cooler if the the map zoomed in and out based on current location.

I am making a SUDOKU generator(ActionScript2.0), which would (for now) generate the full and correct sudoku table. To do that I need to use recursive functions for calculating all the possible values. The problem is that when I try to run my program I get this error :
Code:
256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.Is it possible to somehow work around this limitation?

View 1 RepliesI used to know how to do this, so, I KNOW it's possible, but I can't figure it out again. I'm altering the width of my TextField by setting the width property but that warps the text. I want to alter the width of the text field without altering the way the font looks (obviously). I believe it has something to do with autoText or some such idiocy (why would I ever want to warp my text?!) but I just can't recall.
myField.width = 100; //
If the original width was 50 this simply stretches the field to 100, rather than adding 50 pixels into which characters can be drawn.
