ActionScript 2.0 :: Swf Created From Pdf File Affects Browser Zooming?
Oct 28, 2011
I habitually create my websites with a stage size of 950 x 580. They tend to appear slightly small in any browser which is ok because they can all normally be "zoomed-in" on using the browser zoom functions.
I have just created a site which loads several external .swf's into a main movie clip and the browser zoom works fine UNTIL I incorporate a further .swf which was created from a PDF file (using swfTools - pdf2swf).
This seems to disable the normal browser zoom with the effect that everything is just moved up and left a little rather than remaining centred and enlarging.
I'm trying to debug my flash application and when I build and run it in debug(in FlashDevelop), it crashes. Is there a dump file which can give me information about what caused the crash?
I'm developing a new Flex app that's in the middle of an html page.
I want to be able to achieve what this website achieves [URL] when zooming in and out in the browser. It makes the container smaller but does not rescale the swf file.
Presently my app, scales and it looks ugly. I want it to basically not scale and just make everything smaller.
I developed a flash application. in which I load pictures with XML, on these pictures I apply a mask via a method ( because the mask has to be different for certain cases) Flash doesn't show any errors. Everything looks normal when the browser is on 100%, but when I zoom in with the browser. The position gets screwed. The images loaded via the Loader Class all scale like they are supposed to, but the mask stays the same size and it's position get's screwed
I would like to do the following trick in a browser:
Create three image files of different size (small, medium, large) from one picture.
First, display the small image in a browser. When a user zooms in the small image replace it with the medium one. Now the user can scroll it within the window up and down, left and right. When a user zooms out the small image replace it with the small one, etc.
I would prefer JavaScript (Flash is the second option). What tool would you recommend ?
Basically I want to know if there is a way to go from a zoomed in version of something, and then seeing the whole image in another frame. (By pressing a button)
Let's say there's a tree, I would bascially like (upon pressing a button which I can do) to zoom out and see the whole scenery. Is there a way I can do this without actually changing the size of the image?
I look at professional animations and notice the camera-like effects they manage to put into these animations. I'm wondering how I can do the same without having to just enlarge or reduce a movieclip across the stage. Is there any way to add a camera view on your animations or do you just have to bear with Flash's basic necessities?
I have a flex 3 application that creates an Image from a canvas which the user draws on. I use the ImageSnapshot class to create the image
var imageSnap:ImageSnapshot=ImageSnapshot.captureImage(myCanvas); var imageByteArray:ByteArray=imageSnap.data as ByteArray;
I want the user to be able to print or save the image. I can use the following code to print the image but flex does not provide good control over printing across multiple pages
var printJob:FlexPrintJob=new FlexPrintJob(); printJob.start(); printJob.addObject(myCanvas, FlexPrintJobScaleType.SHOW_ALL);
I would like to display the image in a browser window so that the user could print it using the built in browser functionality or right click on the image and save it. Can this be done without requesting server side code to do it?
I made a panel movie with required designs which can be used as several pages in flash document. This is the basic design for all pages. Now, I would like to make changes in pages according to their subject. But when I make any change in one page the other pages are automatically changed.
I am making a flash site and there is a main SWF which loads and unloads all other SWFs into and from it. For example, there are links to pages Home, Biography, Gallery, etc. When you click the Gallery link, gallery.swf loads and it is added to the main SWF.
So here's my problem: when I test my movie, everything works perfectly, but when I open the SWF that was created by testing movie in a stand-alone Flash Player or a browser, those SWF's sometimes don't load. If I click Biography link, for example, it usually doesn't load biography.swf but if I click Gallery link, which may or may not load gallery.swf, and then Biography link, there's a greater chance that biography.swf will be loaded.
Now then, I am working on a game and I've come across a problem that I simply cannot figure out. I have a symbol with the instance name of "textbox" (genius, no?) and I have a button with no instance name. Now, within the "textbox" symbol, I have two frames; one of which is named "descentlava". When the aforementioned button is clicked, I need the "textbox" symbol to gotoAndStop on the "descentlava" frame. My feeble mind managed to whip up the following code for the button:
on (release) { _root["textbox"].gotoAndStop("descentlava"); }
Unfortunately, this does not work and frankly, I'm losing my mind trying to figure this out all on my own. Anyone feel like they could offer some assistance?PS: Not sure if this changes anything, but I feel I should mention that the button and the "textbox" symbol are both within ANOTHER symbol with no instance name. Perhaps this is whats causing the problem, but taking everything out onto the stage is a big no-no. It must be contained within the symbol.
I have a combobox (ddList) populated through xml and I can get a movieClip to change its alpha when an associated item in the combobox is clicked. What I'd like to do is return that original movieClip back to its original state when another item is clicked from the combobox. Thus having this second movieClip change in alpha.[code]
I can't seem to get my head round why when I set the colortransform object for one clip in my movie, it seems to affect the entire movie - textboxes and everything..I thought that a colorTransform it only affected the specified and child clips in the movie.Example - I have a lot of things attached to _root.I have a particular clip which is on its own and is attached to the _root - this is my code...Code:clip.transform.colorTransform = new flash.geom.ColorTransform(0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);That seems to set the clip nice and dark as I want it to - but it also sets all other clips and all clips dynamically added afterwards to have the same colortransform settings... am I missing something from the CT object?
I need to display antialiased systemfonts (because the swf filesize must be small, therefore i can't embedd fonts). So I wrote this script in order to manually antialias the text
Code: public function renderTextField():BitmapData{ var w:int = this["mainTextField"].textWidth+10;
I was going to use this code and modify it to work with the previous code.
ActionScript Code: var OBJECTcolorInfo:ColorTransform = OBJECT.transform.colorTransform; cpOBJECT.addEventListener(ColorPickerEvent.CHANGE, colorChange);
[code]....
A quick note, the OBJECT is there to show it's supposed to refer back to the "["bg"+String(i)]" bit is. I just don't know how to tell the code to look for it.My main goal is to have an object, for instance a rectangle, be draggable (and placeable). You would then set a series of color pickers to said rectangle, changing areas of it's colors once you double click it.However, the rectangle must move as a whole and not have to have each individual color part be repositioned along with it.
I was reading about Flex- JavaScript communication via ExternalInterface.But I had a doubt, it said that the javascript code should be written in the HTML file of the application ? Now which is this HTML file ? Is it the index.template.html file per project or the HTML file created per MXML application ?

I have managed to get it to open a file browser but all I can seem to get it to do is give me the NAME of the selected file *eg. selectedFile.name* I also need the path of the file as in C:examplefile.mp3.
The program I'm making plays an MP3 of your choice at a certain time, like an alarm clock. But I got tired of entering the file path of the MP3 EACH time so I wanted to have a browse feature.
When i save the file as an .swf file to view it in my browser the video gets really big (sized the flash document 250x240 px) . How can i easily control my flash video sizes?
another thing: When im doing a video and work with things that are outside of my white document (in the gray area) for instance things that are to be faded into the document and so on. These things also show up in outside of my video when i view it in my browser.
I have a flash file using xml to link to html pages all within SharePoint. When I click on a link from inside flash, it opens up a new browser window with the html content.Is there a way to open the html content in the same browser that the flash file is in?
I have one problem with my swf file which I created,I created the file useing the dimentions 1024x768, for pc I need these mentions the same swf file I want to use it in some other divise which will support only 480x272 dimentions.so, without creating the same file with these dimentions, is there any posible way to resize the swf file while publishing and the devise which I want to play the swf file it will support only swf format.
