I have a bottom bar on a site that has he following code: nav_menu.menu_bars._y = 0; But I want it to be at the top of the stage. Sorry for such a noob question, but how do it? I've tried nav_menu.menu_bars._y = -600; but when the browser is resized it obviously moves down the page. Is there a bit of code to keep it at top of the stage?

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
View 0 Repliesbasically, I've loaded an .swf into an empty movie clip (myContainer_mc) which is itself located in another mc called loop_mc on the main stage and positioned it with this code:
Code:
var lp:Object = new Object();
lp.onResize = function() {
loop_mc._y = Stage.height-275;
[code]....
When I test the website in flash (ctrl+enter) everything looks perfect and works right, however when I view the website in a browser the movie is dragged all the way to the bottom of my page and mostly hidden beneath the footer.
I wrote an app that uses the stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight to position various elements. It works beautifully when I run the swf in the standalone player, but when I upload it to a site and view it in the browser the positioning is all wrong!
View 2 RepliesI'm having an issue with getting external .swf's to load and position properly in my full browser flash site. I used a template I created for an XML slideshow which worked perfectly, but now the positioning and stage listener doesn't seem to work properly.
Here is the AS in frame one of the stage. Content is to be externally loaded into an MC called "container". The problem is, the container is not showing up initially until I resize the browser or .swf window, and when it does show up, the registration point is all wrong. I put the loadMovie script on a button since it was not loading at all with a simple loadMovie script on a keyframe. This seems to load the movie properly, but once it's loaded, not only is it positioned to the bottom right of the screen, it doesn't move at all when I resize the browser!

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

I'm trying to open a new browser window with center positioning and a size of w=725 and height=600 with a scrollbar. I'd like to be able to click the button from the flash site and open another site in this window. What is the best way to do this using AS2? I found this script on the adobe site but haven't been able to get it to work with the on (press):
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.adobe.com','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar =no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
But also this doesn't address the position on the screen where the window opens. In the AS1 it seem to work ok with something like openWinCentre.
I'm trying to make some mcs be displayed from alpha 0 to 100, one by one in the stage and in random positions. I've managed to make appear it randomly from alpha 0 to 100 with this code:
Code:
mcs = new Array("mc0", "mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4", "mc5");
mc0._visible = mc1._visible = mc2._visible = mc3._visible =mc4._visible =mc5._visible = false;[code]....
The strange thing is that only some mcs are positioned randomly and others stay in the same position.

View 1 RepliesI have a series of movieclips acting as buttons that load different flashvars video srcs onto the stage.When the swf loads --- the first button is added to the stage after a 20 sec Timer completes.As you click through each button, the one just CLICKED is removed and a new button is added in its place.All the buttons are set to dynamically be centered on the stage. However, the function that is positioning them is called BEFORE the first button is on stage, throwing the error (Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.)here is the code inside of the windowResize method which positions the buttons.
Code: Select allprivate function onWindowResize(e:Event):void
{
//position hidden buttons[code].....
Even though I've set up a boolean var and set it to true after the first button has been added to the stage -- the method still tries to find the first button and gives me a error saying that it must be non-null.Basically I want to make sure that it doesn't try and position the first button before it has been added to the stage. I'm not sure if encapsulating this method inside of another Timer is a good idea.
coordinates in flash, particularly after resizing the flash player window.I have an mc on stage and draw an ellipse inside that mc. The movie is of size 800 x 600.
Code:
var ellipse:Shape = new Shape();
ellipse.graphics.beginFill(0x6CCDF4, 0.5);
ellipse.graphics.lineStyle(4,0x186B87);
[code]....
If I check the coordinates of that ellipse from it's transform property, I see that the top left is at 400, 300.
Code:
ellipse.transform.pixelBounds.topLeft.x
ellipse.transform.pixelBounds.topLeft.y
This seems fine to me as this position is in relation to the stage, yes? If I convert this to a position local to the container I get values ~0,0.
Code:
var stagePoint:Point = new Point(ellipse.transform.pixelBounds.topLeft.x, ellipse.transform.pixelBounds.topLeft.y);
var localPoint:Point = join.canvas.globalToLocal(stagePoint);
When the flash player window is resized, the coordinates change entirely. Instead of being at 400,300 the transform property indicates that it is at 640, 510. I assume this is because the viewport has changed, but the stageWidth and width properties of the stage do not change.
i am loading 3 flv files so that the first file plays once and the other two loop afterwards. Now i am interested is it possible to position the flv files on the stage to certain coordinates when they start to play (so for example that the first flv plays as default in the centre, the second flv file plays a little bit right and the third plays a little bit left). This is the code i'm using:

I have a xml slideshow that is working fine. The problem I am having is all of the images load in at x=0 and y=0.

View 7 RepliesI have multiple nested movieclip in its own different movieclip, and i would like to arrange them accordingly. My idea was to use the localToGlobal function. I can get the position of the MC on stage, but how do I use the function and place the MC based on stage?
cAPos = new Point(objectA.y);
newcAPos = objectA.localToGlobal(cAPos);
cBPos = new Point(objectB.y);
newcBPos = objectB.localToGlobal(cBPos);
objectB.y=objectA.y+objectA.height <-- based on stage

I want it to take the whole screen but i dont want to scale it.The elements on the application will change the position according to the stage size,but i dont know how to change the stage size according to the browser size.
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering how to set my stage to resize relative to the size of the user's browser and keep the main movieclip centered. But I don't want the stage to scale, I want the physical boundaries to get larger without scaling the content.
The reason for this: I have something that we'll call "snow" falling in the background. When the browser resizes, I don't want the stage to scale and the snow flakes get bigger or smaller, but have the stage show more area for the snow flakes to fall. I already have the snow flakes falling outside the current stage boundaries, I'm just wondering how to make the stage boundaries extend dynamically to the size of the browsers.
When I use the following code, I'm able to track the stage size within the browser. But what I don't understand is that when I use StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL instead, the reported height and width of the stage is always fixed at 1920 x 1080 (my stage size in Flash authoring) no matter how small I bring the browser into.

View 3 RepliesIs there any reliable way to give the stage focus when you first open it in a browser window WITHOUT first clicking on the stage? By reliable, I mean something that works across different browsers and on both PCs and Macs.I've seen numerous threads on this subject, and I've read the Adobe tech note, and it seems there is no reliable way.How in the world can Adobe ask people to use Flash and not provide a reliable way to give the stage focus on startup.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a full stage site. I do use this code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeListener);
function resizeListener (e:Event):void {
trace("stageWidth: " + stage.stageWidth + " stageHeight: " + stage.stageHeight);
bG.width = stage.stageWidth;
//mc which contains the bg image bG.height = stage.stageHeight;
But it doesn't work. No error, no warnings. So I don't know what is the problem. It works only in the flash player (Ctrl+Enter), maybe the HTML is wrong?
I have a picture that I want to be my background. So I put it around the stage, but when I test my movie in a web browser, only my stage shows. Is there a way I can get it to all show? I don't really care if my background is cut off, as long as you can see it, because it's a tile sort of picture.
View 4 RepliesIs there a cross-browser solution to making a flash players background invisible? I have a swf movie that I want to sit on a faintly stripped background. I could place the same background in the Flash movie and sit it with CSS - using hacks for i.e. to make the backgrounds match up, but wondered whether there was a simple way of turning the background off?

I need to write a function that will position a movieclip depending on the height of the stage.I'm a little uncertain as how to proceed with this, as my knowledge on AS2 is still developing..Basically I want something like the following thought process:
if stage is < 500px height, then movieclip_y=(Stage.width/2)-100
if stage is > 500px height, then movieclip_y=(Stage.width/2)+100
I hope this makes sense. I guess I'm unsure as how to determine the height of the stage (I've created a stage that sizes itself to the browser dimensions).
