ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing DIV Height In Safari - Movie Flicker
Jun 1, 2011
I'm making a flash website that sits on a div. However, I have a jQuery fucntion that changes the size of this div, which I call within my flash movie. Then, the flash movie adapts to the div change, for bigger or smaller pages. It is all working just fine on Firefox and IE. Not so lucky in Safari. After many tests, it seems the simple act of changing the div height, in which my flash movie sits, makes the movie flicker.
when I layer an swf over html, with all the good stuff in place (wmode = transparent, z-index), I can't access the html elements in Firefox/Chrome/Safari. Here's a link to a test [URL] This is a stripped down version; I've also tried using swfobject.
im trying to make a movie clip flicker really fast. At first i had two keyframes. the first one set the movie clips visibility to true and the secong to false. Its just not quite as fast as i wanted and i dont want to change the fps. how to do this with actionscript. Im sure its pretty easy.
I am resizing a movie clips height automatically to match the height of some dynamic text that is displayed above it (will eventually be loading it from xml ). is there a way to keep a safe margin top and bottom? this is my code so far Text_Box_Graphic.height = Text_Box.height;
I'm using myship.height =+=1 to change objects height but it changes height from top of picture rather than the center. How do I change it so its origin is central and grows outwards rather than downwards if that makes sense.
I have a movieclip in the library that contains a RadioButton component and a TextField; it serves as a container. I pull the clip out of the library at runtime and populate the text into the TextField. I don't know what height the TextField within the movieclip will be but I want the movieclip's height to be the same as the height of the text in the TextField so I can position it appropriately. However, the container movieclip always wants to be some other default height (I think 100px) and when I try to change it thru code after the text is set, it scales the whole thing (TextField & RadioButton) and looks like garbage! I need to set the height dynamically without the stupid scaling.
You would think the movieclip would resize based on it's content but it doesn't! I've tried pulling it from the Library, I've tried doing everything thru code, but neither changes the height vs. scaling issue.
I have just come up with this idea of passing in strings into a textbox. The problem is having the height automatically adjust depending on how long the string is. So I have set width for my textbox, but I want the height to change if the string is long enough to wrap.
how to change the height of the stage dynamically, with ActionScript. Is there a way to change the height of the stage with a pixel value? I don't want to scale down the whole movie just make the stage bigger, just like when you change it manually in Modify-Document.
is it possible to dynamically change the height of the stage?I am using 'dimensions: pixels', and 'noscale' as publish settings. What I would like to do is, when the height of a movieclip gets bigger (because of its dynamically loaded content), to make the 'stage.height' bigger too, so you can scroll more downwards.
I know stage.height is read-only, but it would be nice to have just the right amount of space at the bottom of the page, depending on how high the movieclips are. Reading back, I wonder if i state my question clear, hopefully I use the right terminology.so if stage.height would work i would like to do something like:
I want to change the height and width of an object (specifically doubling it) after an interval of 2 seconds until the height and width of the object reach over 100. I've made two different scripts to try to make this possible.
I have a movieclip that has a 1px wide line by 10px high. Im trying to resize that line with tweenlite, however when i change the height it makes it wider too... How can i do this and keep the line 1px?
I'd like to know if anyone knows how to change the height of the stage dynamically, with ActionScript.Is there a way to change the height of the stage with a pixel value?I don't want to scale down the whole movie just make the stage bigger, just like when you change it manually in Modify-Document.
[code] _buttonUnderline = new Sprite(); with(_buttonUnderline.graphics) { [/code].....
When the Tween takes place though it not only changes the width, it changes the height as if it were scaling it up in both directions. Why does this behavior take place? And how can I get it so that only the width changes? I have also tried using scaleX as the property but it does the same thing.
how can I change the height and width of stage dynamically. I tried it with the following code:
Stage.height = 250; Stage.width = 250;
during the run time. Initially the Stage is at a height and width of 370 and 450 respectively. Also when I tried to trace the height and width of Stage after resizing the stage width and height, its showing the old value of width and height. That means the width and height not chnaging.
I am trying to change the width and height of instances of a symbol programmatically. Basically, the symbol contains a few colored rectangles, a bitmap, and some text. I want to change the height and width of each instance of the symbol based on how low the text string is that is in the instance's text field, but the bitmap's size should always stay the same, 24x24 pixels.[code]The problem is that using this code seems to scale everything up, including the bitmap. I have tried to programmatically add the 24x24 pixel bitmap to the symbol programmatically after I changed the height, but it still seems to be scaled..
I thought I had a handle on AS3, DisplayObjectContainers, etc. but this basic thing is really confusing me: changing the width/height of a sprite does not affect it's visual contents - either graphics drawn within it or any children it may have.[code]...

I develop some components where I use movie clips as skin. In the scene I have 2 movie clips with width 200px and height 100px, one of them I change the width to 200px and height to 100px, well, it should remain the size as nothing happens but it doesn't. The movie clip that I change the size through as3 it's actually getting smaller, and more strange, it only happens when the movie clip has an Outline. The file is attached. It's Flash CS4.
I am trying to resize a line within a movie clip. I am resizing the mc horizontally, but when I do this the height of the line also changes. I can of course resize the line itself, but this can't be used for tweening. How can I resize/tween a 1px high line horizontally without changing the height as well?
Task of my code that movieclip added on stage, change its size - height when change size of browsers (player) window thus height movieclip = height browsers(player) window.
That is my code: package {import flash.display.*; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.StageAlign; import flash.display.StageScaleMode; import flash.events.Event; [Code] .....
In the issue MovieClip menubg added on stage but when I change size of window I get error: TypeError: Error #1009: It is not possible to cause property or a method referring to object "null".at ZhMenu/onResize() And menubg dont change its size of course.
when i view my flash file in firefox 3.5.5, it compresses my flash movie smaller and quality looks pretty bad. In Safari, it is fine. I tried publishing as "exact pixels" instead of match movie and set scale at exact fit.
update: now firefox is cropping my flash movie....but safari looks fine
I have a html page that has a flash movie embedded in it. In the movie, when a button is pressed, it passes variables to a PHP script, processes them and then sends the variables back to the movie (all behind the scenes)... It works perfectly in Firefox, but in Safari 2.0.4 (for mac) nothing happens when I press that button...looking at the 'Activity' window in Safari, it shows the url to the php file and beside it '0 bytes of ?' indicating that it can't locate or process the page properly.
Has anyone else encountered this?
The strangest thing is that I just tested it on my older mac laptop which has Safari 1.3.2 on it, and it worked fine! ... I've never had problems with php on the 2.0.4 version of Safari before (being run on an intel iMac) ... and I tried it on another iMac in here, and it didn't work on it either!... so it must just be that version of Safari for some reason..? and I also tested this file on a PC with both IE and Firefox and it worked fine..so I'm confused as to what could be going on.
I want to create another button on the main menu of my flash site. I want to take one of the existing buttons (which are set as movie clips) and modify it to show a different menu name and page link. BUT when I go into my library and "duplicate" my movie clip, change the instance name, drag it to the stage and attempt to modify it, the original changes as well. I need to keep the original the same and create a new one with the same code, frames, etc but with different static text. I keep going in circles
a movie clip symbol is designed and subclassed in Flash, but get instanced and addChild-ed in AS3. It works well as long as I don't change it's width/height property (scaling works too), but if i do, it disappears
