I am loading an external swf, but when the swf is loaded, its height is correct, but it's width is not. Why is this?
"Block9.swf" is a simple MovieClip with a width of 100 and a height of 120.
But when the swf is loaded, its width output is 169. But the height is correct at 120.
Code:
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(swfLoader);
var swfRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Block9.swf");

how i can set the size of an external swf i have loaded into a target movieclip ive got the external swf loading into the target ok but its too big.
View 2 RepliesIf you load an external swf and after it is totally loaded give it as to change size properties. the file jumps from his size exactly to the pretended.

View 1 Repliesi try to implement a preloader for my site but i have the following problems:once the preloader is finished it opens my external swf but this one appears below the preloader and very little in the window (almost smaller than my preloader size)

I have a background image at 720x576px. My flash document is also set to the same. When I import my graphic and drag it onto the stage it is a completely different size?
This means I have to re-size using the free transform tool, and as I have to re-size many images for different movies that have to be exact, what is the best way to re-size them? Should my imported image not fit the stage size exactly without re-sizing at all?
I have a movieclip that i want to move when i push the left and right keys, which i have working however it when i embed this swf file into a web page the movieclip object will not stay within the stage size i set, in other words the longer i hold left the further along the web page it moves. Does anyone know a way other than [SWF(width="500", height="500", frameRate="30", backgroundColor="#FFFFFF")]
I also tried cropping the moving movieclip which did not help it just moved the smaller movieclip all over the screen in the same way.
I already set if conditions to stop the movieclip going out of bounds but it only seems to work within adobe flash player
I envision a series of photo gallery sites with certain elements that do not scale (thumbnails) and certain elements that do (the big pictures). Hopefully these big pictures will scale to be as big as possible within the available space in the browser window, but I don't want them floating over. I would like to know if the flash swf can "measure" the size of the browser window, then call the server to have the correct size JPEGs sent to flash to be displayed. That way I'm not getting a 2000 pixel JPEG for someone with a 1024x768 browser window. Dynamic scaling of bitmaps seems possible as of flash 8, but I would like to be able to measure windows to load a JPEG closer to the correct size for 2 reasons:
1. It seems like maybe it would load faster if I'm only sending the correct size JPEG to the browser, and not something significantly larger
2. It seems like once JPEGs have been scaled to less than 50% of their size in Flash, they tend to exhibit anti-aliasing artifacts that are undesirable.
It won't be me doing the programming, but I like to have some sense of what the possibilities are and I try to speak at least a little of the language of the programmers.
if for example I'm creating a scene with falling snowflakes. In the movieclip is there a way of correctly knowing which area of the main scene you're working in? Or is it just a case of creating the movie, then returning to your scene and placing in where it's appropriate?
View 3 RepliesIm sitting here with a project that i feel i have come a long way with (found some very usefull rescources). But i am stuck now and need some guideance in short terms what i am doing is a project where users can take a snapshot of them selves by using their webcams, and then save this picture.
This is all going ok, but when i save the picture its not the same size as the webcam picture. From what i can tell there is something going wrong with the bitmap creation process, and i cant seem to figure out how to add a field that i can toss the picture into like i have done with the video. (its using addchild(bitmap) now and that just adds a small picture at a given x & y, but i cant control size of it. And the saved pictures im getting are the size of the video area, but only 1/8th is filled with the picture, rest is just white..

View 4 RepliesI'm currently working on a website design. The idea is a big chromakeyed interactive video in Flash. The size of the video is 1080 (width) x 1500 (height) pixels.I've exported the video in After Effects with the standard settings for flash (File>Export>Adobe Flash Player(SWF)). Now when I import the video in Flash and preview the file, the video plays in a slower speed and it's not playing smooth at all...Is the video too big? Is there a maximum video-size to keep the video running correct in Flash? Is it something else that causes this problem..?
View 5 RepliesI'm using AS2 and Flash CS4. I'm having problems loading an external swf correctly. I get it loaded and displayed ok, but not in the correct spot. The movie clip is the same size as swf, and the registration point is in the top left corner. However, each time it loads it ends up in the bottom right corner of the screen.
View 1 Repliesi was trying to load an dynamic swf by an external path using the addVariable of swfObject. But i seem to be lost when im already trying to call the path of the swf. on the loadMovie function, i noticed that "_level0.bg" which is a String and myRandom as Number is not possible to concatenate. how to be able to call this path properly so that i can load the swf?
Code:
_root.onLoad = function() {
var myRandom = Math.floor(Math.random() * _level0.totalPic) + 1;
_root.bg_mc.loadMovie("_level0.bg" + myRandom); // it should be like _level0.bg1;
}

I'm trying to get the depths of all the blocks to be at the correct levels at the correct times so that the 3d effect is maintained. I've tried many things, but have had little success. All the instances of the blocks are stored in an array, but since it's adding them in accordance with when they're added to the stage, it doesn't help me locate them to swap depths. Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?

i want the swf or jpg that i load into an empty clip in my main movie to scale to the size of the stage. How do i get the height and width of the jpg/swf being loaded?
i was thinking i could take that info and do a little ratio action and scale it to fit.
i have external swf with a size of 750x500, then it loads to main swf where it size is 750x700 now i want my external swf loads to main with its fix size which is 750x500, how should i do that?i've tried stage.stageWidth etc and swfLoader.width etc, but doesnt work.
View 14 Replies[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

but traced number is always 0 however the real size of picture is 256 x 192. How should I change the script for it works?
[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.
