i'll be straight to point,well i'm now working on a project using action script 3 now what i'm trying to make is a Main SWF that load whatever other swf into it the tricky thing is that i used 1 xml document read the external swf source nad it's setting(such as it's x,y position and it's width and height) and i'm having problem setting it's width and height (i mean the loaded swf width and height)
Code:
//variable list
var swfList:XMLList; //hold all the zone list from the xml
var totalZone:uint; //total of zone there is in the xml
var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I want to load an image from a ByteArray and then set the dimension of the image. I'm doing it in the following way.
var img:Image = new Image()
img.load(byteArray);
img.width = 200;
img.height = 200;
The problem is that if my original image is for example 90x100, I would get displayed an image of 180x200. It seems it cannot modify the proportion of the image! How can I instead obtain a 200x200 image?
The issue I'm having is that I have a main "wrapper" 100x100 (but it could be any size) - it's just there to hold and display whatever content, swf, gif, etc we may want to throw into it. As long as the loaded content doesn't have 3D animation like rotationY going on, it displays fine. But when it does, the 3D "anchor" properties (like projectionCenter) of the loaded swf inherit those of the main timeline (i.e. 100x100 (main) vs 728x90 (loaded)). If I change the dimension of the main "wrapper" in Flash IDE to match what's coming in - the 3D behaves fine, but I won't know what the dimensions of the content will be until it comes, so I need a way (if there is one) to dynamically alter the main "wrapper" or root display object through AS. Stuff like "this.width = loader.width" or "stage.width = loader.width" or "root.width = loader.width" etc doesn't work. Flex has the hBox and vBox
View 1 RepliesAll of this is actionscript 2, NOT 3. I have my opening page which is one big SWF with flash buttons on it. When this swf loads, I have a action on frame 1 of my timeline that reads:It loads the swf into the movieclip placeholder and plays just fine!My problem now seems to be understanding proper syntax for button actions. My objective is to have each flash button load a different SWF into the placeHolder_mc, but it's not working.I've tried:on (press) {loadMovie("about.swf", "placeHolder");}but it doesn't work at all. I've even tried variations, but I really seem to be overlooking something probably due to lack of knowledge.
View 2 RepliesI'm using swfobject, and in the replacement div I have a message for those who don't have Flash or JS support. The replacement div contains a message like "You don't have Flash player, please download here" - my concern here, is that Google will see and index this message, which is not relevant to the content of the page, and it's going to affect the search ranking.
Is there some way to mark a piece of content to be ignored by Google? My guess is no.
But then how do you go about placing a message like this without having it indexed?
My only idea is to use an iframe with nofollow. But then Google will penalize any site that uses frames, so that's not a good option either.

View 3 RepliesI have a swf file loading over the top of a background graphic. The swf only covers part of the background... the part that I want to animate. My intention was that the background graphic would load quickly (it does) and that's what the visitor would see until the swf file completely loads and shows itself seamlessly over the top of the graphic. It would be seamless to the visitor because the swf image is identical to and matches to the background. So from the visitor's perspective, they would see a static image until the swf loads and then see part of that seemingly same image begin to animate.
However, what happens is that the background image loads and then a big black box (where the swf is loading) appears over the background until the swf file is completely loaded.I have tried setting my swf background to transparent, but that does not work.Does anyone know a way to prevent the black box (of the loading swf) from showing over my background image while the swf file loads?
I have a class (ImageLoader) that extends Sprite container and loads an external image to its instance. When i instantiate an object of this class from another (Main) class i want to have the dimensions (width, height) of the loaded image being known to this (Main) class. It seems that is difficult for me as the dimensions are known after the image compete loaded. But i don't know how to pass this information from completeHandler event handler to the Main class.

txt.text = "TRY WITH THIS";
I've seen around the web flash websites with text bigger than the max flash dimension of 72 pt. How can I make that? I've tried with the code above but it seems that flash set the text size to 72.
I know that one of the most frequently asked questions is on how to resize a movieclip to fit the dimensions of an image.
My question is similar, but kind of inverse;
I need to resize an image to fit in an empty mc.
Code:
loadMovie("image/imageTest.jpg", mc_appImage);
mc_appImage._width = 190;
mc_appImage._height = 225;
There's my current code... the image loads fine, but does not rezie :/ What am I doing wrong? What do I need do to make this work?

View 0 RepliesOk, here's the deal. I want to generate a maximum of 5 childs in a clip called 'placeholder' using a button (placeCloud_1). the childs will 'float' to the top of the stage. when the y=0 the child must be removed (using the function checkPos() ) so i can add another child without exceding the number of 5 childs.

Everything works, except for the removeChild! i've tried removeChild(this) , this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(mc), placeholder.removeChild(this) etc... and nothing works. When using (this) it throws TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert global@2f6710d1 to flash.display.DisplayObject.

when using (mc) it throws

i've got 5 images. i want the following things to happen:

3. the images stay on the screen for approx. 5 seconds each.
I am streaming flash video and the dimension of the video is 1280 by 720 (same size as the stage)
but just before the video streams, there is a quick flash of the video (about 320px by 240px) at the top corner of the stage, and then it plays the videos at the correct size (which is 1280 by 720) .... a quick flash is the best way I can explain it.
This is my code:
function clicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);
[Code]....
is there anyway I can stop that quick flash of the video .... so when I click on the button, it just plays the video, at the correct size?
if i create and swf let say for desktop application and it is full action script without any object in the stage ( movie clip and etcetera is created and placed by action script 3) not even in the library panel ( i mean no manual object that i added to library oanel and linking it to my code by using the linkage ) what would become the width and height of this application?? let just say for example i make a slideshow swf which load it's image by reading a xml file (the url of the image file is in the xml file).i ask this because when i test my swf (stage.width) it return 0.and when i loaded it into another swf i cannot set the loaded swf dimension (i did use event.complete).

I'm looking to create a popup which opens a "template" html page with an image placeholder. This way you should be able to send a variable from the swf and open up the same html page each time but the image would change as you change the variable from the flash button.
Basically I have flash page containing various thumbnails and when clicked, each one will open a larger version, but I dont want to make a html page for each one so rather 'send' the filename to the html page if this is possible?
[URL]
I was given this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Image viewer</title>
<script>
function loader(){
[code]....
I just basically want the swf file to decide which jpeg is to be loaded into the popup.html.
