View 7 RepliesI'm building a portfolio full flash site, trying to make a resize to fit with any monitor size. I have two swfs. One main.swf and page.swf as a child which loads within main one.
My problem is when I resize my browser or directly from Flash: main.swf file and resizing with my mouse. The page.swf keeps loading over and over again. I want it loads once and when resize it will fit with size of any browser dimension.[code]...Make resize to fit with any monitor size?
Monitors are different sizes so does a flash player change to fit
i changed this as i have no replies is this not this would be common process to change, the size of the screen to fit different size browsers.
how to center a 1966px wide flash regardless of the users resolution or size of the monitor?
..and without resizing it just cropping both sides of it in the browser.
Does the value of Stage.stageWidth or Stage.stageHeight change as per the screen-resolution, monitor-size, browser etc ?
View 2 RepliesI'm using an online charting program written in flash. I have Flash 10 and IE8. Each time it draws a chart, my available physical memory decreases. On my WinXP Pro machine with an i7 processor and 4G RAM I can draw ~20 charts before available memory decreases to 1.6G and IE locks up. On my laptop with WinXP Pro, Core 2 Duo and 2G RAM with Flash 10 and IE7 I can draw about ~40 charts before available memory decreases to 160M and IE locks up. It seems that the only way to get the memory back is to close and then reopen the tab. Is this common to Flash or was this program poorly written? Would I have better luck with another browser
View 1 RepliesI have a Flash object that I need to embed in a page, and I've got it in a wrapper div that is styled to the exact width of the object: 323px. The problem I have is that when I zoom the whole page in the browser (for example, by using ctrl+mouse wheel, or ctrl++ or ctrl+-, the wrapper div zooms, while the flash object does not. Is there a way that I can specify a width in physical screen pixels, so when I zoom in or out, the wrapper div stays the size of the Flash object?
View 1 RepliesI'm using UILoaders to load different .swf files into the main .swf and am having a problem when I try to load a specific .swf file after a series of steps.I wanted to know if there was a way to see which is the current path that the application is in so that I can know if my relative paths are working or if I have to change them.I want to do something in the likes of this.path, or anything that works that way.
View 1 RepliesI would like to know if it's possible to tie Flash into physical devices, so the display is of course flash, but underlying input is from a physical device. Such as metal detector, water gauge, battery voltage, etc.
View 1 RepliesI might get a job for a museum which involves triggering various movies / interactions with physical buttons. The details aren't quite clear yet but I thought I should get started with researching hardware options to be prepared. I imagine there will be a physical button to start the presentation, a button to stop it and perhaps a forward / rewind button? Or it could also be 4-5 physical buttons built into the wall next to a screen each of which would launch different movies. Is this something that can be done in flash at all? Are there such buttons out there that can easily be plugged into a computer through USB and then connected to a simple flash movie?

I need direct-to-printer functionality for my website, with the ability to distinguish a physical printer from a virtual printer (file).has this functionality via a native binary which must be installed by the user. I'd prefer to avoid thatI dug through that Java APIs a bit, and don't see anything that would let you determine physical vs virtual, except looking at the name (that seems prone to misidentification). It would be nice to be able to do it in Java, because I already know how to write Java applets. Failing that, is there a way to do this in Flash or Silverlight?

View 1 Repliesis there a way to get this parameter from flash somehow? The Capabilities class can't do it. I'm using the latest Flex SDK and the new Molehill API for FP11, if that matters.
View 6 RepliesI want to write an application that monitor the USB port, and when something is connected should show the contents of the drive (image viewer) automatically.there is any way to do that with Flex/Flash directly?or i might program another application in C in order to monitor the USB port and then comunicate with the front-end application with sockets?
View 2 RepliesI'd like to open a window in my AIR/Flex application on a second monitor if it's available. Don't know how to go about it. Tried this:mySecondWindow.x = Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
But this only gets the size of the first monitor and if I try to assign a greater value, it switches to default 100px offset. Is there a proper approach to this? My native screen is maximized in "preinitialize" and then I open the second window on "applicationComplete".

View 2 RepliesIs there a mechanism by which an AIR application can manually display in whichever monitor I choose? I can look at the display list in Screen.screens, but I'm unclear on how to actually force the drawing of the app into one of those.

View 1 RepliesI am wondering if there is an easy way of monitoring whether or not an mc is within the boundaries of another mc while it is being dragged. Currently I am using different equations to determine the leftmost, rightmost, topmost and bottommost points of each mc and then when they are being dragged comparing their x,y coordinates. Is there an easier way... I ask because this seems to be quite a lot of code to get through for such a simple operation, especially when the function containing the code is being called each time the mouse moves..

I have some code that will be generating data into a TextField. However I want to be able to monitor when the TextField is updated, a function is called.
Currently the onChanged command will only work when a user has entered information into the TextField and not when data is inserted via actionscript.
how I can monitor the change to the TextField when using actionscript to input data, but work the same as the onChanged command?
I have a movie clip to display a clock and a datagrid for showing my schedule. I want my flash to alarm with sound when the time from the clock match one time on the schedule. Here is my actionscript:
Code:
clock_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.timer[i]==_root.clock_mc.clock_txt.text.substr(0,5)) {
alertSound = new Sound(alertSoundMc);
[Code]....
As you can see, I use onEnterFrame to listen and check matching between time on clock and schedule but it will check all the time and when it alarmed it produced sound all the time while the time is matched. I would like my flash to alarm only one or few times.
I have create a clock which displaying in TextField named clock_txt. I want flash to do some thing when one more minute is added. Can I monitor this change and how?

View 2 RepliesMy connection at work seems to be a bit rocky. I'd like to make a simple graph using the awesome power of ActionScript to demonstrate the rockiness of work compared to the smoothness at home to my IT guys.Websites like speedtest.net won't cut it as sometimes my connection is great, with sudden cutoffs randomly. Other apps won't work as I can't install software at work.
Any thoughts on how to get started? I'm guessing I download some audio or something at regular intervals or something to test/graph (I can handle the graph part)? I don't need specifics, although I'd be delighted to see examples if any. I really just need some general guidance on where to get started.
