I'm fairly new to flash especially AS3 and I'm trying to make a MC width 100% with the color changing (tint) but I want the rest of my content to remain a fixed size/non scalable and centered. I've seen this tutorial [URL] but don't have a clue where to start.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a custom component (based on ComboBox) and overriding some base methods. Recently I've found it acts weird when I set it's width in percents, rather than a fixed width. It tends to continuously call the commitProperties method and fail in the end. When I set it's width to fixed value - all works like a charm. What am I missing to implement? Here's some code ..
override protected function commitProperties():void {
super.commitProperties();
//some stuff ...

How does flash scale for fullscreen?For example, if I draw a shape and give it a width and height of 100px (square)...does that scale up proportionally when the flash is made full screen? Or does that object stay 100px x 100px?

I`m making a preloader and everything seems to go ok, except that i want to show how much percent of the movie`s been loaded (basing on the Bytes not the frames), but i havent find the way to do it
Note; i made 200 layers, each two has a number from 0 to 1oo,and the actions to check and if not yet go back and check again. An if statement that goes like this
loadpercent = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100;
if (loadpercent != 1) {
gotoAndPlay(2); //on this frame is an action to go back and check//

is there a way to make a minimum width and stop resize? I have a menu I am building that is locked to the bottom of the browser and 3 buttons on the left and a movieClip on the right. When you resize the browser window - currently - you can make the button on the right sink under the three on the left.

Is there a function or property or better way to do what the following code do?
var width:int = 20
while (textField.defaultTextFormat.size > 1 && textField.width > width) {
textField.defaultTextFormat.size--
}
im trying to make a pre-loader, that based on the percent loaded, displays text. So at 5% it says "loading" and at 10% "still loading" , etc. Im guessing there is a way to say percenttotal=5, entertext=still loading target=instancenameoftextbox I've gotten the loader tutorial on the site here to work, i just want to add this to it.

I've done a website in Fullscreen Flash(Not Fullscreen like when you play agame but the full of screen of the browser). To achieve the result, I've set the Flash Width and Height to 100% and I've had a HTML code so there's No Margins. But now the problem is that the jpegs files into the flash are squashing alot. I'd like to keep the perfect quality of jpgs but when it resizes to 100% of a widescreen it squashes for sure and I totally understand. How can I make a Fullscreen Feeling without using 100% Width and Height?I've seen couple of fullscreen flash sites that did it but I don't get how they do.URL...

I have 2 movieClips which I want to make the height and width of the stage. It's worked fine in the first instance (pun, wahey!) but when I add in the second (blackOver) it stops the buttons working and all sorts.

stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

I am cropping a bitmap image into tiles using the following function:
function crop( _x:Number, _y:Number, _width:Number, _height:Number, callingScope:MovieClip, displayObject:DisplayObject = null, pixelSnapping:Boolean = false):Bitmap
{
[Code]....
The width and height being passed in is a non integer value, for instance 18.75. When the new BitmapData is created it always rounds down the value to an integer, since the arguments for BitmapData are typed as such. In the case of my needs here, the width and height will not likely ever be integers. Is there a way to create these bitmap pieces of another image at the exact width and height I need or can a new bitmapData only be created with integer values for height and width?
EDIT: I realize you can't have a fraction of a pixel, but... What I am trying to achieve is dividing an image into tiles. I want the amount of tiles to be variable, say 4 rows by 4 columns, or 6 rows by 8 columns. the division of an image into X number of parts results in widths and heights in most cases to be non integar values like 18.75 for example. The goal is to divide an image up into tiles, and have that image appear, assembled seamlessly, above the source image, where I would then manipulate the individual tiles for various purposes (puzzle game, tiled animation to new scene, etc). I need the image, when assembled from all the tile pieces, to be an exact copy of the original image, with no lines between tiles, or white edges anywhere, and I need this to happen with non integer widths and heights for the bitmapData pieces that comprise the tiles.
how do I create a component in Flex 4.5 (using it for android..) that has a textInput and to its right a button, such that the button has fixed size and the textInput expands to fill the remaining space of the parent of the component?
this is the component..
<s:HGroup>
<s:TextInput width="????"/>
<s:Button width="37" height="37" />
</s:HGroup>
of course I don't know what to put in the width.. should I also specify a width for the HGroup?
when i create stage and make its width and height in pixels Web Browsers show it with pixels too. so i want to make a stage which width and height would be 100% in web browsers. i just want to place buttons and some stuffs on the top and right of the web browser.

Pretty much said it in the title. I have drawn a cartoon in flash (cs4) and because of zooming in and out my lines are different widths (thicknesses?)
Is there any way I can select the entire image (just lines) and somehow "uniform" them?
My website is going to have a main wrapper that is set to a max-width property for compatible browsers. It will stretch to 940px across at max. When scaled down I would like the swf to scale proportionately with it. Like an image with width percent applied. The flash movie has the dimensions of 940 × 360 pixels.
I can't seem to figure out the correct attributes to add to the embed tag to get it to do this.I am currently using jquery flash embed, but am open to other options, though this is my ideal.In the example I have set the flash background to black.
When resize the browser window the flash movie doesn't scale proportionately to the div, only the photo does, leaving a blank canvas (black), while the div height stays the same. I can't add a height value in the CSS.How do I make this scale correctly? Adding a noscale param only crops the image. The swf's height doesn't scale also.
In flex the width can be set to 100%,but in flash it seems I can only set the width/height in unit of px.
Is there a way to set the stage to 100% instead of xxx px in flash?

View 6 RepliesI am tinting some MC items in my application using:
Code:
Color.prototype.setTint = function (r, g, b, amount) {
var trans = new Object();
[code]......
look at the following codes first
var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();
trace( sp.width ); // the result will be 0
var mc:DefinedMC = new DefinedMC(); // assume that DefinedMC is derived from movie clip, and the width of mc is 100
sp.addChild(mc);
trace( ap.width ); // the result will be 100
[code].....
so the size of an instance of Sprite is affected by its children.is there any class derived from DisplayObjectContainer whose size is not affected by its children, or is there any method that could make the size of Sprite is not affected by its children.
Basically I want to make some flash which I am going to import into dreamweaver. The flash I am making needs to be as wide as the users screen. So basically i need to make my stage width the same as either screen resolution, or browser sizer, and then put my bar going full width of stage. What is the code for making the stage same width as screen?
