ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Change Stage Dimensions
Sep 17, 2011
i'm using AS3 and I'm trying to change the stage dimensions to get bigger when I press a button. The current dimensions are 550 x 700, and I thought the code:import flash.events.MouseEvent;btn.addEventListener(Mouse Event.CLICK, makeStageBigger);function makeStageBigger(evt:MouseEvent) {stage.stageWidth = 800;stage.stageHeight = 900;}would work, but nothing happens. I'm getting no errors or anything, but when I click the button, it doesn't work.
I am wondering if it's posible to set the backgroundcolor of the stage through as3 code.i am also wondering if it's possible to set the stage height and stage width through the code. for the application i wish to develop, the values of the stage color and the stage dimensions are provided by an XML file.
What do I have to write to keep the movieclip not to change dimensions if the user starts playing with the dimensions of his screen ? I remember it was a line of as3 written at the beginning.
iv been trying for awhile now to get a few of the buttons im using on a site to change dimensions when i hover
basically i would like the button background to change dimensions and extend length wise to the other end of the web page whenever the mouseover appears the lenght of the botton extends smoothly and also goes back to its original size smoothly without snapping back
iv read lots of tutorials (got adobe flash cs4 book) but its all about moving images and so forth not really dimensions
if anyone can point out a tutorial or knows how to resolve this
I have a Sprite object on the stage. What I should do in order to change the dimensions (viz.,size,colour, or both ,etc) of this Sprite object, when it gets clicked?My sample code looks like this:
Code: var circle:Sprite = new Sprite(); stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onStage); function onStage(e:MouseEvent):void {
I've developed a game in the dimensions 1024x1280.I realize now what a massive mistake that was..My question is, is there any way to make the dimensions smaller dynamically or by using the IDE WITHOUT manually revamping everything (I'm not willing to do this )
The more I work with this program, the more weird stuff I encounter. I set up my .fla file as 700 x 400. I've been putting stuff on the stage and adding tweens, then when I test the movie, part of the stage image is cut off. I turned on the ruler, and found that the top of my stage is aligned at X 0.00 and Y -44.50. I drew a box the size of the entire stage, and its position is X 0.00 and Y -44.50, and the dimensions are 700 x 469. Can anyone tell me why my stage is larger than 700 x 400, and how to get the top left corner of the stage to be aligned at X 0.00 and Y 0.00?
I have a few classes in my project which aren't display objects, but they need to know about the stage of my project (stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight). Is there a simple way to pass this information along to my classes without using a Singleton or passing these items in as parameters into the constructor??
was wondering if someone could tell me how to modify this code so i can export the stage at its dimensions in pixels. Right now the script saves the stage without bounds, unconstrained. I need it to draw the stage at its default 1280x720 stage size and whatever is within the stage bounds, not whats off the stage bounds
function createJPG(m:MovieClip, q:Number, fileName:String) { var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData (m.width, m.height); jpgSource.draw(m);
how to get the dimensions of my stage (x,y), BUT only the stage and not all the objects that might continue off the stage included.For example : My stage is 400 x 550.I want to get 400 and 550 returned.
If you set the stage.scaleMode to StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL, your swf may be scaled up or down, and may be padded on the top/bottom or left/right. However, stage.width + height always return the width and height as defined by your swf, and stage.scaleX + Y always return 1. As I understand it, resize events are not thrown. So how do I get the actual scale and dimensions?
I want them for two problems:I want to fill that padding on the top/bottom or left/right with something only if the user can see it. I am drawing vectors into bitmaps and want to properly scale it so it doesn't look jagged (or fuzzy with bitmap.smoothing). Flash seems to do the scaling correctly when you cacheAsBitmap=true, so how do I recreate this?
I've got a resize listener where I change my movieclips' dimensions and positions.[code]But how I set the minimum allowed resize of the stage?I don't want the stage to be smaller than 1024x600 for example.
Code: var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth()); var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); mcLoader.addListener(this);[code]....
This always traces the width/height of the content of the external crossball.swf file, not its stage dimensions. So let's say crossball.swf has a document size of 200 by 200 pixels and in it is a shape of 115 by 30 it will trace the last as the width/height of 'container'.Is there any way to get the stage dimensions of an externally loaded swf through moviecliploader?
In the Flash CS 5.5 AIR settings for iOS, in the General tab of a panel, there's a menu that lets you specify the target device:
-iPhone; -iPad; -(both) iPhone and iPad;
What happens if I specify the third? That is: I can't understand if I can use the default stage dimensions (iPhone dimensions) or I must eventually create a stage (and assets) for iPad (and it will work for iPhone too).
i've one movile clip,i want several instances of dat movieclip randomly spread in the specified dimensions of stage.dis is simple but i want 2 start from one location then they should stop ramdomly and at radom palces wid random speed [URL] in above site ,if u click portfolio button u can see d red movieclip movement.
I am loading the SWF just fine, but I want the SWF to fit the root stage exactly. What happens instead is that the external SWF seems to include white space from around itself.
For example, the author-set width of the Tanks game (an example file I was using) is 550px, but when I set the width of loadEvent.currentTarget.content.width to 550px, the game is resized to maybe 350px width. I have to set the value of loadEvent.currentTarget.content.width to something like 640 in order to get the game itself to make full use of those 550 pixels.
I have CS4 with AS3. I hard-coded values for cWidth and cHeight instead of getting them from flashvars because I am just testing in the IDE right now. Normally I would get those vars from flashvars.
how do i make sure my flash movies are clipped at their stage dimensions for html.as it is now, anything thats big enough to over lap or are off my stage still show up.all i want displayed is whats on the stage, and nothing else. is there a specific code i need to use? or is it just a check box setting that i cant find in my publish settings?
Im trying to downgrade an AS3 project i have and i've run into a bit of an issue. Specifically... when loading an external movieclip using MovieClipLoader i want to access the stage height and width of the movie. I have tried using:
In AS3, I have a Sprite that has a Z axis rotation applied.How do I calculate that Sprite's dimensions (it's original size) from Sprite.rotationZ and Sprite.getRect(...)?
how I could re-size my stage?As well as, I would like to know how I could pan my moving animation horizontally/vertically? And is it possible to make an image fade to the next scene without a whiteout or blackout? How can I do this?
I have one that's almost done and the stage size is 700x800 px. But I'm starting to worry if that's going to look too small? To change it, will be a lot of work - there's animation, imported Jpegs etc. As far as I can tell, in order for it to look correct in larger dimensions I will need to basically create it again from the ground up. So, I'd really like to get an idea of what the optimal pixel dimensions would be for ecards to run on multiple platforms.
I really want to do this and I don't feel like I can move ahead until I get the viewing size correct. I don't even mind redoing the card. I just want my future cards to be the correct size. I don't want to have to come back and redo them all. By the way, the cards are being made in Flash. The site itself will be created in DreamWeaver.
I've been working on a project that requires lots of scaling around a center point.
I always thought that stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight give you the dimensions of the stage you set in the properties panel no matter what. But when I went into fullscreen mode (with scaling), both the width and the height changed to the dimensions of the screen rather than staying the dimensions I specified.
I have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.
I have a shell SWF that contains two empty movie clips - one is the navStage and one is the contentStage. I am loading one SWF into the navStage and a default SWF into the contentStage.Now I'm trying to have a button in the navStage change the SWF loaded in the contentStage. I know in AS2 you could reference _root.[stage] to do this, but it seems to be trickier in AS3.[code]As you can see, I'm trying to unload the movie currently in the "contentStage" and load a new movie.I'm very new to this and am trying to convert an existing site from AS2 to AS3 that follows this basic principal.
Is it possable To change the scale mode of a swf in the html embed code?
my problem: I have the popular free flash game 'metal slug' as a swf, Its too large and wont resize as it was exported by who ever made it to preserve aspect ratio....
Ive been trying all day to get it to resize but it wont:
