i'm trying to load an external swf (as2) and I want to use it as a background for my movie.I'm doing it with this code:
Code:
var bg = new Loader();
bg.load(new URLRequest("background.swf"));
addChild(bg);
[code]....
Why is not working when I set as the width and height the stageWidth and stageHeight parameters?
Ok so basicaly what I want to do is load in an external swf onto the stage which is 1024x768, above all existing items (so preferably into an existing container mc) but set the loaded swf's width/height so that it fits into a pre-determined space of 700x400, even though the loaded SWF is larger.
The stage of the SWF being loaded in is 700x400, which as stated above is the desired size, but objects within it are larger than it's stage for purposes of the animation. This means that when you load the SWF onto your current stage with the normal loadMovie("xxx.swf","container") you wind up seing parts of the object that would normaly be outside the 700x400 stage if you were to view the SWF on it's own, obviously resulting in an ugly movie clip.
I could cover up those parts with extra layers, but the majority of the primary stage is transparent so this isn't really an option. So, is there a way to load an external SWF but only display the actual stage of that SWF, or set the width/height to mimmick the same sort of thing?
I'm trying to load an swf into a main xml-generated swf (photoGallery.swf). The external swf doesn't seem to scale and my display is all messy... After so much coding and so little to no experience, I'm pulling my hair. #_#
check out my files here: [URL] (the folder's size is too big to be directly attached to this post).
I have 2 swf files, both are 1024x768 pixels. splash1.swf loads first and must be displayed at 100% by 100%, when splash1.swf finishes it loads splash2.swf inside of it - problem is the second swf comes in scaled all funky, this one must be loaded at actual size to display properly 1024 x 768.
I really don't want to have to load another html page, is there any way the swf can force it to load not scaled but actual size. Or anyway to dynamically change the html size attributes?[code]....
[URL]while in "portfolio" section, if you resize, the content go to the left.I know WHY it does it : while in a MC, an external movieclip lose his stagesize to compress into the movieclip, if resize, it use the size of ALL the content in the SWF to resize. the external fla stage is 1600 x 680, but the content goes out of the stage to the right to make an 1760 x 680 size.to make it LOAD at the right place and right size, i've got a layer with a MC (externalStageSize) in the external SWF that is the size of the Stage, while on frame 1, only this MC(externalStageSize) is active, so when loaded, the _level0 flash can position and scale the external SWF.
BUT, while active content is on, any live resize does not go well..I tried to "connect" the scaling with (externalStageSize) BUT once loaded the size does not change.I wanted to use the math : "new width" = ("allcontent".width / externalStageSize._width)/Stage.width but _level0.ContentMC.externalStageSize._width return the value it have in the flash... like, even if rescale, it will say "1600" is there a way to counter this ? before you ask : AS3 was out of the question because the person who will maintain the site is not that advanced.
some script used when resize :
ContenuMC : the movieclip in witch external swf is loaded
Code:
function setContent() {
// content dimensions
ContenuMC._width = Stage.width;

On loading the first frame of the movie I am trying to load a map at 50% scale. I tried loading into the frame where the map is located...
Code:
map_mc._xscale=50
map_mc._yscale=50
That did not work.
I will be inserting hotspots which will bring it to 100%scale.
I'm seeking a method that tells me whether my code is running inside an AIR app or not. Something a lot less tacky than polling an AIR-only method. So far, searching the docs has been unfruitful.

How to scale the external "swf" to display in full screen?
I able to load the "swf", but do not have ideas how to scale the external swf to full screen. (I already set the main swf in full screen)
I have this code to scale external images to full-screen:
function resize_image(){
pic = big_mc.swfloader;
Stage.align = "TL";
[Code].....
It works fine but I want to change it so the scaling is determined by the browser height, at the moment it scales to the browser width so you lose some of the image height - Also, need to keep the images in proportion
I am trying to load a random image into a movie clip that will scale 100%. Then have the content MC noScale and stay the same. If I insert a picture into the bg movieclip, it scales and shows up no problem. Soon as I try to load a random image into the bg movieClip the picture just does not show up!! But what is even weider, is that I have it set up that if the picture is 100% loaded for another MC to play, which it does! So the picture is there, but it's invisible? And no the picture is not progressive.
Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "LT";
bg.onResize = function() {
this._width = Stage.width;
this._height = Stage.height;

I have multiple Flash forms that all go to the same database via php I am trying to figure out how to have a pre-determined "Value" for one of these fields..URL...then "Collectors" then "Invitation Request" Once you choose what type of collector you are a drop down form comes up. I need a way to make the first field or "type of collector" to be filled in and send the different pre-filled fields to my database...I know this is a complicated explanation but I don't know how to ask it any simpler.

View 1 RepliesI'm working in Flash 9, AS2.
I have a button that (should) open a new window whose URL is determined by a variable, downloadlink:
on(press) {
downloadlink = _root.download[songnumber];
_root.getURL(downloadlink, "_blank");
}
I've traced this, and the variable for downloadlink is working correctly, pulling in a full URL like [URL] from an array in the root
this does not seem to be a popup block issue - because when I replace the code with: downloadlink = [URL] ... the new page opens with no problem, in a new window

View 5 RepliesI did a simple flash file to be able to users paint on draw. Now i want to change the icon only on certain zones but i don't know how to do that.. I want the icon to be the pencil when it's on the yellow area and i want it to be red again when it's on the red area.
Here is my fla: [URL]
Let's say I have three symbols (whether they are movie clips or graphics, I'm not sure yet, but let's assume they're movie clips). Okay three movie clips, each is 5 frames of animation. The clips are named bugs1, bugs2, and bugs3.
Okay, now I have a variable named bugsvalue. Here's what I want to do:
If bugsvalue == 1, I want bugs1 to appear on the screen. If bugsvalue == 2, I want bugs2 to appear on the screen. And if bugsvalue == 3, I want bugs3 to appear on the screen.
There's two ways I think this can work, but logistically don't know if either one will work. We can have all 3 on the screen, but have their visibility set to 0. When the variable is equal to their value, their visibility is set to 100 and they appear. I don't like this approach because it's means having all three on the screen, which increases demand on the computer.
The other way to do it is to have none of them on the screen. Then when their variable is equal, have the clip actually appear and then when the variable isn't equal anymore, to have that clip disappear.
If this is confusing, is there a way I can provide a .FLA so perhaps you can see what I want to happen?
All movie clips are in the library, but I don't know how to call something from the library to appear on the stage, and then disappear again when I don't need it on the screen anymore.
what I need to do is take a value (angle) and round it to the nearest number from a pre-determined set of values (e.g - [0, 45, 90, 180...]. The purpose of this is to restrict the angle to vertical, horizontal or diagonal movement (it's for a word search).

I cant seem to make my preloader disappear after the MovieClipLoader class has determined the load is complete. I have a movieclip I attach onto the stage called thumbnailModule_mc inside of it I have the preloader movieclip (a simple spinning circle) and the image holder movieclip that the MovieClipLoader is listening to see when the image load is complete. When the load completes I want to set the alpha to zero and fade in the image. But my code doesn't work! the preloader stays visible.
