I am having a slight issue, i have created a flash file 800 x 600,But i need to split it into half... i already have animations on both halfs which overflow to the off screen,Is there a way of cutting the content in half via width (400x600)? (im uploading the content into a system which requires it in 2 halfs and also if i have any content off screen is messes up...)
View 4 RepliesI was looking at this tutorial, this is exactly what I am trying to do with my website, but this is AS3, is there a way to change the code so it will function exactly the same but with AS2 code instead.
I have already contstructed my site with AS2, which then wont allow this code to work, Is there even a way I can have an AS3 index file that loads the movies with the AS2 and applies the same resizing to the movies that have been loaded.
I have a List Component being resized at runtime based on the size of the Stage. It seems to scale the content rather than just changing the bounds of the list. Is there a way to change its size programatically without scaling the content?
View 1 RepliesAny code for resizing a swf film and content. This is to make possible to see the entire movie as one resizes the browser window.
View 1 RepliesI thought that in the past I had seen a tutorial on this site teaching how to have a outlined box scale smaller and larger when a button is clicked, and the size of the box scales to a certain size depending on what loads inside the box. When this happens the outline does not change either. This all being done in most likely actionscript?
Well I have searched extensively and have not found it on this site, which I thought is where I had seen it. Anyway I was wondering if anyone knew of the tutorial or if they could tell me how to do what I have exlained above that would be really awesome!
I have a banner that is 468x60 pixels and I need to rezize it to 728x90 - this includes scaling all of the content over the timelines proportionally.
View 6 RepliesI have flash content online that is 1024x800 px but need it to resize/scale dynamically if the browser window is resized or someone with a browser height of less than 800 visits the website.
Been looking at stage.resize and event.resize but can't figure them out. Also have looked at swfobject and swffit (not actionscript I know) and can resize my content to a specific size using swfobject but not dynamically.
I've just run through this tutorial and I've got my site centering in my browser as planned.However when I resize my browser window the text (I'm using a pixel font) is going fuzzy.Is there some way I can lock 'centerRectangle' to a rounded X and Y coordinate so that this doesn't happen?

I have a main flash container move that loads in multiple swf files. I created a movieclip container in the main flash container that resizes and positions according to the stage height and width as follows:
Code:
swf_width=stage.stageWidth;
swf_height=stage.stageHeight;
new_container_height=swf_height;
[Code].....
This works fine if no graphics are off the stage in the loaded swfs. Otherwise if I have a scrolling menu and the buttons out width the containing mc it takes into account the masked content width and centers the movieclip accordingly throwing alignment off.
Is there a way to ignore masked content when getting stage width and height?
I have finished my flash game, but when I used web Browser such as Chrome or FireFox to run it, it enlarged my game to full size of the browser. Is there anyway( in AS3 script) that I could prevent this from happening as well as hide the symbols that their sizes are bigger than my default size defined at the document property panel?
View 1 Replieshow it is possible to edit dynamic content and modify the content and save it, all within flash.I have tried some experiments in the past and have got the text to change etc which is easy but i need a way to save the content so the next time anybody sees the flash it will have the latest content until i change it again.
View 2 RepliesI have edited the pageflip script and file to suit what I need to do and my issue is not related to the usual addition of pages or content etc... but is to do with publishing the file. I have increased the sizes of the page from what they are in the original file and this is where the issue lies because when I come to publish the file as an exe the content no longer seems to fit the window when published and you have to expand the viewer. The instructions for quite a lot of the pageflip is there and pretty easy to decipher however outputting/publishing the file seems to be unclear.
Can somone please point me in the right direction for resizing the stage or changing the settings so that the published file shows all the content without the need to resize the window?
i'm making a flash movie that's going to load some text from a text file. i don't know how long each of the variables within the text file will be though, so i need to resize the text box that they are going to be displayed it. is there anyway that i can do this so that all of the text is displayed and not cut off by the text box being too small

View 2 RepliesI have a container with a vertical layout inside which I have two other child containers "A" and "B". n the first container "A" there is a component that I would like to resize dynamically based on the available display size. To to that I tried listening to the resize event of the main container and do my measures accordingly. That works somewhat until the parent container reaches a clipping size : container "B" gets clipped earlier than "A" because it contains much more stuffs : As soon as the parent container reaches "B"'s clipping size, it does not resize anymore (so no more resize event either) thus preventing me from updating my component's display in "A".
View 1 RepliesI have a flash file that is pulling images in dynamically from a PHP page.

View 1 RepliesOk, got a problem that's driving me up the wall. I have 3 objects: tab, tabShadow, (both movieClips) and menuText (a dynamic text field), all of which are themselves contained in a movieClip. What I'm trying to do is have tab & tabShadow resize based on how big the dynamic text field (menuText) is, and then align everything. The ultimate idea is to create a dynamic menu based on XML.
The problem though is that a) the textfield won't resize even if the amount of text fed it is too big, and b) because of (a), the movieClips won't resize based on the textfield. I also can't figure out a good way to align them (just making the ._x / ._y values equal puts the textfield way outside the other movieClips).
Here's the actionscript code, and I've attached a copy of the .fla (done is CS4, but saved in CS3 mode) just in case it's a matter of the centerpoint being off or something. This is all in the container movieClip.

I need to create a designer tool in Flash for laying out how kitchen worktops/countertops look. I found something similar to what I need:

If you scroll down the page you place a rooms dimensions onto the workspace, and resize it. If you notice, when you resize the shape moves and a measurement shows on each edge.
I am working on a site at the moment (product catalogue) for this company. I have a problem with the images i am using. It is taking too much time and effort to resize all the images in a photoediting programme. I was woundering would it be possible to automatically resize the images within my area. I have the images loading up within a layer mask. I was just wondering if it is possible to tell flash to set a true scale setting within the area mask. I have noticed while editing image size in photoediting programmes I do suffer from a fundamental problem. Even when I constrain the proportions within an image re-size flash dos tend to distort this a little.
PHP Code:
function setSubComboArray() { mySelectedItem = main_cb.getSelectedItem().data; title.text = main_cb.getSelectedItem().label; // trace(mySelectedItem+"/"+mySelectedItem+".jpg"); loadMovie(mySelectedItem+"/"+mySelectedItem+".jpg", "_picWin"); loadVariablesNum(mySelectedItem+"/"+mySelectedItem+".txt", 0);}
out with autoresizing dynamic img popups with javascript.

What I want to do is load an image dynamically into a movie clip either created physically inserting it onto the stage or using .createEmptyMovieclip(). After the image has been loaded I want to be able resize the movieclip with the image inside of it, or somehow get the .height and .width of the image or the movieclip with the image in it and then have it resize keeping its proper dimensions.
Ex: I have an image that is say, 800x600. I want to be able to load that image in dynamically into 2 seperate movieclips (one being a main display, and one a smaller thumbnail).

FYI: I'm following the Flash Blogger tutorials listed on [URL] with Flash 8. I've noticed that everything works wonderfully as far as bringing the blog content into the dynamic text field; however, my only problem at the moment is Blogger will automatically resize my images, so it doesn't mess up the current template in html, but of course, Flash does not (out of the box).
I need a way to define the width & height of the images in the text field to fit inside the dynamic text field they're in. As far as I can tell, the tutorials listed on that site use an alternate method and don't actually resize them. Lastly, I thought about using CSS to adjust the img size, but from what I gather there are very few items at my disposal.
I have a gallery that I built from a tutorial I found online--it has an empty mc with a border around it, and when you click on a thumbnail an image is loaded into the mc and it fades in when it loads in and out.Ofcourse it works fine offline, but when I test it online the image will load in off-center, if you click the thumbnail again (after it has loaded the first time) it loads in the position it should be in. Here is the code I have on the first frame:
spacing = 1;
containerMC._alpha = 0;
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic){

How do I manage to force dynamic textfield create with actionscript to act like a text created with textool
I was wondering if there is a way to auto resize the swf to fit a dynamic text field. I am doing a site and have text coming in from XML. some of the pages have a couple paragraphs where as some are much longer so when it is published the pages that have more text gets cut off.

View 4 RepliesI want to use the UI Text Scroll component on a text box. When I make the initial text box,it is the normal 1 line in depth, based on the font size. When I paste the type into the box it gets very long, which is fine, but when I try to make the text box smaller using the transform tool so that I can make it fit the movie, it makes the type smaller as well. Is there a way to change the height of the box, without it effecting the text inside?
View 2 RepliesI've embedded swf's countless times and haven't run into this wall before. The original swf dimensions were 900px x 550px. I need to fit the swf into an area that's only 560px wide. So I embed with the width and height of 560px x 342px. The problem is the swf seems to scale to a fraction of the actual stageWidth. I've run numerous tests, and the stageWidth/stageHeight are being read in properly before any of the assets are being created on the stage.
I know that the swf fill the entire 560x342 area because there's an asset that follows the users mouse and does so within those bounds. Another strange issue, is there's a right-click menu, that once clicked, creates a message that pops up and is centered to the stage, yet that centers itself to the area that's not being scaled properly. It's almost as if I'm dealing with 2 different stages.
I've attached an image that hopefully demonstrates my issue. The black area represents the supposed stage, where the gray represents the area the swf is taking up when embedded in the page. The stage align is set to TL, and I've switched between all the scale modes with no success.
