[URL]. I just created this piece which is two clips embedded in another. I used UILoader to embed each video, and I have scaling = true. Why is it that when I tab back and forth, the maps look slightly different every time? Shouldn't they scale exactly the same way every instance?
View 9 RepliesI have been trying to work out how the full-browser background was done here: [URL] It scales in a very elegant way: it never stretches the image, stays centered on the image and never causes ugly blank areas around the image. For me, it's become deceptively difficult to achieve! :-(
View 1 RepliesI've got an animation with an embedded flv video in a graphic on my main timeline. The embedded video has been scaled down as I enlarge to its full original size later on in the animation. I've been racking my brain and looking all over the place for a possible solution but is there a way to switch smoothing to true for an embedded video? I've tried the old smoothing = true for the embedded video instance but it has no effect. Annoyingly the video is smoothed out nicely on the stage but when I create a swf the smoothing switches off.I don't want to separate the flv from the main fla for numerous reasons .
View 1 RepliesI have my Flash file embedded using swfObject and I want the Flash file to scale with the size of user's resolutions and browser windows. If I view my Flash file in the stand alone viewer it will scale properly, but not when it is embedded in the html page. I don't want it to fill the whole browser window, but stay proportional to the space it is centered on the page.
View 3 RepliesI'm loading an external SWF file, which become a MovieClip, using Loader(). That part is working fine. I then need to scale the MovieClip to match the stage, so that when I set the width and height of the movie doing the loading in SWFobject, the MovieClip will scale too.
For example, the SWF being loaded may be 320x240, but we decide later that we want it to be 640x480 on the page. We can just change the width and height in the javascript call to SWFobject, and it should scale everything. To top it off, I'll need an AS2 version too because we might need to load AS2 SWFs.

Is it possible to have a movieclip in FlashCS4 that can be scaled by the user once the file has been posted on the web? Scaled by dragging the corner of a loader or something?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently using the Tween-class to tween my movieclips (just the basics as x-position, etc.). But I'm struggling to tween scaleX and scaleY as the tween does not seem to take care of the centerpoint of the movieclip. I want the movieclip to scale proportional and not just from left to right.
View 3 Replieshow do I code stage resize with scaling movieclips? I can do stage resize and position/scale movieclips relative to stage size..but i don't how to have a scalable movieclip retain its scale relative to stage size. how do I code this? for example, i have a movieclip originally 50px wide, and the stage 100px wide..when i click the mc, it scales up to 80px wide. and when I resize the stage to 50px,(50% of stage size) i want the mc to scale to 40px too(50% of mc size).. and when I click it again to restore to it's original size, i want it to scale to 25px(50% of original size). then finally when i scale the stage back to 100px, the mc again is 50px wide.
View 2 RepliesI have been hacking together two different tutorials to create a menu with changing images, and some animating text. Everything looks great, except the menuitems, which i try to resize dynamically depending on the menuitem-movieclip-contained dynamictext. When i resize this movieclip, the whole movieclip scales, and everything looks odd.
this is my first flash project on my own, so be nice :-)
fla file can be found at: [URL]
Click on a thumbnail and the corresponding image is preloaded BEFORE scaling and moving smoothly from the thumbnail position to a target position. (the thumbnail is actually the container for the loaded image, and therefore also moves to the target) I have got everything to work, except that the thumbnail moves whilst the image is still loading. This problem defeats the purpose of the gallery, and I'm starting to get blurry vision now!
I hope I have made everything clear, but since this is quite difficult to explain, I have attached the fla and images. *You will need to simulate download in flash for the current preloader to work. P.s. much of the script was (heavily) adapted from an fla I found somewhere, in which the images are arranged into a circle.
how to proportionally scale multiple movieClips relative to the stage size.
I understand movieclip placement relative to the stage, and I have been using a code to scale MovieClips as a fullscreen background (also proportionally)
But
I can not figure out for the life of me how to scale other movieclips in relation
to the stage size.
for example I have a background_mc that proportionally scales with the stage
to fill without distortion.
HOW do I then place another MC say center aligned (I know how to do that) that will scale with the background without distortion?
Ideally I would like to place several MC's on my stage all scaling in proportion with the stage yet independently.
I have not been able to find any documentation on this. lots of tutorials on backgrounds and color fills and the like but nothing on proportional scaling of independent mc's
this is the code I use for my background_mc (can it be modified or should it be thrown out the window to achieve independent scaling?)
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

I am loading some thumbnails (jpgs) into some movieclips using loadmovie. Easy enough. I want to scale the movieclip to increase the size of the thumbnail on rollover. The problem is when I use loadmovie and load the external JPG it sets the the JPGs default registration point to (0,0) and when I scale the thumbnail it scales from the top left corner. I would like it to scale from the center. This is the code I am using:
onClipEvent (load) {
var thumb = "thumbtest.jpg";
loadMovie(thumb, thumb_loader);
thumb_loader._yscale = 70;
thumb_loader._xscale = 70;
} on (rollOver) {
thumb_loader._yscale = 100;
thumb_loader._xscale = 100;
} on (rollOut) {
thumb_loader._yscale = 70;
thumb_loader._xscale = 70;
}
Is there anyway to change the registration point so it scales from the center and not the top left?

in flash AS1,2 you just input this code Stage.scaleMode="noScale";

You will notice now 2 of the menu's side by side. What I am trying to apply is actionscript that will tell menu1 to go down - when you mouse over menu2
1) What is the problem? Is there a better way to do this smoothly?
2) Right now I use a cool inertia effect based on when someone mouseover's the button, it goes to the frame with the effect. Thus making it pop-up.
Is there a better way to do this? Is there actionscript that exists that just adds the inertia effect or easing effect on mouseover and on mouseout it goes back?

I've only played around with a dressup and dating sim - and coding using actionscript (and coding in general, only done a little bit of VB and Python before). I've been following a nice arcade side-scroller tutorial on this site which has three parts, if you want to view and go over them to help. It was designed for Flash 5 and I'm using Flash 8 Pro.[code]Anyway, as I was going through and coding/drawing the whole thing I came across a lot of problems and glitches (and a lot of times when the game coding would crash and I'd have to abort it and remake the entire coding again). I sort of stumbled around blindly, deleting and editing code to get things to work, and I'm up to the point where I'm almost finished with the thing. It's still glitchy though.I was wondering if any Flash coders could help me out?I'm going to be creating a Flash game for my programming class and I would prefer if it wasn't screwy (if I need to remake it with less cutesy graphics). xD;; If you could download the .Fla file and fix the coding problems I have.
Playable SWF game on my deviantart account.FLA downloadable file (@ Mediafire; no viruses, trojans, blahblah attached)The enemies tend to randomly explode before the missile has even hit them.The original enemy movie clip doesn't even want to explode.The score counter won't tick for each kill.The boundary box (?) of the player/enemy seems to be too big. You die before you should - in certain positions the enemy gets close and I guess the boundary boxes hit, which initiates the hitTest. It seems premature though, I'm wondering if I can reduce the boundary box, or have it so the enemy and player collide on the actual graphic, and not the movie clip box? I have no idea if this makes sense, I hope it does.There seems to be a bunch of other small glitches too.
I know how to do this in other codes, but..if (condition1=true) AND (condition2=true) then... How do you do this in AS?

I though about firing the xml loading code off a timer after one second, but that seems messy.

However, all of the actions on the movieclip (stop(), gotoAndPlay(), dispatchEvent())... simply do not work.
You can try it yourself, it just won't work.
Anyone able to fix this problem? I really hope it's a matter of checking/unchecking certain boxes on export.
I have a big problem with font embedding and I can not debug it myself. I' ve done a simple list of attached movieclips with textfields inside them, with embedded fonts. I have no problem with flash player 9 in order to see the list, but in flash player 10 I can't see it. The font is very common, Arial actually so you can test it very easily. I am using a font symbol in the library, a class and an xml file for my data. Also you can see it online in (if you have flash player 10 you can't see a thing)

I'm starting to learn actionscript 3 programming and am in the process of trying to create a simple game but am having trouble getting flash to call up various movieclip states.I have a movieclip called "Player" and inside that movieclip, I have Player_Stand,Player_Hit, and Player_Walk...
While I can get the master movieclip to move, I can't get it to play the embedded movieclips when I change states. I tried a more advanced method that did work where you stick all of the animations in one movieclip and then manually tell flash to advance each frame using gotoAndStop in a loop, but it would be easier to just have seperate movieclips that I could just call from a master movieclip file. I've tried various methods to solve this including having all of the movieclips on screen and then changing their visibility but that didn't work either.

I've search through all the threads with "scaling" and "resizing" and can't find the solution.
Basically I have a GUI element on a gallery that I don't want to scale, while the rest of the page is free to resize/scale.
I think I need to add a listener of some sort to the stage, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?
i have a diagonal movieclip that I am trying to scale along with the background video. The background video scales perfect, I am attaching the diagonal movieclip (br in the code as bottomright) with addChild
Instead of scaling with the window, it seems to repeat such as the image is displaying. this is the main section of the code that is doing the scaling
var br:mc_bottomright = new mc_bottomright();
addChild(br);
//proportional scale
