ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Fixed Background Layout
Mar 3, 2012
I'm building my first Flash website in a 1280x800 px resolution, fixed top-centered layout. I have a 1920x1080 px bitmap set as my background. I did it in 1920x1080 px size, because I want the browser to display it (the background) acording to the user's monitor resolution. The main content though buttons, images, animations, etc - are fixed (1280x800 px centered). So, how do I do this? I've been searching the web, but I only find instructions for liquid layout layouts and such, and I don't want liquid, just the background to adapt to the target monitor size.I use Flash CS5.5 (11.5.0)

I have this problem with loading new movie on the same page with fixed background.Here is an example of what i want to do . I have two flash files main.swf and movie1.swf, and main.swf loads first when i open index page. On the button of this main.swf i have action
PHP Code:
loadMovieNum("movie1.swf", 0);
which should load new movie in the same window and everything works fine when i test SWF file but when i embed it in a HTM page with fixed background only first move main.swf loads fine as it should but when i click on the button in this main.swf to load new movie movie1.swf in the same page it will not load??? It starts to load and than just stops. I guess there could be something wrong with my CSS style but i have never been working with CSS as i am only beginner in web design. Could anyone help here please? Here is y CSS style.
PHP Code:
body {margin:0px; padding:0px; vertical-align:top; background:url(images/back.jpg) no-repeat top #2BA3F4;}

Is it possible to have a single jpg (1024x768) scale up & down with the browser window (no matter the aspect ratio, stretched to 100% browser width/height), while keeping the foreground content (most likely added via loadMovie) in a fixed scale and centered on the screen? An example can be seen on the Second Story home page.

i have an event that fires on roll-over in my thumbnail class. it sets the position of all my children within the thumbnail object class to be right aligned.i need to set up a statement that looks at the placement of the thumb on the stage (which is built in my main document class) and loads up my children to the left of the thumb.what's the best way to do this? i tried to do it by adding an if statement inside the constructor, but got nowhere...i also tried to do a switch statement, which, since i don't know how to do it right didn't work either.here's the relevant bit of code:
Code:
public function Thumbnail(thumb:String, title:String, date:String) {
// all my textformatting is in here...i cut it out for readability

I'm trying to create a simple splash page for a site that has a scalable background animation, with a fixed size content animation that will stay centred for different sized browser windows or if the window is resized.[code]In general am I on the right track to achieve something similar to the example I posted? Is there a better method to use?

i'm attempting to simply set the caret position at the start of the text flow when it is first displayed, without having to click and activate the text to see the blinking caret.
googling returns that the solution is to do this:
textFlow.interactionManager = new EditManager(new UndoManager());
textFlow.interactionManager.setSelection(0, 0);
however, setSelection() is not a valid function of the selection or edit managers.
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method setSelection through a reference with static type flashx.textLayout.edit:ISelectionManager.

I am trying to emulate an effect like this site uses...
[URL]
and I've basically poached their script, a jQuery initiated 100% width and height background that loads into a couple of holding containers.
The thing I would like to do differently is fix the background in place so the content can scroll over it. How can I, say, write the flash movie to the BODY background or something like that? I'm not a javascript wiz and am not sure how I might do this.

I am working on a new site with a liquid layout and I havent been able to find a way to keep the aspect ratio correct with the different sizes.
[Code]...
the image size im working with is 990x600 for a 1024 display.I would like the image to be centered and never to have empty area, so if it needs to it would strech past the sides.

I want to fade in the full browser background, however most of these tutorials I have seen have it loaded somehow with the BitmapData or another class, and when it is done this way, I cannot add any animation. Others, the background covers the whole browser, but it doesn't really resize, so most of it is just cropped out. Some, the positioning isn't always consistent for all resolutions. Some don't really explain how to position images in different parts of the Flash besides the direct center, top left, top right, etc. They will tell you how to get these spots, but not other spots.
Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
cover._x = Stage.width/2;
cover._y = Stage.height/2;
rock._x = Stage.width/2+265;
rock._y = Stage.height/2;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG() {
[Code] .....
The reason I chose to stick with this one is that is the positioning is perfect. Positioning looks the exact same in all resolutions and what not, so this is what I want. But as you can see, it uses a BitmapData class, so I don't know how to add any animation because the file isn't even on the stage. It's in the library and I get this effect by giving it an identifier. Also, the background doesn't resize. It fits the whole browser, but most of it is cropped about like I mentioned earlier. The video tutorial really didn't cover the best way to adjust size, so now that I have the perfect way to position my clips, I don't know how to resize them, so they still look good. I remember in another tutorial I was guessing random numbers such as:
example._height = Stage.height / 2.58430953;
I basically just plugged in random numbers until it looked closest to the way I wanted it to. The problem with this was that image quality was reduced.
The Background
- Must be able to add animation to the full browser background
- Background must be resized so that nothing is missing from the original image, not cropping to fill the whole browser, resizing to fill the whole browser.
Positioning (Not really a problem now but...)
- An easy way to position anything where ever you want.
- Consistent in all resolutions.
Scaling Clips
- A way to scale clips so they just fine in all resolutions so that an image with a width of 512 px that looks great in 1280x1024 doesn't end up taking half of someone screen's that uses a 1024 x 768 resolution.
- No loss of quality.

I used the liquid Flash layout file from this site , but i got one problem.I placed the script in a layer called actionscript and on frame 1, under it there is a other layer called background. I placed in just a square with a gradient color and made it a movieclip. I also placed this on frame 1. Everything is working perfect from this point but when i want to place a keyframe on frame 10 in the background layer and make a motion tween so that the background fades in from 0 opacity to 100, it doesn't work.
