ActionScript 3.0 :: Stage Resizing On "Clicked" External SWFs?
Aug 13, 2010
This has been bugging me for almost a week now. I hope I may find some assistance here. I've Googled for this and everytime I encounter an article with the solution and people saying it worked great for them, I'm pretty sure I did exactly what was instructed but mine is just weird.I hope you can try to look at my files and see what's wrong, anyway this is just a simulation of my real project (which has the same problem) at a very small scale so it should be very easy to look at. I believe it's so easy to solve but I just couldn't nail it. Here's a brief description.
There's this main.swf that loads two external swfs in a UILoader upon click of the corresponding button. By the way, the code inside the external swfs listens for a stage resize... So, when user clicks on button 1 (named "LOAD 1"), it loads "content1.swf". User decides to resize the window, and layout resizes accordingly (in this case, they all center horizontally). User clicks on button 2 (named "LOAD 2"), it loads "content2.swf". Everything looks fine, apparently. But when user tries to resize the window again, an error pops up in the Output panel.

I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I loaded a swf from external. using loader class. But if i check with the width and height of the loader is differes from loader.contentLoaderInfo.width.
loader.width // 1250;
loader.height // 750;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.width // 750;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.height //420;
From this statement i came to know the loader gets the width of all hidden objects, which are already outside of the stage area. But now I need to increase the size of the stage contents only..

This code works. It puts my external image on the stage:
Code:
var pngurl:URLRequest=new URLRequest("image.png");
var pngloader:Loader=new Loader();
pngloader.load(pngurl);
this.addChild(pngloader);
This code works to, but not completely. It stores the same image inside of a movie clip that I've named "panel". However, the image is bigger than "panel":
Code:
var pngurl:URLRequest=new URLRequest("image.png");
var pngloader:Loader=new Loader();
pngloader.load(pngurl);
panel.addChild(pngloader); //panel is the name of my movieclip
I almost fixed my problem by changing my code. My image is smaller than "panel" now, but its width and height should be the same as "panel":
[Code] .....
(Original image size= 350width and 250height) (Panel size=100width and 100height)

My main swf is 960x600 and loads full screen. it is a projector or swf, local. I have the code on frame 1 to ensure full screen and show all:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Then I load an external swf into a mc, and it goes full screen as expected. BUT the main swf that loaded that external one, at the time of load, suddenly gets scaled back down to its normal size: 960x600, on the top left corner of the Player Window (or the full screen), so somehow at 0,0. Whn I unload the external swf, I can put the code stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; to get it back to where it was. But unfortunately I have some buttons from the Main swf that are supposed to be on top of the loaded one, and should stay where they are. But now they all move because of this scaling down.
the mc that is being used as a container for the loaded external swf is an empty mc located at 0,0. The external swf has the same size as the main one: 960x600
I searched and tried things but could not get it to stay in show-all mode when loading this external swf...

I'm working on a portfolio site that loads external images and swfs (using loadClip). Many of the swfs are banners that have stuff that's viewable off the stage...whoever developed them wasn't smart enough to mask it off, and I don't have the source files.
The first problem I have is the extra stuff is showing up when i load it. The second is that its messing up the width and height properties of the clip (which I need to use to resize a frame that fits around the loaded swf/image). Is there anyway to get the size that the swf document was actually set to with actionscript? That way I can set up a mask. Otherwise I think I'd have to manually create an fla with a mask and correct size for each existing swf that externally loads that swf. Unless anyone can think of a better solution?

The problem is this: I am loading 4 external SWFs into an empty MC on the main stage for each of the 4 projects.So you press a button on the main stage for a project, and it loads that specific SWF.These SWFs contain an opening text for each project, a button to "continue" to the gallery, then the text fades out and the gallery loads.That's all within the SWF itself.The SWFs work fine on their own, but the problem is that when I load the SWFs into the empty MC on the main stage, the "continue" button doesn't work correctly The SWFs load fine, it's just the button At first when I pressed the button it would send my main stage back to the first frame, so I thought it was because the AS for the button in the SWF was probably conflicting with the main stage and confusing it. I went back into the SWFs and tagged part of the SWF timeline with the name "togallery" so that when you click the "continue" button, in theory, Flash knows specifically where to go within the timeline of the SWF and not the timeline of the main stage.
That hasn't worked either. The button just doesn't work at all now, at least not when the SWF has been loaded onto the main stage. Again, it works fine on its own. So what can I do? How can I get a button within an external SWF to reference only it's own timeline and not that of the main stage?

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.

My client wants a silly intro page where, onClick, doors to a warehouse open into the warehouse itself (redirect into the website). I created a 1920 x 1174 SWF that does just so. It can be seen here. As you will notice, the backdrop of the warehouse and sky are included in the SWF. Just a minor question: is there a better way to do that? One thought was to crop the sky out of the SWF and make the animation smaller so it could be centered with CSS on the intro page. Then make the background-image the sky.
My big problem is the resizing. My (possibly ignorant) assumption is that if I make the SWF really large, it can be scaled down for different resolutions and the aspect ratio kept. I have tried both of the suggestions at www aleosoft com/flashtutorial_autofit.html and they wildly distort my SWF (which can be seen here). Is this because of my publishing settings?

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

I've got an SWF that'll be viewed via a webpage, that loads a choice of 7 different web pages/SWFs depending on buttons clicked.The problem is these files are quite big and take a good few seconds to load each, so for each SWF, I created a progress bar on frame 1, that then loads frame 2 (where all the code and content is) once it's ready. The code I used is as follows:[code]The problem is as you can see from is that it takes ages to load the loader! So I end up with a blankurl... screen then the loading bar, then the content. Making the loading screen pretty useless!

I have an app that has 3 movie clips, serving as buttons (mainbutton[0], mainbutton[1], etc) I use the addchild method to add these clips to the stage (the clip base element is in my library).I then create an empty movie clip:
var navGroup:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
I then add some movie clips to this clip: using a for loop:
for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
navGroup.addChild(mc[i]);
}
[code]....
When I click the button on the stage - the code with the for loop runs, and adds clips to the navGroup clip, and then to the main button. But the stage and the items on the stage shift down a few pixels. This happens on the first button I click. If I click some other button, the stage shifts up (with the items etc.), but if I click the last button, no shift occurs. If I go back to the first button I clicked, the stage will shift down!
I traced the coordinates for the stage and the buttons, but their numbers all stay the same, like x = 0, y = 0, etc.The items in my library all are movie clips, with a 0,0 reference point. The three main buttons are on the stage at x=16, and y = the height of the button plus 10 pixels for space between them, added to the first button's y pos on the stage. like button1, x=16, y=100 and the height is 32 pixels.

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I'm going nuts trying to figure this out. I built an animation project at 630 pixels wide. Turns out the project needs to be 430 pixels wide. In CS3, using the classic tweens, I would simply resize the stage, Onion All, then resize everything on the stage at once. But with the new tween structure, it looks like I can't do a mass resize like that. Anything that's been tweened using the motion editor does not resize.
I know I can just create a new movie clip, paste all frames into it and then resize the MC, but I have some JPEGs of signatures that pixellate when they are resized that way. So, can you onion skin the new tweens? Is there a workaround?

Specifically, I am building a flash page that loads external swf files and inside some of the external swf files, I would like to add audio and flash video (flv) streaming from the Flaash Media Server. In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf

I am new to Actionscript 3 and i am making a basic flash site using CS4 and AS3.I need to have an image as my background that resizes whenever the window/browser is resized and that works perfectly. I also need to import another SWF to the stage as this contains the main body of the site, this SWF needs to be centered at all times on the stage even on a resize.I have pasted some code below as what i have working at the moment is the SWF gets imported, the background does scale and resize etc but the movieclip won't center when first launched and i just can't figure it out.[code]

I have this code that works great to center a background image and even other MC's on the stage. However, I am looking to tweak this code slightly and I just can't figure out how.Instead of the button1MC being center, I need to define it's coordinates on the stage to line up at the bottom or even the left side or something...I'm creating a nav bar of MC's that need to have fixed coordinates on the stage and resize when the window is resized.Lastly I need to fix a .min for the stage so that the MC's on the stage stop repositioning when the stage/window get resized too small, like below 500x500 or something. know this is simple, but I can't figure out where to add the stage min parameters or even how to properly adjust the button1MC's
function init()
{
stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

In my Flash Application (AS3), I want to get the stage size and use that so my objects (which the user controls) can't go outside of the screen. However, when I use:stage.stageWidth;stage.stageHeight;The values I get aren't actually what I want. They give me the stage size, but if I resize the window, the numbers change as well. Now, in a html page, I don't think that will matter, because the user can't resize it... however, I'd like for it to be more solid than relying on the window size.stage.width;stage.height;However, those gave me "801" and "601", one greater than my actual stage size. Those values did not change when I resized the window, but they were one greater.

My AS2 flash file is loading in preferences from a .txt file. Is it possible to redefine the stage of the swf with this method? In other words, if someone wanted a swf with different dimensions is it possible to load those in via a txt file and resize dynamically instead of having to re-publish the swf with the new dimensions?

The problem is, it wasn't tested well, and the stage is too big - on low resolutions or on small screen you have to scroll in order to see the lower/upper sections.I know how to resize it with HTML, but I just want to know if there's a way to scale the entire stage and all of the contained items from within flash?

I'm currently trying to have a swf file to show up on an HTML page when the page initially loads. When the user clicks the close button (on the swf file), the swf disappears and the rest of the content on the HTML page shifts up. Similar idea to how CNN occassionally have their "breaking news" banner on their homepage. In order to do this, I thought of the idea of creating a 1x1 pixel main swf file containing a MovieClipLoader function to load the "content" onto the swf file.
As the user clicks on the close button, it will unload the external swf, returning back to the 1x1 main swf. However, how do I get the 1x1 main swf file to resize to the size of the external swf? and to do the reverse when the user clicks the close button? So far I have the MovieClipLoader function working, but not the resizing.
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.loadClip("test.swf", "container");

I have done resizing and liquid flash sites in AS2 before. I have recently started to learn AS3. I have a project where I need to scale an image proportionately when the user resizes the stage. This is what I have so far. I kinda just stole my AS2 code and tried changing it a bit.
