View 1 RepliesHow do I change the stage quality to improve rendering performance in Flash Player AIR? StageQuality doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? I'm using this in the Main() app class constructor:
stage.quality = StageQuality.LOW;
Is there no other way to improve performance in AIR apps?
For my movie, I plan to have 4 buttons, low, med, high, and auto. I want to specify the points in the movie where the quality should be lowered for slower computers (auto button). The beginning of the slow part would be MED quality and then after it's passed, I want to reset it back to BEST.

I'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.

View 2 RepliesI have a weird bug with some textfields when i change the flash quality. It seems that the size of the textfield and the font size are changed each time i change the quality. I've attached the pics

I'm working on some optimisation techniques to allow Flash for export my .swf in various file sizes.I need to export the same .swf in a high quality and a lower quality version; so I normally just alter the JPEG quality manually.But I was wondering if there is a method using AS3 that allows me to adjust the JPEG quality dynamically?

View 3 Repliesi have the ingame sprite and it needs to be in StageQuality.LOW due to some prerformance problems, and the hud needs to be in StageQuality.HIGH... but they are in the same stage. I tried changing quality before rendering the ingame (to a big bitmapdata) but changing this property every frame is too expensive.
View 2 RepliesCurrently one of our teams suffers from a very strange phenomena: after manipulating the z property of a MovieClip and changing the stage quality some event listeners of nested MovieClips seem to disappear (or at least not react to the proper events any longer).
The problem also only appears when doing both, changing the stage quality and manipulating the zproperty.
Here is a simple class demonstrating the issue:
package {
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.Graphics;

If I have a randomClips function that shows a range of swf files every 15seconds and wanted to create a button that could stop the auto change of the clips, what would be the script for that button if the script for the randomClips looks like this:
Code:
randomClips = new Array("d+l A_news.swf", "maashaven B_news.swf", "maashaven A_news.swf", "gipsy A_news.swf", "gipsy B_news.swf", "d+l B_news.swf", "gw A_news.swf", "gw B_news.swf", "soundscapes A_news.swf", "soundscapes B_news.swf", "fhwsf A_news.swf", "fhwsf B_news.swf");

In flex the width can be set to 100%,but in flash it seems I can only set the width/height in unit of px.
Is there a way to set the stage to 100% instead of xxx px in flash?
I'm using Flash Professional CS5 if that matters.
I know normally if I want to center a movie clip I would
mcName._x = Stage.width / 2; or * 0.5;
mcName._y = Stage.height /2; or * 0.5;
my problem is I'm using a component that changes the width and height, but the real problem is that the registration point of the component is the top left. I know I seen code somewhere that gets the width of the movieclip, figures out where the center is then positions it accordingly but I'm not quite sure how it's done.
I put a text area component on stage and set the vertical scrolling to Auto, so now when ever I have to much text the scroll bar pops up, but the problem is that I can't get the scroll bar to always be on the bottom, so when ever I add more text I always have to use my mouse and drag the scroll bar to view the latest info, is there a way that I can see the latest update without having to manually scroll down?
View 1 RepliesI've been working on a project that requires lots of scaling around a center point.
I always thought that stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight give you the dimensions of the stage you set in the properties panel no matter what. But when I went into fullscreen mode (with scaling), both the width and the height changed to the dimensions of the screen rather than staying the dimensions I specified.
I have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.

View 8 RepliesI'm making an interactive film. At certain points within the film, the viewer has the ability to select from a few options that will direct them to an external video clip (they are flashback scenes). The main story pauses when the user selects a flashback scene and I'm clear on how to achieve this.
However, my issue is that once the flashback scene ends and the external video closes, I'm not sure how the main story will resume. Is it possible for it to auto-play (resume) in some way? My last resort would be to have the viewer select a play button - this is only because I do not want a break in the narrative and want to limit the amount of clicks the viewer has to make.
Just a quick one. Using AS3, how would I ensure that a movieClip always stays in the centre of the stage on resize?
View 1 RepliesWhen publishing a project from Camtasia Studio 7, the params list includes a setting for quality. But instead of the usual "high" value, it sets it to "best". I Google'd and searched these forums but had no luck finding any definitive explanation if these two settings are equivalent. Can anybody enlighten? This topic also spurred another question, does the quality default to the highest value if the parameter value is invalid?
View 2 RepliesI have a shell SWF that contains two empty movie clips - one is the navStage and one is the contentStage. I am loading one SWF into the navStage and a default SWF into the contentStage.Now I'm trying to have a button in the navStage change the SWF loaded in the contentStage. I know in AS2 you could reference _root.[stage] to do this, but it seems to be trickier in AS3.[code]As you can see, I'm trying to unload the movie currently in the "contentStage" and load a new movie.I'm very new to this and am trying to convert an existing site from AS2 to AS3 that follows this basic principal.

I have a new question.How do I change the language of the stage with AS 2.0?I am attaching the sample image of what I did.
View 4 RepliesI want to read width and height from XML and then change the stage size based on these numbers in an EXE file of Flash. Imagine the main size of flash application is for example 1024 x786. I write a code which interact with user as touch screen and all startup data(like image file names and key coordination) come from an XML file. My problem is, for different PCs, I must set the size of application manually. Some touch screens have different ratios like 1280 * 400! The only way is set the stage size on startup the application butstage.staheWidthandstage.stageHeightdont change anything for me.
View 1 RepliesI have an html page that loads a swf that loads an AS 3 animation with 4 dozen 60k jpgs that rely on the tween class to move them across the screen.
I'd like to start the empty stage at 10px, and after the jpgs load, animate the height to 142px, pushing down the html underneath and run the parade.
Let me try to explain what I'm doing. I have multiple movieClips (mc_aitkin, mc_anoka, there will be a lot more) on the stage that I want to change their alpha using data from an xml when it loads. I can isolate the info I want and trace it so it shows in output, but I'm not sure how to use it from there.
I've tried to convert the xml data to a number and do an if/else as shown below, but the only output I get is "not" (from a trace). So I'm guessing the if/else isn't recognizing the xml data as a number?
If I can resolve that, the next step will be to apply this function to the large number of mc's I'll have on the stage. Would that be with something like e.currentTarget.alpha = .5; ?? I don't think I can put it in the same changeAlpha function because there the property of 'e' would be undefined.[code]...
I dont know how to change the backgroundcolor of the stage.
Shouldnt:
_root.backgroundColor = "0x00ff00";
..normally do the trick?
