View 2 RepliesIs it possible to dynamically (not in the project's options) change the dimensions of the stage by using ActionScript 3? I'd want to create a 400x300px loader, but I also want it to load animations that have bigger or smaller dimensions. I would then change the width and height of the loader to make the loaded animations fit well. Is there any way to do that?

As part of my flash design, I want to have some tweening text. At the beginning of the tween, the height of the text needs to be distorted ('too tall'), and at the end of the tween, the text will have settled into its correct height. However, when I try to scale the text in the first keyframe of the tween, the font size changes along with the text field height. Normally, I could just make the text into an image, but this needs to be a dynamic text field. Is there no way to scale the height of the text field and distorting the text height without changing the font size?
View 1 RepliesThe movie clip is a scroller which I download a while back (I can't remember where from now) The contents of the scroller which i want to scroll is a seperate movie clip which loads it's contents from a .txt file. The problems I am having are:
1 - I cannot seem to change the height of the text box movie, I can change it in flash, but when i publish and play it just appears at a set size.
2 - the last link in the contents jumps like crazy when I hoover over it.
3 - when there is less content than the size of the text box I would like the scroller to disapear.
4 - If I add a mask around the text box, the contents disapear, i have in place a custom mask for the mean time but this will have to go.

I have a mc and inside of it I have 9 dynamic text. I want to be able to set its height dynamically so it will look like a table. And in addition, once the height is set the text inside of it will be vertically aligned to center. Is this possible? Here's the sample file.
View 7 Replies[URL]When you double click on the picture the photo descrpition box is the same and I'd like to make it dynamic. The movie clip that contains the text box is called "flashmo_pic_info" and the text box name is "photo_description". How can make it so that the text box is the size of whatever is in photo_description? Here is the AS so you don't have to download the template. I had to take out some of the variable declarations to make this fit.

im trying to find the height of a movie clip containing a dynamic text box loading an external text file. i need to determine the height of the movie clip outside of this function but whenever i try to do that i get the initial size of the movie clip and not the resized size after the external text has loaded. i have tried returning the height to this function but when i trace this value i simply get [type Function].[code]

i have a problem with my flash menu. It's simple menu that contains one MC at start that works as button, u can edit size of the menu from external .txt file by changing the value of menu length.

How do I set the height and width of the text?
Basically I have a textfield that will have a fixed width and wrap the text, which will be passed to it dynamically. Since the text will be dynamic,there's no guarantee of how many lines the text will take up.Directly underneath that textfield i have another text field that will also take dynamic text. Think of it as a title and a subtitle.so I'll have something like this:
Code:
var title:TextField = new TextField();
var subtitle:TextField = new TextField();
title.wordWrap = true;
[code]....
and probably others that I'm forgetting. Getting it to work with a single line of text isn't really a problem, but as soon as the text begins to wrap to multiple lines, everything i've tried seems to fall apart.
I would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on an A.S 2 document that loads chunks of text from an xml file and places them in different dynamic text boxes. The amount of text in each section differs but each one has to appear one after the other regardless of the size.At the minute I'm trying to position the second one beneath the first by making its y value 10 + the height of the first one. however the height that i keep getting is the original one and not the re-sized one.

Africadetails._y = (Africaname._y) + (Africaname._height) + (10);

I am using a scrollbar as demonstrated in OO scrollbar part 1 and have it working great, except that when you scroll the text, it seem to add a bunch of space at the end of the text field and then does not scroll back up to the top of the text field, but rather ends up in the middle.
Seems like it is somehow measuring the height of the text field at the wrong time? I would guess that it has the right height dimensions (due to the extra space at the bottom) but that it somehow is getting the wrong y coordinate. [code]...
I'm using a tweening engine and I need to be able to base the _yscale % of a movie clip off the height of a dynamic text field that is slightly smaller contained within the movie clip. 52 pixels smaller to be exact.I'm very poor at math but I'm guessing so far that some variable needs to be declared to factor the percentage based off the height of the dynamic text field. And I just can't think of how to do that.What I know so far:movie clip height at 100% _yscale = 396 the 'buffer' space above and below the dynamic field = 52.So if my dynamic text field height = 0, my movie clip would be 52 pixels in height. And that percentage in _yscale is 13.1%.I just can't figure out the math for this and how to translate it into ActionScript.
