View 1 RepliesIm looking to make the flash file dynamic so that when someone changes the window size the flash file expands with it and some of the items contained move also.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a website that requires full flash. Within the file structure of a main swf there are other swfs being loaded into it (ie different pages). I need to be able to scroll the content of these swfs in the browser window.So say that the main swf is 800 x 600px and I load the initial page which is 800 x 500 px. This obviously doesn't need to be scrolled when viewed in the internet broswer. However, when the user clicks to go to another page it might load a page of 800 x 1300 px which is larger than the first and so needs to be scrolled in the internet browser. The main swf in which these pages are loaded into is only 800 x 600 (and even if the HTML dimensions - when put on a webpage - are set to 100%, the swf being loaded into the main swf doesn't have an impact on the size of the main swf, of which the browser goes by for scrolling.
I could of course just set the size of the main swf to the height of the largest page and have the browser scroll a whole lot of nothing when a smaller page is loaded, but aesthetically its not too great. And since I don't want the entire page to reload when a user clicks to go to another page I've got a problem on my handsI was thinking of using a script that would dynamically change the html object properties (height value) to the height of the page the user has clicked to go to.
i know.... this is probably one of the most ridiculous questions, and is probably RIGHT in front of my face, or should be self explanitory, but since i'm new at this and i could really care less if someone calls me an idiot, i'm going to ask...how do you resize your flash file to fit a small/GIANT animation etc?
View 6 RepliesI have a flash file that a customer has sent me that needs changing. (It is a flash website header with links to the site pages and a logo above. I have deleted the logo above) One of the problems is the size. I would like to half the size of the document as there is a lot of white space in the top half where I am going to add a static logo to a webpage (with these flash site links below). When I open Flash CS4 and click Modify > Document..., I can change the height dimensions but the white background changes but the whole of the flash movie is now under the document.
How can I change the possition of either the rest of the document or the background of the document to fit under my movie so that the whole document displays as a flash movie at the correct size? Another problem that I am having is changing the links in the template to the page names that I am using on the site. I don't seem to be able to even find the buttons to make the changes. What ever I do to view them I can't 'see' them when scrolling the time line but when I export or preview the movie all the elements are there.
I have following problem:
Code:
title_txt = new TextInput( );
title_txt.setSize( 100, 20 );
[code]....
I've created a flash movie using 640x480 document size.In the published SWF file, the size looked fine when the window was maximized, but I've just published an HTML format, and all the the frame was really small and tucked in the top left corner of the browser.I've tried typing a "100%" value in the Height field of the HTML file, but this just centered the animation, it didn't scale it.
Is there any way to fix this problem? Do I have to go back to the FLA file and edit all the symbols and raw data, keyframe-by-keyframe?
1. Create a new Flash document of size 450—300.
2. Create two dynamic text fields on the left side of the stage. Type some text into them as I have done. Give them instance names of titleText and contentText.
3. Create a new empty movie clip (Insert -> New Symbol). Give it a name Image holder and hit OK.
4. Drag the image holder from the library to the stage. Position it right after the title text field (refer to screenshot). Give the image holder an instance name of imageHolder
5. Now we need to create the images that show up on the right side of each page. Feel free to use your own, or use the ones that I have. Remember the location where you save these images! You will need the path when we define the image sources in the XML document.

I have seen many websites having full browser window, I have tried doing that with a plain color, it worked with horizontal but didn't worked on the vertical manner. What size should I keep for the flash document so that it is fitted in the browser sizes.
View 1 RepliesI have three images and I want change the images size based on the scene size (default size is 1024x768). After each image has completely loaded I call bindableUtils.setter to set width/height when scene size changes but I don't know how to make a pointer or something like that. I'm using a public var img, but it only works with the last complete image.
Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

I'm working on a slideshow where I'm calling in photos from an xml file. How do I tell AS to resize the stage according to photo dimensions? Would I need to list the dimensions in the xml file? If so, how would I pull that into the fla file with AS?
View 6 RepliesI have a MovieClip that is just a 100x100 circle with a stroke but no fill. When I change this to 200x200 using as3 the stroke size doubles. How can I increase the diameter of the circle without changing the stroke size?
View 7 RepliesWithin my flash file, some of the layers/objects go off of the sides of the document as I want them to. When I play the file within the test movie function within flash, the file plays fine and none of the layers that extend of the document cause problems(the samething happens when I play it in flash player). But when I open the file in a web broswer the layers that extended off the edges of the document show up. Is there anyway to get rid of this without having to redo the whole file? (ie, crop around the main document size, or set it to export only everything within the document and nothing that extends off of it?)
View 1 RepliesThe site is created and I tested it on all resolutions but some are complaining some text is too small to read easily. Is there a way to change the size of the entire flash website without having to go in and change individual font sizes and resizing all the graphics?
View 3 RepliesWhilst I did some flash YEARS ago, I am now needing to get back into it. And whilst I have a course booked, I need to do something now. I have downloaded a flash file with a mask from an image website. I want to double the size of the file, but the masking now only highlights part of the image.
View 6 RepliesI am new to Flash and was trying to start a website for my photography business. I have an up and running version of Flash Pro CS4 with all updates. I purchased a full flash template from [URL] hoping to just open the .fla file and go to work editing. No such luck. When I click on the main.fla file, all the components seem to load in the library, however in the timeline, I only show like 9 random layers. When I run the timeline, all I get is a bunch of lines, squares, etc running on and off the stage. When I click "publish" the layers and components run fine with all the default content. The template came in a ZIP file and after extracting, I get the usual files, .fla, .html, .XML, .SWA, etc. All the components seem to be in the .fla file. What am I missing? I know there should be more layers in the timeline, but I cant find them. My troubleshooting has been to confirm that the template is good with CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. I've tried different settings to include changing the pixel size, but nothing.

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to set the size of the fla or swf document via actionscript? The stage size and the document size seem to be two different things. What I what to do is get the users monitor size then adjust my document size to match than and arrange my layout to fill the aspect ratio of their screen. Then use the stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; to fill the window.

Does anyone know a way to dinamically modify a flash document's size at runtime?I have a drop down of which the item can have any number of pixels in height so it might be taller than the flash document. In this case i would need to resize the flash document and also resize the it in html so it won't be cut off.
View 4 RepliesHow can I change the size of the document dynamically? The document has a fixed size and when I use the Movieclip(root).width/height I change the size of the movieclip but not of the document. How can I access the width/height of the document?
View 3 RepliesIs there a way wherein I can enlarge the document property size and force the contents to align to the center? I'm new, so I probably started backwards. I made my file with animation just how I wanted it, then realized it would look better if I put a frame around it. But, when I enlarge the document properties to accommodate the frame, all content, including associated animations, are top flush left. I need them middle center.

View 8 RepliesIs it possible to change the size of the document (or stage) from an AS file?[code]...
but evidently it is not "Document" - or if it is, there is another include I need to use.
If the size of the Document object in a Flash application is not set explicitly, how is its size determined?
View 5 RepliesWith AS1/2 there was no way(that I know of) to determine the document size at runtime. You had to hard code in some vars. Although Stage.width and Stage.height would be the same as the document size when scaleMode is not 'noScale', if scaleMode is indeed 'noScale' then Stage.height and Stage.width represent the SWF size. This behavior appears the same in AS3, but I was wondering if there's any additions that make it possible?
View 3 RepliesActionScript Code:
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("crossball.swf", container);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
trace(container._width);
trace(container._height);
}
This always traces the width/height of the content of the external crossball.swf file, not its stage dimensions. So let's say crossball.swf has a document size of 200 by 200 pixels and in it is a shape of 115 by 30 it will trace the last as the width/height of 'container'. Is there any way to get the stage dimensions of an externally loaded swf through moviecliploader?
If Im going to create a full screen flash website what size should my stage document be?
View 1 RepliesI used flash 8 to make a dropdown menu for my webpage.
This menu is an horizontal bar which expands everytime you rollover one of its buttons.
My problem is, when i import it to my webpage (in dreamweaver) i get a huge square with the menu and the background (white colored) which represents my hole document.
Is there anyway to fit the menu size so that instead of a huge square I get only a small bar, but the vertical panels still show up when rolled over?
