ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Menu - Adjusted To The Individual Browser Size
Nov 17, 2010
I am a bit new at this, but I am creating a flash site in which I want to have it adjusted to the individual browser size. I already have placed an expanding background so that it will fit proportionaly to any site. Now I would like to have a menu which loads from top to bottom (from the very top, crossing to the bottom) but with a style of a fade effect.. not just a bar moving down.. but rather that it is being built while it comes down. For example the right side comes down but a bit after the left side and then the fill color.. and afterwards the text on it. And then have it so that when one clicks on one of the links.. the entire menu moves to the right border of the page so as to make space for the content. I am not sure if I expressed myself well. I am not looking for a complete lesson on how to do this.. but more or less what it would take in order for me to go step by step doing the reaserch and building it.

I have created a fla file in adobe flash cs3. This contains a mainstage with a menu (is a movieclip) and a background (actionscript gradient). I have set the movie to scale so that when it is viewed in a browser it will be adjusted to the size of that window.
My problem or what I want is the following :
- The menu and text of that menu must stay the same size, as created in the fla file, when a scale is done.
- The content of the movie(not the menu) must stay in proportion.
An example site that I found, that demonstrates what I want is [URL]. You can change the browser window size and the menu text size stays the same but the content goes in proportion of the window size.

THE QUESTION I tried to go thru' your instructions using Get URL and putting the java script but I think I'm not doing it correctly, it simply doesn'T adjust to its own size. You can see the stuff on my website [URL] to give you a better idea what I mean.
I have a main flash movie for the index page called inverse.swf, on that main movie it has Photo swf as a sub movie, if you click Photo button. hence it will lead to sub swf movie(photo.swf), if you click pix which says Ripple the separate browser in width 440 height 325 should show up, but instead it shows up in huge browser instead. Like you said on your site, I tried to use Get URL and put the script as [URL] but what I got confused about was if I needed to publish the Photo.swf, since that is the movie it has the button. I did publish the Photo.swf to html, and added your javascript, but when I tried to see it on the net nothing shows up. So what I did later on was instead putting

I have a flash site that I am building, but the transitions out-of and in-to each section is unique to that section. For example, going from 'home' to 'about' calls two different transition, which would be dependant on which section you are in and where you are going. How do I set it up so that it knows what section you are currently 'in', thereby calling that movieclip, then calls the second movieclip depending on which new menu section you selected. My guess is that it has something to do with setting variables and maybe listener events .. but I'm not an AS pro!

I am trying to build a flash that auto-adjust its size to the browser window size, while leaving the content of the flash itself top-centered in the screen.I have found this solution [URL].. on How to keep centered stuff in this exact case so i am pretty confident i will be able to adjust that script to do what i want.
Now my problem is that if i put my content inside the movie-clip (centerrectangle) with all the animation require, link and other stuff, the movieclip (center rectangle ) never have the exact same center, thus making the script go wild trying to always adjust the location to the variable size of the movie clip.

I'm trying to print a movieclip from flash. I'm using the PrintJob pageWidth and pageHeight properties to scale the clip to be as large as possible. Also, I'm trying to center the movieclip on the page.Now, in the standalone player, this works. In a browser however, the margins appear to be zero:[code]But when printing, the margins are there, and mess up the page layout (not centered + cropping).

I've gotten as far as getting a listbox with a list of articles to display the articles in a dynamic text box, only i can only get it to work if i use one huge external text file that contains all the articles. what i want is to have each item on the list open up its own external text file, i.e. for each item on the list, there exists a separate text file. I'm about ready to put my fist through the monitor, and that would suck because this is a really nice monitor

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. All that works fine , my problem is that every new duplicated mc contains dynamic text area as a label. Labels are also loaded from that .txt file , but that works only for the 1st mc because the newly created text areas in mc's dont have Instance Name set. How can i assign them from as?

Can I get the obtain the size of the browser window in AS3?The best method I've found is to get the size with Javascript and send it to Flash as a FlashVar. One limitation of this method is that it doesn't give the current size if the window is resized.Is there a pure Flash way to do this?

For a project I need to import a game (3 SWF into one html). After I published my SWF's, I inserted the first SWF file into an HTML in dreamweaver (index.swf). When I preview in the browser everything looks perfect, but when I click on the button that takes me to the next SWF file (game1.swf) the next SWF file changes in size, it looks a lot bigger than it is (original size is 650x450). Is the problem the publish settings on flash?
