ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Resizing Slideshow With Ken Burns?
Oct 3, 2009
does anyone here know a free or commercial slideshow component for AS3 (must work with flex 3) which does the following:
cross-fading,ken burns zooming and panning with per image definition (eg. with xml file)scale-to-fill resizing of images dynamically resizable frame size (so it can be used as a browser background)It should work like on the following site [URL]My client wants this, but programming it from scratch will take rather long

I've modded an early version of the infamous resizing slideshow script to pull sound clips from the XML file, and automatically advance to the next photo after the sound clip finishes.
But if you just let the slideshow run by itself, it doesn't perform the resizing border trick right. It gets hung on the size of the first picture, and from then on, it's always one picture behind (unless you press the next or previous buttons at any point, in which case it corrects itself).
You can see my problem for yourself.
You can download a zip file that includes the FLA.
I'm pasting what I think is the relevant code below.
Code:
// Show the first slide and intialize variables
function startSlideShow(success) {
if (success == true) {

We've only successfully got this flash slideshow to resize correctly up until it goes to the #2 slide. I've looked all over the net, including this forum, many other have similar problem with resizing and scaling their movie clip to the full browser with correct aspect ratio, but most of them all involve a single video MC only. In my case, it's a bit more complicated which involves several pictures, masks, along with a pre-loader. Here's the FLA file. [URL]. Basically in a nutshell i am trying to make a website with an animated flash background that will scale to the user browser size according to the increase and decrease in browser width. exactly like you would see here on samsung's website [URL]. We know that it has something to do with the resize listener code. but we just can't overcome this glitch.

I have a Label inside a VBox.
My VBox has a width of 100% so when the widow is resized the VBox scales to the size of the window.
I want the Label inside the VBox to scale relevant to the size of the VBox containing it, so for example if the VBox is scaled to a very small size and even height of "0" the label will not be visible.
is there anyway I can do this in ActionScript?
I have tried so far to add a resize listener to the vbox performing math calculations on the label height and font size, which worked to a certain degree, however was jerky and the performance was v-slow when the calculation was performed on many VBox containing Labels simultaneously.

I have a problem on resizing dynamically loaded swf in to a flash movie. The senario is
1) swf files are uploaded by users and the path of the swfs(flash banners) are taken in to the flash via flasvars.
2)so swf uploaded for each user is displayed in a loop
The problem is user may upload swf with different sizes.So I want to re size them to main movie size(ie 500*70) So what i tried to do is using MovieClipLoader and fix the size in onLoadInit function.But it gives really different sizes
than expected.
I cant understand why flash behave like this.
1)Can i resize the extaernal swf by using above method?or
2)what is the approach to re size dynamically loaded swf s?

I am building a flash site for my own photography business and the site is designed in such a way that it will scale from 1200x720 down, but never up. So on the biggest monitor, the biggest this should get is 1200x720.
I am having an issue where after you resize the page down smaller than the biggest, i the main container of the content "mainStage" is too small, and even after maximizing the window, it is still stuck on a small size.
-- if you refresh the page with the window at ANY size, it works PERFECTLY.
-- if you resize the browser without refreshing the page, you will reproduce my issue.
I have uploaded the page here to be seen. [URL]
-- Here is the source for this. [URL]
i really want to get this resizing dynamically to work before i work on the rest of the page.

I'm testing this idea of mine, but so far I've not been awarded succes.so, here's what's my idea about:I want to load a big background-picture into my Flash, and then I want it to be resized so it fits the screen-resolution that the user has on his/her browserit loads perfectly, and - from what I can see - keeps it's dimensions.but it does not resize to the size of the browser as it should....if you go to the link, and then manually resize the browser-window, you'll get the resizing of the background-picture going on, though.here's how it's all build:I have a test100.fla with a test100.as Document Class

import CustomBackgroundTest;

I've tried a few ways but nothing seems to work. What I'd like to do is have my users post video's with the given embed code (example):
<object id="cnbcplayer" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="380" codebase="[URL]">
<param name="type" value="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
[Code] .....
But then, I want to resize it to be 300px wide. I've tried updating the attributes with jQuery but that didn't work.

I've got a client who's asking about resizing dynamically loaded images in flash. basically i'm building him a button that displays dyn. text and loads a .png based on a variable (easy). I'm going to tell him that actionscript/flash really has no means of resizing a loaded image and that you need some type of server-side script to do all of that.

I have a weird problem with Safari 5.0 and Flash player 10.1. When I resize the flash html object via ExternalInterface and JavaScript flash will jump down the page a little bit for a fraction of a second. Here is an example: [URL]. This may not be a flash question at all. It may be a CSS or JavaScript problem. It seems to only be a problem with Safari 5 and Flash 10.1.
You can view the source of the html page. Here is the code inside the sample FLA:

one.buttonMode = true;
two.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, twoClick);
two.buttonMode = true;
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStage);

I wonder if any of you can point me in the right direction. In my stage I have a movieclip where I want to load several images with different sizes. This mc called "container" adds the loader to the stage so I'm asking for the loader width and height once has finished loading and then passing these to the width and height of the mc container so it resizes accordingly. But...it doesn't work. Here is my code:

I have a Flash/Flex object (Flashlight-VNC), which I would like to dynamically resize to fit the entire window after pressing a button in the Flex app. This would preferably happen without restarting the Flex app (and therefore the VNC session). I would just use the built-in Flash fullscreen mode, however Adobe's somewhat silly security restrictions prevent keyboard input while in fullscreen mode.
How exactly can I do this? I'm already using SWFObject to embed the SWF, if that helps. I am open to any solution utilizing ActionScript, JavaScript, or both, however I am not all too familiar with ActionScript or Flex, and the AS-based solutions I have found involve extending a "Sprite" object to add resize functionality, which Flashlight-VNC does not seem to use.

I've been charged with the crusade of making a prettydifficult (to me) slideshow. This is what the client wants:1. externally loaded images2. externally loaded text (comments for each image)3. the timeline of the slideshow to be dictated by the numberof externally loaded images.Now, ive made tons of slideshows with 1. and 2. before, butthe request for 3. totally screws me up. I usually have a setamount of images that will be used, and accordingly, set up thetimeline using empty movie clips that use the loadMovie command todynamically grab images from a specified folder. They fade tweenover each other and everyone is happy. However, if I were to make amovie with item 3's parameters, I can't define a predeterminedtimeline. Im sure this can be done with actionscript but I am 100%c

now a customer wants me to make a Flash intro in her (ASP MVC) site. The scenario is this: images are stored in the dbms. Every image belongs to a category. Depending on what category is selected, the corresponding images should be fetched and played in a flash player with "transition" effects (hope i used the correct words).How can a slideshow (swf) be created dynamically?

I wanted to create a slideshow in Flash MX 2004 using the instructions given in the Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash tutorial on this site but I wondered if someone could tell me if I would be making the right decision using this technique considering the following: My slideshow will be used for a menswear clothing company, so the images will need to be on the left and then on the right would be all the information relating to that image/item of clothing - no problem so far but...
I've already set up a slideshow the "long way" with 20 or so images as well as their related information on different frames - the images are on one layer and the descriptions are on a separate layer also. I've got a couple of buttons controlling the navigation back and forth between the frames and I've also got a preloader on frame one to load everything beforehand. The problem is that I'm worried about people on slow connections, that they'll have to wait an unreasonable amount of time before all the images are downloaded, so I thought that using the dynamic method outlined on this website would be useful and save downloading time, but I wondered if it was possible to keep all the information relating to the images on separate frames and just have the images import dynamically? The reason for this is that the information to the right of the images is quite long with information given about style numbers, sizes, descriptions and even colour square graphics are inserted to display available colours etc, so I'm thinking that it's probably not practical to dynamically load this information but to keep them on their separate frames as I have them at present, and also all this information is on top of a simple graphic interface on which I'd like to keep the info vertically centred. So is there a way to have the images load dynamically, and if so how would I get them to load correctly onto the right frames that match their relevant information? Can someone tell me if it's possible to use the information in the abovementioned tutorial to do what I want? Or can you tell me if I'm choosing the right method - I mean considering all the information including colour squares that will appear to the right of the images, do you think it's impractical to choose the Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash method? Also I'm not even sure if loading the images dynamically will improve things - I mean the images still have to be downloaded right - will loading them dynamically just mean that they'll load one at a time as the user navigates through the slideshow and if so won't this cause delays for the user in that they'll have to wait for each image to download before they can proceed forward to the next item?

I made a movie with 3 slide shows on Level_0. Those slideshows are .swf files that are loaded into blank movie clips on the stage. Each .swf that is loaded into the file is a dynamically loaded .jpg slide show. Everything is working great, except that I want the 3 slide shows to pause when the user presses a button.

I am not simply trying to contain things and have the container resize without the contents resizing. I would just use a simple MovieClip for that.. My main focus is on the use of BitmapFill. I'm trying to make a repeating background image for a container; thus far I'm able to draw my BitmapFill sprite to the size I want. (Which is the stage's height) but when the stage is resized, I want to re-size my container but have my containers BitmapFill crop or add more as the window is resized bigger or smaller. Allow me to illustrate what I mean:
I've got a simple rectangle sprite that fills with a bitmap from the library and a simple resize handler function that detects when the window has been resized.what I would like to do is have my rectangle resize to the height of the stage.stageHeight maintaining its bitmap fill, but not resizing the bitmap fill or any children within the sprite.
From what I've read, this is a little tricky because the sprite resizes in relation to what it contains.. or.. something like that.. I really don't know any more.. I saw one example where a person extended the sprite class but I don't know why or how..
in my library there is an image called 'pattern' and my code looks like this:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler, false, 0, true);

I'm loading a few pngs/jpgs externally so they can be swapped out occasionally, and the issue I'm running into is when they are shrunk they become fairly choppy. Is there a way to have flash re-render them, or do something to smooth the resizing as opposed to going in and resizing every file manually myself?

1. How to solve the problem of preloader2. Is it possible to integrate everything in a movie clip (including AS). I mean no AS on main time line but inside the movie clip. It would be much easier then to to create multiple slideshows by duplicating mc and changing the xml file.
