I 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 RepliesI'm trying to get an object to increase in size the lower it goes down the stage, and decrease in size the high it moves up the stage.
It only needs to increase or decrease by a small amount. Basically, it's for a game character. To ad realism to his movements, it would be nice to have this feature.
This is where i'm up to so far:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
I think I need something like:
if (object moves up)
decrease
else if (object moves down)
increase
I have following problem:
Code:
title_txt = new TextInput( );
title_txt.setSize( 100, 20 );
[code]....
I 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 RepliesIs there a way to have the full stroke size (height/width) fully included or excluded in the movieclip symbol?If I'm making a rectangle with size 100, adding dynamically lines of size 20 when certain criteria are reached in game. But I also want to have stroke of size 5-6, problem is that they half their size in included in the rectangle 100 of height, and half are outside.It makes it more tricky to make the formulas to take in consideration the 2.5 for the size and also the effect on x positionning etc. Much easier to just have to do the like of "x += 20" without the assle of calculating the half stroke height.So how to have those stroke included/excluded when converting to symbol?

View 2 Replieshow can I increase the size of flash CS4 interface? Meaning also to enlarge tools buttons, so they are easier to see. I have to strain my eyes, because all of the toolbars and text related to them are too small, for constant work.Is this possible? I know there is one way - to increase display DPI settings, but that would also increase the whole desktop, but I would like just to increase flash interface text size and if it is possible then also tool buttons.

View 3 RepliesHow do you increase the size of an entire movie into an actual swf file? I note that increasing the stage size increases the "frame" that the movie opens in, but does not increase the size of the movie itself. I find a lot of stuff on the internet about sizing a flash movie using html embedding, and perhaps that is what I need...but what I really mean is change the size of the whole movie before it is saved as an SWF and within Flash itself. Is there a simple way to do this? I mean, once you have the movie in place but have simply not saved it to SWF yet. Again, I note that cghanging "size" on document properties enlarges the frame that the movie opens in but not the movie itself.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make selectable thumbnail images for a touch screen app where the user can touch the thumbnail image and turn a CheckBox on or off to select/deselect it.
The thumbnail images measure 100x100 pixels, and I want the CheckBox to be in the upper right hand corner of each image. When I go to the Adobe AS3 help site, it says that it should be possible to increase the size of the CheckBox hit area in one of two ways:
1) Select the component on the Stage and use the Free Transform Tool or any of the Modify > Transform commands.
2) Use the setSize() method or applicable properties of the CheckBox class.
According to this same site, if you increase the size of the instance, you also increase the size of the hit area.
I've tried both of these, and none expand the hit area over the entire thumbnail. In fact, neither seems to increase the size of the hit area at all. In order to select a particular thumbnail, the user still has to hit the CheckBox.

View 2 RepliesAs the piece of music I use on the intro page to my site has become quite lengthy, I decided to stream it rather than imbed the file. I used (AS2):
var mySound:Sound= new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("melange.mp3" , true);
mySound.onLoad = function() {
mySound.start();
}
Which worked fine, the only problem being that after a certain amount of time (which varies depending on computer, bandwidth etc.) the tune will stop and then immediately start again from the top. After this, it will play back fine every time I load the page, until I empty the cache, turn off the computer, etc.
All this leads me to believe that I have a problem to do with buffering. Im thinking that if there was a line of code to override the default buffer size, I might be home free.
I have a small question about the size of images imported to flash.Recently I imported a series of png images to flash CS5 to be used in an animation, 92 images to be exact. Each image was 34Kb size. Before I imported the images, the FLA was 6kb, and after I imported them the FLA was 160 MB large. Now 33Kb * 92 isn't 160 MB, so why does this happen? Is there any way to decrease the image quality or something when importing, or do I have to do that manually when creating the images?
(I used photoshop, and the images have a transparent background if that makes a difference).
I have an animation that is contained within a movieclip. It is an animation of a car traveling round a globe. The car is set to a circular motion guide. I would like to use this as a preloader. What is the best way to get an animation to play in time proportionally as it is loading. i.e the animation finishes when the site loads. If this is not possible what other methods are there to create circular loaders as opposed to linear bars that increase in size.

View 3 RepliesI need to implement a functionality where a user adds some text into a text field. Next if a user clicks on a button, then the font size increase/decrease so as to accomodate entire text in the available area. That means if a user has added just hello world in 12 px font and text field size is say 400*200 and user clicks on the button, the font size increases such that the text is occupied in the complete text field. Similarly if lot of content is added at a font size of 16 or so then clicking on the button reduces the font size to make it fit into the available text field area.

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to prevent a movie clip from increasing width and height when its children go outside its initial bounds? The problem I'm having is that I'm adding moving objects to a movie clip which often go outside its bounds, and I'm also trying to apply a displacement map filter. However, since the bounds are constantly changing, choosing the correct mapPoint is giving me grief.
