I'm doing a website for me, with flash... I want that the site is "full browser screen" but, I need that only the background is stretched for the size of the browser window, all the other elements (like nav bar, logo etc) will be in the same position, and MUST NOT be stretchet like the background...
How can I lock the position and dimension of the element of the website, but let the background stretch?
my stage is set at 500x400 in flash cs4. I created a rectangle for the background and set the same size as my stage that covers the whole stage but I noticed when I hit ctrl+enter to test the movie clip, it initially looks fine but when I expand the window large, you can see white area all around.
View 3 RepliesImagine a stage. Imagine a series of images (smaller than the stage and spread out evenly) that have been loaded into a bunch of "swfContainer" movieClips via the Loader Class. Is it possible to make one of these "swfContainer" movieClips go FullScreen and nothing else (i.e. not the entire stage, just the _mc that one of these images sits in)?

View 1 RepliesI am writing a program where the user can, in the simplest terms, drag and drop things on to the stage. I need the user to be able to save what they have done and when they come back choose to reload their previous project. My plan was to write all the information(object class, x and y values etc) to an xml file and when the user chooses to load a particular project, rebuild the stage with all objects in their correct locations. My problem is, how do you add an xml element with all of its attributes and child elements dynamically for each object added to the stage?I'm relatively new to XML, but I figured this would work:
ActionScript Code:
var test:XML = <test/>;
test.title = "Test XML";
for (var i=0; i<platform.numChildren; i++) {
[code]....
in a for loop as well. But, these give me a warning that says "adding an element with more than one item is not supported" or something like that.
I'm creating a website within which I would like to achieve a menu system at the bottom of the page with a white band behind similar to this site:
[URL]
I have created the menu buttons and band but I can't figure out how to maintain their relationship with the edges of the browser window if it is rezised at any point during a user's visit (same as the site above).
I have been setting the position of the buttons and all other elements using, for example :
myBtn.y = stage.stageHeight - 100;myBtn.x = stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth + 50;
For publishing I use noscale, 100x100 percent, top-left justification.
I have two boxes on the stage. These two boxes together are converted to graphic. Each of the box - lets called "A" consist of some kind of surrounding (the line around the box for which we set up[ stroke) which I will cal "B". And inside that box theres another box of different color - I will call it "C", with different surrounding - call it "D".
(It is inside the first one).The other box from that graphic looks the same, but has different names. "E","F","G",and"H" respectively. All of the elements "A","B","C",and "D" forms a button. I have some code to use it.(with event listeners) My question: If I would like to change the colour of the element "B" (which are a movie clip), how will I code it.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.Timer;
var urlLoad:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
[Code] .....
And it tells me: Access of undefined property B...
The code works fine for whole button(A). A changes color, but I would like only the surrounding to change the color. I guess I have to put some path in there, but I am not really sure how to.
Here is the problem I have: after I change the index of one movieclip using this code
oldIndex=getChildIndex(DisplayObject(e.target));
setChildIndex(DisplayObject(e.target), numChildren - 1);
when I give the object its old index
setChildIndex(DisplayObject(e.target), oldIndex);
and go to another frame of the movie, this element I have changed the index of stays on top of all elements on the new frame. My question is am I doing something wrong and if not, what can I do so that this element stays only in the frame it is placed.
I'm working on a full browser flash site and it works great, its got a 1000x650 movie in the middle centred in the html and the background colour of the movie fills the rest of the stage, no margins, no mess!
Thing is, I need a black overlay to fade in (to put other content over the top) Thing is, the black box only resizes to the size of the stage not the full browser window! Heres the code at the moment:
// Stops the stage from scaling with the browser window.

it's possible to change the default key (space bar key) to execute the action of the focused element in the stage?If you ever worked with the Focus Manager you've possibly seen that when you press the space bar the focused item is "executed".Can you disable that "executor" or can you change the space key with the enter key?
View 2 RepliesI know that there is no such function as getElementByName in Flex but I also now that you can do this["object_id"] to get the element of the application u're in.What about getting an element inside another element?I've tried making element["id"] ? But in my try-catch it always runs the "catch" part..how do I get an element inside another element just having it's id in dynamically created string form?
View 2 RepliesI have flash where there is a link for song download. And, at the bottom of the flash I've a count, loaded thorugh flash vars which should increment everytime donload button is hit. Please let me know what approach should i take to do that. can i call a Java method on donload button which will insert a row in the table and and then get the count and render it to the count variable in my flash?
May be this extremely confusing. Here is a very similar example on how it is done. This is actually very similar to what i want to do. [URL] on this link there is count below which increments you hit the download button.
I've built a rather robust tooltip class recently that attaches and draws a single tooltip sprite to the root, then uses MOUSE_OVER to detect when it is over a tooltippable object, and shows the appropriate tooltip text. At the moment, I'm ensuring that any elements in my application which wants to take advantage of showing tooltips implement the ITooltippable interface, and expose a public getter, get tooltip().
[Code]...
Basically I have 14 text boxes, each box draws its content from an external txt file. Next to each text box is a button. I want the button to be either visible=true or visible=false depending on weather or not the text box has content or is "undefined" Here is what I have so far, and it's not working:[code] I would like a FOR loop to just run through the variables and check to see if any of them are undefined. if it is, then make the correct send button invisible.

View 3 RepliesI'm wondering if there is an effective way to insure a .swf file uploaded to "Website A" will refuse to run on any website outside of "Website A". I recall years back that AS2 could compare the .swf file's URL location to a URL String, something like:

if (_root._url != "http://www.mywebsite.com/content.swf") {

I'm using a preloader on my website. The preloader works fine on Internet Explorer, however when I tested it in Mozilla and on a Mac (running Netscape) there is a lockup on the preloader. The screen will just sit there and the website doesn't load. Both were running Flash Player 6 which is the version I'm aiming for. I found that if I refreshed the page the site would begin to work, but I doubt visitors to my site would do this and I don't want it to be required to get my site to work.
Heres the action script - from the first frame of my launch movie
Code:
stop();
function loadSWF(theURL, theTarget) {
loadMovie(theURL, theTarget);
loaderInterval = setInterval(loadChecker, 50);
}
[code]....
As you can see I call the loadSWF function to load menu.swf into the holder1_mc movieclip. That function then sets an interval with the loadChecker function that acts as the preloader. This is where nothing happens on some browsers (yet it works fine in IE).
I've created a slider control (using the excellent tute on kirupa) and am using two instances of it on my stage. I also have a lock that sets the variable locked to true or false.

I would like to create geo locking module which would react per-file/stream. This means that one particular file which will be streamed via FMS can be geolocked to one country (e.g. Lost can be viewed only by USA viewers (IPs)).Flash video player connects with nc.connect() and plays file with ns.play() method. Geolocking would happend on ns.play() since some files/live streams are locked to some countries (not everything is geolocked and once they are, are not geolocked to same countries so everything happend on per file basis).
Can this module be done in Actionscript or is it necessary to use C++ module?
I have a flash gallery which works fine, the images for the gallery are determined by .xml files. Problem is when the image is not exactly the same size as the area defined in the .fla it defaults against the top and left, not the center of the space.
View 5 RepliesLike shared objects we have lock, but what If I want to implement lock on the particular script. For example at onConnect of any user to FMS,I have script which is doing 8-9 different tasks before or after accept the user for that FMS application session (including remoting calls).Now if 20 users came at the same time in the same room, how will FMS execute them and process the 8-9 task, which user will be executed first and who would be next.In short, how FMS will execute the piece of code or process for multiple user at the same timeSo locking system can fix this problem I think.
View 5 RepliesI created a swf animation in Flash.The size is 1024x768.When playing the SWF file, if I change the size of the window, it doesn't keep the artwork size.As result when increasing or decreading window size, it shows what it is outside the 1024x768 and I don't want.Ex. The footer line that goes from left border to right border is now foating in the middle, not touching the border anymore.Is there a way to freeze it. So when I increasing or decreading window size, I see the artwork size only?
