I want to make a fluid layout for the website I'm working on right now. I know the basic concepts of how to center an object and keep it there, or how to stick a shape to the top or bottom... etc. But if there's a movieclip that I would like it to conserve its position proportionally as the visitor resizes the stage, how can I do that?

View 5 RepliesI'm basically a designer with no real programming background. I do understand some basic of AS2, but with AS3 I kinda have no clue. Anyway I got a problem that I have been trying to solve alone for quite some time and can't seem toI'm trying to write my own code based on the thing I have seen in both tutorials. I wrote the fluid layout part based on the first tutorial link, and the preloader part based on the code found in preloader.fla in the second tutorial link. So now I have 2 seperated swf file, which is website.swf and preloader.swThe thing is that once the preloader is done and the website.swf is shown, the fluid layout code inside website.swf doesn't seem to work. Both files has the fluid layout code, and the code works when u open the file seperately, but when it's linked together the code just fails.here's the code on the preloader.fla:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code].....
how to make the preloader works on the full screen website/ fluid layout. I add the Stage.resize on the code for FYI When I added this code to the bar, it expanded to full screen, but there's no loading bar. The text is also no progress.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do a full browser flash site in which i want some of it's elements to behave like footers. Meaning that, as i resize the browser window i want them to always appear at the far end of the stage. I'm using swfobject and swffit but the problem is that if i resize the browser to be larger than the original stage width and height, those elements disappear.
View 2 RepliesI have been given a site to update/improve, which uses many AS1 and AS2 elements, and my team likes a piece of AS3 I've found for a fluid layout which tweens the site container to the centre of the browser's window, and we want to keep it.But at the moment, I have to load the AS1 site into an AS3 container in order to make this work, and this means we lose the deep linking, and it's really cumbersome loading 1 thing into another which is loaded into another...
Sooo, I was hoping someone knows how to translate this AS3 code into AS1/2. Is this possible? Does AS1/2 have the appropriate tween/ease classes? Here's what the container page looks (please ignore the commented out sections).siteLoader is the MC i'm loading the main site's SWF into. AS1 would also make this much simpler with loadMovie command.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;[code].......
I am using the following code on individual movie clips to keep the object centered in a fluid layout:
onClipEvent(load){
this._x= (Stage.width)/2;
this._y= (Stage.height)/2;
Stage.addListener(this)
this.onResize=function(){
this._x= (Stage.width)/2;
this._y= (Stage.height)/2;
}}
My question is this: Can I add/modify to this code to make the MC scale proportionately up as I drag the browser window farther open? Right now it stays centered but it stays the same size.
I have found a great resource for a fluid flash layout but there is one glitch with the site in that when it loads the content is all pushed up into the top left hand corner, if you then click rescale the browser it then fills the screen correctly but not initially. Here is the site: [URL]. The as. file for reference is with the rest of the files at this download link.[URL]

View 2 RepliesI am making a flash website and I am implementing a fluid layout. In the website I made a drawing program that is supposed to move along with the rest of the elements of the website when the window is resized. Now the problem is not the drawing program itself, ive got that working very well, the problem is when the canvas movieClip onto which the painting is being done is moved when the window is resized, the movie clip does not stay on centre, and the drawing is displaced outside the canvas movieClip and no longer happens on the mouse X and Y.For the sake of simplicity I made a simplified version of the drawing program with the fluid layout code and drawing code. No point in going through 200 lines of code when the problem lies within 10 lines of code.[code]The pink box is the canvas the user is able to draw on. The grey box is used to test the fluid layout code and to give coordinates for the pink box. When the file first loads both the pink and grey boxes are side by side, during the resize event they should stay side by side, however they do not.
View 1 RepliesI'm building a photographer's gallery website and I need it to resize to fit in browser window. So far so easy...What I would really like to achieve is a maximum and minimum size that the gallery will go to.
So, if the images I am using are 1400x1000 (for example) when this size is reached by the user expanding the browser window i don't want the gallery to expand any more, just sit in the middle of the page.
Similarly I don't want the gallery to go below say 800x600... how to set a max/min?
I have a fluid layout and I have buttons and things on the top right. When the person resizes the window down, they all jump on top of each other. How would I get them to stop after they get to the point of overlapping each other? If you go here: [URL] And go to their main page. When you resize your browser down, the elements stop at a certain point and just get cut off. How do I achieve this effect? I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of using an enter_frame listener to detect the x and y coordinates of these elements, and when it hits a certain coordinate to remove the listener that moves these elements. Can someone point me in the right direction?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a site with fluid layout. I have three classes: Preloader, Main and Background.Preloader loads main.swf and has resize function where it can access Background like so:
Sprite(loader.content).getChildAt(0).y = stage.stageHeight -
Sprite(loader.content).getChildAt(0).height;
Main has an instance of Background.Background draws vertical lines. It uses fluid layout on its own. Works fine.Here is the catch: Background utilizes stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight,when tested with separate fla works like charm. However, when accessed thru Preloader throws this error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I think it is because use of stage but I don't know how to go about it.It also uses its own resize function.
So, what is the best way to put it all together? Where should I keep resize function? What I need to do with stage object in Background?
I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);
[code]...
But it seems futile.
I've set the publish settings to 100% width and 100% height and have then added the 'noScale' function into the first frame of my timeline. Here is an idea of what I'm trying to create:
I have three movieclips that are touching the left side of the Stage and want them to touch the left side of the browser but centre vertically. I can do this by adding the 'Stage.align = LC' command, but not sure if this is the right way to go about it.
The movieclip that is on top contains a logo and I want it to have a fixed size. I called the instance name 'logo_mc'.
The movieclip below 'logo_mc' is called 'container_mc' and is a strip of photographs that I need to run from the left to the right side of the browser no matter what the browser size. I need this movieclip to scale proportionally up and down as they viewer resizes their browser so the first photo is touching the left side of the browser and the last picture is touching the right side (without distorting).
The final movieclip is called 'buttons_mc' and is right below the 'container_mc' clip. This movieclip needs to remain a fixed size.
Obviously when the 'container_mc' clip resizes I need the other movieclips to move up and down to stay the same distance above and below the 'container_clip'.

I've been practicing my actionscript a bit lately, i'm especially interested in motion and AI types of AS.I've covered and experimented with stuff like gravity, screenwrapping, bouncing, easing and springing which is all very cool but all these types of motion move in a straight line.What i want to do is learn to create actionscripted motion that moves mc's around randomly in a fluid, organic manner like a living creature rather than in straight lines.I know this probably involves using sin/cos functions and trig so i experimented a bit with this, i produced some stuff that is no longer straight lined but it moves rather jittery. (i think this kind of stuff is called brownian motion)
View 3 RepliesI currently working on my first Full-screen flash website. My problem isn't how to make it 100% flash.. that was pretty easy. The problem is how I should be able to define where the footer is on the layout. Like have I done it now is that I just used: width="100%" height="904px" in the object. This have been working good.. then we are able to scroll down to the bottom of the website for users that have resolution < 1280x1024. However if a user with 2048x1538 enters the website it will look like this: [URL]
While in the swf it should just keep going down like this: [URL]
Tho the users with < 1280x1024 must be able to scroll down to where the city design starts.

this works fine and dandy, but its not so smooth...is there a way to transition between the zoom sizes to make a fluid motion or maybe with an easing effect.can this be done with actionscript or is this more of a shape tween thing?
I have spark.components.TileGroup that contains buttons. I would like the buttons to appear like tabs on top of the ViewStack they serve At the moment, if I have 6 items in the TileList it lays it out as 2 rows with 4 items in the top tow and 2 in the bottom, so the jaggy edge is at the bottom

i'm trying to dynamically layout a calendar using actionscript and i'm no good at determining algorithms to quickly and efficiently lay things out. i was hoping for a litwhat i want to do is set it up per the image attached:* where there are 7 columns and a varying number of rows.* the top row has the 2 arrows and the month and year display.* the second row has all the day headings, i.e. S, M, T, W, R, F, S* and the rest of the rows will have the dates.
View 3 RepliesI used the liquid Flash layout file from this site , but i got one problem.I placed the script in a layer called actionscript and on frame 1, under it there is a other layer called background. I placed in just a square with a gradient color and made it a movieclip. I also placed this on frame 1. Everything is working perfect from this point but when i want to place a keyframe on frame 10 in the background layer and make a motion tween so that the background fades in from 0 opacity to 100, it doesn't work.

View 1 RepliesI recently bought a flash template to use for my photography business. I really like it except the scroll behavior is absolutely terrible on monitors under 27 inches. It just goes straight to the bottom then snaps back up to the top, making it impossible to really view and click on the images in the bottom and center rows. The website is hereI emailed the company to ask them foron fixing this problem, but they've only said "We're investigating the problem" and its been nearly a week now. I would like to get it so the scroll is slower and is only activated at the edges of the window. I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to post at, I am just desperate to get the galleries to be easier to browse through before I start handing out business cards
