Im creating a button, with a background rect shape and a text label. Im trying to resize the background rect shape according to the text label.For example, if my text label says "work" the background rect shape will be smaller then if my text label says "employment".
View 1 RepliesI draw a rectangle within another rectangle like this (I use it as a mask):
CanvasBorder.graphics.beginFill(0xf0ff00,0.1);
CanvasBorder.graphics.drawRect(100,100,550, 300);
CanvasBorder.graphics.drawRect((stage.stageWidth/2-Canvas.width/2),(stage.stageHeight/2-Canvas.height/2),250, 150);
CanvasBorder.graphics.endFill();
effectively its a 550x300 box with a 250x150 cutout.
Within one of my functions I need to resize the INNER 'cut-out' box from 250x150 to 150x100 - but keep the OUTER box exactly the same.
Normally when I'd resize a normal rectangle I'd do this:
rectangle .width = 150;
rectangle .height = 100;
I've got a tricky one that's stumping me, could you take a quick look over it I draw a rectangle within another rectangle like this:
Code:
CanvasBorder.graphics.beginFill(0xf0ff00,0.1);
CanvasBorder.graphics.drawRect(100,100,550, 300);

In a Flex component that inherits from BorderContainer I'm overriding the updateDisplayList function to draw a rect:

View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text field being fed html formatted text from an external text file, and is set to autosize vertically (left), works no problem. I have an animated movie clip behind the text field for a background, so the text looks like it's inside a (animated) colored box. How do I make the background movie clip autosize (vertically) along with the text box above it?
View 2 RepliesIf you go to [URL] and check out the preloaders on the various pages, you'll see that when it reaches 100% many circles are randomly resized to eventually cover the whole preloader. I'm trying to do something similar to that effect using just Actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a site and I want a small swf slideshow background to be loaded into the main site SWF and be able to be resized to fill the browser. But as I bring in other swf files they are able to retain their size, not be resized in the browser. And I want the main site to stay in the center of the browser.

View 1 Repliesthis is my first post on this forum. I'm new to Flash and Actionscript. Please forgive me if this question is too dumb. I don't know how to use the ComponentEvent.RESIZE event. I want to use it to resize my textfield's background, whenever the textfield is resized (the textfield is resized automatically when the user changes the input text). I don't know if I'm asking the right question, I will try to explain it through the code:

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 browser.[url]...
it 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.[code]...
I'm looking to achieve the effect seen as these sites (a background photo that rescales while not losing image quality)...

I'm creating a flash projector file and need to scale background full-screen.The background is a gradient shape.I made it full screen and resized background so width and height is stage width and height but it still won't work.

I want to have a background image that resizes to the browser window (my other elements retaining their size) - but stays in scale. I have been using the code provided at gotoandlearn which tiles the image. Here is the code used there.
import flash.display.BitmapData;
GreyBar._xscale = Stage.width;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");

I have a problem with the resizing of the background. This is the code i use
bg_mc._x = 0;
bg_mc._y = 0;
bg_mc._width = Stage.width;
bg_mc._height = Stage.height;
How I can make this background to resize in full screen?

View 3 RepliesI am making a slideshow background which adjusts to the width of the browser. However, whenever I resize the browser, the background color is visible for a moment along the edges. How can I get rid of this. I know that it is possible. If you look at the following site, the images resize perfectly:

everything is working well with the exception of the background image/stage. Whenever I preview it in a browser, the site gets stuck in the upper left corner. I need it to automatically resize according the to viewers browser size. How do I do this? From what I've seen online, it involves possibly putting everything in a movieclip, which I can do, I just don't know how to proceed from there.
View 2 Repliesi've designed a website for someone who now wants it in flash - which is fine, but i stupidly bought an AS2 set of buttons and an AS3 image gallery.
My knowledge of flash barely skims past flash 4, so AS2 is prefered as i cannot work out how to give a button a command in AS3 let alone anything else.He wants the background to resize depending on the resolution, so i found this:[URL]..which oddly enough, regardless of how many times i try the tutorial, DOES NOT WORK, however the source file does, and for the sake of my sanity, that is enough.
I need to create a loader or movieclip, and load all the external swf's inside. I can do this with AS2, no problem.
there is a way to resize the background of a stage in order to fit screen resolution?
View 2 RepliesThe name of the background image movie clip symbol is bg_main. The problem here is img is aligning outside the browser window on extreme bottom-right hand side instead of centering.[URL]
Here's the code below:
//set stage for FBF
stage.align = "TL";
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

I'd like to create an animated background for my latest gig using Flash. My only issue (as of right now) is different browser sizes. I know a way to make a standard background resize (meaning no nasty scroll bars) using Javascript, but it's not working with the embedded movie.

Is there a way to break text through actionscript so that it becomes a shape? I know that I can hit CTRL+B two times to break apart text and convert it to a shape, but I need to do it through actionscript, so that a user can enter some text, and then I have some effects applied to it.
View 1 RepliesI want to make some buttons and use the buttons.fla library. The button is inserted and given an instance name. A second button is inserted (same kind) and given a new instance name. But when I am trying to change the label text in one of my buttons the text is changing on the other button as well. I believed they where separate instances?

View 2 RepliesI have an AS3 flash movie and each page is a new frame. On my pages are dynamic scrollable text boxes that I created with the text tool.

View 2 RepliesWhen I use <s:Rect> to create a rectangle, I use radiusX to get rounded corners. Problem is all are the same roundedness. Is there something similar to Rect that lets me control the radius for each corner separately? If not, what's the best way to create this from scratch? graphics library or what?
View 3 RepliesWhen you select text in a Text or Label or TextArea (or other) control in a Flex application, the selection is shown in white text on a black background. Always.
I have a request to change that — and it seems to be a simple enough thing to want — but I can't find a style (or property) anywhere that permits that. Any ideas out there about how to do this, or reasons why it definitively can't be done?
