I am trying to shrink the size of my .swf. I have done all I can think of off the top of my head, but it is still too big.
Is there a way to tell what the size of library objects are and/or a way to identify which parts of your .fla are adding to the size of your .swf.
I have Flash 8. I created a Flash movie a number of years ago, probably in an early version of Flash. I use it on my website. I want to redesign my site and make the movie smaller from the standpoint of making the canvas/stage size smaller. I don't mean just compressing the flash movie to a smaller swf. Is there some quick way to do this without having to recreate the movie and put in smaller elements?
View 3 RepliesI'm using the "loadMovie" method and according to the using flash manual.. it's supposed to import a swf and resize it to the size of the movieclip it's replacing... only here's the problem.. I cant get it to shrink the incoming swf to the size of the clip calling the method... it keeps importing the swf at full size..

View 3 RepliesTo size a rectangle I use the following actionscript:
Code:
function sizeRectangle() {
rectangle.onEnterFrame = function() {
with (rectangle) {[code]...
It all works fine.When a certain button is pressed it needs to size itself to zero again.This is easy to do by altering "w=(Stage.width);" to "w=0;". What happends is that it will shrink from right to left. But how do i code this when I want the rectangle to shrink from left to right?
I have a button that inserts an mc on the screen every time it is pushed. So say I push it 3 times, the 3rd mc will shrink to be like 1 pixel wide when I use a key press that is in another mc, and I don't have the key press shrinking it.

View 1 RepliesI have a grid of many 10x10 pixel squares separated only by a pixel line. When the user rolls over the sprite, it grows, animating to about 4 times its size--to around 40x40 pixels. The sprite stays large while the mouse is over the sprite, but if the user wants to rollover the neighboring sprite it is obscured by this sprite and its larger size.
Is it possible to shrink the size of the hit area so that even though the sprite grows in size the mouse can still access or trigger the neighboring sprites underneath--to the right, left, top, bottom? I thought about using Mouse_move, but wasn't sure if that would fire off too many events.
I read the following posts. However, my hitArea needs to be the same size or just slightly larger than the original 10x10 pixel sprite. I've had little success. [code]...

I've been trying to have all of the movieclips on stage grow bigger when the mouse rolls over them, then shrink back to normal size on roll out. I have that working, but it seems that my mouse detection is sometimes too sensitive.I say that because sometimes my movieclip will alternate rapidly between rollout and rollover, usually when I place my cursor near the edge of a movie clip.I've tried only adding the rollout event after the tween finishes, but by then the user could have moved their mouse off the movieclip, and no rollout event fires. I was wondering if anyone knows of another way to manage a rollover grow effect without the stutter.[code]

In the Spark DataGrid the default row height is about 22 px. I would like to set the default row height to 18 pixels and I can do this easily enough with the rowHeight property but what happens is when the rowHeight is set to anything less than 22 px the bottom area of the text in each row is cut off. It seems that the default grid itemrenderer or grid label has a min height set to it. Since I have multiple columns and want to have shorter rows but not have the bottom of the text cut off in each row how would I do this?

View 1 RepliesSo ive been asked to build a page for a real state company and the guy told me it should be similar to these [URL] Ive been trying a couple of weeks so far, but i dont seem to find a way to do somthing similar, i mean, i want to have the welcome screen as those two:
- the gradient background
- flash occupies whole screen no matter what size it is
- gradient expands sideways infinately
- no matter what height my explorer window is, gradient is always in the same position relative to top, and if i keep expanding downwards the background keeps last colour of the gradient.
- the brand logo looks as if it had top, left and right anchors, and it also limitates the minimum width of the explorer window
i though of addind a 3000 x 3000px square with the gradient and centering it, but i know there has to be a professional way of achieving that.
I am trying to build a flash that auto-adjust its size to the browser window size, while leaving the content of the flash itself top-centered in the screen.I have found this solution [URL].. on How to keep centered stuff in this exact case so i am pretty confident i will be able to adjust that script to do what i want.
Now my problem is that if i put my content inside the movie-clip (centerrectangle) with all the animation require, link and other stuff, the movieclip (center rectangle ) never have the exact same center, thus making the script go wild trying to always adjust the location to the variable size of the movie clip.

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading.

View 5 RepliesI would like to know how to make flash size (width and height) full size in the browser? the real size of flash is w:955px h:600px I tried to make w:100% and h:100%, it makes pictures pixelate.
View 6 RepliesI want to create a panel (or any other component) inside a component that has a 5 pixel border on all sides, but scales fully when the window is resized. I know I can set width to "100%" to make it resize, but that gives me no borders. If I put it to "95%",I have borders, but they scale annoyingly. Also, that only works for borders on the right or lower bounds, and not to the left or upper sides.Is there a convenient way to do this without having to write tons of resize-code (in which case I will not bother and just accept bad rescale behaviour, as it is for a private pet project).
EDIT: I know that I can just overwrite the display handling and set the positions manually every frame. I wondered if there is a cheap way to do it in the mxml-structure, along these lines:
<mx:Panel>
width="100%" height="100%"
</mx:Panel>
Coming from C++ and Java, I am intrigued by the option of setting something to "95%" and let the library work out the details, instead of having to write many lines of code, just so my text-area always keeps a 5 pixel distance from the border, but scales with window width.If there is no easier way to do it than figuring out pixel sizes by hand and setting the coordinates.
I have a list of fonts obtained via Font.enumerateFonts() and I want to display them all as 12 pixels tall. The problem is that I cannot simply set the point size because this can vary in actual pixel size for each font. So basically I want to determine what the correct point size is for a font in order to make it exactly 12 pixels tall. Because I'm doing this with a potentially large list I'm looking for an efficient method to do this.
