I got a screen to display objects in a sprite that covers the stage. ok I got a screen to display objects in a sprite
q1) do I need to specify the sprite height/width to match the stage or is this implied with canvas1=new Sprite();addChild(canvas1);

I have a Flash CS4 Professional version installed in my machine. Here is my problem.
1st - I'm importing an image to stage and set the width and height to match the image. (everything is good, no problem) 2nd - I am using the FLVPlayback components build-in from Flash CS4. It does load the video and everything. (everything seems good) 3rd - Publish the video to my local drive (everything seems good) 4th - I could play the video from my local pc and it loads fine and fast 5th - Upload everthing from my local folder to the Web server, it does display the background image but not the video. It has a white blank screen. What is going on? I copy the exact folder from local to server. What have I missed? How could I make the video to load?
I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class ScrollBar extends Sprite {[code].....
I am trying to reference to top level (stage) width and height of the main stage for the placement of something located inside a movieclip on the stage.
My code is:
Code:
my_loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - my_loader.width)/2;
my_loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - my_loader.height)/2;
But this seems to just relate to the width/height of the mc that my_loader is nested in...
I have tried the following and had no luck:
stage.stage.stageWidth
root.stage.stageWidth
parent.stage.stageWidth
MovieClip(root).stage.stageWidth
For example, if I say:
ActionScript Code:
public class Chart extends Sprite {
public function Chart(myHeight:Number, myWidth:Number) {

When the Tween takes place though it not only changes the width, it changes the height as if it were scaling it up in both directions. Why does this behavior take place? And how can I get it so that only the width changes? I have also tried using scaleX as the property but it does the same thing.
In a previous thread I asked a question about setting the width and height of a sprite subclass in its constructor method. One of the responses has puzzled me since I read it:
"Setting width and height only makes sense if you're adjusting the width and height of existing content, and the Chart (Sprite) has none at that point."
I don't understand that; what if you're adding children to the sprite that depend on those dimensions?
Here's a simple app which draws a red circle inside of a blue box which demonstrates my confusion as well as one other issue. The full questions are at the bottom.
Main.fla:
import Box;
var myBox:Box = new Box(200, 200);addChild(myBox);myBox.drawCircle();
[Code].....
Question 2: In this example, the dimensions of Circle are based on the width of its parent Box sprite. Is there a more elegant way to pass the dimensions to the circle? I ask because in my actual project (a chart) the plot area contains a lot of screen locations that must be passed around when I add new objects such as grid lines and markers and passing around the coordinates as parameters seems awfully messy. I'm just not sure how else to do it.
Given this code:

Why does changing the width and height of uiComp not affect the Sprite? Wouldn't UIComponent provide Sprite with a Graphics object, which limits that area where Sprite can draw?
I'm working with a Sprite in AS3. Initially, width,height are 0,0 as expected.
After this:
var tf : TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial";
tf.size = 48;

I know this might seem like such an easy issue and I can't understand why I cant figure it out but none the less I can't and I've just about given up. Here's the issue:
I have a sprite container which is supposed to hold a bunch of thumbnails to videos. I am able to populate the container with all the videos and the whole works but obviously if I add a bunch of videos its going to exceed the size of the flash document so I need to add a UIScrollBar (which I did) now the scrollbars target is set to the container but isnt allowing me to scroll and if im correct this is because the container doesnt have a set height. So Im trying to set the height of this container but the second I try setting the height or even width all my thumbnails I used to be able to see are gone! It's as if the size is being set to 0 when its not I've even tried to set it to a specified size just to test and nothing.

View 1 RepliesI was wondering if any of you can spot the error in my code? I got a bunch of objects called 'jelly' that are gonna bounce around my screen but the problem I got is they don't bounce at all! they just run straight off. And yeah I'm very new to actionscript, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to change the position of a movieclip I've added to the stage. When I try to access stage.width or stage.height I get 0. I've tried MovieClip(root).stage, DisplayObject(root).stage, root.stage, stage, and simply width and height. All of these are equal to zero.

View 0 RepliesI have a parent swf that loads another swf (it's for a client). The parent swf 's stage dimensions don't match the child's. How can the child set the stage dimensions?
I've tried this after the child was loaded, but it's not working:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.stageWidth = 700;
stageHeight = 600;
trace(root.width);
trace(stage.width);
Both these return 100. Same for height. The stage has been set to 1024x620 in the editor.I'm using CS5, Flash version 10, windows7 64-bit.I don't get what's going wrong here. I'm trying to center something and it keeps coming out like this.
Is there a way to set the stage width and height using actionscript, the same way you might set it using the "size" button in the document properties panel?
View 9 RepliesI have 2 movieClips which I want to make the height and width of the stage. It's worked fine in the first instance (pun, wahey!) but when I add in the second (blackOver) it stops the buttons working and all sorts.
Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
bgmain.x = 0;[code]....
I understand how to resize the stage to 100% x 100%, but it seems exceptionally difficult trying to keep a footer MC/Sprite/Shape 20px high yet 100% wide.
I can use EXACT_FIT, but if the browser shrinks or expands the movie clip changes size. Keeping that height static is a pain at the moment!
So, basically I'm just looking for direction. The liquid layout tutorials seem to work for elements NOT stretched 100%...
Ha have a flash project for displaying pictures. These pictures are categorised. So you can have like 3 pictures on one category and then 50 for another. All goes ok. I can search pictures and display them with an opening deck of card effect.
Problem starts when users get tired of going picture by picture. So I thought that a grid displays would be perfect as another alternative way to display the full category. This way user would get both design and functionality running nice on the application. So I started coding the grid and calculated the amount of picture that I could fit into the width of stage regarding picture width (in this case they are always 300px*300px). But I didn't like the result. It forced me to think in a scroll. Again, user would never get that full grid display of all pictures in one category at once without having to navigate to see more or less. So I thought that calculating a way to reduce picture size would be nice in order to fit all pictures through stage width and height.
how can I change the height and width of stage dynamically. I tried it with the following code:
Stage.height = 250;
Stage.width = 250;
during the run time. Initially the Stage is at a height and width of 370 and 450 respectively. Also when I tried to trace the height and width of Stage after resizing the stage width and height, its showing the old value of width and height. That means the width and height not chnaging.
How to Change Stage properties(width,height,bitrate,color......etc) in dynamically...?
View 1 RepliesI have a small issue in ActionScript 2.0. I want to know the stage width and height for external SWF file. I used the following code:
var loader:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('loader', 1);var obj:Object = new Object();var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();mcl.loadClip("external.swf",loader);mcl.addListener(obj);
obj.onLoadInit = function(mc){ trace(mc._width); trace(mc._height);};
It's showing the whole animation's width and height but I want only stage width & height?
i have a website that has a illustrated panoramic landscape which slides alone when the user clicks different pages. but when reading the stageHeight and width values i get the width of these movieclips not the actual stage size being viewed on the screen.
so instead of getting the height 1000 and width 700 i get the height as 1800 and the width of 6000 how can get around this?
I want to set width and height of the stage during resize of that swf..I do it in resize event handling..but doesn't work..any other way to achieve this?[code]
