I need to double my stage size, as well as all of the objects on the stage. Is there an easy way to do this? stage.stageHeight, stage.height, etc do not work.
View 3 RepliesI am using SWFOBJECT to embed my flash content. I have been worried about stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight returning 0 in Firefox/Internet Explorer; this problem is referred to in question #21 on the SWFOBJECT FAQ [URL]..I have been told that this problem is particularly prevelant on Macs. The SWFOBJECT FAQ (question 21) indirectly suggests that this problem does not occur with static publishing. Is this correct? Is it still advisable to implement a solution to this stageWidth/stageHeight problem, even if you are using static publishing?
View 1 RepliesI've been working on a project that requires lots of scaling around a center point.
I always thought that stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight give you the dimensions of the stage you set in the properties panel no matter what. But when I went into fullscreen mode (with scaling), both the width and the height changed to the dimensions of the screen rather than staying the dimensions I specified.
In my AS3 code all the elements on the page are dynamically positioned depending on the current width and height of the SWF - providing it's not under a certain value, then the items are back in their original position.
When debugging in the Flash player the size all reports correctly however when run from a web browser it does not - initially.
This is my HTML & PHP code for the entire page:
HTML Code:
<?php
function hashId($fn) {
$hash=md5_file($fn);
[Code].....
But I cannot get the size to report correctly without, say, clicking a button.
It seems to me like I need to force flash to re-draw the screen, but I had no luck trying to do that.
can you tell me a simple and clean way to pass the dimension of the stage to another class, imported in my documentclass?
View 2 RepliesI have two problems. 1) the page still will not resize properly until the window is resized. I assume I have the code wrong somehow.
2) I changed the height of my menu object to stage.stageHeight, but its now coming up squished and only about 30% of the actual height of the stage. I am not sure what I did as it seemed to be working before, but I cant seem to fix it.
Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, stageresizeListener);

I'm having issue regarding the display when using Firefox 3.5 on MAC, I can see my menu and the display is correct. The menu just position above what it supposed to be positioned. It works fine with Safari on MACOSX.My flash size is: 1440x750It looks like Firefox can't recognize stage.StageWidth and stage.StageHeight. It returns 0.Some suggest implementing was to pass in the actual width and height of movie via FlashVars. The movie uses these instead of stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeightDoes anyone have an example of code of how to fix that issue??
public function Main()
{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, handleOnStage, false, 0, true);

I've seen this in several of my projects, when testing the stage.stageHeight is 100 less than what I've set the property to. I looked around and found at thread from 2004 (AS2) that talks about it, and found one in 2009 (AS3)With this in mind, I almost always have this:
ActionScript Code:
var SW:int = stage.stageWidth;
var SH:int = stage.stageHeight;

how to make my package use stage.stageHeight so I can tell a ball to bounce when it reaches the bottom of the stage. I'm calling my ball to the stage from the library in a way I'm not used to and have never done so I'm assuming it has got to do with that. if you take a moment to look at it (pretty simple i've stripped out everything except for the physics that makes a ball drop and bounce) and let me know why I cant detect the stage.

Working on personal full flash site and I can't really figure out how to make MC's position on Stage aligned on Firefox browser. Everything goes fine using Safari.
I have tried a method of set a timer every time it goes off (every 200 ms or so) it checks to see if stage.stageWidth > 0. If that is the case, do stop the timer and start resize on stage. However it's still not working on Firefox of MAC. :(
In my HTML code:
<link href="css/site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script type="text/javascript">
var swf = new SWFObject("main.swf", "mymovie", "100%", "100%", "10", "#000000");
swf.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");

Anyone else has experienced weird behaviors and unexpected values when checking for stage.stageHeight while you have Bandwith Profiler open in Flash IDE?
I have been using this for testing Perlin Noise stuff:
[Code]...
As you see here, the swf is set to a height of 400 When executed with test movie, control-enter, the trace returns 400 .. now, if you try this with the Bandwidth Profiler open, it would return 300, and the Sprite would only extend to 300 height.
I 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?

Is it possible to get the stage height/width on something that isn't added to the stage?
View 1 RepliesRight now my stage dimensions are 980 X 800 px. I need to cut or "crop out" the bottom portion of the footer because its height is too long. So I changed the stage dimensions to 980 X 600 px (and changed the corresponding dimensions in the embed tag in the index.html file to match). Doing this seems to cut out the bottom but at the same time adds space to the top and seems to distort the overall spacing. Is there a simple way to crop out the bottom of the stage (just like cropping out a section of a photo)?
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to get the browser height via flash and set the stage height to that value? I know you can set the height to 100% in publish settings, however one of my scroller scripts needs the stage height to be exactly the height of the content area of the browser.
View 5 RepliesI 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
I'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 1 RepliesWhy do you use height for Stage, but _height for the others? ( the same as width and others )
View 3 RepliesI have an html page that loads a swf that loads an AS 3 animation with 4 dozen 60k jpgs that rely on the tween class to move them across the screen.
I'd like to start the empty stage at 10px, and after the jpgs load, animate the height to 142px, pushing down the html underneath and run the parade.
I'm creating a tabbed UI and using this tut for the nav of it (but with only 3 tabs):
[URL]
..when one of the tabs is clicked..it will show the appropriate content below when it jumps to that frame. However, each tabs associated content varies in height. Is there a way for me to dynamically scale the height of the stage according to which tab is clicked?
I 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;
I have a completed Flash, but I need to change the stage height. Is there anyway to do this with out have to touch every cell. I have a ball that moves across the the stage, and I don't want to redo the whole thing. I've tried selecting all and moving the items, but it doesn't work.
View 6 Repliestrace(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 a problem getting my flash to resize when changing the size of the browser window. It behaves perfectly from the beginning but when i resize the window to less then the minimum movie height to get a scroll (620 px) the Stage.height never changes to bigger than 620 px if I enlarger the window. It seams as if the flash don�t get information that the browser window changes...
This is my code in flash:
var movieWidth = 1000;
var movieHeight = 620;

how to change the height of the stage dynamically, with ActionScript. Is there a way to change the height of the stage with a pixel value? I don't want to scale down the whole movie just make the stage bigger, just like when you change it manually in Modify-Document.
View 9 Repliesis it possible to dynamically change the height of the stage?I am using 'dimensions: pixels', and 'noscale' as publish settings. What I would like to do is, when the height of a movieclip gets bigger (because of its dynamically loaded content), to make the 'stage.height' bigger too, so you can scroll more downwards.
I know stage.height is read-only, but it would be nice to have just the right amount of space at the bottom of the page, depending on how high the movieclips are. Reading back, I wonder if i state my question clear, hopefully I use the right terminology.so if stage.height would work i would like to do something like:
Code:
stage.height= MC._y+ MC._height +30;
I have:
- a flash movie with 300x20px dimensions
- a dynamic textfield
- xml data parsed into the textfield
Now I'm trying to scale the height of the movie/stage to the height of the textfield after the xmldata was parsed in. I've tried
stage._height = textField._height.
I'm trying to position an MC to the bottom ( that's the simple part ) of the stage that has an initial height and width of let us say 10px height and 30px width. Ok, and now i want to scale ( stretch ) and tween the MC at the same time until it gets to Stage.height. I'm not really sure about how to do this one, i tried using some conditions, some whiles but it seems that flash kinda crashes so that's not cool.
i want the whole MC to keep on resizing ( stretching and tweening again ) on stage resize... how to tween and scale the MC at the same time ( by tweening i mean just like like a motion tween but the only problem here is that the height would be dynamic ).
I have an AS2 document that's 590x300. When I do a trace on Stage.height it returns 200. I changed the document to 590x301 and the trance returns 201.
