Is it possible to have a movieclip in FlashCS4 that can be scaled by the user once the file has been posted on the web? Scaled by dragging the corner of a loader or something?

I don't understand why within my function, initially the status of stage.scaleMode via a trace() is NO_SCALE, then it becomes SHOW_ALL. The code below is found at three different location in my overall code.
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; backgroundPositioning(myStage.stageWidth, myStage.stageHeight); stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
wrote the code for motion straight into the action panel of the bubble symbol and simply duplicated the symbol alot to add more bubbles. What I wanted to do is change all that code into global functions that can simply be called by each movie clip thereby cleaning it up alot and making it more modifyable. The problem is that I can't figure out how to write and call the functions properly. Here is what I have:
Layers:
Actions: where the functions are defined
Bubble: contains symbols (clip calling the functions)

I am trying to load external swf's into my main swf through nested movieclips.Its like this: STAGE > contents_mc > loader_mc Also most of the code is from tutorial's out on the net.Content_mc I have the following MC's in content_mc (on 2 separate layers, if you want to know):
- Preloader_text (PText)
- loader_mc (LoaderExt)
[code]...
Problem: I am having a problem in calling the function ClipLoader and loading a clip through the loader_mc MovieClip (the text in Purple). The reason I am using this is eventually I will put in code in contents_mc to load various external swf per conditions i give.
I'm creating a product page for a client. The flash portion of it is generated dynamically using an xml document. The issue I'm having is with the features portion of the programming. During the generation of each page a list of features is brought in. Those features all have an associated hotspot that is displayed on the product image. What's supposed to happen is when someone rolls over the feature list item, the list item is highlighted, a description box is displayed and the hotspot glows. Vice versa, when someone rolls over the hotspot the hotspot glows, the list item is highlighted and a description box is displayed.
My issue comes with the communication between the two. Here's what I'm doing so far:XmlLoader is a class I created to deal with getting the nodes. getXMLNode takes two parameters - the parent node and the name of the node we're looking for)
Code:
var featureNumber:Number = 1;
for( var feature:XMLNode = featuresNode.firstChild; feature != null; feature =

I am looking for a way to sort numbers enterred by a user, prefferably in order smallest to largest or vice verser - but at very least to find the smallest & largest numbers of the ones enterred.There are approximately going to be 15 numbers or so.
So for example:
Enterred A = 56
Enterred B = 7
[code]...
when sorted or the other way round (largest to smallest).this could be done with comparrisons but for 15 numbers it would be A LOT of comparisons.
How can I have the user define a global variable via an input/ dynamic box?

I have a project that's 1024x768. However, on screens with a resolution of 1024x768, the users still have to scroll (the project is too big to fit in the browser window). Is there a way to allow scaling of the project only if it's too big for the user's window? I don't want the project to always scale to fit the window size. I only want to scale it down if it's too large to fit on screen without scrollbars.

I'm loading an external SWF file, which become a MovieClip, using Loader(). That part is working fine. I then need to scale the MovieClip to match the stage, so that when I set the width and height of the movie doing the loading in SWFobject, the MovieClip will scale too.
For example, the SWF being loaded may be 320x240, but we decide later that we want it to be 640x480 on the page. We can just change the width and height in the javascript call to SWFobject, and it should scale everything. To top it off, I'll need an AS2 version too because we might need to load AS2 SWFs.

I'm currently using the Tween-class to tween my movieclips (just the basics as x-position, etc.). But I'm struggling to tween scaleX and scaleY as the tween does not seem to take care of the centerpoint of the movieclip. I want the movieclip to scale proportional and not just from left to right.
View 3 Replieshow do I code stage resize with scaling movieclips? I can do stage resize and position/scale movieclips relative to stage size..but i don't how to have a scalable movieclip retain its scale relative to stage size. how do I code this? for example, i have a movieclip originally 50px wide, and the stage 100px wide..when i click the mc, it scales up to 80px wide. and when I resize the stage to 50px,(50% of stage size) i want the mc to scale to 40px too(50% of mc size).. and when I click it again to restore to it's original size, i want it to scale to 25px(50% of original size). then finally when i scale the stage back to 100px, the mc again is 50px wide.
View 2 RepliesI have been hacking together two different tutorials to create a menu with changing images, and some animating text. Everything looks great, except the menuitems, which i try to resize dynamically depending on the menuitem-movieclip-contained dynamictext. When i resize this movieclip, the whole movieclip scales, and everything looks odd.
this is my first flash project on my own, so be nice :-)
fla file can be found at: [URL]
Click on a thumbnail and the corresponding image is preloaded BEFORE scaling and moving smoothly from the thumbnail position to a target position. (the thumbnail is actually the container for the loaded image, and therefore also moves to the target) I have got everything to work, except that the thumbnail moves whilst the image is still loading. This problem defeats the purpose of the gallery, and I'm starting to get blurry vision now!
I hope I have made everything clear, but since this is quite difficult to explain, I have attached the fla and images. *You will need to simulate download in flash for the current preloader to work. P.s. much of the script was (heavily) adapted from an fla I found somewhere, in which the images are arranged into a circle.
how to proportionally scale multiple movieClips relative to the stage size.
I understand movieclip placement relative to the stage, and I have been using a code to scale MovieClips as a fullscreen background (also proportionally)
But
I can not figure out for the life of me how to scale other movieclips in relation
to the stage size.
for example I have a background_mc that proportionally scales with the stage
to fill without distortion.
HOW do I then place another MC say center aligned (I know how to do that) that will scale with the background without distortion?
Ideally I would like to place several MC's on my stage all scaling in proportion with the stage yet independently.
I have not been able to find any documentation on this. lots of tutorials on backgrounds and color fills and the like but nothing on proportional scaling of independent mc's
this is the code I use for my background_mc (can it be modified or should it be thrown out the window to achieve independent scaling?)
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

I am loading some thumbnails (jpgs) into some movieclips using loadmovie. Easy enough. I want to scale the movieclip to increase the size of the thumbnail on rollover. The problem is when I use loadmovie and load the external JPG it sets the the JPGs default registration point to (0,0) and when I scale the thumbnail it scales from the top left corner. I would like it to scale from the center. This is the code I am using:
onClipEvent (load) {
var thumb = "thumbtest.jpg";
loadMovie(thumb, thumb_loader);
thumb_loader._yscale = 70;
thumb_loader._xscale = 70;
} on (rollOver) {
thumb_loader._yscale = 100;
thumb_loader._xscale = 100;
} on (rollOut) {
thumb_loader._yscale = 70;
thumb_loader._xscale = 70;
}
Is there anyway to change the registration point so it scales from the center and not the top left?

[URL]. I just created this piece which is two clips embedded in another. I used UILoader to embed each video, and I have scaling = true. Why is it that when I tab back and forth, the maps look slightly different every time? Shouldn't they scale exactly the same way every instance?
View 9 Repliesin flash AS1,2 you just input this code Stage.scaleMode="noScale";

Here is the basic structure of my xml code:
[Code]....
Now what i want to do is,
1. create some templates in Flash CS3 <!--i want to learn -->
2. use actionscript 2.0 for coding
3. read nodes from xml <!-- i know how to do this -->
a. read the template type of the screen <!-- i know how to do this -->
b. for a particular screen on flash, load the template (made in 1) onto stage <!--i want to learn -->
c. read data from xml file <!-- i know how to do this -->
d. load the data onto template in flash. <!--i want to learn -->
I want to do this because i think re-using will make my application size smaller.
Can I do this?
I am using flex builder 3.2, Action Script 3 and develop for Flash Player 10 and am quite new to it. when I call a method of a self defined class, I get the 1061 error (not defined). But the class and the method exist and are public, so what the hell am I doing wrong? Flash Builder is even offering me this method in the auto-completion, so at least the builder knows it... I have already tried cleaning the project (as this is the common source of strange errors when working with java/eclipse),
edit: solved... The problem was that a package had the same name as the variable I used for the class. Very strange error message, thumbs down for this .
I am trying to change the z-index when you a user clicks on one of my movieclips. I get this error and am not sure how to resolve it. If anyone has a few minutes to view the code I posted below that would be awesome.

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

This seems like someting I should already know but I am working on a user interface that I want to be skinable. I have about 8 different graphical elements and I want to change the appearance of these 8 different movieClips just by clicking a single button. I thought I would just create a new keyframe in my main time line and then manipulate the movieClips but that changed the appearance of the movie clip on frame 1 as well. Clarification: I want to change the color of my user interface background and I want to change the color of some clickable images as well. I want frame 1 to have a white background and I want frame 2 to have a red background. Do I need to create more movie clips and drag them onto my stage or can I just use the existing movieClips since all I really want to do is change colors?
View 5 RepliesI've search through all the threads with "scaling" and "resizing" and can't find the solution.
Basically I have a GUI element on a gallery that I don't want to scale, while the rest of the page is free to resize/scale.
I think I need to add a listener of some sort to the stage, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?
i have a diagonal movieclip that I am trying to scale along with the background video. The background video scales perfect, I am attaching the diagonal movieclip (br in the code as bottomright) with addChild
Instead of scaling with the window, it seems to repeat such as the image is displaying. this is the main section of the code that is doing the scaling
var br:mc_bottomright = new mc_bottomright();
addChild(br);
//proportional scale
if ((stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight)> (owidth/oheight))
