An object has been attached. The object is then tweened starting from a large number and going to a small number. Except my tweens aren't working. From the trace statements, my objects are shown to end up being to x=-20.55 and y=-107373766.65.

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
I've come to notice recently while using bitmap objects in the Flash CS5 (maybe before as well) authoring environment that are less than 4 pixels in width and/or height that they are treated as though they are 4 pixels wide/tall. Many of the bitmaps I use are 1 px wide in one direction or the other, and they are stretched to fill an area. Lets say I have a bitmap that is 20px tall and 1 px wide, and I stretch it to be 100px wide. The "hit area" of the object, or parent objects that contain it, is 400 px wide. So even if you click a significant distance away from the object, it is still selected, and anything underneath that invisible area can't be selected.
I've also noticed that when exporting a frame as an image, the smallest the width/height may be is 4px, and when I click the Edit button in the Properties panel with a Bitmap instance selected, it opens up in Photoshop CS5 and is 4 pixels wide! I'm wondering if for some reason Flash can't handle bitmaps less than 4 pixels in width/height and is treating it as if it IS 4 pixels wide, possibly even adding 3 extra columns of transparent pixels, because if I do the same thing manually, naturally it acts identical to the way Flash treats the 1px wide version. But why? Why can't Flash handle small bitmaps? Seems to me that's more efficient than quadrupling the amount of memory required.
I would like my website [URL] to be fullscreen and I've found this code to make it.But I am having problems with Firefox - the screen doesn't load anything, it is just a black screen. And in some IE the swf appears in a little square (very small) and not the size it was supposed to be in a maximized screen. The compatibility button on IE8 fixes it, but not everybody knows about this button..

I'm compiling for the first time with mxmlc.exe from the command line. The compilation is successful, and the SWF plays if I set specific pixel sizes for width and height in my HTML wrapper. However, if I set the sizes to 100%, the SWF is not loaded (and right-clicking on the page yields the regular Firefox menu instead of the Flash menu).
Here's my HTML.

View 0 RepliesI have a ViewStack which is dataProvider for a TabBar. There are two VBoxs as children for this ViewStack. It works fine with absolute values for width and height for these VBoxs, but when specified in percentages, the VBox uses all the available space (100%) for any percentage value. find the code and screen shots below.
how can children of a ViewStack be aligned to center? There is no horizontalAlign property for ViewStack and it is not working with horizontalCenter= "0".
Code:
<mx:ViewStack id="viewStack" width="100%" height="100%" selectedIndex="0" horizontalCenter="0" textAlign="center">
<mx:VBox label="Tab 1" width="25%" height="10%" borderThickness="2" borderColor="red"

I would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?

View 10 RepliesI'm using Flash Pro 8 and I'm attempting to incorporate events into some of my classes and I'm having nothing but problems. After looking at lots of examples, this all seems okay, but doesn't work. First is the class code and secondly is the code on the timeline.
ActionScript Code:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class iaicu.mycampus.ClassSchedule {[code].....
Keep in mind that these classes are more elaborate, so events are intended to be more useful.
Our creative team produces SWF animations in the Flash CS5 authoring tool that we (the engineers) load at runtime into a project built using the Flex SDK. Animations that don't use the "3D rotation tool" work just fine.
Animations that use the 3D rotation tool give the following behavior:
MovieClips that have 3D tweens applied using the 3D rotation tool show up in the top-left corner of the stage as if they had no transform at all (i.e. as if their Matrix3D was being ignored, and their Matrix was identity) MovieClips that have normal 2D tweens animate properly Alpha and other non-affine properties tween properly
Both 3D and non-3D animations play fine when loaded by themselves in a browser tab or the standalone flash player. 3D is only broken when loaded into our code generated SWF.
So it seems that for MovieClips with 3D transformations applied in the CS5 authoring environment, those transformations aren't being applied / respected when the SWF is loaded by our code SWF.
This is my first foray into 3D, so I'm not sure what could be causing this, but here's what I've tested / checked / tried, all to no avail:
I've ensured that actionscript 3 and Flash Player 10 / 10.1 is selected in the authoring environment. I've tried loading animations into code SWFs built using Flex 4.1, 4.5, and 4.6 at Flash player versions 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and 11 I've applied Matrix3D to the containers that load the SWF animations, both identity and rotated. I can see the rotated containers do work with 3D in perspective, so I know that my code SWF is 3D capable.
Here's the actionscript.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest()/employee_slideshow_datalayer1.txt");
//request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;

I've published Mac projector files and .exe file from Flash CS4 for several months without issue. For the past week when I've published Mac projector files the .app icon appears on my desktop but when I try to play the file the dock opens but the file doesn't play. Any Mac projector files I published prior to this problem play fine.I've tried creating a new .fla file and have reinstalled Flash but I'm still having the problem. EXE files and SWF files play fine. Also, the Mac projector files publish at about half the file size they did before this problem, while the EXE and SWF files are the same size.
View 3 Repliesi am using the following AS to scale a movieclip with ease
[Code]...
should i be using a delete this.OnEnterFrame when the clip reaches the desired width? the problem is that ive noticed a lag in my tweens and i wonder if this is whats causing it.
I have a flash banner graphic that I created at 1000px wide by 420px tall. I want this to be fluid and fill the browser width, so that when the browser is rescaled the swf fills the horizontal space. My problem is that there is content below it that needs to touch it, but the height is trying to fill 100% so it is creating vertical space between the flash content and the div below it.
I guess a better way to describe it is that I don't want to define the height I just want the width to be 100%. At 100% height there is unused space so I need to make the height maybe undefined or something smaller then 100%?Also, if you make the browser too small vertically the width will not fill. So I want 100% width regardless of the browser height.
How do I set the width and height of my swf in AS3?
This is my code so far:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Game extends Sprite {
}
}
Right now, when loaded it is at some arbitrary default size.
If I can't change the size this way, is there any easy work around that will be consistent?

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 RepliesI want to write a shell that creates instances of an app and scales it down for animating. Well, I created my shell class and instanced the app and set scales for x and y and then I traced the height and width because I wasn't sure what they'd be. I thought they'd be based on the stuff on the stage or whatever, but they both came up zero. So I'm not sure how that works, am I supposed to have set those values?
