I am in AS2 with a working full browser flash site. I have an mc I'd like to start out at 100% but scale up to 120% if the browser window area increases. How do I tell example_mc to scale proportionally up to 120% when the window scales?

I'm working on a site right now where the flash player fills the browser window up to 1600x1200 res. The developers I hired are having problems with AS2 when it comes to scaling things and positioning them as the browser window changes size. While it works, the biggest problem is the aspect ratio, keeping the layout looking nice, and the footer keeps dropping off the screen at certain sizes.
Screen res closer to 16:9 looks better laid out than 4:3 and they keep telling me that it has to be proportional when it comes to positioning and scaling, although positions aren't really changing from whatever code they've used. To me, there must be some way so that if looks nice on 16:9, when it goes to 4:3 it will look good too, or even some in between size, they should be able to use code to figure out where things belong, even if it's not perfect. Instead, there are big gaps of dead space on 4:3 and it just looks like crap.
This is also true of background images which fill up about 1/3 of the page on the left or right. As we go down in size they say only a proportionate scale can be used, but sometimes the images are staying too large based on the size of the browser window and should be scaled more. Some of this may be attributed to much of the content being loaded dynamically as the client has us building a CMS, but to me, it's still coordinates and scale when it comes down to it and I don't know why raw percentages must be used instead of some more complex math.
If someone knows how this can be achieved, or can at least point me to web site that has this working properly, I can make sure they investigate further and figure this out before the deadline. I'm adding attachments to illustrate what I'm talking about. I'm using colored blocks to define where dynamic text boxes, icons, footer, images and navigation are. Arrows show where i'd like things to move dynamically.
I have been trying to work out how the full-browser background was done here: [URL] It scales in a very elegant way: it never stretches the image, stays centered on the image and never causes ugly blank areas around the image. For me, it's become deceptively difficult to achieve! :-(

I'm workin on a multimedia CD that I'm creating entirely with Flash. I have just ncorporated 2 video files. They play in the flash players fine but when I click on the Full Screen mode it blows the video up way to big to the point were I can only see a small section of it.
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a standalone windows AIR app and using
contextView.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP;
contextView.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
contextView.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
Which will scale my app to full screen and show the entire app with no cropping, however may leave borders on the left and right. Which it does I'm wondering if there is a way to remove or at least set the color of those borders, they are currently white. Its a big wide 2" section on the left only in my case.
So I found out how to change the color of it, by doing a backgroundColor="#f3f3f3" on

if i was to make a flash website is there a way that i could have it scale the width to fit the browser, and scale the height so that it keeps the same aspect ratio and doesn't stretch the contents out of proportion?
View 3 RepliesIm designing a website but having trouble viewing the whole page on different sized monitors. On more square resolution monitors, the left side of the website will get cut off. If you scale the browser window up, to a more widescreen format again the site will come back into view, but as you scale your browser window to the left e.i. making it more square, agian the left side gets cut off.
anyone know how to prevent or fix this? the site address is [URL]
when I play my SWF locally, it scales dynamically with the size of the window. Now that Ive published it, the website is at a static size...how do I change that?
View 1 RepliesI am working in Flash CS3 and Actionscript 3.0 My application resizes according to browser width and height. If the user first resizes the browser and then loads the flash application, I could not get the full browser width untill the user goes for full screen. Is there any way around, to get the full browser width before the user goes for full screen.

View 1 RepliesI have a full flash website built using Flash (of course). So I publish it using flash itself. But I am having a difficult time aligning it in center with its original dimension. I dun want my swf stretch out or scale at all. I want to display it without scaling and also in the center of the browser window.
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP;
I did try these and also tried changing my publish settings but didn't work.
I have finished my flash game, but when I used web Browser such as Chrome or FireFox to run it, it enlarged my game to full size of the browser. Is there anyway( in AS3 script) that I could prevent this from happening as well as hide the symbols that their sizes are bigger than my default size defined at the document property panel?

View 2 RepliesI've seen the Full Browser Flash video which has tiling in the background. Can somebody supply code, and possibly an example of how to have one scalable image as the background without distortion whilst the foreground flash remains the same size. the site below is exactly what i'm after with the menu fixed to the left.

Is it also possible to have the menu bar a fixed percentage from the top of the browser?e.
it's possible to have flash load a FLV video but have it fill the screen and be scaleable?

I have a very simple flash file with the FLVPlayback Component on the stage. When I test it in the HTML page and I click the full-screen button, the video overflows the screen. It looks fine in normal mode - everything is scaled perfectly - but when it enlarges there's a black bar above the video and the bottom 1/3 falls off the screen.

So the problem is that the stage's width isn't the full size of the browser. I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 is there a way to set the stage's parameters to allow for true full-screen?

View 3 RepliesI have a script on my first frame to have a full browser tiled background. I also have a script to preload my file. My problem is they don't seem to be working well together. The preloader works but the full browser script doesn't center my file until I resize the browser and then it snaps to the center.
View 2 RepliesI have a full-flash site which is fixed size, most controls and assets are added to the stage at runtime, the aligment is set to center, and it is embedded in html with 100% width and height - you can visit www.janelaurie.com to get a better picture of what I mean.Everything here is working perfectly, but I would like to add some stuff to the very edges of the browser and I cannot find the values that I need and its driving me crazy. I've added a listener to the stage.resize and stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight are giving the correct values but obviously that is not enough, I also need the coordinates of the top left corner which should be negative something - but I cannot find those values anywhere. I've tried getRect and getBounds but they don't work obviously as they only measure the full contents of the stage.
The only solution I can think of at this point is to set my stage.align to topleft, but that would mean i need to readjust the entire app and all of the main controls etc. are directly on the stage and I really do not want to change all that. All I need are two numbers, the coordinates of the top left corner of the stage in the resize event of the stage, is there anyway of retrieving that?
I have to launch a full browser Flash site tonight, all is working great except one issue. The doc type which should be a validated working doc type (below) is throwing my whole flash to the top of the page leaving about 80% of the page all white:View problem site: http[url]....
Code:

I have an AS2 image gallery with thumbnails and fullsize images and descriptions that load from external XML-files. I have found out how to take this gallery into true full screen.
