Actionscript 3.0 :: Center Content And Continues Background
Apr 27, 2009
I have a project in which the client would like the contents to be centered on his browser but the background to fill the whole window... this would be simple enough if the background was a solid color... the problem I am facing is that the background has a design to it (see attached). I found a good tutorial on: [URL] ...that is the basics of what I am trying to achieve, but not quite there. The RED bars on my attachment would be the center of the content...
am not much a coder but am learning i just wana know how i can center my flash site/content/background on browser resize
i found a tutorials about that exactly the only problem was am using AS2 and the tutorials is for damn AS3 so please if you know one for AS2 then direct me or if you got som code u wana share dont hesitate 2 post it 4 me
I have a Flash GUI loading in external SWFs, published as a projector file and the functionality seems to be working perfectly...however, for some inexplicable reason, when I press Ctrl + F to view in fullscreen mode...the stage snaps to the top left corner.[code]just to see what would happen...the result...well, the above code worked...for about a half-a-second...then the main movie (i.e. the stage) snapped right back to the top left corner.
I am quite new to AS3 and I have never worked with classes, so I am encountering a couple of problems.
I'd like to center a movieclip, have it so that it doesn't scale. And then I'd like to add a background color that stays there no matter how I scale the browser.
Can someone please explain me this in babysteps? Since I don't know how to implement a class and make it work with my fla.
I have just built my first website in Flash CS4 and have come across a couple problems. When I published it online, I found that the site is not centered and has a huge white area around it. How can I center the window and spread my background out infinitely?
I'm using a ScrollPane to horizontally scroll a movie clip that's much larger than the stage. I've got it working just fine, but I need the scroll bar to appear in the middle of the content. That is to say that I need the scroll bar to appear in the center of the stage with the movieclip behind it extending above and below the scroll bar. Is there a way to do this with ScrollPane or another technique that will accomplish this?
I've tried customizing the component by changeing the position of the ScrollTumb skin by going into its movie clip. This positions the scrolling stuff where I want it, but the movieclip appears on top of it.
I have loaded the images inside the movie clip, however, only one loader content aligns to the center,particularly the last one loaded in loop.How to align all loader content in a loop?other options with this kind of scenario.
Whenever I include flash content on a page it causes IE & FF3+ to redraw the background.This does not happen in Google Chrome, Safari, or FF2.
On every page of my site there is a small flash animation that is in a hidden div. That flash content become visible and plays on a mouse-over event. That all works fine. However, in the above mentioned browsers, that flash content causes the site's background to be redrawn on every page-load, causing a flicker. Is there any way to prevent this? A google search revealed other people having the same issue, but no resolution.
I am using the SWFObject and alternative content for a flash navigation. Unfortunately, if the viewer does have Flash installed, a white box appears before the nav appears. I am using a gif as a tiling background image for the nav, therefore the swf has a transparent background. Everything is good except for the second that the white box shows up.here's a bit of CSS and XHTML, but I have looked at this as well as the flash document, but I have been able to resolve the issue, and I'm out of ideas.
I downloaded a file for full screen re-sizable background flash. I'm new to Flash. I started to make site from there, but when I draw anything, & compile it. my drawing goes behind this background.
I want to use a gradient as background for my flash movie, but I want this background to cover the whole browser's window just like Adopt Design does it (check out Adopt Design). The content of the flash movie should NOT be resizable with the browser's window though. So, I used this code:
[Code]... in the HTML file I did set the margins to 0pix and the SWF's height and width to 100%. But when I type in the address in the browser to open the page the first time, I see the flash movie in the center with white background around it anyway, and when I resize the browser's window (even if just 1pix) everything is perfect. What's happening? check the problem in a JPG: the site (notice what changes when you resize the window, after opening)[URL]
I have some preloader (timeline-based) content and some FLV's that I want the user to see while other content is loading in the background. The preloaded content and the FLV's are very choppy while the content is loading and run fine afterward. I initially thought this might be a RAM issue, but my other apps are running fine at the same time (YouTube, etc.) so I think it's an issue within my code or Flash Player. How do the really nice preloaders (animation on timeline OR FLV's) run so smoothly while background content is loaded? For example, are they independent SWF's? internalized classes exported for Actionscript? some other option I'm not privy to? Mine, for example, are internal classes in the main library that I have exported for AS.
I have spent days trying to figure out how to what on paper sounds really simple in flash.All i want is to be able to have a full flash page with a background that stretches fluently across. and for the windows or content inside that page to stay in proportion to that.the background loads fullscreen whatever resolution or dimensions its in and the content shrinks itself to fit.How can i get this ?i have been using action scriptStage.scaleMode = "noBorder";Stage.align = "TL";
I recently found a great tutorial for making a scalable background image on: [URL] which has worked a treat. But my content is now positioned top left. How can I centre it without effecting the background? The full code I'm using on the first frame is below. I can centre all the content by changing Stage.align to "T", but then the background image has a nasty white space on the left hand side when the user resizes the browser.
I'm a flash newbie, can do some basics: //set stage for FBF Stage.align = "TL"; Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; //define dynamic aspect ratios picHeight = new Object (); picHeight = pic._height / pic._width; [Code] .....
I have gone through it all and it works great for the tutorial but I tried replacing the background with an image and when the browser is resized to full screen it distorts the image and stretches it out of proportion. Does anyone know how I can have the background image resized to the full screen and stay in proportion?
I basically want to create the exact functionality as [URL]
I would like to have a project where the background fits the whole window (can squeeze) and the content is automatically resized and centered; keeping its ratio.Auto-Resizing and Centering your Content But here's my problem :
My main project is 1400*900px. My MC to handle is 1000*680px.
I load an external SWF in that MC (with addChild).This external SWF is 1000*680px too (same size than parent).I have a lot of clips in my external SWF and some of them are "out" the project zone.So when I load it in my MC; the MC is no more 1000*680 but more.I thought that what was outside didn't matter; but it seems that flash do not ignore what is out.So, when I use the code to resize/recenter the MC; it broke as it do not center as it should.I did try to use masks but it do the same.
I am trying to create a website. The main timeline has graphics, movie clip buttons and a movie clip which is the background of the content. Within the background I have another movie clip which has the text and fades in. What I am trying to do here is make the movie clip button trigger the content movie clip that its within the background movie clip. I tried everything but keeps going in loops.
I'm trying to create a simple splash page for a site that has a scalable background animation, with a fixed size content animation that will stay centred for different sized browser windows or if the window is resized.[code]In general am I on the right track to achieve something similar to the example I posted? Is there a better method to use?
dim background content after loading an external swf into main swf. I was told that a dark movie clip placed over the whole site but under the external swf with alpha set to 50% would work. I need the background content to dim when the external swf is loaded and then go back to normal when exiting that page link. How can this be done thru xml or actionscript?My website is an xml flash template that loads the text and pictures for the site Thru xml file. Anyone have sample code? I am newbie to actionscript.
I'm back to try and come to grips with AS3. I have been forced to focus on CSS and jquery. I am trying to make the background blur when you click on a link to play video or another movieclip.
I'm trying to create a layout not too different from the feed reader sample.The problem I'm having is that I'm finding the documentation unclear. There are so many different types of layouts that I don't know which one to use when.In the example, on the right side there are a few horizontal panels:
this does not include the details panel and the resize handle.I would like to swap the DataGrid with my custom content which is basically a sprite. The problem I have is that I cannot just include a sprite, because it does some funky resizing. I would like the scroll bar to appear when the content is too tall, and have have the same skin for the background as the DataGrid.
I have a center window and a background in my flash file. I am trying to get the center window to stay in the center of the web browser screen and get the background to expand and fill the entire web browser screen below center window layer. Sort of like this site [URL] I've currently converted the background to a movie clip and have this code.
My flash movie is 1440x900 but the area where all the important stuff happens in within 1024x768, i am trying to keep the middle in the center regardless of browers size or aspect ratio.
I can center the page but it doesn't work as i need it to. If the browers is small (1024x768) the swf is justified against the left edge, but not keeping the middle in the middle of the brower.
[URL] is an example of exactly what i am trying to achieve.
I am trying to get a flv video to load on top of a parent swf. (A pop-up within flash). What I chose to do, was to put the flv player in a swf and try to load and unload it with the parent swf. This works great except when the child unloads, the music from the flv keeps playing. I am wondering if I have to do more than just a simple add and remove child. Here is what I have to load the swf when a button is clicked:
Code: var movieLoader:Loader = new Loader(); playMovie_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMovie); function showMovie(event:MouseEvent):void { movieLoader.load(new URLRequest("memories_vid.swf")); addChild(movieLoader); [Code] .....
Once it plays the outro animation into empty keyframes. Every attempt I have made to removeChild has not work. I still have the audio from the flv playing. How do I get "close_btn" to stop everything and to completely unload the swf?
Into my main SWF, I'm loading an external SWF with anUlLoader component. This external SWF plays an FLV using thatrespective component. Everything works fine, except that when Iclose the external SWF from within my main SWF, the FLV audiocontinues to play.
