I have a basic XML file that is going to load 9 images into flash, img1, img2, img3, ect... All the images are different width's and height's. I'm having trouble aligning the center of the images to each other, or aligning the center of images to a certain spot on the stage. Right now the top left is aligning.
Code: Select allvar imageX:XML;
var imageList:XMLList;
var canvas:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I have created an executable file from a flash movie and am wondering if it is possible to center the movie on the desktop when it autoruns.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a fullscreen application that doesn't run flash on the browser. Running Flash player 10. When you open the file, I have fscommand to run fullscreen, the flash file is built at 1280 x 800, and I have an image (menu screen) that starts off the flash file. I'm trying to find a way to center the image to the native SCREEN resolution, not the flash resolution. Is that possible?
I have this code running on the menu MC:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x = Stage.width /2;
this._y = Stage.height /2;
}
I've tried other variations of this, and no luck. On my 1280x800 native resolution monitor, it's great. Tested it, and it works. However, if I run the same file on a 1920x1080 monitor, the image is on the lower right hand corner. Also, the image at the moment has a center anchor point, but I'm sure you realized by my simple code. Also, just escaping the fullscreen mode, and scaling the window also screws up the formula. So I'm not sure what I can do to make it dead center no matter the screen res, or size of window. The reason I need to do this, is also because there are times where I have to change the flash resolution, and I don't want to go into the image everytime to adjust the center.
Here's an easy one: how can I center text that I'm loading inside CDATA tags from an XML file into my .swf?
Everything I've tried in terms of tags and text-align:center divs hasn't worked. Is this possible to do without editing the .fla?
I'm having two problems. First of all, the gallery loads all pictures at once. The more pictures in the XML file, the slower they all load. Secondly, I wanted the pictures to scroll in its _y coordinate, similar to Sugar Rhyme's website portfolio (see url]...).
View 1 RepliesI am trying to recreate a banner I did awhile ago for this [url]... it needs to be the same thing except I need to be able to change the photos in the banner by just changing pictures in a folder.
Is there a way to do this and still keep all of the fading properties and loop?
I am new to flash and I created a gallery that loads the pictures from an xml file. I was wondering how I could create the links to each picture dynamically from the xml sheet in a seperate movieClip named "menu_mc".

View 1 RepliesI have a website [URL] that you can but banner advertizing on it. The banners have to be a jpg or swf file and have to be a certain size. I have no trouble with PS. Everytime you refresh the screen or go to another page a new add appears. What I'm wondering if I can take several pictures and make them into swf file. What I'm trying to accomplish is a rotating banner so you don't have to refresh to see the new ads.

View 8 RepliesHaving an online swf doing some slideshow with loaded pictures from an xml filme, how can I, after building the slideshow with some transitions, export the result movie into a flv/mov/* file?know how you can get pictures from a xml file into flash and then proceed to build the slideshow (showing, of course, the swf in the page).What I need is a somewhat hidden swf that would process this pictures and then export the movie into a folder.Example:
-> user uploads pictures
-> user click preview movie
-> pictures are loaded into the flash file
-> movie is built
-> final file is saved into some folder
-> user is warned about the movie being done and read to download
i've created a php file which grabs ID, name, URL1, URL2, and Price from a table and puts it into an array called 'loadpics'.Now here is where i'm lost.How can i then put pictures into flash from the URLS in the variable? how to tell flash to create the pictures... Do i need to use a component or something? Or do i create a movieclip and somehow load them in there? if someone has an xml script example of putting images from the urls in the variable created by the php.

View 5 RepliesI'm building a website in flash 8. I have significantly reduced the file size of my pictures for the website with Irvanfiew. (for instance a 75kb picture down to 24kb) the quality is good, but the shadow that Irfanview use is rubbish. If I import the picture AS IS without shadow and convert the picture into a movie and add a shadow, will that add a lot of kb's to my overall website?
View 5 RepliesWhen I open a new document in flash, the stage is in the top left corner of my screen and I cannot figure how to center it in the middle. I cannot go to the left or above the stage which is making it very difficult to work with as I cannot access those areas.
View 1 RepliesI know theres probably a simple solution but it's escaping me at the moment.
I have a centered swf, I want it to stop centering if the swf reaches the side nav so they dont overlap.
function Center(mc) {
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if(mc._x >500){
[Code]....
this stops the centering when it hits 500, but it stops all centering because it's stuck on 500.
I have used the centering pop up technique, but my problem lies with the boreders. I'm using the pop ups for jpgs, but it seems to have a bit of a boreder at the top and the left of the image, how can I get rid of this. I used the tut on this site for centered popups. an example of my problem is on my site at [URL]..
View 4 RepliesI have a movieClip that starts out a a specific scale. I then tween the images properties and as it tweens it also scales again. What I'm trying to do as it tweens and scales its obviously changes the width and height of the movieClip. So I'm trying to constantly keep the clips position in the center of the stage.
I'm using tweenMax and I tired an update event so I could keep checking the width and height of the clip as it scales and then using this code to center it but it doesn't seem to be centering the image. On other thing to note is my MovieClip is using its top left corner as the registration point.

I'm told that the following chunk of script will center the stage on resize, but not knowing much of anything about actionscript,
myListener = new Object(); myListener .onResize = function () { ... } Stage.addListener( myListener ); // later ... Stage.removeListener( myListener );
I've come across a new snag to a previous project. I'm not quite sure why, but when the full image is loaded to the stage, it is not centering it properly. The trace of fullLoader returns "0" for the width and height of the full-sized image, and I'm not quite sure how to pass the necessary information into the showPicture function so that it correctly centers the image. I tried tracing the content of fullLoader and got an error message.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip on the stage which has the dimensions 400x400.I currently load images,and add them to this component.Each image is a different size. At this moment in time, they are placed at position 0,0 within the movieclip container.Some of the code looks like
var data:XML;
var total:Number;
var url_list = new Array();[code]....
Is there anyway I could get the loaded images placed at the center of the movieclip container.I dont know if I have to do something like subtract the images width and height from the containers width and height, and then divide by 2?
- How can I center my main SWF inside the browser without stretching the the swf? I just want it to be center both horizontal and vertical when you resize the browser.
- I found some tutorials but it is only referring to just ONE movieclip. What if I want to center the whole stage? Is there any other way to call the stage that has content in it?
I'm trying to center an swf in a browser without using table width and height 100% and the most promising way i've found so far is to set
Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";
in the first frame and then set the width and height of the object tag in the html to 100%. However, i'm having trouble getting this to work with the doctype in some newer browsers.

1. I have an .swf framework file that imports two other .swf files into itself to be viewed. The actionscript to import the other .swf files is as below. This works in firefox 3.0.5, but not in any other newer or older version of firefox, even if they have the latest, and same flashplayer 10 versions installed. It doesn't work in explorer either but in opera it works. I't doesn't matter if I use mac or PC. Why ? Is there something wrong with my actionscript ? For now the page with the imported .swfs just shows up empty.
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadHandler:Object = new Object();
loader.addListener(loadHandler);[code].....
2. I've used a html template that use div tags to center content both horizontaly and verticaly in any browser.The centering works fine, but when I put in the code for embedding my framework .swf, it starts chewing alot before the .swf shows up. It's like something slows down the whole process.Sometimes I have to reload the page to make it show. Check out the website to see whats wrong.
