I want to be able to access the height of a swf when loaded into an html container. So if in the object/embed params the height is 100% I want to be able to get that value in the swf. I know I can't use the parameters value of the loaderInfo class of root as that only contains flashVars and not the embed params.
View 2 RepliesI have a problem with an flash object. The object is an expanding topbanner, but when retracted, the on mouse over effect still appears on the invisible part of the banner. The code is the following:
<div id="exp_banner" style="width:930px; height:180px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; z-index: 100;">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="test.swf" width="930"
[Code].....
I have tried to add a style height to the object with an height of 180px, but then the banner scales down.
How can I use the width and height that's set by the object's embed code within my Flash movie?
I've got items that position based on stage height/width. Problem is although the object appears re-sized when you adjust the values in the embed, the stage size obviously does not change.
Ideally I'd like to position and scale objects based on the dimensions provided in the embed.
I am using the stage ScaleMode as NO_SCALE and want to know the width and height specified in HTML in the embed tag. Is there a way to go about it?
View 1 Repliesive been able to embed my swf as an html object with its height and width relative to the window size, which was step one. now, i want to preserve the aspect ratio, so that the height is always relative to the width. i know this isnt a javascript or html forum but i figured someone here must have wanted to try this at some point. heres what i tried that didnt work: javascript [code]

I'm working on a project which allowing end users to embed a flash in their own HTML pages while we offer different ways so user could choose one that works for their circumstances, for example, most blogs doesn't welcome users to inject JavaScript on their pages, therefore SWFObject wouldn't be possible, we offered two other ways: IFrame and the oldie but goodie Object/Embed pair. Just like old Youtube embedding code:

If I create a rectangle with 100px width and 100px height and then rotate it, the size of the element's "box" will have increased.With 45 rotation, the size becomes about 143x143 (from 100x100).Doing sometimes like cos(angleRad) * currentWidth seems to work for 45 rotation, but for other bigger angles it doesn't.At the moment I am doing this:
var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
var normalizedWidth = object.width;

I am a very fresh guy in flash, I have experince in Javascript , C++ and other programming languages. So I am very much interested in doing task with Action script and get results which are not possible by GUI.I want increase the height of Movie clip using action script, So I tried to increase .height property the height increased but It increased in both direction top & bottom) I want to keep it bottom fix. I tried ScaleY, too but no luck.Somehow we can adjust the bottom after resizing but it won;t give good effect when we are using tweening or other animation.

I have a flash video loading in a modal window. It works in others browsers but not Firefox. Firefox opens the modal window to the correct width of the object, but with no height. I have come to learn that Firefox does not recognize <param> and instead uses the data attribute. However, when I remove this attribute, the modal opens with correct height. Here is the code the modal window loads:
<object width="720" height="520" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="proxymovie.SWF?file=proxymovie.MP4">
<param name="movie" value="proxymovie.SWF?file=proxymovie.MP4" />
<img src="images/poster.png" width="720" height="480" alt="" title="Download the video below" />
</object>
I thought this would be straight forward but I'm having trouble repositioning my content. I have a button instance named rollOne, When I roll over the button I want to load an swf object but not on top of the button so I want to find out what the button's width is so I can reposition the dynamically loaded content. I thought rollOne.width would return the width, but it only returns 0 the same goes for height.
rollOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fetchQty);
function fetchQty(event:MouseEvent):void {
myContainer.x = (rollOne.x + rollOne.width);
myContainer.y = (rollOne.y + rollOne.height);
var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("8032697883620.swf");
var img1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
img1Loader.load(img1Request);
myContainer.addChild(img1Loader);
trace(rollOne.width);
}

View 1 RepliesI'm building a class for a data grid that creates everything dynamically, and allows the user to add buttons to a cell easily. If the user defines a height for the dataGrid that's smaller than the content, the content is cropped and a scrollbar is added. Now here's where my problem occurs. Once the content is masked, and you then try to access the .height property of the dataGrid, it will return the height of the dataGrid + the masked content.So I added a get/set override function for the .height property. Now this works, but only if I'm constantly updating the height as I create my dataGrid. What I'm curious about, is how (when the properties aren't overridden) when you add a child to a MovieClip, it's .height property is updated automatically? For example if you have
ActionScript Code:
var par:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
// each Cell is 20px tall.
var cell1:Cell = new Cell();
var cell2:Cell = new Cell();
par.addChild(cell1);
par.addChild(cell2);
trace(par.height);
The .height will equal 40px. Is there a set somewhere inside addChild that updates the .height property, or is there a different way that they do it? Basically I'd like to override the .height property after a certain amount of the dataGrid is built (to compensate for the difference in masked content height), but since the override happens from the very beginning, I'd like to know if there's a better way of setting my MCs height rather than constantly setting it as I build the grid. Or better yet, is there a way to get the proper height of an object that contains masked content without having to override the height?

I contacted the devs and they notified me to use the swf object code for embeding the swf file provided in the index.html.

View 2 RepliesI am tweeing a bunch of rectangles randomly on stage.
Code:
TweenLite.to(thumbArr[i],1,{
x:Math.random () * (stage.stageWidth - thumbArr[i].width),
y:Math.random () * (stage.stageHeight - thumbArr[i].height),
rotation: Math.random () * (60) - 30});
the problem is that after I added random rotation (between -30 and 30 degrees), the corners of my rectangles are still sticking out of the stage at the end of the tween.
If I trace objects width and height after the rotation I get the new values but this still doesnt help me because I am tweening to that rotation.
Code:
mc.rotation = 20;
trace(mc.width);
trace(mc.height);

View 1 RepliesI'm missing the command to get the object height from the html page. I just want to set the original height and width to a sprite background. The object in the html is set dynamically from the server.
Also when I resize from the authoring window the background doesn't change size where:
pageBkg_mc.height=stage.height;
pageBkg_mc.width=stage.width;
I looked in the properties panel and when I clicked on the instance of the movie clip the option to set the size was disabled. Not sure why. So I deleted the instance and put it in a new fla. The options were enabled. Then I went back to my old fla and dropped a new instance of the background there again. Added the same instance name and sizing was enabled again. Is there a reason why it became disabled?
I also updated this code and it works fine now.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.StageAlign;

Flash 8 Im very new to AS and I hope this don't seem stupid. All I want to do is double the height of an object every time its clicked. Here is what I have so far and it works, but only one time. I want to be able to click it again and have it double again.
