I'm designing a website in flash & have imported my images into the library & have placed them on the stage, but when I go to "test movie" to preview my page, some of the images look like this [URL] the funny thing is, when I look at the images on the stage they look fine, it's only when I test my movie that they look cut off.
View 3 RepliesFor some background: I'm creating some e-learning modules using a client's existing Flash/AS/XML template. There is another separate file that is loading XML content and directing the "flow" or progression of the module. Basically, it is broken up into three parts:
1. Chapter = a selection made from a main menu (<chapter> in the XML) and is a large section; it is comprised of one to several "pages"
2. Page = sections within the chapters that users can progress to via navigation buttons; each page represents a separate Flash/SWF file with several clips (driven by audio clips played by another AS file from the XML direction). Also, each page has a certain AS file (only ONE) associated with it to either create interactivity, an activity, or text placement.
3. Clip = audio-driven parts of each page; represented within each 'page' FLA/SWF by keyframes. These modules are being produced for two languages - thus the use of AS/XML to pull in text from two different files. We also have the need to pull in images using AS from the XML files. These images are essentially screenshots; some are large, some are small. Depending on text placement, we may want to resize images to make them fit within a certain space. Can you all suggest the best way to resize/scale these images dynamically. Basically, if the image's width is over 570 pixels or the height is greater than 550 pixels, I want to resize it so it fits within that 570x550 space. You can see the code that I tried (in "//") that didn't work. Feel free to comment on other aspects of the code.

I've got an array of different sized images. I want to place these images on a canvas in a sort of automated collage.
All my images have heights divisible by 36 pixels and widths divisible by 9 pixels. They have mouseDown functions that allow you to drag and drop. When dropped the image goes to the closest x point divisible by 9 and y point divisble by 36. There is a grid drawn on top of the canvas.
I've sorted the array of images based on height, then based on their widths.
imagesArray.sortOn("height", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
imagesArray.sortOn("width", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
I'd like to take the largest image ( imageArray[0] ) to put in corner x,y = 0,0. Then randomize the rest of the images and fit them into the collage canvas.
The end result won't matter, once the program is finished (images sitting in IDE or images loaded externally)I work off of a laptop most of the time, cheap laptop, so if I have 5 Megs of images sitting in my Flash IDE, every time I troubleshoot (run the movie, F5), it takes at least 5 seconds before I can test my movie, and when you have to test it 4000 time a day it adds up . If I were to load everything externally, would this knock off the testing time drastically, considering I am not adding the images to the stage (just have them load, and stored in arrays)?
View 2 RepliesI have played some more with Flash and come upon something that i would know more about.I tried to make:A scene. when I click the left mouse button on the stage an object(from the librery [graphic]) will be place exactly where the mouse is.I did not really know how to approach this, but tried anyways.
This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addApple);
Function addApple(event:MouseEvent):void{
//I dont know what to put here to place an object(apple) from the libery
//onto the stage where the mouse is.
};
I need to place a div tag above literally everything else on the page. I've read that setting wmode param to opaque will do it, but also heard that that will only effect IE.

View 1 RepliesI've got a few questions for the technical side of a project we're working on and I'd really just like to know if it would be possible before I present it to the rest of my group. The idea is to create a wall on which the user can write down several words on their chosen locations (like a brainstorm), then click one of them to continue with it..
Is it possible to create an editable textfield at the cursor's position on a mouseclick and (if even needed) make it active so the user doesn't have to click twice? And then repeatable on multiple locations on the workarea..
I'm assuming the text autoresize function would still work and that I could add a random small rotation to it (It has to look like you're writing on a wall).
Then, on the next step, I'd like the user to be able to pick one and click on that to continue.
I'm guessing it involves creating a movieclip with a textfield in it and then load that from the library on the canvas on mouseclick.. What I'm most worried about is the user having to click twice to actually start typing..
I tried all suggestions from the dreamweave forums and none worked.I am placing a CS4 swf movie into dreamweaver CS4 and when I preview in firefox I can't get rid of the 1 pixel white border.Have tried all settings, including setting the wmode parameters to transparentBorder set to 0, frame set to 'top', image set to top.If I change the background of the frame to blue for example, I get a 1 pixel blue line.

I'm importing and playing an external FLV in my movie using the FLVPlayback component and providing captioning for it using the FLVPlaybackCaptioning component. It's working great. (CS5, AS3, Windows 7)
By default the captioning box plays directly on top of the FLVPlayback Component. I want to separate them, so for instance, i can put content (images and such) in between the Playback component and the caption box.
Ive managed to create a for loop that finds the highest value in an array:
array[0]=max

}
but Im trying to create a for loop that places all the values in that array from lowest to highest

It's been a few years since I've last used ActionScript, so I'm a bit rusty Anyways, I have 16 buttons in my library with linkage names btn0-btn15. I can successfully add them onto the stage by saying something like:
Code:
var tempBtn:SimpleButton = new btn0();
stage.addChild(tempBtn);
I'm going to be tinkering with the buttons layout and positions, and I would like to add each of the different buttons to the stage dynamically with a for loop. I've been trying different variations of this:
Code:
for (int i:int=0; i<16; i++) {
var tempBtn:SimpleButton = new ["btn" + i]();
}
but I just can't seem to find the right syntax for doing this correctly.
I have an action script for a movie clip to rotate around (instance_name.rotation -= 1. and this works fine, how ever i need it to rotate around a point outside of the movie clip. i think i need to move the registration point but i dont know how to do this.
