View 3 RepliesThe problem that I'm facing is in regards to the width of a sliding menu that I've created. The menu slides based on mouse x position and width of the movie. I would like the menu to fit to the entire screen regardless of the users resolution. I wanted to know if there's a way to detect a users screen width and then adjust the variable for screen width within my actionscript .fla if necessary.
View 10 RepliesI am Developing a flash site, I made it full screen and centered the content my flash contains a jpg photo with a certain size. My question is I want my site to be full screen and fit the window dimensions and the content will be scaled depending on the screen dimensions without the content being bad quality whatever the screen resolution (1042*786 or 800*600) or any dimensions. I want to make my site looks the same for all screens. I reached to make the flash full screen with no margin but with no scale means that it will be fixed at certain dimensions i choose it inside the swf dimensions. I want to know how to make my content full screen and scalled at any screen dimensions. How to make this without the quality is affected and if there is a certain dimensions that the flash must be of.
View 8 RepliesI'm new to Flash builder and I'm having this weird screen resizing issue. I'm setting up my .swf of dimensions..
Code:
[SWF(width="760", height="600", frameRate="32", backgroundColor="#000000")]
And I'm using...
Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
But for some reason, which I don't get is that when I do no_scale, the .swf window resized to 760x620, and I have these 20 pixels at the top, which are less than zero in Y, if I leave that line out, my graphics on the screen (isometric tiles) look distorted but the screen stays at 600 px in height.

I have an FLV player that I have programmed in AS3. The player goes into fullscreen when you press a button. I have an event listener on the button that changes the stage mode to FULL SCREEN. This act in turn is detected with an event listener on the stage that detects an event.RESIZE. This all works fine. When you click the button in normal mode I go to full screen mode and vice versa. More importantly the button changes (i.e. I line another button in the place of the previous button using coordinates) in full screen and move it off screen in normal screen so I have a "go full screen" icon button in normal mode and a "back to normal mode" icon on full screen.
MY PROBLEM is... Using the button to go into full screen mode changes the button to the 'close full screen' icon as expected. If I use the close full screen button in full screen mode it changes back. All perfect. My problem however is if I exit the full screen mode using the escape key the button does not change back so I am guessing the event handler is not triggered. Is there a way to detect the event of exiting full screen mode using the escape key rather than a button? The event.RESIZE on the stage does not seem to do it.

View 1 RepliesTried stage.stageWidth and stageHeight on applicationComplete, but for some reason the actual numbers returned do not seem to be accurate - the image always appears off-centered (stageWidth/2 - imageWidth/2). How do you determine the mobile device's actual screen size, to center an object?

View 2 RepliesI have the following code which simply loads an external swf, puts it in the right place and should all be hunky dory.This works:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("foobar.swf");[code].....
to set the dimensions of the loader so the external swf doesn't 'spill over', the result is a blank screen. No matter how high I set those dimensions it just doesn't display anything.
I am developing an AS3 application (not a Flex one) using Flash Builder 4.5. My application can set its graphical components automatically according to stageWidth/stageHeight. My problem is with the actual application size. If I do not specify width/height in the SWF meta tag, my application is compiled according to the default (550x400?). If I do specify (for example 800x480), I won't be able to support other resolutions correctly.
Is there a way to tell the compiler to see the application size according to the device's/stage's sizes?
I have a grails application using jquery mobile. I am hoping to find some way to access the camera on the devices. I thought about using flash to grab the webcam but that obviously wont work on Apple devices. Does anyone know of a way to do it and keep it all browser based? I am hoping that there is a plugin somewhere or maybe html5 has some magic in there that supports it.

I have a long log in a simple TextField, simply adding new lines of text when needed. I wanted to make some of the lines different color but while adding new line (simply as myTextField.text += '' + log; ) all the previous text formatting is erased. There is a tiny note in the doc:Notice that any text inserted manually by the user, or replaced by means of the replaceSelectedText() method, receives the text field's default formatting for new text, and not the formatting specified for the text insertion point.If I get it right the I want to load an image using loadMovie,.. and then dynamically draw a border arround it... but i need to get the dimensions of the pic...I dont know why btusing_root.container.img.pic._width isn't working...
