Is there a way wherein I can enlarge the document property size and force the contents to align to the center? I'm new, so I probably started backwards. I made my file with animation just how I wanted it, then realized it would look better if I put a frame around it. But, when I enlarge the document properties to accommodate the frame, all content, including associated animations, are top flush left. I need them middle center.

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to set the size of the fla or swf document via actionscript? The stage size and the document size seem to be two different things. What I what to do is get the users monitor size then adjust my document size to match than and arrange my layout to fill the aspect ratio of their screen. Then use the stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; to fill the window.

Does anyone know a way to dinamically modify a flash document's size at runtime?I have a drop down of which the item can have any number of pixels in height so it might be taller than the flash document. In this case i would need to resize the flash document and also resize the it in html so it won't be cut off.

but evidently it is not "Document" - or if it is, there is another include I need to use.
i know.... this is probably one of the most ridiculous questions, and is probably RIGHT in front of my face, or should be self explanitory, but since i'm new at this and i could really care less if someone calls me an idiot, i'm going to ask...how do you resize your flash file to fit a small/GIANT animation etc?
View 6 RepliesThis marks a new chapter for me asking a question about an entirely different subject that I know nothing about I'm following a book called "Flash Games" and it's not for beginners and I'm a beginner so lots of jargon that I don't know and simple google searches don't come up with anything. What is the Flash IDE? Does this author mean the application Adobe Flash to build applications. So that means there is Flex, and Flash Catalyst, and Air IDEs? I don't really treat this like IDEs in terms of programmer but I guess I just don't know. The author says to set the document property on my file.fla to Game. How to do this?
View 2 RepliesI have a flash file that a customer has sent me that needs changing. (It is a flash website header with links to the site pages and a logo above. I have deleted the logo above) One of the problems is the size. I would like to half the size of the document as there is a lot of white space in the top half where I am going to add a static logo to a webpage (with these flash site links below). When I open Flash CS4 and click Modify > Document..., I can change the height dimensions but the white background changes but the whole of the flash movie is now under the document.
How can I change the possition of either the rest of the document or the background of the document to fit under my movie so that the whole document displays as a flash movie at the correct size? Another problem that I am having is changing the links in the template to the page names that I am using on the site. I don't seem to be able to even find the buttons to make the changes. What ever I do to view them I can't 'see' them when scrolling the time line but when I export or preview the movie all the elements are there.
If the size of the Document object in a Flash application is not set explicitly, how is its size determined?
View 5 RepliesWith AS1/2 there was no way(that I know of) to determine the document size at runtime. You had to hard code in some vars. Although Stage.width and Stage.height would be the same as the document size when scaleMode is not 'noScale', if scaleMode is indeed 'noScale' then Stage.height and Stage.width represent the SWF size. This behavior appears the same in AS3, but I was wondering if there's any additions that make it possible?
View 3 RepliesActionScript Code:
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("crossball.swf", container);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
trace(container._width);
trace(container._height);
}
This always traces the width/height of the content of the external crossball.swf file, not its stage dimensions. So let's say crossball.swf has a document size of 200 by 200 pixels and in it is a shape of 115 by 30 it will trace the last as the width/height of 'container'. Is there any way to get the stage dimensions of an externally loaded swf through moviecliploader?

View 5 RepliesI used flash 8 to make a dropdown menu for my webpage.
This menu is an horizontal bar which expands everytime you rollover one of its buttons.
My problem is, when i import it to my webpage (in dreamweaver) i get a huge square with the menu and the background (white colored) which represents my hole document.
Is there anyway to fit the menu size so that instead of a huge square I get only a small bar, but the vertical panels still show up when rolled over?
I've created a flash movie using 640x480 document size.In the published SWF file, the size looked fine when the window was maximized, but I've just published an HTML format, and all the the frame was really small and tucked in the top left corner of the browser.I've tried typing a "100%" value in the Height field of the HTML file, but this just centered the animation, it didn't scale it.
Is there any way to fix this problem? Do I have to go back to the FLA file and edit all the symbols and raw data, keyframe-by-keyframe?
1. Create a new Flash document of size 450—300.
2. Create two dynamic text fields on the left side of the stage. Type some text into them as I have done. Give them instance names of titleText and contentText.
3. Create a new empty movie clip (Insert -> New Symbol). Give it a name Image holder and hit OK.
4. Drag the image holder from the library to the stage. Position it right after the title text field (refer to screenshot). Give the image holder an instance name of imageHolder
5. Now we need to create the images that show up on the right side of each page. Feel free to use your own, or use the ones that I have. Remember the location where you save these images! You will need the path when we define the image sources in the XML document.

The MC is a drawn rectangle converted into a MC and I want to make the photos that load resize into the size of the MC. The .swf that I am loading into it is AS only set in the doc class.

I am trying to send the download progress updates back to the main Document Class and display it on screen, so I am trying to dispatch the event "PROGRESS_INFO" and then get the information from the passed Event Object, like so: Document Class

This however, is proving futile... any ideas on how I can get the progress info out of the IMageLoader class? note: I know I can add bytesLoaded & bytesTotal to a public variable, but then I won't get the benefit of seeing the bytesLoaded property update in the ProgressEvent class.
I have a Flash CS4 document and I am attempting to resize the stage to accomodate its current contents.When I do so, the stage becomes *much larger* than the apparent contents, and I am trying to figure out why. I have literally examined every frame of the animation, and selected every individual object to see if the selection bounds indicate a rogue "large object"...but none indicate this...what sort of things about the contents might cause this that I am missing?

I'm not quite sure how to work this, but I want to have the splash page play automatically then go to the main page of the website. Can someone help me out with this? And does it matter that they are different sizes?
