I'm building my first website in Flash, and it's a porfolio website. I'm trying to set up my portfolio page to show screenshots of my graphic design projects, and when a user clicks on them, it enlarges the photo.
I am looking for it to be done like this website below when you click on their photo samples, it enlarges it, where you can also go to the next photo.
I'd like to build a gallery of photos which has selected thumbnail on each of them before displaying their photos.
Ex: photo.xml
Code:
<gallery>
<photo id="1">
<thumb>pics/thumbnail/img_001.jpg</thumb>
[code]....
I have been trying to find a tutorial or actionscript on the web which will allow users to" click on an image to enlarge it " when they vew the webpage. Its such a common thing , but haven't had any luck whatsoever .Can someone please refer me to a link/tutorial on how to do this?

I'm using Flash 8. The font in the files is very very small, nearly unreadable. There is no option to enlarge the font, and Ctrl+ does nothing.
View 5 RepliesIs 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 RepliesI've completed my first character in Flash. Happy with it's performance. Got eyes blinking, mouth syncing, and hands gesturing. But the character doesn't fill the screen the way I want. I need this to be a close-up shot of the character.When I go to enlarge the character it screws everything up because the head and body are keyed separately.Shouldn't there be a simple way to just group and scale the whole character without messing up the performance inside?
View 2 Repliesi got have a bunch of thumbnail sized movie clips that i can drag and drop. reason for this is its a shopping cart.i really would like to have a big preview available without having to link outside of the page not extremely large but larger for better viewing.i have no current code that works at all for me at this time other then the one that loads in a new window/URL which is not what i want maybe bring in image or image url to inside window would work.
View 6 RepliesFollowing is the part where i am trying to attach the enlarged images that are already placed in the folder but i dont know what to add to make it work.

how can i enlarge the hit area of a button when i'm over it? i tried creating a movieclip ("mc") containing two frames; one frame ("normal") with a button including a small hit area, and one with a button containing a larger hit area (framename="over"). when i roll over the movie clip it sucessfully changes to frame "over" with the large hit area button (from root i tell "mc" to cange to frame "over"), but in fact only up,over and down state frames are taken from the new button. the hit area is still the small one from the first frame.
basically the thing i want to achieve is, that one rolls over the button, but will have to move his mouse farer away from the overstate graphic of the button, to release it. so optically the same button, but with a larger hitarea than the one you entered when rolling over the button in the first place, so one cant accidentally get off of it too early.
The Problem I have is that I need to enlarge my Movie from the standard 550 x 400 to an equal proportioned 825 x 600.But when I do that it only enlarges the one Frame that I am on in that moment. How can I enlarge everything at once?

View 1 RepliesHow to programmatically enlarge a flex 3 button's hitArea. Is there some function that I can override? There is no function in the button class called hitArea. What I have done is, I have created a programmaticskin for a button. The form of the skin consists out four arrows. In between the arrows there is nothing (meaning transparent). Because of the way the skin is shaped, it's difficult to click on the button. The skin has alter the buttons hitArea. What I'm looking for is a way to enlarge the hitArea and alter the hitArea shape in to an square. (the hit area must ofcourse still be invisible).
View 4 RepliesI'm working on a schoolproject and I have a flashapplication that I want on my site. In this image you see a horizontal scrollbar and a vertical scrollbar. In the middle are the photographs, those you'll click in the horizontal scrollbar and they will enlarge (with some text). That's the red arrow. The yellow arrow is the thing I wanted too. When you click a photograph in the horizontal bar en you hold em, you can drag that photograph in the vertical bar and drop it there.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible? What I'm trying to do is enlarge the hitArea for a selected movieclip on my stage, but only onRollover. I have 5 MCs on my stage acting as buttons of sorts. onRollover of any of the clips, they grow in scale and I'd like the hitArea to do the same so they (MC and hitArea) are proportional.

View 7 Repliesif this is posted elsewhere I searched but could not find topic. I would like to know if there is a way to enlarge the size of the target drop point. Seems the users have to be spot on or the shape snaps back.
Any way to give users a little more wiggle room with target drops?
I am making some buttons that enlarge and then fall back to their original size when you mouse over them. The font used is a pixel font and this blurs when you do the mouse over. Is there anyway you can make them so they dont blur?

have a question. Is it possible to detect whether the user used or is using ctrl+scroll to enlarge the screen? I was looking at an example of a mouse avoiding game, which could easily be cheated on using ctrl+scroll, so that the passages were larger etc.
Is there any way to detect this inside Flash, and perhaps prevent it?
I have a building type animation where many buildings enlarge then I want a small bouncing type animation once they do... I don't want to do this all manually as I have 100s.... Is there an easy way to do this with AS3?
View 3 Repliescan someone give me an idea how I would use a function to enlarge and change the alpha of a button but make it span over a period of time like it was an animation.a long time ago on gear78.com I think he used functions to make his buttons do what they did and it was badass. if I find another site I will post a link. if you don't know what the heck I am talking about tell me and I will try and explain it more.

View 3 RepliesI want to save a screenshot of my flash application at the highest resolution as possible ( 300 dpi or more).[code]...
Do you know how to improve the resolution ? Is there any encoder that can make higher resolution pictures ?
Is it possible to take a screenshot in as3 of a movie clip and send it to another file via local connection? I have been trying for a couple of days so far and still I am pretty much lost. I followed the byte array.org live jpeg encoder and tried some of the code he uses but all I am getting is the bottom right corner of the mc when it is sent to the other side. What is the easiest way to do this? I'm not even that interested in actually encoding it, just sending the image to the receiver.
View 0 RepliesI've exhausted all of my possible avenues for research and I am curious if any one has stumbled upon a piece of code or program that will convert a swf to an image format. It needs to happen at the click of a button within the swf itself. I've seen code for capturing the drawing API through PHP, but nothing for capturing straight pixel for pixel, not that a particular method is important. But at the very least all elements on screen need to be captured, ie. library items, input boxes etc. The method isnt important, I just need to get screengrabs of the swf at any time.
View 3 RepliesI'm developing some photo viewer app for some web site in flex 3. One of the demands made by my customers is preventing of their unique visual content from copying at least by standard Windows tools ("Print Screen" button). Are there any tricky techniques capable of doing this?
The first thing occurred to me is handling "Print Screen" button of keyboard doesn't seem to be as effective as my client needs.
The searches that I did on this topic aren't providing me with any answers...that I can understand anyway. =*) Here's the situation.In the past, I did computer-based-training using "a different authoring tool." One thing I discovered I could do with that tool--which really opened up new possibilities for me--was to use that scripting language to create a snapshot of the current window and save that image as an object/class. Then I could access that object, resize it, save it to disk, and load it in later. The result--for my training at least--was a visual bookmark of their location in the training should they have to save and come back later.I would now like to do this with Flash.specificially CS4 and AS3.If anyone can point me in the right location to get started,For clarity, the steps are:
1: Take a snapshot of the current Flash window / Stage. I'm not concerned if the snapshot remains "in Flash" or goes to the Clipboard as long as I can get to it in the next step.
2: Access that snapshot from where-ever it's stored.
3: Process the snapshot and reduce it to a thumbnail, etc.
4: Save it to a file that I can bring back into the .swf at a later point. I'm not real concerned about the format of the file as long as I can bring it back in later. How do I save it? I would love to be able to save it to the user's machine but last I checked
Flash won't do that sort of thing. Can I save it as a file on the server that the .swf is running from using perhaps a PHP call /script / page?
5: And, of course, recall the image to be used at a later point. I already have a pretty good handle on this from past experiments.
can i save a screenshot from a loaded swf using the SWFLoader class ?
View 1 RepliesCan pixels be read covertly from a browser window containing flash + HTML?(Is it possible for flash or the browser to detect a screenshot being taken?)What about for other methods of capturing pixels? (Like the one described here: How to read the screen pixels?)
EDIT: (background info)
A C++ application is going to read pixels from a browser window (which happens to contain Flash and some regular HTML and JavaScript). The browser window would like, if possible, to detect the fact that it's pixels have been read. The method of getting the pixels could be any (short of taking a photo of the screen itself).
On my website people enter, watch a live stream from a remote server (not my server) and when they click on a button it report it to me and what I want to add is the ability for me to take a screenshot of this stream at the very moment when they click that button and save it on the server. They question is how to implement so? Now I just have that stream in an Iframe that shows it as a .swf object Possible solutions I thought of but don't know whether will work are:
Embedding this Iframe inside a flash object that I will create. That means that on the website the users will see a flash object I created that all it does is to show the stream from an url I give it and when the user clicks on a button inside the html it will send the flash the command to save the screenshot now and then save it on my server (don't know how to implement it, so the second question is, if you think it will work, how to do so?).Second solution is to have an open browser on my server that when the user clicks the button, I send an ajax request to the server that will then order the browser to take a screenshot and save it locally on the server. (again, if you think this solution will work, tell me how to implement so).
