I would like to know if there is a way of maintain the stroke size whilst resizing my object with actionscript.I have an object that imported from Illustrator with a 7pt stroke and would like that stroke to maintain its aspect even when resized to 10%
View 1 RepliesI am trying to scale9grid a button to preserve its rounded corners when resizing but I have run into trouble.The button is an ordinary Button symbol and it has 4 layered states (Up, Down, Over, Hit).In each layer there are some shapes (the outer button border, two background shapes inside the button for shading and then some extra outer border shapes to create the pressed down effect). The button contains no other elements,not even a textfield (the textfield is on the same level as the button).
The button is inside a movieclip (which also carries the textfield) that is of the same size as the button and is resized as by Adobe design when the button is resized (i.e. I am never manipulating its size).The Button is 35 high and the textfield is 25 high. They have their registration points both centered and placed at the the same coordinate.I use the follow code to resize and scale9grid the button:
popup.btnLoginButton.width = popup.btnLoginText.width + 20;
popup.btnLoginButton.scale9Grid = new Rectangle(10, 5, popup.btnLoginText.width, 15);
The above scale9Grid throws a Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.The same error occurs unless the Rectangle parameters are very small - for example Rectangle(5, 5, 5, 5) even though the textfield is much longer. But when the Rectangle is that small of course no scale9grid scaling is taking place.
I'm totally wowed by the resizing picture effect though? When each picture loads the loading frame resizes to the new picture size.It must be some sort of actionscripting but how is it done?
View 3 RepliesI'm testing this idea of mine, but so far I've not been awarded succes.so, here's what's my idea about:I want to load a big background-picture into my Flash, and then I want it to be resized so it fits the screen-resolution that the user has on his/her browserit loads perfectly, and - from what I can see - keeps it's dimensions.but it does not resize to the size of the browser as it should....if you go to the link, and then manually resize the browser-window, you'll get the resizing of the background-picture going on, though.here's how it's all build:I have a test100.fla with a test100.as Document Class

I want to create a website with a background that will auto-resize according to the stage size using AS3.But what i need to know before I do it is: What is the right resolution for the background picture?I want people with resolution starting from 1024x768 to view the website correctly and I also want people with 24'' monitors to view the background with good quality so I guess the image needs a high resolution. I started with 1936x1288 but when I resize the stage to fullscreen the bottom of the image gets cut off.

I want to make a picture gallery and use buttons that move you from picture to picture and backwards, but I don't want to tell button 1 to go to frame 2 and button 2 to got to frame 3 and so on (I hope you know what I mean)Can I use on button on a separate layer with the same action set? I tried something like that, but it didn't work:
on (release) {
thisframe =+1
}

but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to any action script other than gotAndPlay, easy functions and all that.
I am converting a Flash Web App to a Javascript(HTML and CSS) Web App. I have a cube rotation animation working but I have a problem with the perspective.My Problem: I am not sure which CSS attribute I should use to replicate the Flash versions perspective(please see the 2 images below). The 2 below images where taken while the cube rotation was occuring and you can see the difference in the perspective(the 2nd image is too wide and should look like the first). You can see a working example here(Note it only works onThe first image was taken from the flash application and displays the CORRECT perspective(that I am trying to achieve in CSS).The 2nd image is taken from my CSS, Javascript and HTML web app and the cube rotates with the INCORRECT perspective. What CSS attribute do I change in order to achieve the above images cube perspective?

View 2 RepliesI have a PSD with about 30 layered transparencies. I exported each individual layer as a PNG 24 with the transparent background in tact. I then made identical layers in Flash just like I had in Photoshop, and imported each PNG to it's corresponding layer at which point I converted the graphic to a movie clip for future scripting animations. Once I got to the 24th layer Flash quit recognizing my transparencies and my first Flash layer masked anything else I brought in from layer 24 on....but the layers above remained OK!! I checked and double checked my Photoshop exports and had several Flash "gurus" check my work. Nobody can figure out what is wrong! Is there a limit to the number of PNG tranparencies allowed on seperate layers in a Flash document?
View 7 RepliesI have a mp4 file that has a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels.When viewed in VLC it looks natural and in proportion. I simply want to convert the .mp4 file to an .flv file for web distribution maintaining the existing dimensions. I am attempting to do this with Adobe Media Encoder.The problem is that Adobe Media Encoder insists on converting the file to a 4:3 aspect ratio with a resolution of 480x360 pixels.Viewing the output in VLC results in a squashed out of proportion image. The output preview in Adobe Media Encoder also looks squashed.When I select the option to specify the output dimensions and manually set the resolution back to 640x360, in then adds to solid black bars on the right and left-hand sides of the video which is undesirable - aswell as making the video squashed. I have messed around with every setting and have had no joy in producing the output I require.I have a command line version of ffmpeg which is able to convert the video successfully (keeping the correct aspect ratio) using the most basic command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.flv . I don't want to resort to using ffmpeg at this point. I just spent $1200 AU to upgrade to CS4 Design Premium and want to use the nice GUI I just paid for :)

View 2 RepliesI recently used the loadMovie action to load a .swf file to a target in the movie which it was being called from. Then I tried calling a picture to another target in the movie, but it did not load the picture as intended. I read about it on my book, but it didn't seem to work. Is there anyways on calling a picture into a target in the movie without placing the picture inside an swf file?

View 3 RepliesI am not simply trying to contain things and have the container resize without the contents resizing. I would just use a simple MovieClip for that.. My main focus is on the use of BitmapFill. I'm trying to make a repeating background image for a container; thus far I'm able to draw my BitmapFill sprite to the size I want. (Which is the stage's height) but when the stage is resized, I want to re-size my container but have my containers BitmapFill crop or add more as the window is resized bigger or smaller. Allow me to illustrate what I mean:
I've got a simple rectangle sprite that fills with a bitmap from the library and a simple resize handler function that detects when the window has been resized.what I would like to do is have my rectangle resize to the height of the stage.stageHeight maintaining its bitmap fill, but not resizing the bitmap fill or any children within the sprite.
From what I've read, this is a little tricky because the sprite resizes in relation to what it contains.. or.. something like that.. I really don't know any more.. I saw one example where a person extended the sprite class but I don't know why or how..
in my library there is an image called 'pattern' and my code looks like this:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler, false, 0, true);

I have created an animation using illustrator files in AE CS3 and now want to convert this to flash so it will play on my website.The problem I am having (or rather my web designer) is getting the transparency in flash.
1. How should I export out of AE
2. Do I need to bring the video into Flash and export out of there to get the transparency?
3. Can this workflow even be done?
4. What is the best way for me to deliver the files to my web designer?
I have attached a movie file of the look I am going for. The birds were done in AE and I want them to move across my home page.

Overlay blending mode in flash on trasnaprent, imported images, doesn't work properly! It leaves dimmed black background instead of transparency. Same thing is in CS4 and in CS5. What is even more weird is that in Flash preview stage window everything is fine, and it works, but after publishing the SWF, you can see black background.I looked for workaround that...no success. No one answeres to this question.
-I tried with 24png, 8png, gif with different settings. No success.
-Tried also with After Effects, and then export to SWF, it works surprisingly.
