how to make the preloader works on the full screen website/ fluid layout. I add the Stage.resize on the code for FYI When I added this code to the bar, it expanded to full screen, but there's no loading bar. The text is also no progress.
View 1 RepliesI'm basically a designer with no real programming background. I do understand some basic of AS2, but with AS3 I kinda have no clue. Anyway I got a problem that I have been trying to solve alone for quite some time and can't seem toI'm trying to write my own code based on the thing I have seen in both tutorials. I wrote the fluid layout part based on the first tutorial link, and the preloader part based on the code found in preloader.fla in the second tutorial link. So now I have 2 seperated swf file, which is website.swf and preloader.swThe thing is that once the preloader is done and the website.swf is shown, the fluid layout code inside website.swf doesn't seem to work. Both files has the fluid layout code, and the code works when u open the file seperately, but when it's linked together the code just fails.here's the code on the preloader.fla:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I'm trying to do a full browser flash site in which i want some of it's elements to behave like footers. Meaning that, as i resize the browser window i want them to always appear at the far end of the stage. I'm using swfobject and swffit but the problem is that if i resize the browser to be larger than the original stage width and height, those elements disappear.
View 2 RepliesI want to make a fluid layout for the website I'm working on right now. I know the basic concepts of how to center an object and keep it there, or how to stick a shape to the top or bottom... etc. But if there's a movieclip that I would like it to conserve its position proportionally as the visitor resizes the stage, how can I do that?
View 4 Replieshow to add scrollbars to the html? For example if the user is using ie8 and resolution800x600 so they can scroll contenct vertically?
View 5 RepliesI have been given a site to update/improve, which uses many AS1 and AS2 elements, and my team likes a piece of AS3 I've found for a fluid layout which tweens the site container to the centre of the browser's window, and we want to keep it.But at the moment, I have to load the AS1 site into an AS3 container in order to make this work, and this means we lose the deep linking, and it's really cumbersome loading 1 thing into another which is loaded into another...
Sooo, I was hoping someone knows how to translate this AS3 code into AS1/2. Is this possible? Does AS1/2 have the appropriate tween/ease classes? Here's what the container page looks (please ignore the commented out sections).siteLoader is the MC i'm loading the main site's SWF into. AS1 would also make this much simpler with loadMovie command.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;[code].......
I am using the following code on individual movie clips to keep the object centered in a fluid layout:
onClipEvent(load){
this._x= (Stage.width)/2;
this._y= (Stage.height)/2;
Stage.addListener(this)
this.onResize=function(){
this._x= (Stage.width)/2;
this._y= (Stage.height)/2;
}}
My question is this: Can I add/modify to this code to make the MC scale proportionately up as I drag the browser window farther open? Right now it stays centered but it stays the same size.
I have found a great resource for a fluid flash layout but there is one glitch with the site in that when it loads the content is all pushed up into the top left hand corner, if you then click rescale the browser it then fills the screen correctly but not initially. Here is the site: [URL]. The as. file for reference is with the rest of the files at this download link.[URL]

View 2 RepliesI am making a flash website and I am implementing a fluid layout. In the website I made a drawing program that is supposed to move along with the rest of the elements of the website when the window is resized. Now the problem is not the drawing program itself, ive got that working very well, the problem is when the canvas movieClip onto which the painting is being done is moved when the window is resized, the movie clip does not stay on centre, and the drawing is displaced outside the canvas movieClip and no longer happens on the mouse X and Y.For the sake of simplicity I made a simplified version of the drawing program with the fluid layout code and drawing code. No point in going through 200 lines of code when the problem lies within 10 lines of code.[code]The pink box is the canvas the user is able to draw on. The grey box is used to test the fluid layout code and to give coordinates for the pink box. When the file first loads both the pink and grey boxes are side by side, during the resize event they should stay side by side, however they do not.
View 1 RepliesI'm building a photographer's gallery website and I need it to resize to fit in browser window. So far so easy...What I would really like to achieve is a maximum and minimum size that the gallery will go to.
So, if the images I am using are 1400x1000 (for example) when this size is reached by the user expanding the browser window i don't want the gallery to expand any more, just sit in the middle of the page.
Similarly I don't want the gallery to go below say 800x600... how to set a max/min?
I have a fluid layout and I have buttons and things on the top right. When the person resizes the window down, they all jump on top of each other. How would I get them to stop after they get to the point of overlapping each other? If you go here: [URL] And go to their main page. When you resize your browser down, the elements stop at a certain point and just get cut off. How do I achieve this effect? I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of using an enter_frame listener to detect the x and y coordinates of these elements, and when it hits a certain coordinate to remove the listener that moves these elements. Can someone point me in the right direction?

ive been using this tutorial [URL] after following the tutorial everything works except when I have an image that is not on all frames, the fluid layout doesnt work on that image until I resize the browser again after I have gone to that frame, which obviously isnt quite right.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a site with fluid layout. I have three classes: Preloader, Main and Background.Preloader loads main.swf and has resize function where it can access Background like so:
Sprite(loader.content).getChildAt(0).y = stage.stageHeight -
Sprite(loader.content).getChildAt(0).height;
Main has an instance of Background.Background draws vertical lines. It uses fluid layout on its own. Works fine.Here is the catch: Background utilizes stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight,when tested with separate fla works like charm. However, when accessed thru Preloader throws this error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I think it is because use of stage but I don't know how to go about it.It also uses its own resize function.
So, what is the best way to put it all together? Where should I keep resize function? What I need to do with stage object in Background?
I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);
[code]...
But it seems futile.
I've set the publish settings to 100% width and 100% height and have then added the 'noScale' function into the first frame of my timeline. Here is an idea of what I'm trying to create:
I have three movieclips that are touching the left side of the Stage and want them to touch the left side of the browser but centre vertically. I can do this by adding the 'Stage.align = LC' command, but not sure if this is the right way to go about it.
The movieclip that is on top contains a logo and I want it to have a fixed size. I called the instance name 'logo_mc'.
The movieclip below 'logo_mc' is called 'container_mc' and is a strip of photographs that I need to run from the left to the right side of the browser no matter what the browser size. I need this movieclip to scale proportionally up and down as they viewer resizes their browser so the first photo is touching the left side of the browser and the last picture is touching the right side (without distorting).
The final movieclip is called 'buttons_mc' and is right below the 'container_mc' clip. This movieclip needs to remain a fixed size.
Obviously when the 'container_mc' clip resizes I need the other movieclips to move up and down to stay the same distance above and below the 'container_clip'.

I currently working on my first Full-screen flash website. My problem isn't how to make it 100% flash.. that was pretty easy. The problem is how I should be able to define where the footer is on the layout. Like have I done it now is that I just used: width="100%" height="904px" in the object. This have been working good.. then we are able to scroll down to the bottom of the website for users that have resolution < 1280x1024. However if a user with 2048x1538 enters the website it will look like this: [URL]
While in the swf it should just keep going down like this: [URL]
Tho the users with < 1280x1024 must be able to scroll down to where the city design starts.
This is my current HTML code:
<html xmlns="[URL]" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

I want to fade in the full browser background, however most of these tutorials I have seen have it loaded somehow with the BitmapData or another class, and when it is done this way, I cannot add any animation. Others, the background covers the whole browser, but it doesn't really resize, so most of it is just cropped out. Some, the positioning isn't always consistent for all resolutions. Some don't really explain how to position images in different parts of the Flash besides the direct center, top left, top right, etc. They will tell you how to get these spots, but not other spots.
Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
cover._x = Stage.width/2;
cover._y = Stage.height/2;
rock._x = Stage.width/2+265;
rock._y = Stage.height/2;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG() {
[Code] .....
The reason I chose to stick with this one is that is the positioning is perfect. Positioning looks the exact same in all resolutions and what not, so this is what I want. But as you can see, it uses a BitmapData class, so I don't know how to add any animation because the file isn't even on the stage. It's in the library and I get this effect by giving it an identifier. Also, the background doesn't resize. It fits the whole browser, but most of it is cropped about like I mentioned earlier. The video tutorial really didn't cover the best way to adjust size, so now that I have the perfect way to position my clips, I don't know how to resize them, so they still look good. I remember in another tutorial I was guessing random numbers such as:
example._height = Stage.height / 2.58430953;
I basically just plugged in random numbers until it looked closest to the way I wanted it to. The problem with this was that image quality was reduced.
The Background
- Must be able to add animation to the full browser background
- Background must be resized so that nothing is missing from the original image, not cropping to fill the whole browser, resizing to fill the whole browser.
Positioning (Not really a problem now but...)
- An easy way to position anything where ever you want.
- Consistent in all resolutions.
Scaling Clips
- A way to scale clips so they just fine in all resolutions so that an image with a width of 512 px that looks great in 1280x1024 doesn't end up taking half of someone screen's that uses a 1024 x 768 resolution.
- No loss of quality.
I have a list with tile layout,I have given the item renderer's width as 100%, but the item dosen't resize to fit the content . The same scenario works well for horizontal and vertical layout.
My code looks like this
<s:List width="{this.width}" dataProvider="{allActionsArrList}">
<s:layout>
<s:TileLayout />

is it possible to make the child elements of a vbox to occupy 100% of the width without indicating width=100% for each element ?
View 3 RepliesI've got the following situation, where I have an outer Vbox that is set at a fixed width, and then inside it there is a header made from an HBox and a content area (Canvas) that is much wider than the enclosing VBox (and therefore requires scrollbars on the outer VBox to see it all).
I would like to set the width of the header to fill the entire width of the outer container, but only the visible part, and to remain fixed so that when I scroll to view the content, the header doesn't move.

In a flex project that I have that is designed to scale 100% to the web window, I have a spark list. And I have a simple itemrenderer that takes the data and displays a name, and a message. Just think of it like a simple instant messenger display. The problem is that for my msg_txt label I want to give it a width thats the width of the parent list thats holding it.I tried turning the horizontalScrollPolicy to off, also tried width="this.parent.parent.width}" (as well as this.parent.width) for the spark label inside the item renderer. and in the label i tried some things like left="0" right="0" maxWidth="{this.width}" but nothing really does the trick.How can I make this label have a max width of the list thats holding it, AND make sure it resizes if the size of the browser changes and the list size changes?heres the list:
<s:List id="chat_content" width="100%" height="100%"
alternatingItemColors="[#EEEEEE,#E6E6E6]" contentBackgroundColor="#EEEEEE"
horizontalScrollPolicy="off" itemRenderer="renderers.ActiveChatItemRenderer">

I'm just learning how to do a liquid layout,I found one tutorial which gave me this basic script:[code]It does what the tutorial says, but there's an error in the output.
