View 1 RepliesIn Flash CS5, none of the align buttons work (in the align tab, in modify > align, or with ctrl + alt shortcuts). Right now I have to take the stage width and object width and put in the x and y coordinates manually to align objects.

I want to align objects to the stage, so that after the browser window is resized, the objects/MC's are still in the same places (top middle, right middle and so on...).[code]But this has to be loaded from an external .as file as far as i'm aware.I need the above code to work on frame one of the flash file. How can this be done? i'm sure it's something easy like replacing the "public" parts of the code... Also does the obj part of the code refer to the MC name?

View 3 RepliesI've been putting off asking this question and have tried to resolve it myself since it would seem to be so basic; however after much frustration , here goes:Can a display object (ie an instance of a class loaded from the library such as a filled rectangle {trying to keep this simple} be positioned on the main stage by using the following syntax:myrecTangle.stage.align = StageAlign.BOTTOM;I have created a fairly simple class to load objects to the stage by class type (recTangle) and name (myrecTangle) and all works fine up to the positioning. The objects are created and named properly and are placed on stage; however, they are all placed on stage at 0,0 stage coordinates. I can postion them anywhere using x. and .y values but when I use syntax similar to that above they are still positioned at 0,0. There are no errors thrown. I have also tried to create a sprite for each, load them into the sprite and addChild the sprite to the stage. They are still positioned on stage at 0,0. Is the stage.align/StageAlign syntax peculiar to absolute main stage positioning or am I allowed to use it also for object positioning.

Does anyone know how to align objects (movieclips) to the stage, let's says I have a logo and menu positionned on left side and collection of pictures in middle of stage.
I want that after the browser window is resized, the objects are still in the same places but moves dynamically to left side without hiding to user view.
I have several .swf pages that are as2 that load in the upper left corner at actual size (800x600) the first time they are loaded. however, when they are linked back to (reloaded after first view) they are now centered and resize to fit the current window size.
I tried updating in the publish settings, but that only seems to be an option in the html tab, and I'm not using html for most of them (only my index page, which is still behaving the same as the rest of them!)
I am updating my website and using the navigation swf pages over, and the resizing centered option was great, but now some of my pages are html and do not scale and are aligned to the top left. for consistancy, I want them all the same. For pages that I did not re-use and just started with the default settings in flash (but using as3, don't know if that makes a difference) I am not having trouble with. they are actual size aligned top left.
This should be relatively simple, except that my entire movie (site) is TopCenter based. I just have one movie clip (some text) that I need to be top Left aligned & I can't figure out how to put it there, especially since it is within an MC that is centered and full-screen (liquid layout). This is my code right now (within terminal MC):
PHP Code:
// initiate postitions and scaling values for objects
//////The below is what I need left-aligned; current values are incorrect:
//_level0.terminal_stage.terminal.terminal_text._x = -440;
//_level0.terminal_stage.terminal.terminal_text._y = -315;
_level0.terminal_stage.terminal.terminal_bg._width = Stage.width;
_level0.terminal_stage.terminal.terminal_bg._height = Stage.height;
[Code] .....
The terminal_text MC should be about 20px from the left edge & 20px from the top edge of the browser...
it has been a while since i used flash. I have just started to try and put a flash piece inside a web page and i am having problems getting it to align to the top of the page. I checked to see if something in my code had padding, <br>'s or any thing else that might be pushing it down but I can not find what the problem is. I placed a simple image file above the flash and it aligned up to the top of the page where I am trying to get the flash file to be. I tried changing all of the align="middle" code in the lists below but that didn't work either.

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" backgroundImage="images/Login_01.jpg" verticalCenter="0"
horizontalCenter="0"
width="800" height="600" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" >
I need to align the background image in center, but its not working its going towards to left for different resolutions.
I have a pure code Actionscript 3 project in flash builder 4 and I want to align the stage. For now I have a sprite that I have set the x property to 10, but the sprites are in the middle of the screen. How to set these kind of properties in code? I suppose it's the stage object that needs to be set in some way.

ive made 5 diff codes to give the right positions on my mc's. but the code is all hanging on the mc's. Now i was thinking 2 put all code into 1 keyframe. So i think i need to write a prototype of it. It will be great if somebody out so i can understand more about how 2 write my own prototype for this. The file is just for study for me to play a bit with aligning mc's on stage. The code that is hanging on the clips are:

Ive got my flash movie set to 100% width & height, while the stage is set to no scale. Is it possible for me to align an mc to the bottom regardless their window size?
Just to clarify if firefox is larger than the stage, can i align this mc ( like a footer ) to the bottom of the ussers screen.
I am loading an image into an html textfield. The image loads fine, my problem is that Flash keeps wrapping the image in a <p> tag, so the image is never aligned to the top of my textfield.
View 1 RepliesI want to make my SWF be on the very top of the page, but beneath the header. The SWF automatically adjusts its size based on the browser's; I want it to take up as much room as possible at all times while still being able to see everything, which I have.
The problem is 2 things: one, I have something flying in and out (from the top) and you can see it in the white-space around the SWF when it is not in on the stage. Two, the whole vertical alignment thing. I want it to be DIRECTLY under the header, not centered.

I used the publish feature of flash but it does not seem to center the SWF in the browser. Why is there a centering feature on the publish settings under HTML tab if it does not center the SWF? It only works if you set Dimensions to Percent but that exposes the area beyond the stage and i don't want it to be seen. In addition that causes some movieclips to be improperly positioned. The Flash Alignment should have been disabled if the Dimensions is not set to Percent. Perhaps a simple script that centers my swf file in a browser..

When virtual_cube is loaded from another swf (whhich I have no control over) the use of Stage uses the loader swf.I know _lockroot is nice for when using _root, is there something similar for Stage? like _lockStage?
