IDE :: CheckBox Component: Increase Size Of Hit Area?
Mar 10, 2009
I'm trying to make selectable thumbnail images for a touch screen app where the user can touch the thumbnail image and turn a CheckBox on or off to select/deselect it.
The thumbnail images measure 100x100 pixels, and I want the CheckBox to be in the upper right hand corner of each image. When I go to the Adobe AS3 help site, it says that it should be possible to increase the size of the CheckBox hit area in one of two ways:
1) Select the component on the Stage and use the Free Transform Tool or any of the Modify > Transform commands.
2) Use the setSize() method or applicable properties of the CheckBox class.
According to this same site, if you increase the size of the instance, you also increase the size of the hit area.
I've tried both of these, and none expand the hit area over the entire thumbnail. In fact, neither seems to increase the size of the hit area at all. In order to select a particular thumbnail, the user still has to hit the CheckBox.

I want to use the checkbox component in my flash app, but it's really tiny. According to this article 1, the size and scale parameters only affect the invisible bounding box. Does anyone know of a quick solution on how to scale up (enlarge) the visual area of the checkbox component in flash CS3?

I need to implement a functionality where a user adds some text into a text field. Next if a user clicks on a button, then the font size increase/decrease so as to accomodate entire text in the available area. That means if a user has added just hello world in 12 px font and text field size is say 400*200 and user clicks on the button, the font size increases such that the text is occupied in the complete text field. Similarly if lot of content is added at a font size of 16 or so then clicking on the button reduces the font size to make it fit into the available text field area.

how to increase the work area of a flash document? Not the stage but the empty space around the stage. [URL] It seems to be limited to about 4,000 pixels wide regardless of the zoom level. This is a big problem for me as I'm working with a movie clip with a width of 8000 pixels and if I want to add text to part of the clip that's at 6,000 pixels in, I can't see it because its outside the work area. I can't shift the clip to the left to access the part on the right because if I do, the text area doesn't move with it. Is there any way to link objects together? When I select multiple items on the stage and Right Click, there's an option called "Break Apart" but I don't see one to join them or link them.

I'm trying to get an object to increase in size the lower it goes down the stage, and decrease in size the high it moves up the stage.
It only needs to increase or decrease by a small amount. Basically, it's for a game character. To ad realism to his movements, it would be nice to have this feature.
This is where i'm up to so far:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
I think I need something like:
if (object moves up)
decrease
else if (object moves down)
increase

how can I increase the size of flash CS4 interface? Meaning also to enlarge tools buttons, so they are easier to see. I have to strain my eyes, because all of the toolbars and text related to them are too small, for constant work.Is this possible? I know there is one way - to increase display DPI settings, but that would also increase the whole desktop, but I would like just to increase flash interface text size and if it is possible then also tool buttons.

How do you increase the size of an entire movie into an actual swf file? I note that increasing the stage size increases the "frame" that the movie opens in, but does not increase the size of the movie itself. I find a lot of stuff on the internet about sizing a flash movie using html embedding, and perhaps that is what I need...but what I really mean is change the size of the whole movie before it is saved as an SWF and within Flash itself. Is there a simple way to do this? I mean, once you have the movie in place but have simply not saved it to SWF yet. Again, I note that cghanging "size" on document properties enlarges the frame that the movie opens in but not the movie itself.

i'm developing an AIR application in Flash Professional CS5 and noticed that my .swf file size jumps from around 100kb to 900kb just for using TLF?! is this normal? that seems like an awful lot of extra weight for a few more options over regular TextField objects.

This PHP contact form works well and is very simple. I have one checkbox in the fla file. However, it keeps displaying 'No' in the email message field, whether the checkbox is selected or not. It should display 'Yes' if the checkbox is selected, and 'No' if the checkbox is unselected.Here is the PHP:
PHP Code:/DESTINATION--------------------------

I have a <s:Scroller> surrounding a <s:Group>. The scroller works, but I want to increase the vertical step size on the scroller. I've tried everything, but am having no success. Modifying the scroller.verticalScrollBar.stepSize value in the init function seems logical; however, this approach fails.

As the piece of music I use on the intro page to my site has become quite lengthy, I decided to stream it rather than imbed the file. I used (AS2):
var mySound:Sound= new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("melange.mp3" , true);
mySound.onLoad = function() {
mySound.start();
}
Which worked fine, the only problem being that after a certain amount of time (which varies depending on computer, bandwidth etc.) the tune will stop and then immediately start again from the top. After this, it will play back fine every time I load the page, until I empty the cache, turn off the computer, etc.
All this leads me to believe that I have a problem to do with buffering. Im thinking that if there was a line of code to override the default buffer size, I might be home free.

I have a small question about the size of images imported to flash.Recently I imported a series of png images to flash CS5 to be used in an animation, 92 images to be exact. Each image was 34Kb size. Before I imported the images, the FLA was 6kb, and after I imported them the FLA was 160 MB large. Now 33Kb * 92 isn't 160 MB, so why does this happen? Is there any way to decrease the image quality or something when importing, or do I have to do that manually when creating the images?
(I used photoshop, and the images have a transparent background if that makes a difference).

I have an animation that is contained within a movieclip. It is an animation of a car traveling round a globe. The car is set to a circular motion guide. I would like to use this as a preloader. What is the best way to get an animation to play in time proportionally as it is loading. i.e the animation finishes when the site loads. If this is not possible what other methods are there to create circular loaders as opposed to linear bars that increase in size.

Is there any way to prevent a movie clip from increasing width and height when its children go outside its initial bounds? The problem I'm having is that I'm adding moving objects to a movie clip which often go outside its bounds, and I'm also trying to apply a displacement map filter. However, since the bounds are constantly changing, choosing the correct mapPoint is giving me grief.
