I have a flash gallery which works fine, the images for the gallery are determined by .xml files. Problem is when the image is not exactly the same size as the area defined in the .fla it defaults against the top and left, not the center of the space.
View 5 RepliesI have downloaded this slideshow but cannot for the life of me figure out how to center the images. The slideshow calls the images from an XML.I have edited the width of the slide show just fine but the images are still justified to the left.
View 7 RepliesI have loaded 11 pictures through an array and a loop and then tweenlite'd them so them come on the screen from the right and move across 'til the middle picture is in the middle of the screen.Now, I am trying to figure out how to make it so I can move them to the right or left by a press of a button, (bntLeft and btnRight).Three pictures show on the screen at one time. So if btnRight is clicked then the 3 pictures which are off the screen to the right would come on and center in the screen. And if btnRight was clicked again then the pictures would move to the left and the last picture would come on.I don't know if that is going to make sense to anyone but me so I have created a picture to show what I mean.I also attached a snippet of the code I am using in case you need to see it. (I can post it if you want) Attachments:what i am trying to do.jpg

My swf is 600px wide, and most of the pictures does not exceed that. However, some of the pictures needs to be presented in a larger width. url... solves the problem in a great way, by scrolling the images to the left automatically. (for example, check the second picture in Knut Bry's portfolio) My problem is that I can't figure out how on earth I'm gonna do that. Can anybody help me? Or maybe point me in the right direction?[code]

View 6 RepliesMy vision is to have a colored square at the top of the site Im working on which should span across the entire browser window. I have created a square 1280 x 100 pixels in size and imported it to the stage, alignment is set to x=0, y=0 ad alignment. The scene is the same size as the square I 've imported. When I view my Flash creation its displayed 8 pixels from the top left corner of the browser window. The flash file only contains the square and nothing else. take a look at the 3 files I've attached: issue-scrreen1-3.jpg. The first 2 screens are my Flash, properties and library screen shots. The third screen shot is my browser window.
View 2 Replieshi guys, basically quick rundown is:
1. container1-->bitmap image with bitmapData.
2. container2-->bitmap image with bitmapdata.
3. im using the latest tweenmax
4. have correctly added a 2 seperate scrollrects to container1 and container2 that takes the width and height of the stage.
5. tweenmax is only moving the rectangles.
I get the effect i want, however, it still lags a choppy animation. Anyone know how come?

View 4 RepliesIs it possible to lock components when using design mode in flash builder 4.5?
I have created a custom component in catalyst that acts as the background to the application. I need to animate this component in different states, and these are all done in catalyst.
I then imported the flash catalyst project into flash builder as a library. I was then able to drag the component into my application using design mode.
The problem is that this component has been set to stretch to fit the whole application.[code]...
I am looking to lock the over state of a button on a specific frame I have labeled. In other words, I only want the over state to lock on that specfic frame but behave normally on all other frames. Is there a way to do this with actionscript? If not, what is the most efficient way to do what I need to do?
View 2 RepliesI've done some research and determined that it isn't currently possible to lock the mouse into a flash application/game. People keep suggesting using fullscreen mode, which is great for a single monitor solution. However, I am developing applications that use 2 or more monitors, and require the mouse to be restricted to certain ones. Is it possible, when running flash in full screen mode, to restrict the mouse to staying inside the full screen app, so that it can't move to and click on other monitors?I am using AS3.I am also running these flash applications in Adobe AIR, if that makes any difference.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a website that will full scale the browser window with all the flash elements inside but I am having trouble deciding what resolution to design in and how to lock certain content to not scale.
I am trying to achieve the effect that will consist of a high resolution image as the background for each section of the website that will full screen. Content such as logo and footer etc should always remain locked. An example of this can be found at http:[url]..... If you shrink the browser window all content stays centralised and the top and bottom footer do not scale, although the central part of the site does change. I was wondering how this effect was achieved? How does some content remain locked and others scale. I really can not figure out what dimension size to design in and achieve the high res image effect for the site. I too will require a top and bottom footer.how that site was published and constructed that would be brilliant.At present I am playing around with the following code:
fscommand("fullscreen",true);
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "C";
I then know the publishing settings should be set at 100 x 100 percent and that when the swf is imported to the html to write the following style tag:
<style>
body {margin;0px:padding;0px}
</style>
I have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in.

We used Flex to build the web app below. It lets the user build an interactive activity and click "Publish as Flash" to save a SWF file on their local computer.[url]...
Problem:When saving the file, the "Save As Filetype" drop down is empty and end users can accidentally delete the swf file extension in the filename.How can we lock down the extension so it will always have SWF in the extension?
Technique 1? Set "Save As Filetype" to SWF by default.
Technique 2? Click "Publish as Flash". User specifies the filename. File is saved on the server. User presented with prompt to download file. File is downloaded from the server using the traditional browser windows explorer dialog box (the same dialog box if I downloaded a program from cnet's downloads.com)

I'm using a preloader on my website. The preloader works fine on Internet Explorer, however when I tested it in Mozilla and on a Mac (running Netscape) there is a lockup on the preloader. The screen will just sit there and the website doesn't load. Both were running Flash Player 6 which is the version I'm aiming for. I found that if I refreshed the page the site would begin to work, but I doubt visitors to my site would do this and I don't want it to be required to get my site to work.
Heres the action script - from the first frame of my launch movie
Code:
stop();
function loadSWF(theURL, theTarget) {
loadMovie(theURL, theTarget);
loaderInterval = setInterval(loadChecker, 50);
}
[code]....
As you can see I call the loadSWF function to load menu.swf into the holder1_mc movieclip. That function then sets an interval with the loadChecker function that acts as the preloader. This is where nothing happens on some browsers (yet it works fine in IE).
