Packing Fixed-size Rectangles Inside A Circle With Biggest 'zoom'
Sep 9, 2011
I need an algorithm to place a set of N rectangles inside a circle for radius R, so that they can scaled up to the biggest possible size that doesn't exceed the border of the circle.
I want to create a panel (or any other component) inside a component that has a 5 pixel border on all sides, but scales fully when the window is resized. I know I can set width to "100%" to make it resize, but that gives me no borders. If I put it to "95%",I have borders, but they scale annoyingly. Also, that only works for borders on the right or lower bounds, and not to the left or upper sides.Is there a convenient way to do this without having to write tons of resize-code (in which case I will not bother and just accept bad rescale behaviour, as it is for a private pet project).
EDIT: I know that I can just overwrite the display handling and set the positions manually every frame. I wondered if there is a cheap way to do it in the mxml-structure, along these lines:
<mx:Panel> width="100%" height="100%" </mx:Panel>
Coming from C++ and Java, I am intrigued by the option of setting something to "95%" and let the library work out the details, instead of having to write many lines of code, just so my text-area always keeps a 5 pixel distance from the border, but scales with window width.If there is no easier way to do it than figuring out pixel sizes by hand and setting the coordinates.
I wasn't sure where to put this post. I hope this is the right place.
This is what I want to do:
On screen resolutions up to 800x600, I want my Flash movie to resize to 100% width and height of the browser window. On screen resolutions higher than 800x600, I want the Flash movie to be a fixed size (say 800px x 600px exactly).

I posted a while back looking for a function to make one movieClip circle around a fixed point. The solution I was given (which has worked perfectly up until now) is:[code]This function is called repeatedly by a Timer (loopTimer) with delay 10.The problem I have hit now though, is that if I want to modify or reverse the speed of rotation at any point it causes a jump in position (because I am setting the x and y values directly, rather than incrementing them e.g. "x = ..." rather than "x += ..."). Can anyone see a way to modify this function so that I can just increment the x/y positions?
I`m working on a app that you can draw lines.....like circles, rectangles... my problem is when a user draw a circle for example....i wanna be able to paint (change color) inside of this circle. I`ve tried working on Shapes with cacheAsBitmap = true and Bitmaps with BitmapData but it doesn`t seens to work.
I have 5 rectangle mc's. All different sizes and different positions.I have a final size and position.I want to click on 5 different buttons and make the corresponding mc grow and move to the desired final size.
I have the following AS code to draw a single rectangle using mouse, but I need a different code that allows drawing multiple rectangles and the selection/exclusion of individual rectangles like a modeling tool (eg.: MS Visio).
I have converted some PowerPoints into swf files. I want to insert/link the files into the main FLA file. But when I do it the way i normally do it, it puts the PowerPoints swf at full size 1024 x 768. Is there a way of fixing the visual size (800x 600) of the swf within the FLA.
I was wondering if there are anyways to get the fixed size swf file when I build my AS3 only project in Flex environment. I can't use scaleMode="noScale" since my swf is very small. I don't want it expand it to full browser winder either. Are there anyways to do it?
This is my first time skinning a scrollbar and I ran into a issue. The button I click and hold to scroll up and down changes in size depending on how much content there is. Is there a way to keep the button from changing in size?
More Details:
For example if my scrollbar button was a smiley face and I didn't want it to stretch. I am changing my scrollbars globally by creating an instance of my custom scrollbar and applying it via the style manager in my code.
I have a SWF stage that needs to be resizable, as it loads content dynamically which may have different dimensions. Yet, I need an object (namely a 'Close' button) to keep its absolute size no matter how big or small the stage gets. I also need it to keep its relative position, let's say always at the top right corner of the resized Stage.
Is there anyway to do this? By default it automatically re-sizes according the the content in the target dynamic text field. I'd like to have it's size fixed, but I don't see any obvious way to do that in the documentation.
Is it possible to have a single jpg (1024x768) scale up & down with the browser window (no matter the aspect ratio, stretched to 100% browser width/height), while keeping the foreground content (most likely added via loadMovie) in a fixed scale and centered on the screen? An example can be seen on the Second Story home page.
Im trying to make a button to open a link, in a new window, at a fixed size and without toolbars etc.
Ive searched these forums and looked for variuos guides, but to no avail. I cant get them to work =(. I found a guide(which I cant find again o0) on Kirupa but it didnt work either.
heres what I came up with:
code1: Code: on (release) { getURL("http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/5747/screenie8ya.jpg", "_blank");
[Code]....
how to get these to work? or a guide on one that works? or simply a script that will work?
I have finally found a scroll bar that I really like the look of, made by Oringe (thanks knvb1123, thread: http:[url].... It can be downloaded here: http:[url].....
This blur scroller is set to adapt to the size of the main window, as far as I understand. I would like to know if there is a way to put the scrolling area to a fixed size rather than using the height of the main window to scroll? I basically want to use this scrollbar in a fixed size area of say 300 width and 400 height.
i've made a flash site that will be 100% in the broswer so it will be scretched and scaled this is not problem for me cause this movie is mostly the backround and some buttons the buttons will load all the other mcs ,like photos ,videos etc but i want the movie clips to load at fixed size and stay like this even if the user resize his broswer the main movie will scale BUT the movie clips will stay at fixed size.[code]
I'm trying to create a simple splash page for a site that has a scalable background animation, with a fixed size content animation that will stay centred for different sized browser windows or if the window is resized.[code]In general am I on the right track to achieve something similar to the example I posted? Is there a better method to use?
i have searched this and many other forums as well as the doc for the answer to this question. I have a flash movie in which I dynamically create a diagram at runtime. The size of the diagram varies, but I need to display it within a fixed size area on the HTML page. What I would like is for the stage to scroll dynamically based on the size of the diagram, but have no scrollbars at all if the diagram fits within the fixed area in the browser.
