Pasteboard Expansion Has Limits In CS3?
May 28, 2007
I'm using a very wide object in Flash CS3, and I didn't have a problem with the pasteboard automatically expanding to contain it in Flash 8 Pro, but apparently CS3 has limits as to how far it'll let the pasteboard expand, -2880 px to 3620 px or thereabouts. This means I have to move my object off of x:0 y:0 to work with it. This won't kill me, but it does seem to be a step down from Flash 8. Anyone have any news on why this change was made, and if there's any way to correct it?

So Google Play has come out with their new Expansion Pack setup, allowing apps to shoot past the 50meg limit. I've set up a 42 meg APK file, and tested it manually by placing my main expansion file in shared storage as outlined in this massive document: [URL]. Everything tests fine, but the problem I'm having is that Google Play won't download the expansion file automatically when you download the application.
Meaning I have to run a check inside my application, and download it in there. Now that's all well and good, but I'm working in AS3 + Air, and my native extension code that deals with the license checking needs to be altered to allow the extra expansion pack URL field to come through, but I'm at my wit's end. Long story short, has anyone had any luck with downloading expansion files in an AS3 application compiled in AIR?

I am new to Flash so please bare with me, I have some items that start in my movie and then go onto the pasteboard as well as Items that are on the pasteboard that I do not want to show in my movie, but when I test movie everything is showing including the items on the pasteboard... how can I just make my movie show the stage size and not the extra stuff leaving the stage and on the pasteboard?
Additionally, I have created a series of classic tweens in one layer starting on frame 30 through frame 60. How can I shrink just those frames and scale the tweens with them so they are proportionate to what I had originally?

I'm trying to work with a very long image that scrolls through a page. Piecing it together, it's roughly 12000 pixels wide. I can't view the image because the pasteboard seems to only be around 3000 pixels. Is there a way to increase pasteboard size?

Flash CS4. When I enter a movie clip to edit the timeline the pasteboard turns to the color of the stage. The result: I can't see the edges of my stage. This is only within the MC. And only within one particular MC (I created another one and the pasteboard stayed 4% gray). When I take the content in the bad MC (via copy frames) and move it to the good one, the same thing happens: Pasteboard turns to the color of the stage. I've tried SFT-CTL-ALT double click. No luck. Strangely, this isn't happening in every FLA. I know it must have something to do with the content on that timeline, but what that is I have no idea.

I'm looking for a way to change the color of the Pasteboard in Flash CS5 on a Mac.I'm talking about the Pasteboard (the blank area around the Stage).I found a shortcut that did it for CS3, but heard you can't do it in CS4 and CS5.I'm thinking surely that's a mistake because that would be absurd.

I'm doing some tests and I'm trying to create a simple presentation. It's not something I'll be using online. I just want it to present some things at school. Since I don't know the resolution of the monitor at school, I wanted something I could max the window and rest with the content (stage) centered. At start, everything was working fine but sudenly the stage started to be aligned to top left when exported and windows maximized. Here's my code:
[code]....
The bkg.swf is an external background I'm using... it ajusts it's size to fill all the window automaticaly. When I first wrote this code, it was working fine. Than I added some objects and MC's to the stage and now whenever I export the file it's aligned to the top left of my window.

Whenever I open a new movieclip in Flash, the stage size is distorted (should be a 600 x 450). It should be a rectangle and be placed in the middle of the screen. Instead, when I open a new movie clip, the stage is placed all the way to the left of the screen and I only have pasteboard on the right hand side. Because of this, I can't see the entire stage

I am doing an animation with a movie clip that needs to follow the mouse on the Y axis only smoothly and needs to stay inside a fixed dimension. (e.g. the mc could moves 200px left or 200px right maximum) And I want it to stop smoothly too when it reach the limits.

ive seen in a few places were pressing a button drops down a menu, which extends outside the size of the flash movie. So that it goes over whatever text is actually underneath the movie. Ive tried to do the same by just making the menu go below the movie, but that just gets cut off

If we have a Bitamp with more than 16777216 pixels (or one side larger than 8191 px) Flash 10 doesn't show it (Flash 9 and earlier has smaller limits even).One solution to this is to use scrollRect to limit the size displayed.OK, that works.
But Flash 10 has another problem, if we use any 3D property (rotationX, z, etc), flash transforms your MC in bitmap, so we can reach the above limit even when we are not working with bitmaps...A bigger problem is that although our MC could be really small (at least less than 16777216 pixels), when we apply a 3D transform like rotationX, the displayed MC can grows enough to reach the limit. And... we can't use scrollRect with 3D MC. But we have a trick here too, there are two ways to use scrollRect with 3D:
1. Create a 2D parent, then create the 3D displayObject inside of that parent.
2. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the 2D parent.
3. Create a grandparent container to hold the first two items.
4. Set cacheAsBitmap to true for the grandparent container.
5. Apply scrollRect to the grandparent container.
These methods are really differents, with the second I couldn't use scrollRect to avoid reaching the bitmap limit. I think that's because in the second we apply scrollRect to the parent and 3D to the child, so nothing breakes our child from growing.With the firs method we apply scrollRect to the child, and the 3D property to the parent.
Code:
var p: Sprite = new Sprite();
var c: Sprite = new Sprite();
p.addChild(c);

hey I have a large map in an mc and navigation buttons to control the map.
2 questions:
1.Does anyone know how to set limits on this? my image is w2200 h2980? stage is 1000w x 740h I am using code like this? Th buttons are either 1 or a 0 so i think the limit function needs to be in this section.
2. does anyone know how to adjust the script for zoom so that the image will zoom in n out without refocusing on a specific point. my large map move to a specific location as it zooms. it would be cooler if the the map zoomed in and out based on current location.

I am making a SUDOKU generator(ActionScript2.0), which would (for now) generate the full and correct sudoku table. To do that I need to use recursive functions for calculating all the possible values. The problem is that when I try to run my program I get this error :
Code:
256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.Is it possible to somehow work around this limitation?

Im using the code below to stop a page being moved past certain points when at 25% zoom on my page. This works perfectly however I have 50%, 75% and 100% zoom aswell. How would I alter this code so the drag limits can be different for each level of zoom.The code im using just now is:
pages.onMouseDown = function () {
// check if page is zoomed
if (pages._xscale != 25) {

I often need to divide quantities in recipes. Normally, this is straightforward: I have an array of items to divide and a total, so I can do something like
[Code]...
However, this time I have been handed a curve ball: some of the items have a maximum amount they can be. For example, item A has a maximum amount of .25, item B is maximum of 1, the other items have no limits. So if the total amount is 3, and I am dividing it by 3 items I can't simply set each one's amount to 1 (as I normally would, as the code above does). I need to set the amount of A to .25 so there is still the .75 "left over" that I now need to apply evenly to the remaining items.
So that means the other 2 items B and C would be 1.375 each -- but, as I said above B also has a limit (of 1), so B would be 1 and C (no limits) would get the whole .75 remainder, and be 1.75. So A=.25, B= 1, C=1.75 for the total of 3. My question is, even conceptually, how would I approach a problem such as this in AS?

I'm been working on a large-scale Flash game for the past 13 months, and a few months ago I was encountering an error message when trying to export saying, "Error creating Flash movie. There was not enough memory available." Here is a screenshot <url...> This isn't due to large videos or photos in the file, it's because theres a huge amount of frame by frame animation, so I can't just reduce quality.
I was off of a crappy laptop so at first I just bought a new computer with tons of ram because I didn't realize the software was an issue. This did not change anything (though I can run flash with less lag).
Then, I decided to do as much optimizing as I could. After a few months, all opimization possible as been done, and I have reached the point where I get the error again.
Then, I decided to cut the main file up into smaller pieces and link them together. This worked, but now some individual pieces require too much memory and get the error.

I have a datagrid in Flex 4 with a NumericStepper as editor for a numeric value. I can set pre-defined maximum and minimum values for the NumericStepper, but I need to be able to have different limits for each row in the DataGrid. How can I do this?
This is the code for the datagrid:
<mx:DataGrid x="0" y="45" width="272" height="525" dataProvider="{dp}" variableRowHeight="true" editable="true" id="equipmentDG" verticalAlign="middle">
<mx:columns>

but now I get a StackOverflowError when I click on the cell to change the value. I posted a new question regarding that here: [URL]

What are current pixel limits on bitmaps in Flash?
View 2 Replies
Nov 18, 2010
As I can read it from this article the maximum square bitmap Flash can handle is 4,095 x 4,095 (which results in 16,769,025 pixels and bla-bla-bla). So, they say if I try to go to 4,096 x 4,096, I'll fail. But I have tried to load and display a bitmap image sized 4,096 x 4,096, and it worked well. Then, I even tried an image sized 5000 x 5000, and that was alright too. What do I not understand? What are the actual limits and how to calculate them?

I need to set limits when generating a random number and this (code below) is just a temporary fix until I can set this limit dynamically.
The number is set to be between (0-4) by running an IF statement which sets a fixed upper limit. This works but I need the limit to update dynamically. My main goal is to use the numChildren property of an XMLList object (passed as argument) to set the maximum limit since the random number will be used by a loader when loading an image from this same XMLList.
Currently there are only 5 images in the XML file so this IF statement works. I would like to have the maximum limit update dynamically when the XML file has images added or subtracted to/from it.
