Professional :: Can't Resize Object - Bio Comes Up Very Narrow
Mar 6, 2012
I'm building my website using a flash template i bought. There is some sort of object (it's called sprite 45) that is like a box (I'll call it the Mystery Box). It is overlaid on a text box with my bio in the text box. When I run the test movie for the flash file, the bio comes up very narrow. It's width is constrained by the Mystery Box. It's really narrow, hardly more than an inch, which makes it hard to read the bio. It's possible to scroll the bio up an down, but it's still too narrow. I'd like to widen the Mystery Box. However, unlike the text box, it doesn't seem possible to do it.

The company at which i work has recently upgraded all their design systems to CS5. This has given us endless issues with fonts. The main problem being old content opening up in CS5 reverting to Aria Narrow from either Arial Bold or Arial Regular.We develop elearning courses and do a lot of large batch exports of flash flas so this is causing us plenty of problems beause it is not guranteed that the 100 FLAs we batch publish are going to output the correct font.The majority of these files are old AS2 files and the majortiy of text fields that it occurs on are static ( we are in the process in upgrading to as3).I was just wondering with all the discussions of CS5 fonts flying around whether anyone had any similiar issues or any ideas for a fix.

I am just getting back into using Flash after not using it for about 5 years. I'm having an issue with the simplest thing! I want to be able to type pixel values into the Properties panel to transform/resize an object from the OBJECT CENTER as reference point. If I use the transform tool, it uses the center of the object as the reference. However, if I do as above and type values into the Properties width/height, the object transforms with the top left corner as reference. If I need two or more objects sized exactly the same, or if I want to do a "zoom in" effect, using the transform tool is very ineffecient!
My object seems to be showing that the center is set as the reference point (white circle in center of object). Also, the objects I am working with are jpg's and psd's imported to the library, and made into movie clip symbols.

I have a Sprite that contains opaque objects surrounded by transparent pixels. I also have a Rectangle that represents a part of the Sprite that I want to render using BitmapData.draw(). The problem is that the Rectangle that I obtained also contains transparent parts. How can I narrow the Rectangle to only include the opaque parts and ignore the transparent surroundings?
kapep's answer is just what I want to do, but the problem is that the source is a Sprite, not a BitmapData object, and I don't have getColorBoundsRect() on a Sprite.

I'm trying to make a labyrinth type game where you control a narrow spinning rectangle. And you have to navigate it through a course without touching the walls.
I've been looking for 2 evenings now and I just can't find any type of collision detection that will do this. I'm quite a novice so I'm beginning to wonder if this is even possible for me to accomplish. All the tutorials I find are assuming the player will be a square, circle or a point.

I am having a problem with the anti-alias that is applied to my text.I am using a sans-serif narrow font and this problem appears based on the color that I set to the text.From 000000 to c8c8c8, the font is displayed properly. From c9c9c9 to ffffff, the font is displayed with what I think is a lot of anti-alias, so much that it looks like it is bold.I have tested a different font and this is not happening with other fonts.

I have multiple rectangles, all the same symbol. I want all of them to have the same animation sequence; to zoom in when the user clicks one of them. Using a tween. Now, these rectangles are obviously not in the same position, so if they all have the same animation, the final frame won't be positioned in the middle, but most likely cut off by the screen boundaries. Is there some way in Actionscript to make the last frame of the zoom tween be positioned in the middle of the screen for all the different instances?

I am trying to resize an object inside a movie clip. In inside this movie clip there is two objects. One object is the main one that I want to resize while draging the other. The problem is that when I am calling the drag object it does not respond.

I'm making a resize function that has to resize a Project object that extends Sprite.
But I keep ketting a type coercion error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert AS:: Project@318ff89 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
I've tried casting the Project object to an UIComponent or DisplayObject, but this also throws a TypeError.
[AS]var resizeTarget:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
resizeTarget = UIComponent(target.getChildAt(0));
var myResize:Resize = new Resize(resizeTarget);[/AS]
So basically should I try avoiding the use of Sprites in Flex?

I need a script which can animate an objects resize through AS. I know that
on (rollOver) {
_root.reBox._width = 100;
} on (rollOut) {
_root.reBox._width = 50;
}
Will jump my MC "reBox" to 100px on rollover and to 50px on Rollout, but how do I get AS to animate the transition - basically a tween!

I want to center a big movieclip (1400 px wide) on my stage on stage resize. This big movieclip moves to the right on certain events so I can't use code like this:
currentPage.x = ((stage.stageWidth/2) - (currentPage.width/2))
Is there a way to maybe use its offset from 0 (the left side of the stage 'viewport') and use that offset in centering? The movieclip only changes in x.

I was wondering how to achieve the native scrollbar effect which TheFWA (thefwa.com) has managed to do pretty well (I am not a fan of Flex scrollbars).and implemented the technique, as I am calling a JS function through ExternalInterface every time, when the flash object changes size. This JS function simply resizes the div which holds the flash object, which creates the native bars.Unfortunately, when I resize quite rapidly (from 800 to 1800 height, for instance) the flash object simply gets warped for several milliseconds (as if it hasn't changed its size, but simply got pulled in all directions). After these milliseconds, things get back to normal, but the whole situation is really visually annoying.
Originally I thought that it's simply a timing issue, but after a bunch of attempts to set a delay, the effect was the same ... just delayed.How can I resolve that? I know it's technically possible. Just take a look at TheFWA, and see how smoothly flash and the browser are communicating with each other to make the native scroll bars work, without any flickering, or mismeasurement

I'm working on Flex component which can be resized using handles on the right and left (that is, if you click and drag the left side, the component will grow to the left, if you click and drag on the right, it will grow to the right).
Right now I am using:
var oldX:Number = this.x;
this.x = event.stageX + (initial.x - initial.stageX); // Move the left edge to the left
this.width += oldX - this.x; // Increase the width to compensate for the move to the left
But that makes the right side jump around, and generally looks ugly.
What is the "right" to do this? Is there something fundamental I've gotten wrong?
Edit: The jitter occurs on the right side of the component. When I set this.x, the component moves to the left, the screen redraws, then the width is updated, and the screen redraws again.

I developed so far, a function to resize objects (images, shapes) and center them inside a hexagone clip (similar to the bees hexgagon cells).
function imageResizer (b, maxW:Number, maxH:Number) {
var r:Number;
r = b.height / b.width;
if (b.width > maxW) {
b.width = maxW;
b.height = Math.round(b.width * r);
} if (b.height > maxH) {
b.height = maxH;
b.width = Math.round(b.height / r);
}}
Symptoms: The function resizes the object being passed to it, but, there's still some room to fill inside the square, but now it's empty! is there any solution to resize the objects with max width/height and still be able to fill the whole area of the hexagone resizes.

Is it possible to enable the user to resize an object in the flash movie?
What I want is a box for example, that can be dragged and dropped but also resized both vertically and horizontally. For example the user is able to drag the bounds of the box in a direction thereby making the box bigger or smaller. The mouse should also change to tell the user that he/she is enabled to do so.

I've finished my flash site using a resolution of 1024x768: my professor wasn't so happy of a resolution so "high" (even if today is something like standard) since somebody might still have an old monitor with low res.Since I really don't want to get a bad vote I wanted to change the resolution to 1000x550 because with that res a 1024x768 monitor still can see everything: then I've exported my .swf file and then into the .HTML file I've changed the width and height fields.

I'm trying to resize an animation I have larger, it has 12 layers, and 20 frames or so on each layer. I'm using edit multiple frames and selecting them all, and it is working to resize them, but randomly it will delete one of my objects for a few of the frames. When I scrub through the timeline after the resize, something is always missing, but it's always a random object and only for a few frames

I'm new to CS5.5 after being away since, I think, Macromedia was around. I just bought CS5.5 soley for creating simple, fun Android apps for my son (animated storybooks etc).
However, I'm constantly changing my phones and we also have a tablet and the wife has a phone with a small resolution.
What I'm wanting to do, is create an app that's at a resolution for my tablet (1024x600), but then also be able to scale it down to my Optimus 3D (800x480) and the Wife's Xperia Mini Pro (640x480)
Now, there will be bitmaps in there, so I didn't want the phone/Air resizing the app to fit the screen and using more ram and cpu than needed so I was wanting to create 2 or 3 versions all at different resolutions.

I'm doing and animatic movie with flash (means lots of hand drawn frames and many layers) I also have about 40 sequences
I would like to scale down my whole movie to a smaller size like 720*480 (actual is 1980*1080) but when I change size in "propery" window it just change the size of workspace and drawings stays the same size.
is there any way to have the graphics scale to the new document size without using "transform tool" on each sequence, because flash crashes when I do that.

I'm creating a Flash SWC for use in an AIR project.
I created a component which I tweened from big to small.
I tried sampling the width/height at different keyframes (using both flash actions and the flex debugger) and the object always reports itself to be the original width/height.
The result is that any content I assign to the SWC container does not resize when the tween happens.
Is there another way to put dynamic flex content into a SWC?
