I am using Flash CS4 and need to resize my Flash stage and all objects therein.
To do that I activated onion skin tool, selected all objects and all frames and resized by using the transform tool.
However, masks and some motion paths are not scaled proportionally.Is it yet another bug in CS4? Here is a video illustrating the [URL]...
How to rescale correctly a .flv videoclip? I installed the Adobe MasterCollection CS4.I rendered a video with 3dsMax2010 at this resolution: 1024x576pixels, progressive scan, pixel aspect ratio 1,0 square.I want insert this video on a website, initially small, and after, by clicking the FullScreen button, I want that this become large at maximum resolution...
I imported the .FLV file in Flash:ImportVideo> *.flv > Added SkinBarMenu with FullScreen Button > Replaced the remote address instead of local address: http:[url]......I rescaled the video at 720x405pixels and also the Flash Document to fit it.I included the video in the webpage with Dreamweaver, with FullScreen playback properties.When I playback the video on the website, it appears at 720x405pixels;
- When I click on FullScreen button, the video become up-scaled from 720x405px and loose the resolution?- Or at FullScreen, I can view it at the original resolution of 1024x576pixels, in the same manner as when it is imported in Flash?
- Such Flash video behavior, is the same as YouTube videos? (From small, it become hi-res at FullScreen, conserving original dimensions)?
I increased the size of my stage to 1280 x 1024 and now objects on the periphery have disappeared. When I zoom in they appear, but when I zoom out or export the movie the objects in the center are there but the objects around the edge do not appear. If I add an object and drag it to the edge I can watch it disappear as I am dragging it, but when I zoom in it is there. I have no masks and I need to create the video at the higher resolution, so I cannot resize the stage smaller.
View 3 RepliesNot sure the best way to do this. I have a class we will call DropActivity, here is the code

when the stopDraggingMe() method is called from another object (code shown below) I need to see all the objects on the stage to see what objects on the stage my currently selected movie clip is over and assign it to the dropCheck.checkAgainst method (that will be checked against an array to see if it can in fact be dropped, if so set the canBeDropped value to true and therefor run the .stopDrag() ). I have read using root is not a good coding practice in AS 3.

lets say I have animated a car entering the stage area from outside the stage. When I render the SWF at first only the content on the onstage area is visible but if I resize/enlarge the window I can also see the car(content) lying outside the stage just like in the flash file. How can I make sure that no off stage content is visible at all in the final SWF?
View 4 RepliesI am a newb to Flash CS5 Pro, so I can't tell what is wrong. I have multiple objects on my stage that I copied to create afull effect. Most of the objects perform perfectly, but the ones on the edge of the stagedisappear when I export to video. When I zoom in to look at them, they are there,but when i zoom out to fit to page, they are gone
View 2 RepliesI need to create an object in code which can then be imported to the stage. Specifically it's a circle with an ellipse cut out of it. The size and position of the ellipse masked out need to be parameterized by sliders, and the size of the circle as a whole is also a parameter which might be dragged out on the stage.
Does anyone have an example of how to programatically create an object in action script which can be imported to the library which can take parameters (or rather expose some methods) which can be wired to other things in the project like a knob or slider?
I want to find out how to find objects on stage in order to change their names, using actionscript in run commands.
View 2 RepliesI have drawn colored rods which I have placed in the library and have put one of each on the stage with instance names likeblueRod_mc, etc.I place them around with time-line code like
blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;I have now created an Actionscript class called Problem.I build a new object from Problem which I have called Riddle.But when I put blueRod_mc.x = 300.0 in a method (of Problem),I get the message that blueRod is not accessible.So I triedstage.blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;That did not work either.
I'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.

View 5 RepliesThe images i load into the flash website must be 50 x 50 pixels in the flash website. But if i'm uplaoding an image with for example 100X100 or 300x 92 the image doesn't rescale to 50x 50 i tried and i tried but i can't find the solution. I started with a mask, but because the whole news part uses a mask for the scroll content the image will not appear when using a mask 50x50.
Does someone have any clue what i can do? To have a view so you can see the result i mean see [URL] And then the option "nieuws" The first record got a image with the wrong idea the second one is how it's suposed to be. I'm using a xml/php file wich get all the records from my database..
I've been through all the tutorials on flash scaling and stage resizing and can't figure this one out. I have an MC in _y proportion to the Stage.height-40, so when resizing the browser I should always be able to see it.
The Problem: I know how to do this; by publishing the movie at 100% width and height - this works fine. But my flash movie is a magazine which is long, and requires scrolling in the browser to see the content.
As soon as I set the movie to publish width/height at 100% I can no longer scroll my flash magazine in the browser.
Is there a way to readjust the MC _y position as the user scrolls up and down; so the MC is always in view. So it'd look similiar to those pesky ads that follows you as you scroll away.
My code:
PHP Code:
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
resConfig = function(){

I have some FLA/SWF assets which are hierarchies of bitmaps.They have timelines which page-flip through different bitmaps.I'd like to scale these assets down in pixel-size, including the bitmaps they're composed of.I'm not a Flash Animator, but the artist i'm working with doesn't know of an automated way to achieve this. ie, that it's a long a laborious manual process.Does anyone know of a tool which can simplify the re-scaling of bitmap-based FLAs ?
View 1 RepliesI have a site that allows a user to upload an image, modify the image, and then save the image to their computer. This works fine, or at least it suits me so far. This is done by uploading an image to an empty movie clip, failcont_mc, and then exporting it as a jpeg once the user is done editing the image. The empty movie clip seems to be dimensionless, which isn't a problem.
The problem lies when the user uploads a photo that has very high dimensions. I'd like to be able to upload the image, then scale it down and keep it's aspect ratio if it's too large. I only want to be able to do this if the image is too large. For example, load an image sized at 800x600 and scale it down to fit into an area that is 500x400 while keeping it's proportions in tact.
Here is an idea of what I want in steps:
1. Upload the image into empty movieclip
2. Check dimensions of the occupied movieclip (previously empty)
3. if the dimensions are above 500x400
4. then scale the movieclip down while keeping proportions in tact
5. display movieclip
The code is made up of snippets from here and there on the internet, so don't be surprised if you see something that looks familiar. On a side note, I'd like to give credit to those who have allowed their code to be used openly. All of the code works fine, I would just like to add steps 2, 3, and 4.
Imageholder: failcont_mc
In the code, I have a big white space to give an idea of where I'd like to place the code. I assume the code is executed as it is read by the flashplayer. What I have tried so far was grabbing the width and height of the "occupied" movieclip and setting them as variables. I used these variables to determine if the width or height was the larger number. Then I used the variables to make a proportion to make sure the end dimensions of the movieclip stayed within the area.
Code:
//Allow this domain
System.security.allowDomain("http://localhost/");
import flash.net.FileReference;
// The listener object listens for FileReference events.
var listener:Object = new Object();

i got a main scene 20 fps.i want to load an external swf movie that should run at 8fps [code]is there any way to rescale the external swf file to 20fps without having to manually move all keyframes, and without making the movie play faster?(btw i got the fla file of both so i can adjust the external swf file)
View 1 Repliesi want to rescale my website height after its content height, hope this makes sensei have my website with a header and menu at the top and below them the content loads. the content for the first loaded page is of about 1000 px high, and for a third page is of mb 500 px, wich when i load leaves my browser with 500 empty px at the bottom, and u can sroll it in that area, seems kinda uncool.
View 9 Repliesim trying to resize/scale a movieclip based on the browser window.i sort of got it working. but my prob is that i dont want it to scale beyond the browser size when u just stretch the width or height.check it outif u stretch just the width of the browser the image enlarges which i dont wont it to. heres the code/formula used in a onResize
var mywidth:Number = 955;
var myheight:Number = 575;
Enlarge = (Math.round(Stage.height/myheight*100)+Math.round(Stage.width/mywidth*100))/2;

this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal; with that line of codedoes stage mean the loading of the entire swf is monitored or the loading of objects which are used on the stage are monitored? can specific objects (say a specific movie clip) be targeted?can externally used AS scrips be targeted? and what does "this" doe

When I copy layers and edit the objects on stage, the objects also change in the other layer(s).
How do I duplicate a layer so that I can modify it with the objects in the old layer being unaffected? There must be a really easy way?
I am creating a program and have some objects that animate from off the stage to on the stage. When I run the program in the flash player the objects that are off stage are visible. Is there anyway to stop this from happening. I suppose I could create a layer with a frame in it that could cover the off stage objects, but I am just wondering if there is a better way.

View 3 RepliesAlmost finished constructing a web site (my first) now suddenly, in all the files, none of the objects are appearing on the stage only their registration points(the white circles right?). If I isolate the object it appears.
View 21 Replieshow would I go about creating a flash application that has the ability of extending beyond its object width and height on a page? I've seen those crazy flash ads which beg you to hover over them only to have it take over 3/4 of the page you are viewing. How are they doing that? Is it a combination of Javascript and Flash? Or, is it actually a really big stage that is somehow hidden in the HTML? Or (better yet) is there a magic way of pushing flash objects beyond the stage and out into the HTML?
View 1 RepliesI'm studying the code for a vertical shooter game that is given in the book "ActionScript Design Patterns 3.0." The author is explaining the factory pattern and so covers just that aspect of the code -- doesn't cover hit testing. I would like to figure out how to do hit testing for this example because it's similar to something I am planning.
The code for the game consists of 12 classes, abstract and concrete creator classes, abstract and concrete product classes and a Main class. These classes instantiate the ship and weapon objects at various points in their execution. I made a separate Collision class and I'm trying to find all the objects on the stage using this Collision class so I can hit test them with each other. Here's my code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Is there a way to fix this code so I can access objects on the stage? Am I missing a cast somewhere? Or do I need a different approach to find objects on the stage in a multiclass game?
I have a problem with this code:[code]There are two overlapping objects on my stage: character_mc and vanish_mc. As soon as i start the scene [Ctrl+Enter] vanish_mc is VISUALLY removed. But the code still sees a collision somehow. How can i Entirely remove the object vanish_mc?
View 7 RepliesI'd like to be able to access some objects which are on the stage before compile time (e.g. in my .fla file). I can do this fine from the document class using the names I've assigned to them, but I need to be able to do this from other classes (instantiated at runtime) too.
What is the best way to go about this? Can I use the stage variable (this isn't looking likely from what I've read so far) somehow? Or do I need to pass in references to these objects from my document class when I create the instances of the class that needs to access them?
I'm having an issue accessing items on the stage from some imported code. I found this topic that discusses the same issue... [URL]
I'm not sure I totally understand how to go about this. I don't understand how to make the object global so I can access it from any class. (I have the same problem with an array I'm working with).
I have exported a page from InDesign to FLA that contains an InDesign multi-state object (MSO) and when I bring it into Flash and export as a SWF, the MSP just cycles through all the contained images. There's an Adobe KB that states that this is a known issue and that ActionScript can be used to stop the MSO from cycling. Does anyone know the ActionScript used to stop this?
