Professional :: Resize The "Canvas" Of A Movie Clip?

Apr 21, 2010

I'm wondering if there's a way to re-size a movie clip so that there's extra empty space (or even white) around it current size? Like changing the canvas size of an image in Photoshop.
 
Basically my MC is currently 687 x 481 pixels and I want to expand it to 980 x 700 (size of the document) while leaving the current graphics in their same location and position. I'd rather not have to re-create the movie clip entirely. Also, the MC is part of an entire website, so I can't simply change the document size.

IDE :: Resize Image Loaded In A Movie Clip?

Nov 17, 2006

I'm trying to resize an image loaded in a movie clip, so that any image I load will always fit correctly in my movie.The script is pretty simple, it reads an xml file where they should be 6 records. Loads the image in the Thumb attribute in on of the 6 containers eg. _root.screen.Event1

Code:

for (i=0; i < 6; i++){
MyEvent = Event[i].attributes ;
_root.screen["Event"+i].Title.text = MyEvent.Title ;

[code]....

It works but not as expected. It looks like only the container is scaled down not the image really.

Flash 9 :: Anchor Points In Canvas Resize?

Oct 13, 2008

I've got a flash animation of an extruding box drawn frame-by-frame for a "hand drawn" effect. The problem is that I now need to make twice as many frames to allow the box to extrude twice as far, and the canvas is too small to support this; the box would end up outside of bounds. I've tried resizing the canvas, but the extended space is at the opposite end of the canvas from where I need it. In photoshop you could chose where the added space "grew from" but I don't see that option here. Anyone knw a work around It'd be a pain in the tail to have to move very object in every frame for every layer.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Resize A Dynamically Created Movie Clip?

Jan 22, 2009

So I have a movieclip that I am dynamically adding to the stage when a user clicks a particular button. There are multiple button that each result in the movieclip getting attached to the staged and scaled to a different particular size. Instead of attaching a new instance of the movieclip every time a button is clicked, I only want to attach a new movieclip the first time one of the buttons are clicked and then scale the dynamically added movie to the size specified in the functions for all of the subsequent button clicks. To be clear, I want to attach the movieclip on the first click and then scale it for all of the subsequent clicks.

Here is the code I am using for the buttons:

ActionScript Code:
stop();
videosBTN.onRelease= function() {

ActionScript 2.0 :: Resizing Movie Clip Does Not Resize Text?

Jan 29, 2009

Imagine I have a movie clip on the main timeline that has text in it. If I use the free transform tool on this clip, it resizes the movie and the text within.

However, if I resize the clip using AS2 e.g. clip._height = x; then the clip is resized but the text isn't.

Is there an easy way of achieving the effect that the transform tool has using AScript or do I have to set all the text params separately when I resize the movie

Dear members and experts in Kirupa forum, first I apologize because I only join this forum just to ask this question . I already come across some flash forum but can't get the answer to my problem. If somebody from this forum come up with a solution, I may have myself a frequently visited forum. It works, of course... but that's not the problem.The problem occurs when I want to have button scrBtn that can toggle between Full Screen view and normal view.It is obvious that the image that I loaded in the movie clip will get pixelated.That's why when I click the scrBtn button here is the script:

Code:
scrBtn.onRelease = function(){

Actionscript 2.0 :: Resize Movie Clip While Scaling Its Contents Proportionally

Mar 4, 2010

I have set a movie clip with instance name if "body" to resize automatically based on the size of the browser window using:

body._x = Stage.width / 2;
body._y = Stage.height - 44;
body._height = Stage.height - 149;
body._width = Stage.width-20;

(that code may not actually have any relevance?)

What I'm wanting to happen is that when the "body" movie clip changes size, I want the objects within it to be scaled proportionally (keeping the x:y ratio the same). The result that I'm wanting will result in the contents (as a whole) being proportionally scaled to the height (because it will always be the smaller dimension in my case) of the current size of the body mc.

I've uploaded my .fla so you can see what im working with. The red square is the body that i've managed to scale but I have not yet added anything within it. (I have tried but it's contents distort when the body is resized)

Professional :: Duplicating Movie Clip Or Inserting New Movie Clip With Effect

Jun 5, 2010

CS3 Flash - Complete newbie to Flash and I'm trying to change an existing flash piece.It consists of 4 different text statements that appear on a Black background - the first appears and stays on-screen for 10 secs, then it starts to blur and fade away in about a sec, and then the next statement appears, etc, etc., and the whole lot loops.The 4 statements appear as Video Clips (Symbols?) in the library.I need to add a new statement, which means there will be 5 statements. I duplicated one of the library items and renamed it, which seems to have worked fine... but I cannot then work out how I insert that video clip into the Timeline and still have the same visual effects and timing as the existing ones? I can insert a blank frame, but then I can only drop the new video clip text onto that one frame.I've tried copying and pasting a whole set of frames, and then go in and change the text. Which I thought had worked, but then discovered that it also changed the original frames.... now understand that's because they are just instances and any change will affect the master Video Clip!

So can anyone advise if I can insert my newly added and renamed video clip into the timeframe and create the same effect as the others?Please keep any advice as idiot-proof as possible as this is my first venture into Flash... not finding it as intuitive as I hoped, spent 6hrs to date just trying trial and error without any real success.

Professional :: Control The Movie Clip Mc_allPages From Within The Movie Clip Mc_buttonMenu?

Aug 20, 2010

I am making a web site in flash in which I have multiple movie clips.I have mc_buttonMenu on the main timeline.Inside of mc_buttonMenu, I have 3 buttons that are all button symbols.From the main timeline, I have a movie clip called mc_allPages.In this movie clip, I have a few layers.I have the content layer.This layer controls how my pages display.I have another layer called labels.I labeled frames 1 to 10 as 'home' and layers 11 to 20 as 'contactUs'.I have another layer in mc_allPages called actions.I put a stop(); on frame 10 and frame 20 on this layer.I want to be able to control the movie clip mc_allPages from within the movie clip mc_buttonMenu.I put some action script in various places, but it never worked.I tried this action script:
 
_root.btn_home.onPress()
{
Gotoandplay("home");[code]...........
 
I tried placing that code on the main timeline, inside mc_allPages, inside mc_buttonMenu and split up into both buttons appropriately for btn_home and btn_contactUs.Sometimes the animation would stop on frame 10 and sometimes it would just play through to frame 20 and ignore the stop(); I put on frame 10 inside the mc_allPages movie clip.However, whenever I pressed the button ( btn_contactUs ), it never went to the frame labeled "contactUs" in the allPages movie clip.

Professional :: Make Movie Clip Non-clickable Unless Another Movie Clip Is Visible

Mar 22, 2011

I'm making a room escape game and I've run into a problem. When an item gets added to the inventory, I'd like the user to be able to click on the item to affect another object (e.g. clicking screwdriver hides screws and displays other image) however when I add the code to the item, if the item is clicked and it's nowhere near the object it affects, the image pops up and it looks really stupid.

So what I'd like to be able to do, possibly using if and else statements or whatever's easiest, is to only have the inventory item be clickable if the movie clip of the object is affects is visible on the stage.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Movie Clip Resize Yscale Based Off Dynamic Text Height

May 26, 2010

I'm using a tweening engine and I need to be able to base the _yscale % of a movie clip off the height of a dynamic text field that is slightly smaller contained within the movie clip. 52 pixels smaller to be exact.I'm very poor at math but I'm guessing so far that some variable needs to be declared to factor the percentage based off the height of the dynamic text field. And I just can't think of how to do that.What I know so far:movie clip height at 100% _yscale = 396 the 'buffer' space above and below the dynamic field = 52.So if my dynamic text field height = 0, my movie clip would be 52 pixels in height. And that percentage in _yscale is 13.1%.I just can't figure out the math for this and how to translate it into ActionScript.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Resize Image Inside Movie Clip Proportionally Without Losing Quality

Mar 23, 2009

I've made a slide show and I've been successful so far. However, I'd like to add some thumbnails right below the original image (original size).Here are some specifications of the thumbnails:Size: 50 x 50 px.The image sources of the thumbnails and the original image are the same.Therefore, I'd like to resize only the movie clips for the thumbnails because the actual image file dimensions won't be changed.I tried simply setting the width and height of the movie clip to 50 but it lost quality and you get jagged lines in the image. Does anyone know a good algorithm to resize an image inside a movie clip proportionally and without losing quality?Btw, I'm using an XML files to store the images so you have to include the Loaders and stuff, what I really need to know is how to resize images without losing quality.

Professional :: Browser Resize Of Flash Movie Mis-positions Objects?

Feb 16, 2011

IE 8 Flash CS4 v10 Windows XP Home SP3 (NOTE: The word "Resize" refers to an HTML change of the movie size;  it does not refer to a Window resize)
  
Objective: Display a transparent 800x600 flash movie in IE, stretching movie to 100% width and height of webpage but keeping the objects within the movie from getting re-scaled.  Objects are re-positioned at runtime via ActionScript with values meant to be relative to stage dimensions.
 
Problem: The movie resize is messing up the object re-positioning.  The movie is indeed stretching to 100% of the width & height of the browser window's client area, but the objects are repositioned relative to something else (perhaps screen dimensions, but not sure). Result: Objects which were programatically positioned relative to original stage size are spaced way too far apart in IE, in some cases off the screen entirely, though they were not like this in the Flash editor.Question(s): Why are objects which were positioned within the original stage dimensions being kicked off the browser screen while the movie itself remains entirely on-screen even after resize?  What dimensions/values are guiding the automatic post-resize repositioning of the objects? (These proportions appear to be different from the change in proportions of the movie itself.)
