My client originally requested a flash animation to be used as an introduction to their website - it needed to fill the screen no matter what the computer screen size. This bit works perfectly - However recently:
it has been mentioned that when viewed from a large plasma screen, it views incorrectly, i.e., "the flash does not display, it only appears as a banner across the top of the page": ensure that if an swf file is viewed on large plasma screens, the animation automatically displays correctly - filling the screen?the final swf file has an interactive button that pushes the viewer to a website, so I'm guessing the option of creating a projector or movie file won't solve the problem
What seems like a basic question, but my flash knowledge is basic. Can I rotate an entire flash animation/document before/when exporting it as a (swf) movie? (The movie is going to be displayed on a plasma digital sign, which is turned 90 degrees so it displays vertically, but the creative must be supplied horizontally).
I'm trying to sell this metronome: [URL]. I've submitted it to activeDen.com and it has been rejected for 'aesthetic reasons' I noticed when I double click the swf file it opens up in my web browser and it is enlarged to fill the screen. This is bad since I use jpeg images instead of vector art and I do not like the Allow Smoothing option in flash since it blurs the image a little. So is there a way to make my swf file show up correctly?
Had a problem stretching the flash file to fill the screen in a projector movie. It is not made in proportion with the standard screen sizes. Is there a quicky way of doing this, without having to go into each element and resizing it. Its a huge file with a lot of cross referencing happening, and _root is used liberally everywhere.
i have a MC named "intro" with two images and a video inside it, and i need to make this MC fit the whole window, so it will be 100% maximized but keep the aspect ratio/dimensions (so the video dont get distorted and stretched).
but that will just stretch and distort the video/MC to fit the window... and i need to constrain the proprtions (like when you resize a video in a video player).
have created a gallery which has a button behind it so that you cant press any of the stuff behind it. Which all works. However, when I put it in html it only covers my flash movie and not the whole page which is really what I want.
How would I make it so that Flash will only tile this one line horizontally to fit the width screen, instead of the whole stage? (Right now it tiles Y as well as X)
Code: stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; var tile:Sprite = new Sprite(); stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, reTile); function tileBG():void{ tile.graphics.beginBitmapFill(new Tile(0, 0)); [Code] .....
I'm looking to do a preloader for my site, what I want to do is that the user sees the percentage loaded, but instead of the typical bar filling up, I want dots to fill the screen. Each dot would appear with each percentage loaded. So for example, if its on 5%, there would be 5 dots, when it moves to 6%, another dot would appear on the screen. So in the end there would be 100 dots/circles on the screen. maybe say in a 10 by 10 grid. I know how to make the percentage loaded appear, but have no idea about the dots.
I create a .swf file and wanted it to load/open automatically as a full screen. I tried the following code but it only works with projector or .exe files. Curently user has to press F11 to open or close as a full screen. Here is my code:
I'm new to Adobe Flash CS4. I'm making an animation of some fish underwater. I have 2 small fish motion tweened to follow a large fish from left to right. When I view the animation in full screen the small fish seem to be wiped off the screen at a certain point. The tween box continues to follow it's path but the symbol disappears. This only seems to happen with larger objects.
My question is what needs to be done in order to make a .swf file go into full screen without falling to a black screen when a movie is played? I have tried coding it, however I come up with the following error.
[Code]....
What should I do to fix this? This is not going to be an HTML file, however, so the initial thought of changing the publish settings does not seem to work this time.
I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.
So we're sitting here at the studio trying to figure out how to use the pen tool without a stroke. We do most of the work in Illustrator, then paste it in Flash. Unfortunately, some objects sometimes disappear while breaking the object down, which means that we have to do some actual touchup work in Flash.
I have an actionscript pulling data from an xml file. As you can see in the code below, I have textFields been created on the fly.I need to have the "resultsField" textfield to be programatically filled with the greater value from either "column1" or "column2".[code]
I draw a shape with the pen tool in Flash CS4. I made sure the shape was closed. But, I cannot fill the shape no matter what. Paint bucket tool does not work. Whatever I do, I get the red diagonal line on the fill color. I can fill a shape with the rectangle or oval tools but not the pen tool.
I've been working in flash for an independent studies course and I've come across an issue that is halting my class's progression. My Fill Color swatch is stuck as a transparent color and when i attempt to change it by clicking a color or typing in the color's code it doesn't change. Update:
-The issue is still there, but I've found that if I click the "black and white" option it enables the ability to change the fill color again, but only after that.-
-Another issue is that the color of text is also stuck on transparent unless I go into the color window, the box that allows you to select custom colors, and select a color from there.
When I draw a path with the pen tool, and fill it, it seems as if the shape now has two parts. If I drag the filled area around, it's breaking apart from the path (or border). So how can I make this one entity?
For example, I have a transparent png file, the shape is a car.In the png file, I only draw the white border shape.Outside and inside the border are all transparent.
I want to use actionscript3 code to show the car object with different color, it means only fill color inside the border, and for the outside of the border, keep transparent.How to do that?
So far, the simplest workaround is to prepare many images with PhotoShop, but it's not good enough for me. When I have many shapes and use many colors, I've to prepare many many images.Add more details:(Because I'm using white border, you may not see the basic png file if your background of browser is white)
how this site was made so that it fits every browser window completely, with no borders or distortion to the site? http:[url]....I want my site to fill the screen and the only way I know is 'exactfit' in the html but this stretches the file on certain browsers.
im confused with the grid fill using the deco tool,its options does not have animate pattern,so if u have links to tutorials pls let me now,or else shed some light to my confusion.
I'm trying to incorporate a "Send me a message" type of deal into my flash form on CS5.. After much research, I cannot find example code to send an email with the data from the "Name, E-mail, and Message" buttons.
This is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.
Trying to draw a triangle and then fill the color inside using the paint tool. I am not able to fill any color inside. Made sure the lines are overlapping, tried using the fill large gaps, made sure alpha is set to 100%.
I have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).
trying to create an animated preloader.how to do a basic bar preloader but what I want is to fill a swirl shape (attached) based on the amount loaded.I can easily enough create the movie clip where the full outline is there and then it fills up but I have no idea how to turn that into a preloaded and have it fill based on the percent loaded. Am I correct in assuming I can't use a mask because of the irregular shape?
