Professional :: Automated Area-sizing?
Oct 25, 2011
When using HTML and CSS you can automate the size of an "area" of the page an "area" is classed as a DIV and you automate it by setting its height and/or width to auto (usually height only with width given a fixed size)in adition you can set the DIVs overflow parameter
this is vital for CMS managed websites
does flash have any simple functions for achieveing the same result? or if i used flash with a CMS system would i need use AS3 to calculate the total height and width of all child objects and set this number as the height and width of the pearent object? (with HTML/CSS i would use javascript to do this)

I've set the publish settings to 100% width and 100% height and have then added the 'noScale' function into the first frame of my timeline. Here is an idea of what I'm trying to create:
I have three movieclips that are touching the left side of the Stage and want them to touch the left side of the browser but centre vertically. I can do this by adding the 'Stage.align = LC' command, but not sure if this is the right way to go about it.
The movieclip that is on top contains a logo and I want it to have a fixed size. I called the instance name 'logo_mc'.
The movieclip below 'logo_mc' is called 'container_mc' and is a strip of photographs that I need to run from the left to the right side of the browser no matter what the browser size. I need this movieclip to scale proportionally up and down as they viewer resizes their browser so the first photo is touching the left side of the browser and the last picture is touching the right side (without distorting).
The final movieclip is called 'buttons_mc' and is right below the 'container_mc' clip. This movieclip needs to remain a fixed size.
Obviously when the 'container_mc' clip resizes I need the other movieclips to move up and down to stay the same distance above and below the 'container_clip'.

I want to put together a flash gallery of photography for my photography business. I am very good at Photoshop design, html, css, javascript but I am a novice with flash. I can use it and use some actionscripting but my knowledge is limited.
I see galleries like this one: [URL]
The images expand and contract perfectly as the browser is resized. I am used to having to size pics for the lowest res screens (I design for 1024 width resos's usually).
What size should I make pictures to work like this... Does flash scale them down / up / either... are there quality issues with letting flash manage the sizing.

I have a flash document that I want to always take up the entire web page. Setting to 100% width & 100% height doesn't do the trick, because if the window dimensions aren't right, white space will show on the sides/top and bottom.
Is there a way to get the window dimensions are say if window height > window width : flash movie = window height (and vice versa)?

I just did two 100% Flash sites. I always size my sites 1024 by 768 or a bit smaller. I have never had a problem with it not fitting in the browser. I exported with Flash HTML at 100%, no scale.I tested these sites on Safari and IE on different monitor sizes. They looked great.
Both of my clients are using Firefox said it cuts the bottom off by about and inch or so. I did some research and this seems Firefox does this. I read this article below and wanted to know the following:[URL]
1 - Is this the best way to fix it? Or have I developed these sites too big for FF.
2 - Is there something else I could do (i.e. export the HTML a different way?).
3 - Should I size differently in the future?I would like to prevent me having to resize the stage and change all the objects.

I'm actually an artist who happened to stumble on flash and have been subsidizing my income with animation projects for some time.My question, query, bane of my existence is the automation of my e-cards.Many many people ask how they can send my cards. Up to now I have been manually customizing cards. whew.I would like to make the .swf files fully automated so people can fill out the "to, from, text message" and e-mail a notice to a customized animation.Is there a generic code I can cut and paste? Beyond basic html code,(seen on my site)

I have searched everwhere on the internet for a solution, with no luck, so I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.I am trying to make a kind of interactive tv. I have eight scenes and each scene has four choices of movie clips.A user picks one clip from each scene, maybe with check boxes. This generates a playlist which is loaded into a flv player which in turn plays the eight clips in order.

After all what I've read on this topic, I know that there is no way to do automated file upload from browser without some kind of "elevated permissions".But, elevated permissions is something what I have, bacause the application runs on intranet and user currently enables access to ActiveX control that makes it possible to do some document scanning using COM. Then a scanned document saved on file system needs to be uploaded.Now, the only browser requirement is IE7+ compatibility. But with IE8, the only way to set value to <input type="file" ... /> is manually clicking "browse" button.
Is there really no way to set value to input form field, even if the site is added to trusted sites and full access for ActiveX code is enabled?The same seems to apply to Flash and Silverlight, security policy makes it impossible to upload file without user manually selecting it. Silverlight probably could do it in OOB mode, but that is way toointerruptive if a user has to click to enable out of browser mode every time.ActiveX and Java applet could probably do it. If using <input type="file" ... /> is not an option, is there any lightweight (possibly free/open-source) ActiveX control that would handle uploading from file system?
updateI did investigated all the options quite in depth back there, and it turned out it's the paradigm of security model which makes it impossible to do automated file upload from the browser without user interaction. That means the use must either manually interact to upload file or confirm some ActiveX control or similar plugin to do that job. If you manage to find a way to upload without some special plugin with elevated permissions, you probably found a security hole, which will be fixed soon. However, that's the way web brower technologies are designed to work.

I've just been tasked with finding automated actionscript frameworks. Can anyone offer the best out there? I'm just beginning to write the code for my project. Is it better for me to keep my MXML and AS in separate files so I can more easily integrate with any frameworks....or does it even matter?

I' m having an issue with setting a button hit area.I have imported a bitmap image, and converted it to a symbol button, and set it a hit event.My problem is that the hit area of the button is more than what i want, I want the hit area to be only the bitmap itself, and not its whole extent.The red circle is out of my bitmap picture, but because it is in its extent if I press there it will invoke a hit event.

So I have an AS3 flash project with A LOT of assets, roughly 1000 at the time being but that may expand to several thousand later. They are all images but half of them are Animated GIFs so I can't import them at runtime. I considered simply dragging them into the flash project but I don't seem to have any control over the naming scheme. Basically, what I want to know is:
Is there a way to automate importing and renaming of flash assets, like "Import these 1000 files and export them for Actionscript with this name"? Additionally, is there a better way for me to be doing this? I've tried [URL].. AS3GIF but it struggles with larger animated gifs like the ones I'm working with (650x450).

We're currently developing a flex web app and our build situation is far from ideal. At present we're (as in individual developers) just building using FlashBuilder and deploying manually. The programmers are currently screaming bloody murder for two reasons, though:The lack of CI is like going back to the stone ageWe don't much care for FlashBuilder(Note: We're only using FlashBuilder because it was the easiest way to set up a flex project in conjunction with Away3d and get it building / rendering correctly -- it's a stopgap solution).As a predominately .NET development shop, we're used to doing continuous integration as well as continuous deployment. Ideally, we'd like to get something comparable to this for our flash projects without tying ourselves to a particular IDE.
Requirements:
The build process must be:
.. runnable via the commandline
.. runnable on both developer and CI build machines (and certainly not requiring an IDE!)
.. preferably as IDE-independent as possible (pragmatism will kick in though; if this causes a lot of friction we'll just pick one).
.. able to run on Windows (we develop using Windows)
We don't mind a touch of duplication or a few manual steps (e.g. tarting up the build scripts if we add a new project via an IDE, or generating one configuration from another if tools exist), but the less duplication / maintenance required the better.

Since at least cs3, Illustrator, InDesign & Photoshop has all had the Alt + mouse wheel zoom function. I have wondered when this would become available in flash. I just installed my cs5 design premium and immediately noticed that the zooming function has been further improved in the other programs but still nothing has happened in flash.
Am I missing some way to enable this zoom function or is there some third party plugin that can help me? It is annoying and time consuming to have to press z then click around to get the right zoom level and then click whatever tool I was using before instead of just pressing alt and scrolling a bit.

I have an 800x800px button within a 800x800 stage, in the up state only 200px of the button are visible, the others 600px remains out of the stage, the over state is a movie clip with a spring-like animation that brings the button to the left to a viewable area of 600 pixels (while now only 200px are left out of the stage). the down state is very the same than the over (without animation, so no changes in size at all).
The problem here is how i set my hit area: if I set it to be the size of the up state then the button works the way it's supposed to work but if i move the mouse just i little to the left (just out of the hit area, remember, same size as the up state) then is considered not to be on the over state so i come back to my initial 200px button. By the way if i set the hit area to match the size of the button once it has completed it animation on over state (600px of viewable button) I fix this issue but then I will click the button even when I'm out of the UP state.It's possible to place a movie clip inside the hit area so that it always mach the motion of the movie clip inside the over state?[URL]This is an early prototype of the site but you'll see what i mean, my buttons are the numbered tabs, when you roll over there you'll see they become animated but i planning to make this animation much more exaggerated and then is when the problem come...

I want to have 3 movie clips inside another container movie clip (the 3 will serve as buttons). When I scroll over one button, I want it to expand at the same time, pushing the other movie clip up or down, depending on where the user scrolls. If i have the three buttons that are each 100px tall for example, and the container mc is say 500. when the user scrolls on the middle button, I would like it to "grow" to 300px, while pushing the 100px button above it to the limit of the container. when the user scrolls to the top button, it would grow to 300px, the middle would shrink back to 100px, and all the buttons would still fit in the container mc.

We are currently thinking on getting our apps automaticaly built and tested through a CI server.My major concern is regarding UI tests.. I've been playing with FlexMonkium/Selenium IDE in Firefox but it doesn't really play nice with my app. I'm also testing RIATest 3 but I would have liked the Firefox approach better because it's easy to use for non technical users..A bigger concern is that my app is really complex, using custom events, custom components, ExternalInterface calls.. in order to make it all work smoothly, should I give an automationName to every single component ? How can I handle custom events ? RPC responses time

At the moment I'm using Selenium-Flex to write functional tests for a video playback app.At the moment, I need to test that the app behaves appropriately when switched to fullscreen mode - make sure that the control bar is in a reasonable spot, the video resizes appropriately, etc., and of course to do that I need an automated way to make Flash Player go fullscreen.
For good reason, Flash's security features prevent being able to fullscreen except in response to user input. Actual user input, a javascript callback being called does not count.Is there any way to disable this security feature on my test rig, so I can actually run my automated tests on fullscreen mode? Barring that, is there any way to put Flash into fullscreen mode externally, so I can hack it up to work that way?

It works by reading an existing Class file, parses it, generates an Interface-like .as file for it, and saves it locally, all from within FlexBuilder. It works perfectly but I'd like to improve it by having it automatically open, modify and save the files with only a few user clicks required.Currently I'm using FileFilter, but this requires that the programmer manualy select each file to parse, and then manually select where to save the output - it's tedious.Normally I'd simply use AIR, but because of my company's security policies I am not allowed to create my own AIR applications.
