Professional :: Can't Obtain The Stage's Sizes?
Oct 14, 2010
Situation:I've got 2 swf files,1 is a preloader which loads the 2nd swf file, my site.Both of them, if started separately,work correctly.Problem:when I put the files together,linking the site's swf to the preloader,I get a null element error and the site loads no correctly.What I've understood :The preloader is ok, because I can remove the error message working on the site's swf AS code.In the preloader's code I have some lines to center its animation on the stage, I do that like this:
import flash.display.Stage;
var myStage:Stage = this.stage;
then using myStage.stageWidth and myStage.stageHeight I calculate the clip position
Also on the site's code I do the same to center a movieclip using exactly the same code, but it doesn't work and I've found that the problem is the myStage variable, not because it has the same name as the variable on the other file (I've tried to name it myFrame).It looks that on the site's swf the myStage variable can't be assigned and then results to be null.
Question: How can I obtain the stage's height and width since var myStage:Stage = this. stage; doesn't work?

I've been messin' around with fullscreen flash and I'm wondering, what's the best stage size for this? Obviously, 550 x 400 doesn't work, but what's a good stage size to start from?

Im currently working on a project where I have a 92x92 pixel image that needs to tween into a 711x300 pixel image. The images are the same but cropped to these sizes via photoshop, imported into flash, then converted to graphic symbols. I want to have the 92x92 image tween into the 711x300 image.
I say tween, but the two tweens aren't working correctly, I can't seem to find a "crop" like function in flash that will let me adjust the large image for when its supposed to be small, then have it tween between the two sizes as i need them to.

I'm back in video after a decade long absence and I'm completely new to YouTube because I've been living on a continent that rarely even has Internet. I've got some old footage I need to put on YouTube, but YouTube's specs are a bit contradictory at times.Starting from the get go, I have several questions and I hope you can point me in the right direction. It sounds like an FLV file is what I should go for, so I'll base my questions on that. Don't hesitate to answer between the lines. And don't hesitate to tell me to change tracks.
The most clear export I can make from my old Avid editing program is an uncompressed QuickTime movie. I can't find anything in the YouTube specs about QuickTime moives. They don't say they're good. They don't say they're bad. Can I convert to an FLV file and upload to YouTube with good results? When I export non-HD material from my editing program, what frame size do I export?When I convert to an FLV file, what size do I re-size to? Or does YouTube resize whatever I send to them to the right size?When I convert to an FLV file, what's a reasonable bitrate for video? How about audio?Or do I even need to bother with the above? In one YouTube information sheet, it sounded like I could just upload a plain old MPEG2 file and YouTube would go from there. Correct or not?What's the benefit of an alpha channel? It seems like the files get smaller, but I can't get them to play at all after I've ticked alpha.I'm using Avid Xpress Pro 4.3 and have access to both AVS and TMPG 3 for MPEG conversion. I'm using CS3 from Adobe.

I have a dynamic text box with a paragraph of information. I would like to make certain key words a larger font size for emphasis. An example would look like this: The ever-changing landscape of the business world demands knowledgeable and skilled managers. We have been educating students about management best practices for more than a century to help them succeed in the corporate world. Whether you are looking for an online business degree to get your career started in sales, human resources, accounting, or some other area of the business world, we have the online business degree you need. Is it possible to change the font size for just some of the text inside a dynamic text box to be changed like this? I cannot get it to work properly. The reason I have it as dynamic is because it needs a scrollbar.

I have brush off my Flash skills. Usualy I work in FW but now I have to create a banner in various large sizes but with very limited file size so I turn to Flash. My animation needs are very modest: moving ease in/out, rotate back forth and maybe a fade. Have any of you guys have some tips&trix for getting as much (simple) animation with keeping a small file size? Or point me to some tutorials?

I am new to Flash CS5 and I am working on a Flash animation project. I drew everything in Illustrator CS5 and imported these drawings in Flash to do the animation. I have different scenes & exported them all as separate movie clips. I was thinking of using Final Cut Pro to make the final movie, but the video quality is not good & its pixelated.and whats the most suitable render width & height for tv screening ?

So I'm creating an AS3 doc with a lot of jpegs and pngs. I'm really new to flash and the last swf I made was 5.6mb, way too big from what I read. But I haven't been able to figure out how to avoid this...I can't decrease the images sizes anymore for quality's sake. Can I store the images externally so that only the ones needed for that scene load at that time?

I have problem with obtaining variables from php script.
Here is my php script
<?php
echo "&Files=1,2,3";
php>
And now in the actionscript 2.0
var GVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var Pictures:Array = new Array();
GVars.onLoad = lVars;
GVars.load("[URL]");
function lVars(){
trace("Files: " + this.Files);
Pictures = this.Files.split(",");
} trace("Array: " + Pictures.length);
Here is the output in the trace window
Array: 0
Files: 1,2,3,
As you can see the first is Array:0 which means that actionscript ran first trace
("Array: " + Pictures.length);
End then lVars function. I cannot load variables from php in correct order.

So I have a URL that I need my Flash movie to extract variables from:
example link: [URL].. I need to get the aID and the bID numbers.
I'm able to get the full URL into a String via ExternalInterface
var url:String = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString"); if (url) testField.text = url;
Just unsure as how to manipulate the String to just get the 1234 and 5678 numbers.

Can I get the obtain the size of the browser window in AS3?
The best method I've found is to get the size with Javascript and send it to Flash as a FlashVar. One limitation of this method is that it doesn't give the current size if the window is resized.

my mission is to select an item in a DataGrid instance with nothing but the coordinates on screen.
We are implementing right-click functionality in our Flash application, with the goal of being able to right-click a DG row, which would select that row plus show a popup window containing some context commands.
I have managed to get the right click event into my Flex app with the help of this site.
Further progress so far has been to obtain the DataGrid instance via
var objects : Array = this.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(this.mouseX, this.mouseY));
and then to investige each of the array's items, for one of those 'parent.parentList' refers to the DataGrid instance.
I couldn't find any point-to-item converter function or anything.
PS: Using the standard Flash ContextMenu is, unfortunately, not an option.

The company I work for has their own Flash based video player and the question I get from our execs is "Can we tell what website our player is embedded on?"At first, I hypothesized I could use Apache mod_rewrite, extract the HTTP_REFFER, and append it to the end of the requested URL. So as the browser gets http://.../viewer.swf, I could slap on ?However, I don't think our CDN will cater to our htaccess file. Plus, mostly all the access_log entries show a dash rather than the domain.So I'm casting this question our here to see if I catch any ideas or solutions. Currently, everything points to 'not possible'.

Updated! WORKING CODE
All I needed was this: stage.loaderInfo.url :)

I'm making a custom collision class, and I need to know the registration point of the targets so I can use the bitmap.hitTest(); function, and not all of my movieclips have their registration point in the upper left side, so I'll have to do a little calculation according to the registration point of each movieClip, but I don't seem to know how to obtain the registration point with as3.

for this project I'm trying to load a custom image into a loader at a specific spot and then place text right below it:
ActionScript Code:
package com.flashdo.flashblue
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code]..
the positioning of the loader is always as if the width/height of the loader was 0. tracing those objects confirmed that. how would I go about loading the dimensions of a specific loader into ac3?

I would like to write a flash program that obtains the viewer's IP address, then obtains the viewer's state, and then according to the state it shows a particular picture. So if I put this flash on my website and someone from Massachussetts looks at my website they will see a picture of a MASS license plate, but if someone from NJ looks at the same site they will see a picture of a NJ license plate. I am familiar with some PHP, HTML, java-script and I have done alot Flash graphics work but I have not done any ActionScript which will need to be used here.
