I've got an animation in Flash that's made of a number of large images - too large it turns out - flash keeps crashing and running out of memory.
I'd like to scale these down to 50% but maintain their on-stage size in Flash (or at least keep the positioned the same). I've scaled them down on disk, but this scales them in flash too (so messes up their relationships).
What's the best way of resizing parent movieclip without affecting the children? I have a container movieclip that resizes depending on the stage, and when I add another movieclips to it they also resize, but I want them to keep the original size,
View 3 RepliesI have done resizing and liquid flash sites in AS2 before. I have recently started to learn AS3. I have a project where I need to scale an image proportionately when the user resizes the stage. This is what I have so far. I kinda just stole my AS2 code and tried changing it a bit.

I am uploading different size of images dynamically but at the same time I want the stage to be resized accordingly to image's height and width.
View 11 Replieswhen i import a jpg file in flash and then resize this with the transform tool to for example 50% of the original size then im not getting the same result as resizing it in photoshop.if i first resize it in photoshop and import the image is smooth and looks the way i want but if i resize in flash the image gets edgy and not so good.so is there a way in flash cs 4 to resize the image with the same result as resizing it in photoshop or similar?
View 4 RepliesO.K I'm really confused about some resizing behaviour in flex and I'm hoping somebody can explain whats going on to me.I have a container movieclip 3 movieclips deep.MC2 is inside MC1 and MC3 is inside MC2.I have another movieclip that contains a bimap image that is 55 pixels wide and 38 pixels high.When I add this movieclip to MC3 the movieclip becomes 55 pixels wide and "48" pixels high.
View 2 Repliesi want to make a site similar to [URL]..but when i resize image on AS3 using simple MyObject.width=AnyValue the image always gets pixalated, even is the proportions WxH are correct. In the site i gave you, as you can see the images always get resized in a beatifull way without any distortion (not so munch) when you resize the browser.
So, How can i resize by code images loaded into my flash applications without loosing a lot of quality?.
I have searched forever trying to find out how to do this. All the tutorials or answers I find aren't quite what Im looking for so I figure it would just be best for me to try posting.
What I want to do is load an image dynamically into a movie clip either created physically inserting it onto the stage or using .createEmptyMovieclip(). After the image has been loaded I want to be able resize the movieclip with the image inside of it, or somehow get the .height and .width of the image or the movieclip with the image in it and then have it resize keeping its proper dimensions.
Ex: I have an image that is say, 800x600. I want to be able to load that image in dynamically into 2 seperate movieclips (one being a main display, and one a smaller thumbnail).

I've got a client who's asking about resizing dynamically loaded images in flash. basically i'm building him a button that displays dyn. text and loads a .png based on a variable (easy). I'm going to tell him that actionscript/flash really has no means of resizing a loaded image and that you need some type of server-side script to do all of that.
View 2 RepliesIn my Flash Application (AS3), I want to get the stage size and use that so my objects (which the user controls) can't go outside of the screen. However, when I use:stage.stageWidth;stage.stageHeight;The values I get aren't actually what I want. They give me the stage size, but if I resize the window, the numbers change as well. Now, in a html page, I don't think that will matter, because the user can't resize it... however, I'd like for it to be more solid than relying on the window size.stage.width;stage.height;However, those gave me "801" and "601", one greater than my actual stage size. Those values did not change when I resized the window, but they were one greater.

my stage is resizing all ok (keeping the aspect ratio) and im trying to add a nav img that would stay in the same position as i resize the browser screen
My main swf is 960x600 and loads full screen. it is a projector or swf, local. I have the code on frame 1 to ensure full screen and show all:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Then I load an external swf into a mc, and it goes full screen as expected. BUT the main swf that loaded that external one, at the time of load, suddenly gets scaled back down to its normal size: 960x600, on the top left corner of the Player Window (or the full screen), so somehow at 0,0. Whn I unload the external swf, I can put the code stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; to get it back to where it was. But unfortunately I have some buttons from the Main swf that are supposed to be on top of the loaded one, and should stay where they are. But now they all move because of this scaling down.
the mc that is being used as a container for the loaded external swf is an empty mc located at 0,0. The external swf has the same size as the main one: 960x600
I searched and tried things but could not get it to stay in show-all mode when loading this external swf...
im loading photos of different aspect ratios with a loader onto a child holder frame_mc. I wanted to know what AS3 commands do i need to work on to get the frame_mc to resize to the new childs dimensions and centerize itself on the main stage? (as in event listeners, functions, vars etc)

View 2 RepliesI've tried a lot of online tutorials for photogalleries but can't find what I'm looking for.I need to bring in my images from xml so that they will fill the thumbnails (if the width of the image is greater than its height then it will scale to the height of the thumbnail) and center within that thumbnail.
Then, when I click on a thumbnail, I need that image to fill the space allowed for the large photo (this time if the width of the image is greater than its height then it will scale to the width of the photo space)and center within that space again.In terms if centering the image,I have created movie clips for both the thumbnail and the large photo space (let's call them "imageHolder")and within those movieclips there is an empty movie clip called "image" which is aligned to the centre of "imageHolder". I thought that this would work:
imageHolder.image._x = 0-(imageHolder.image._width/2);
imageHolder.image._y = 0-(imageHolder.image._height/2);
But no such luck.
As for resizing the images to fit the image holders,
I have a movie clip object with a width of 306 and height of 194. I need to change the dimensions of the movie clip and still have the x and y scale set at 100. Currently when I change the movie clip width to 352.8, the x scale increases to 115.3%. I have to have the scale reset to 100% after I've adjusted the movie clip's width. Is there a way to do this in CS3? (this is all in design mode, not run time). Do I need to delete the movie clip and recreate it?
View 2 RepliesI have a box that glows when you hover over it and also there is a mouse trail.The problem is that when the mouse goes over a part of the mouse trail it stops the button from glowing. (as it will trigger the mouse_out)How do I get it so that the mouse trail does not affect the mouse over. Also, related to the same thing.....If I dont have it as a mouse trail but just random circles appearing in my box when you mouse_over how do I get it so that the mouse over is not affected when the mouse goes over one of the circles created by addchild?I have attached a small sample of the problem I've got in my actual file. Hope I've made it as simple to understand as poss.My guess would be to create a transparent movie clip and keep putting it at the top of the stage(highest level - numChildren-1). How would I do this?
View 1 RepliesI need to write a ByteArray to a file on local disk with Flash AS3. The flashapplication is run locally (it's a projector exe).
I found the FileReference class with the save() function which works perfect. The only problem is, that this function opens a filebrowser and let's the user select where to store the file. However - i have the path already as string and need to save to this location without useraction (since i'm exporting a lot of files into this directory in one go and don't want the user to choose each one manually).
Is there a way to store a bytearray from a projector to local disk without opening a filebrowser?
I'm also using mdm Zinc, which actually provides a function to save a ByteArray to disk, but this function is for some unknown reasons not working. I already filed a bugreport, but I need to get this to work very urgently, so i'm looking for alternatives!
