Working With Movies (SWF Files) And Resizing
Feb 23, 2009
I have a 1900 x 1240 .swf file that has a set of buttons on each side. Each button calls for and loads a single movie into a 900 x 600 area in the middle of the screen. I haven't had any trouble setting things up so that the .swf movies, including a converted QTVR file, all load into that 900 x 600 area. One of my buttons calls for a .swf movie that contains a zoom-in and rescale - the link for how this was created can be found at Flash Zoom In Movie Clip and Rescale. The stage for this file is set at 900 x 600. When this Zoom.swf is loaded up by pressing the button, it resizes itself to 1900 x 1240. As well as being annoying, this obliterates the view of all my buttons and interface. I just can't figure out how to make it sit in the middle of the screen at a size of 900 x 600.

I have 15 movie clips that play one at a time. When the first one calls the second movie clip there is a short space (black screen) between the two which I have to eliminate. I tried loading the second one half way thru the first movie then tell it to play when the first movie is over, but when I do that you can see a disturbance in the first movies performance when the second one is pre-loaded. Is there a way around this so I can make 15 movies run seamlessly? They are separate .swf files!

I am searching all over google for an easy way to resize images but the problem I am having is that .x does not work .width does not work ._width does not work. ._x does not work. How can I do something as easy as changing the width height of a picture? I am loading the photo into a movie clip using the Loader class
var i = new Loader();
i.load(new URLRequest("a.jpg"));
// here I try to write a code that will change the size of the image.
photon.addChild(i); //photon is the name of the movie clip instance
And have tried. all of the codes mentioned above on both the actual movie clip instance and the loaded image on variable (i).

wherever I look for scripts is either AS 1.0 or 3.0... I used to work as a cartoon animator (didn't need AS at all) now I'm trying to build up my own site to show my portfolio. I'm having difficulties loading and unloading external swf files. Basically I'm a total newbie, I managed to figure out that you need an empty movie clip where it will be played, and the buttons themselves...

I am not simply trying to contain things and have the container resize without the contents resizing. I would just use a simple MovieClip for that.. My main focus is on the use of BitmapFill. I'm trying to make a repeating background image for a container; thus far I'm able to draw my BitmapFill sprite to the size I want. (Which is the stage's height) but when the stage is resized, I want to re-size my container but have my containers BitmapFill crop or add more as the window is resized bigger or smaller. Allow me to illustrate what I mean:
I've got a simple rectangle sprite that fills with a bitmap from the library and a simple resize handler function that detects when the window has been resized.what I would like to do is have my rectangle resize to the height of the stage.stageHeight maintaining its bitmap fill, but not resizing the bitmap fill or any children within the sprite.
From what I've read, this is a little tricky because the sprite resizes in relation to what it contains.. or.. something like that.. I really don't know any more.. I saw one example where a person extended the sprite class but I don't know why or how..
in my library there is an image called 'pattern' and my code looks like this:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler, false, 0, true);

I'm loading a few pngs/jpgs externally so they can be swapped out occasionally, and the issue I'm running into is when they are shrunk they become fairly choppy. Is there a way to have flash re-render them, or do something to smooth the resizing as opposed to going in and resizing every file manually myself?

I've got a little problem with BitmapFill, I'm trying to use a sprite as a container for various things and i would like it to have a filled pattern background. my problem is that i want it to resize the sprite to the height of the window but not have the background fill resize, and add more / crop as the window size is changed. to illustrate what i mean, please view the diagram attached to this post .
I have an image in my library called 'pattern' and my code is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

I have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far

I have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script
[Code]...
However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?

I've downloaded some animated .gif images. When I try to import them to Flash and add them to the libary, and then onto my animation, they don't move, just stay still like normal images. Why is this? I've seen people import things such as boats moving across the sea in .gif files and they work in flash, why aren't mine?

I have to work with arather large XML file (about 25Mo).From that XML file (which I CAN'T touch in any manner), I actually need only a couple attributes in each nodes.Parsing the whole XML to load the data will (of course) lead to a "A script in this move is causing Flash Player to run slowly..."Ideally, I would like to browse the XML, only parsing data needed (like you would do in a database...without having to load the whole database before ;-)But I think this is not possible? Isn't it?So, I was wondering: why shouldn't I treat it like a text file, reading it and taking only the info needed from the file?The problem is that I don't exactly see how to do ;-)Following is a copy paste of the first node only...how would you do to read this text and put in an array:name, cloneof and description?etecting the node name, checking that it exists(i.e 'cloneof" isn't present in each node), and filling the array with the value
Code:
<game name="puckmana" sourcefile="pacman.c" cloneof="puckman" romof="puckman">
<description>PuckMan (Japan set 2)</description>

I'm trying to learn more about flash, and have found a couple of useful sites.However, I'm having trouble working out how to use their source files, and wondered if anyone here might be able to help please.url...I can't work out how to compile it - I know I need the Five3D files (url...), but even when I download that, and then create a .fla file in the same directory, nothing happens.I am probably missing something very obvious, but I can't work out what to do.There is a .fla file, but there is NOTHING in there that links to the .as file - there is no ActionScript at all I can see if the FLA file, that links to the .as file.

I have an FLA file that is one frame. ActionScript 3 code runs a few functions and when you click on things, other functions run. Pretty basic...I have some buttons and sprites that I would like to use with the external.AS file found here for tool tips: [URL] for my buttons and sprites.If I save the Tool Tip code at the thread above as 'tooltip.as', how do I use that in my FLA? Since I am using an FLA with Actions in Frame 1, I'm not using 'package' keyword... it just starts with import flash.display.Sprite; and goes on to set variables and functions. I'm not using a document class.

I am trying to debug the Flex application. I am able to set breakpoints in mxml file, and application breaks on those breakpoints. But when I set breakpoint in as files, I don't see the breakpoint marker, though in breakpoints window I am shown the line no. And when I start my debugging session, the application does not break at that point.

I had to change my global settings to be able to view my project on my local machine (clicking on index.html and have it open with explorer). Everything runs fine, locally.Videos play, music sings, everything is great.I put it online, no videos will play.All files are where they should be. I've checked 50 times and will do #51 soon.My swf does do some activex calls (this will eventually only be run locally on machines in a wrapper so its like a kiosk)

I have a page in flash 8 that I want to add a preloader to. I have a movie clip with the instance name bioLoader, and this is my code (applied to the bioLoader movieclip, not a frame):
Code:
Select allonClipEvent (load){
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
}onClipEvent (enterFrame){
loaded = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded / total * 100);
[Code] .....
The preloader is on it's own frame and has a stop action on the same frame. There is also a stop action on the first frame of the preloader movie clip. I'm confused because this same preloader has worked on every single other page I've added it to. Another thing is, I believe it is working, but it doesn't show up until the movie is loaded, considering it flickers when the movie plays (and the dynamic textbox shows 100%). In this same swf, I'm loading in text files with loadVars.

I have two class files that extend to movieclips......one targets _root.scrolling_mc, the other _root.messages_mc. I have multiple movieclips throughout the presentation with instance names scrolling_mc and messages_mc. This is where it gets interesting. After navigating from a scene with scrolling_mc to a scene with messages_mc, some of the behaviour of the scrolling_mc is still triggering. Its almost as if both class files are working side by side.
