Actionscript 2 :: Change The Width And Height Of Textfield In Flash?
Oct 7, 2011
I have a Flash file, which has to be liquid. I have a header, a footer and a center section, which all are percentage scalable. My center section has a MovieClip called info_txt, and I'm trying to make it high 20% of the center_mc's height. I do this, but I also load a text in that field (info_txt) with XML, and when the text (xml) is loaded and placed in the textfield it doesn't go multiline, but stays nowrap.

I would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?

I'm trying to edit an HTML that uses swfobject to load a flash file.
What I'm trying to do is to reduce the size of the SWF file.
I've tried editing the height and width parameter within the swfobject(), but that didn't work.
I tried reducing the width height in the HTML css, but that also didn't work..
How can I pass a 'width' or a 'height' parameter to the swfobject so it will actually load the swf in a smaller or 'zoomed out' way?

I am looking at the SimpleButton entirely wrong. Here's what I'm doing (inside of a MovieClip):
[Code]...
the close_btn.width and height remain 0. Am I supposed to just rely on the DisplayObject members of the SimpleButton completely and ignore width/height/x/y or what?

I am trying to reference to top level (stage) width and height of the main stage for the placement of something located inside a movieclip on the stage.
My code is:
Code:
my_loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - my_loader.width)/2;
my_loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - my_loader.height)/2;
But this seems to just relate to the width/height of the mc that my_loader is nested in...
I have tried the following and had no luck:
stage.stage.stageWidth
root.stage.stageWidth
parent.stage.stageWidth
MovieClip(root).stage.stageWidth

I want to change the height of a textfield to 60 pixels, without changing the size of the text, and still keeping it centered. When I want to change the size of the texfield, I can change the length, but the height is unfortunately locked. Any ideas? (Unfortunately I can't provide a link or an image, since I haven't made 50 posts)

I'm attempting to load HTML from the Shopify blog API into a TextField in Flash. The problem is that Shopify doesn't add width and height attributes to images that are in the blog posts. When I load these into Flash, the width and height of the image is ignored and the height of the TextField is incorrectl, which screws up my scrollbar among other things.
Is there any way to read the width and height of the images as they are loaded? I could possibly do this with PHP before it gets to Flash, but I'm not sure how.

In a card game I use a TextField in the middle to display the playing table number, but also to detect if a playing card has been played - using myTextField.hitTestObject(myCard) - which means the TextField's position and dimensions may not change:
My current AS3 code is:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.color = 0xFFFFFF;
format.size = 30;
[Code]......
However the TextField's content (the String "#2029" in the above screenshot) is not in the center of it.
I can not set _middle.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER because this changes the width of the border (and breaks hitTestObject()).
Is there another way to align the text in the middle?

I am a newbie in Flash CS3. How to resize the width of of a movie clip according to the size the size of dynamic text inside it. I did it by creating a text field 'myText' and then converted it to a MovieClip symbol and named the MovieClip as myClip. The text in myText is assigned at run-time and its width changes according to the text.
I did it as follows:-
myClip.myText.selectable = false;
myClip.mouseChildren = false;
myClip.useHandCursor = true;
myClip.buttonMode = true;
myClip.myText.width = myClip.myText.textWidth + 5;
On doing this I find the clickable area changes according to the size of the text field but the text field doesn't appear at all.

I'm making a program like roomplanner at [url]..
I need to know how to change the width and the height of the movie clip. I know how to scale x and y but that doesn�t work in my case because i have for example an object which height is 75 pixels and width is 137 pixels. X scale and Y scale would work if my objects were 100 pixels width and 100 pixels height.

I know there have been several similar posts but of those I've read, there hasn't been an easy straight forward solution that will work dynamically. The solutions posted have ranged from
super.width = wvalue;
super.height = hvalue;
which I did not get to work, and it seemed from the response to the suggestion neither could the person who originally asked for help, to suggestions about using scale, all the way to having to create an event handler that will get notified after the load, which I guess would work once but wouldn't work dynamically.
Here is the scenario -
I want to change width and height for a MovieClip, but I dont want to scale it, (its more like cropping the MovieClip, not shrinking or stretching) and I want to do this several times not just after the load of the MovieClip.
So my questions are:
1) Is there anyway to do this that really works, that hopefully isn't totally convoluted?
2) Why is it so hard to do this in Flash/AS3?

Is there a way to specify/change the height and width of an image loaded from an xml file that will be placed within an empty movieclip? The movieclip will resize with the webpage, and what I want to do is make sure the images resize proportionally with the movieclip, but I can't seem to figure it out.

When the Tween takes place though it not only changes the width, it changes the height as if it were scaling it up in both directions. Why does this behavior take place? And how can I get it so that only the width changes? I have also tried using scaleX as the property but it does the same thing.

Is it possible to dynamically (not in the project's options) change the dimensions of the stage by using ActionScript 3? I'd want to create a 400x300px loader, but I also want it to load animations that have bigger or smaller dimensions. I would then change the width and height of the loader to make the loaded animations fit well. Is there any way to do that?

Is it possible to change the height and/or width of an MC after it loaded an image (xml)?
I made an upload page for images and a xml file to read the records from the database. So any image size is possible. but it must be like 100x100 pixels (just an avatar kind of size).
Do i need to do that with php or is it possible with A.S. 2??

I've implemented a video player to integrate into my Drupal website.
I would like to assign different width and height size to my swf according to the videos sizes.
How can I do it ? Should i pass back values from Flash app with an External Call ?
Can I retrieve the height and width of the video before to pass it to flash app, so I can set the html wrapper parameters in advance ?

Already I have one video player and it's width and height are set as 450 and 370 respectively. It's set by statically on its property field. Now I want to change the width and height of video component according to the specified value. Also the control box should be scale accordingly. But when i tried to change the video component's width and height while loading, it's not getting changed.
