In AS3, I have a Sprite that has a Z axis rotation applied.How do I calculate that Sprite's dimensions (it's original size) from Sprite.rotationZ and Sprite.getRect(...)?
View 2 RepliesI have a website that is Flash based and the HTML dimensions are set to "Percent" to fill the user's screen. I want to display an FLV on this site but it too is scaled depending on the user's screen resolution and the video quality is compromised.
I am trying to find a way to display this FLV and scale it to its original dimensions of 600X400 regardless of screen resolution.
What do I have to write to keep the movieclip not to change dimensions if the user starts playing with the dimensions of his screen ? I remember it was a line of as3 written at the beginning.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to write the RECT structure described on page 20 of the SWF specification to a ByteArray. I started with some Java code from Adobe that does the same thing (but in Java, not AS3).
This is my adaptation so far:
PHP Code:
public static function writeRect(bytes:ByteArray, rect:Rectangle):void {
bitPos = 8;
currentByte = 0;
var left:int = rect.left * 20;
var right:int = rect.right * 20;
var top:int = rect.top * 20;
[Code] .....
It seems like the right calls are being made to writeBits, because the values make sense as multiplied forms of the Rectangle dimensions:
Code:
writeBits 14 5
writeBits 0 14
writeBits 8000 14
writeBits 0 14
writeBits 5000 14
So, something seems to be wrong with how it's writing the last field (or how it does its bit/byte position bookkeeping overall), but I've been trying to debug this code for quite a while without any luck.
I have a generalized media player web app that I wish to be able to use flash in. The client uploads the flash to a particular directory, and a webpage is produced automatically that houses that flash file. The output of this process currently looks something like this:

<PARAM value="always" name="allowScriptAccess" />

I am trying to get the flash to display using the original canvas size (540 x 400 by default) but every time I load this in chrome I get 300 x 150 and in IE the box is square.
how to get it to render using the flash canvas size?
I know you can find the entire width and height of the SWF itself, but I want to find the document dimensions that were set (in the Document Properties) by the author of that SWF
View 2 RepliesThe link elements I'm talking about are single words, so they are not wrapped inside the container, which means that they should have a single bounding rectangle. But how do I go about finding this rectangle? I'm familiar with Flex3 but don't know enough about the new Text Layout Engine in Flex4.

I have a long log in a simple TextField, simply adding new lines of text when needed. I wanted to make some of the lines different color but while adding new line (simply as myTextField.text += '' + log; ) all the previous text formatting is erased. There is a tiny note in the doc:Notice that any text inserted manually by the user, or replaced by means of the replaceSelectedText() method, receives the text field's default formatting for new text, and not the formatting specified for the text insertion point.If I get it right the I want to load an image using loadMovie,.. and then dynamically draw a border arround it... but i need to get the dimensions of the pic...I dont know why btusing_root.container.img.pic._width isn't working...

View 3 RepliesI have about 50 QuickTime movies that are different dimensions. I need to export them to be FLV's and I need them to all be the same dimension. I want to put them in a queue so I don't have to do each one manually. Is there a software that I can use to do this?
View 2 Replieshello everybody. I have a very weird problem. Recently my Flash IDE started to mess up dimensions. I mean when I create a new document or a rectangle for example, even if I set the height and width to the same value the height is always bigger than the width... I tried re-installing Flash CS4 again but that didn't solve the problem...

My movie is 500 by 200 px. However i am loading display object much larger than that and have just a portion of them show. How do i programatically get the visible dimesions? root.stage.width gives me the extended value.
for the sake of good programing practices i dont want to hardcore the values.
If you include a flash file via:

<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">

View 1 RepliesI've created an empty movieclip in _root and loaded an image into it but whenever I do trace(_root.newMC._width) I get a 0! I've had this problem in the past but never really looked into it!
I have the following code:
Code:
with _root {
createEmptyMovieClip("file", 0).loadMovie("someimg.jpg");
["file"]._x = (Stage.width - ["file"]._width) / 2;
["file"]._y = (Stage.height - ["file"]._height) / 2;
lineStyle(3, 000000, 100);
[Code] .....
The problem I'm having with this is that when it looks for Stage.width it's actually trying to find _root.Stage.width. How do I get around that without breaking out of the 'with'?

View 3 RepliesHow do I programatically get the pixel dimensions of my SWF. I tried using stage.width and stage.height, but this seems to be a tight bounding box on all the objects in the video, not the actual viewing area. I also want these pixel dimensions to be accurate as javascript dynamically resizes this SWF.

View 4 RepliesI've just finished working on an extensive HD intro for my website, which is in 1280x720 resolution.
At the moment, my site has a splash page with 3 buttons on it:
B1) opens the site in fullscreen mode
B2) opens the site in normal window mode
B3) opens a new browser window linking to my intro
Here's the AS code I'm using for my intro button:
Actionscript Code:
intro_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("[URL]", "_blank");};
I'm wondering if there is a way to somehow specify in that code segment what dimensions I'd like the new window to have? I know this can be accomplished in JavaScript with something like this:
Actionscript Code:
<a href="javascript:void(0)"onclick="window.open('[URL]','height=1280, width=720,scrollbars=no')">intro</a>
I've already tried putting the intro on it's own separate HTML page, but because of resolution and other background contrast issues, I've found that it undoubtedly looks best in a window that is resized to its specific dimensions, rather than having extra space around the edges, top, and bottom.
I have a text field that is assigned some HTML text which alongside the text itself also contains an "img" tag for displaying an image.I also am resizing the interface based of the dimensions of the text field and the problem that I have is that the interface resize needs to occur after the image has been loaded in the text field.
View 1 RepliesThe more I work with this program, the more weird stuff I encounter. I set up my .fla file as 700 x 400. I've been putting stuff on the stage and adding tweens, then when I test the movie, part of the stage image is cut off. I turned on the ruler, and found that the top of my stage is aligned at X 0.00 and Y -44.50. I drew a box the size of the entire stage, and its position is X 0.00 and Y -44.50, and the dimensions are 700 x 469. Can anyone tell me why my stage is larger than 700 x 400, and how to get the top left corner of the stage to be aligned at X 0.00 and Y 0.00?
View 4 RepliesI need to get the width and height of the image before it finishes loading with a moviecliploader instance. This is for placement of another clip, which will always load before the image. Is there any way of doing this??? onLoadStart does not give dimensions of the image.
