Actionscript 3 :: Scaling A Nested SWF To Fill The Container?
Aug 26, 2010
I am completely new to ActionScript. I am nesting an SWF in another SWF container to be able to send the clicks from the flash object to the javascript outside. I am able to receive the clicks outside and that part works fine. But the inner content is not scaled to the size of the outer container. I use mxmlc from the 3.5 SDK, without any additional parameters except the actionscript filename, to compile the actionscript to SWF. How can I make the inner content fill up the container?
Here's the ActionScript:
package

I want a flv to fill the browser. I am using this code:
Code:
Select allStage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.showMenu = false;
var timeline:MovieClip = this;
var _minW:Number = 320;
var _minH:Number = 240;
[Code] .....
It works perfectly as written. It scale the movie on resize perfectly and retains the proportions of the video. It doesn't fill the browser completely though when the proportions arent correct(leaving bars or the background color on the sides or top and bottom). I want it to scale proportionately, but fill the browser, so effectively some of the movie will be cut off.

Currently I am reading in dynamic images from a xml file which loads the files names into a array. From there I load a empty movie clip from the library onto the stage on layer 20. There I load one of the images into the movie clip. I have gotten it to work where on event of click of a particular button the movie will load another image on the same layer.
My issue currently now is when i load two images into the MC at once. Both images gets loaded in but I find that they are scaeled and out of proportion. But when it loads them individually it is fine. Way I have manage to load the two images at once is by having a empty MC but nested in it are two other MC placed in the right position at the right dimension for the images to load into.I know that the images are being called and I know that images when imported in by themselves are the right dimensions. I know that the images loading in are at the right x,y position on the top corner left hand side. What I do not know is why the scaling and distortion.

I've got a container(sprite) with children(sprites) added to it. When I scale the container, I would like to get the new width of a child, but when I trace the children's width I always get the original dimensions, even though everything gets visually scaled as it should. How do I overwrite the children-width ?
Update: I just found out that the children.graphics-"dimensions" could have caused the problem. When I leave the graphics, everything seems ok. Is it possible to scale the graphics at same time as the child-sprite?

I have a container object that i add children to. I want to change the height & width of the container without the children scaling. In this case I draw a rectangle in flash which I'll use as the container object then export for AS.

I have an AS2 .swf being loaded as a child of a parent AS3 .swf. The AS2.swf calls loadmovie() and unloadmovie() to display 3 jpeg files. The images load the first time, but after that, a call to loadmovie() to replace the image, or a call to unloadmovie() fail. I found the following Adobe Bug report ([URL]) that has said this has been resolved, and also said that child movieclips could be replaced without a problem. Here is the code I'm calling.

I intend to apply a linear gradient via actionscript to an image (.png) with transparent areas. Of course, I previously converted this image to a movieclip. So I actually want to apply the gradient fill to the container movieclip, which has the instance name of "flower". Here's the code:

What I have is a draggable container with nested movieClips. So the container uses a MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP system and the nested movieClips use CLICK. BUT when I start dragging with my mouse on one of the nested movieClips and release after dragging the CLICK also gets fired. This is very annoying. Is there a workaround, or should I set this up different?

I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.

I've search through all the threads with "scaling" and "resizing" and can't find the solution.
Basically I have a GUI element on a gallery that I don't want to scale, while the rest of the page is free to resize/scale.
I think I need to add a listener of some sort to the stage, but I'm not sure how to do this.

I have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).

I'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?

i have a diagonal movieclip that I am trying to scale along with the background video. The background video scales perfect, I am attaching the diagonal movieclip (br in the code as bottomright) with addChild
Instead of scaling with the window, it seems to repeat such as the image is displaying. this is the main section of the code that is doing the scaling
var br:mc_bottomright = new mc_bottomright();
addChild(br);
//proportional scale
if ((stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight)> (owidth/oheight))

I am trying to achieve an effect of scaling a movie clip on click...very similar to [URL] When the user clicks on See, Hear, Play and Shop boxes, the boxes expand. I have created a box movieclip that has a bar on top. This bar is a movie clip inside the box movieclip. When i try to scale the main box movieclip, the internal bar movie clip scales as well. How to stop this?

In a Flex Mobile project I have a simple itemRenderer where I'm trying to create an "bubble" texting effect, similar to ichat or iphone (just so you get what im going for). But if the text is longer than the screen it runs off, rather than just going down a line.
If I set Group thats holding the rectangle(to create the bubble effect) and the label to 100% it works and keeps it from exceeding the list containers bounds, BUT the group is always at 100% and looks bad, I'm trying to keep the "bubble" JUST AROUND the text.
Anyway so, at the top of my itemRenderer I tried specifying:
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="100%" height="100%">
And here's my layout I figured since msg_container has a width of 100% I was hoping bubble_lable_group would just not exceed that but...it doesnt...it just runs off. I tried setting a max width but that does not allow you to input percents. And just to say it 1 more time. I know if i set bubble_lable_group width to 100% it works, and keeps it from going off the edge, but then the rectangle "bubble" stretches all the way across and just looks bad.
<s:VGroup id="main_container" horizontalAlign="left" paddingBottom="10" paddingTop="10"
verticalAlign="top" width="100%">

I have a loop that goes through data from a book and displays it. The book is not consistent in it's layout so I am trying to display it in two different ways. First way(works fine) is to load the text from that section in to a panel and display it. The second way is to create a new panel (panel creates fine) and then add collapsable panels(nested) to that panel. Here is the code from the else loop.
else if (newPanel == false){
// simpleData is just for the title bar of the new panel
// otherwise the panel has no content
[Code]....
The error I get is: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property panel4.4 not found on components.readTest and there is no default value.
I have tried setting the "name" property instead of the "id" property.

1. I selected the Rectangle tool, and made sure Object Drawing Mode was not selected.
2. I picked colors for stroke and fill, and drew a rectangle.
3. I clicked the Selection tool, then dragged around the rectangle to select all of it.
4. In the Property Inspector I clicked the fill color icon. I clicked the square with the slash, to designate no fill. The fill disappears.
Everything has worked so far. But now I decide I want a fill color after all. I select the shape again. But clicking the fill color icon in the Property Inspector and the Tool panel has no effect on bringing a fill color back to the shape. I can't figure out how to do that.
Actually, I could restore the original fill color using Undo, or the History Panel. But it seems there must be a way using the Property Inspector.

I need to place an image into a container. The problem is that I will not know the size of the image or the container beforehand, so it all has to be dynamic.this is how I started (have not gotten to stage(or container) changing size yet. No matter what I try, either all the images are the same width, or they are all the same height. If some images are portrait and other landscape, I don't want all the images to be X pixels high. In this variation of the code, all the images turn out the same height, regardless of portrait or landscape.
ActionScript Code:
var ratio:Number = container.width/container.height;//get the ratio, if width is bigger than height then ratio is greater than 1, else ratio is smaller than 1

I'm currently working on a custom component which extends Canvas (let's call it SuperCanvas) ; it's basically a container that let you zoom & pan its contents. It would be too long to explain why, but I can't use scrollRect, so I was forced to declare a Canvas object (called innerCanvas)... inside my SuperCanvas (I know, not very nice =/) I would like to know if there's a proper way to "redirect" the creation of my component's children in this canvas.
