Actionscript 3 :: Keep Ratio In Full Screen - Extract Ratio From A Movie (mp4) Flash Player?
Sep 2, 2010
This is what i'm trying to do , get the Ratio 4:3 9:16 etc from an mp4 movie (h264) so when ill open it in fullscreen using a flash player / action script 3 it will still keep the ratio.
I have set my stage at 1920 x 1440 with a background bitmap that matches that size. The aspect ratio of my stage/bitmap is 4:3. When I run my Flash website on a legacy 4:3 monitor set at 1024x768, the top and bottom portions of the stage image are truncated. The remaining part of the displayed picture has an exact aspect ratio of 16:9.
[ X ] Problem solved I just came up with something i have some trouble to handle I've tried a couple of solution but none seems to work perfectly
What I'm trying to do is simple, get my flash to go full screen, but whatever resolution the user has, my flash must centers itself with the biggest proportion possible, and two movie clips goes right and left of it, as if they were borders.
I've been able to do this with a simple png, but i was not able with a movieclip where his dimension changes through time. ( i have a tween, so the mc gets really big even though just my stage is displayed)
I am trying to emulate an effect like this site uses...

and I've basically poached their script, a jQuery initiated 100% width and height background that loads into a couple of holding containers.
The thing I would like to do differently is fix the background in place so the content can scroll over it. How can I, say, write the flash movie to the BODY background or something like that? I'm not a javascript wiz and am not sure how I might do this.
I would like to have a project where the background fits the whole window (can squeeze) and the content is automatically resized and centered; keeping its ratio.Auto-Resizing and Centering your Content But here's my problem :
My main project is 1400*900px. My MC to handle is 1000*680px.
I load an external SWF in that MC (with addChild).This external SWF is 1000*680px too (same size than parent).I have a lot of clips in my external SWF and some of them are "out" the project zone.So when I load it in my MC; the MC is no more 1000*680 but more.I thought that what was outside didn't matter; but it seems that flash do not ignore what is out.So, when I use the code to resize/recenter the MC; it broke as it do not center as it should.I did try to use masks but it do the same.
How do change the ratio of my website so that, no matter how big someone's screen is, it will go as large as possible without messing up the ratio? I want a 4:3 ratio, by the way.
I am new to Flash so this may be a basic question, but I have not been able to find anything in the help files or the forums. I have tried several times to change the size of my quicktime movies, from 550 pixels by 400 pixels to 480 pixels by 480 pixels, and I cannot seem to do it. I have used "Modify > Document" and tried every option I could find through this command. Each time I export I double check that the export settings match my desired size, and they do, but when I open the movie in quicktime, it has been stretched to fit 550 x 400 pixels. The preview movie looks exactl how I want, it is only the exported movie that is incorrect. Is it possible to make a quicktime movie of the size I would like, or is that a standard format that cannot be adjusted?
As a workaround, I have tried squeezing my 480x480 content into the 550x400 stage (while scaling it prportionally). but when I do this, the square of content is not centered in the background in quicktime. It is off center in the preview movie as well, and this commonly occurs after I have used "modify > document" to change the size of the document. The side to which it is aligned seems to be inconsistent. Is there a way to realign the video after I have modified the document size? Does changing the document size through "modify > document" affect the centering and alignment of my video? Is there a way to change it back?
We have this legacy code of a flash video player that functions well enough but still has some loose ends I need to tighten up. It can do the basic "switch to full screen and back to normal size" stunts, however with one exception.
On the first fresh load of the app, if I switch to full screen mode first, and then click to play the movie, the player would be in full screen, yet the movie itself would remain in it's original size.
The VideoDisplay object even returns the expected width/height, but the movie just plays in it's original size. If I switch screen sizes during movie playback, then the movie size will shrink or stretch as it should.
I tested my skin for YouTube Chromeless player, and seems it worked properly.All graphic elements, including TLFTextFields, are stored in external SWF, all the AS3 code - in loading SWF.I use ProLoader class to load SWF.However, when I tried to attach Player skin code to my Home Page code, I immediately bumped into two issues:
1. TLFTextFields ceased to display proper font;
2. YouTube Chromeless player ceased to enlarge up to Full Screen width in Full Screen mode, whereas all publishing settings were kept the same...
Although I managed to cope with TLFTextField bug by replacing instances with vars in loaded SWF, I have no the slightest idea what to do with those paddings in Full Screen mode... Neither removing all children on stage before loading YouTube Player skin, nor compulsory resetting player's size can't make it work...
I have developed a couple of websites before in Flash, the problem is, the resolution of the site is good on my platform. i.e. 1024 x 800. However, when I get to view the site in 1366 x 788 the whole site looks sad. Badly oriented and sometimes I have to scroll through my page up and down - you know what I mean.
how to solve the problem so that my site looks good, centre oriented, doesn't matter at which resolution the user is viewing it.
I have created a flash video player using as3 (videoObject) but when I play the video the video is streched how to tell flash using as3 to maintain aspect ratio.
Notice if you adjust your browser size in both direction, it'll resize itself accordingly.
But if you resize in only one direction (squish your browser left) it won't resize at all past its aspect ratio..
Same if you squish your browser upward (with out resizing to the left or right), it'll resize till the aspect ratio is good, but if you continue squishing your browser up, it'll simply stop resizing all togethor and crop it.. AS well as the top portion of the flash file never moves up.
I want to make a full flash page, but allow the aspect ratio to be maintained when people adjust their browsers, so it can be resized if the browser is at a smaller resolution, but if they only move one side of their browser, nothing happens, (try it on the jimcarrey site to see what I mean, if you size your browser in both directions, the site resizes, but if you resize your browser in only one direction, say like up/down, it'll just crop out the bottom once the aspect ratio is met.
how I can create a working scrollbar for a movie clip? I've managed to get as far as inserting two buttons that allow you to move the movie clip up and down, it's just getting the scrollbar to be able to move the clip within a certain ratio that I'm finding hard to do.
I have a video inside of another movieclip. When I go full screen, I scale up the outer movieclip to fit the screen. So that OuterMovieClip.width is equal to screenWidth etc. How do I maintain the aspect ratio on my video so it does not get distorted? Whats the proper math for that?
I've heard a couple of people say only 50% succeed, but that sounds suspiciously low and the people saying that are probably all repeating the same rumor. My own very limited tests with various friends & colleagues work 100% of the time, as long as they have Flash Player 10, but that's obviously not right either.
Do you have some data from a largish test or deployment of home/corporate users?
I have an as3 app that loads SWF's with various movie clips inside with a size of 1280 width and 720 height. I would like to fit these SWFs into a content box of height 885 width by 500 height. The SWF must keep a ratio of 1.77. This would be easy if as3 recognised the SWF being 1280 height by 720 width. It doesn't however, and takes the size of the movie clips inside the swf which varies (as long as it's within the original size boundaries). how I can make the SWF's fit into the content box even if the movie clip sizes and therefore the original SWF sizes vary?
I'm making a movie in Flash CS5.I've already done some elements in Photoshop. There I used "Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction" option.How can I use (or emulate via AS) this option?
I want to produce a small movie using flash that i can pass onto someone else for inclusion in a presentation
They have asked for the final movie to be a quicktime .mov using the H.264 codec and that the aspect ratio should be 16:9
So my question is, how do i set up a flash project to ensure the final outputted movie will be in the correct aspect ratio? do i need to know the correct pixel dimensions?
I have the following: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class Ratio extends MovieClip { private var counter:Number; private var frequency:Number; private var ratio:String; [Code] .....
I want to build a gallery that is full screen all the time and make it scaleable. The gallery is easy but I want image to maintain ratio but once reaching a 800 by 600 stop scaling .
i'd like to use one flv player .swf to play both 16:9 and 4:3 videos without stretching the 4:3. how to detect the aspect ratio of the flv file being loaded?
way to lock the width and height ratio? I'm trying to set the width of the mc equal to the stage but have the height keep in relation to the original ratio also. So the wider I open my stage the taller the mc gets also.
sizeXListener = new Object(); sizeXListener.onResize = resizerX; Stage.addListener(sizeXListener);
I found a thread in actionscript.com that resizes a bg image beautifully (without any pixelation whatsoever), except that there is a minor glitch in the script that doesn't load properly. What does the solution mean: "try waiting until after the image is loaded. call your setBackground(); function from the onLoadInit"
Here is the script:
import flash.display.*; // this tells Flash NOT to allow the assets to be scaled Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; Stage.align = "TL";
I am new to Flash and trying to create a vertical slider bar that will return a ratio between 0 and 1, change color while doing so, and display the resulting ratio on the side of the slider as you drag. Everything works except for the dynamic text box displaying the "ratio." I want the text box to be invisible until you drag, then display at about 70% alpha when you drag, and go back to invisible when you release (because of the 70% alpha I have decided not to use the "visible" property).
I have attempted to use the _alpha command to accomplish the above, but the actionscript appears to ignore and just display the text box at 100% alpha. I have put the dynamic textbox in a movie clip, but still can't make it work. Could I accomplish this with a rollover button covering the entire slider?
I have posted the .fla file here for your review; can anyone let me know where I'm going wrong?[URL]..
I have made a resizeable box that you can resize using handles on all four cornersI have tl (top left handle), tr (top right handle), bl (bottom left handle) and br (bottom right handle)Its rather difficult to explain. See the picture attached, the blue arrows are where the mouse could move and the green arrows are where the boxes should goor now let's concentrate on moving the tl handle so that when it is moved left or downwards it gets smaller, towards the br handle
How can I make an application with the same ratio width/height? I have an application with width = 800 height = 600. Its width = 1.33*height and when I change the width to 1024 I want the height to change to 768 automatically.
I have 30 seconds spot that I need to convert it into DVD with 4:3 aspect ratio. Does Flash has ability to do it or do I have to burn it using third party software and on the third party software does it has the option to make the aspect ratio to 4:3? I think is 720X480 in pixel right? It has to be NTSC format.
how to make a video player and I was wondering if there is a way for me to receive the aspect ratio of a loaded flv or get native dimensions of the video so I know how to scale my video properly according to the loaded flv.
