In as3 What is the difference between calling stage.width and stage.stageWidth I read somewhere that if we have nothing on stage then the value of stage.width is 0,but what happen when I have nothing on stage but loading contents dynamically on stage?I have tried this and when i have loaded content dynamically on stage then i have got
stage.width=value; // where value is dynamic number
In actionscript 3 (as3) What is the difference between calling stage.width and stage.stageWidth. This was something I remember I got confused about in the past (Adobe's api docs are an artform in obfuscation
View 2 RepliesI am using SWFOBJECT to embed my flash content. I have been worried about stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight returning 0 in Firefox/Internet Explorer; this problem is referred to in question #21 on the SWFOBJECT FAQ [URL]..I have been told that this problem is particularly prevelant on Macs. The SWFOBJECT FAQ (question 21) indirectly suggests that this problem does not occur with static publishing. Is this correct? Is it still advisable to implement a solution to this stageWidth/stageHeight problem, even if you are using static publishing?
View 1 Repliescan you tell me a simple and clean way to pass the dimension of the stage to another class, imported in my documentclass?
View 2 RepliesI've been working on a project that requires lots of scaling around a center point.
I always thought that stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight give you the dimensions of the stage you set in the properties panel no matter what. But when I went into fullscreen mode (with scaling), both the width and the height changed to the dimensions of the screen rather than staying the dimensions I specified.
In my AS3 code all the elements on the page are dynamically positioned depending on the current width and height of the SWF - providing it's not under a certain value, then the items are back in their original position.
When debugging in the Flash player the size all reports correctly however when run from a web browser it does not - initially.
This is my HTML & PHP code for the entire page:
HTML Code:
<?php
function hashId($fn) {
$hash=md5_file($fn);
[Code].....
But I cannot get the size to report correctly without, say, clicking a button.
It seems to me like I need to force flash to re-draw the screen, but I had no luck trying to do that.
What am I missing here? According to the docs:
Quote:
When the value of the scaleMode property is not set to StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE, the stageWidth property represents the width of the SWF file as set during authoring in the Document Properties dialog box. This means that the value of the stageWidth property stays constant as you resize the Flash Player window. This property cannot be set. So stick this in a new FLA
[Code]...
and the traces are of different values. According to the docs, this shouldn't be happening. What's going on? Did I miss something little?
I'm having issue regarding the display when using Firefox 3.5 on MAC, I can see my menu and the display is correct. The menu just position above what it supposed to be positioned. It works fine with Safari on MACOSX.My flash size is: 1440x750It looks like Firefox can't recognize stage.StageWidth and stage.StageHeight. It returns 0.Some suggest implementing was to pass in the actual width and height of movie via FlashVars. The movie uses these instead of stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeightDoes anyone have an example of code of how to fix that issue??
public function Main()
{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, handleOnStage, false, 0, true);
[code]....
Working on personal full flash site and I can't really figure out how to make MC's position on Stage aligned on Firefox browser. Everything goes fine using Safari.
I have tried a method of set a timer every time it goes off (every 200 ms or so) it checks to see if stage.stageWidth > 0. If that is the case, do stop the timer and start resize on stage. However it's still not working on Firefox of MAC. :(
In my HTML code:
<link href="css/site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script type="text/javascript">
var swf = new SWFObject("main.swf", "mymovie", "100%", "100%", "10", "#000000");
swf.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");

I am creating a android app using adobe air (flex sdk 4.6.0) and i am trying to find out what the width of the phone screen is in pixels. So I am fallowing the tutorial here but when ever i copy the code into my project and click run it always gives me this error "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." and goes to the line that has stage.stageWidth I have also tried stage.width but it does the same thing. So does stage.stageWidth no longer work or how do you tell the screen size of the tablet or phone? Was it replaced with something else for phones? I am trying to get the information so i can center images in the center of the screen using action script.[code]
View 1 RepliesWhen you resize the browser window the thumbnails rows and columns adjust accordingly to fit.I've managed to attach the thumbnails correct when my enableButtons() function is called but i'm unsure how to approach resizing.

I was wondering, What's the difference between stage object and stage property of the display objects ?
And another question, How can "root" be an instance variable ?! .. in Acion script it was some thing to refere to the main timeline, wasn't it ?!
I was wondering if any of you can spot the error in my code? I got a bunch of objects called 'jelly' that are gonna bounce around my screen but the problem I got is they don't bounce at all! they just run straight off. And yeah I'm very new to actionscript, can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

Is it possible to get the stage height/width on something that isn't added to the stage?
View 1 RepliesSo I'm trying to do a simple graph with rollover definitions. I have the graph on one layer in the root along with the definitions. On a hit testing MC I have the following:
var defbox:info = new info();
var mcName = this.name;
var xPos = (MovieClip(parent).stage.stageWidth)/2;
[code]....
Experimenting with Flash as usual.Preloader's are always something that have caused me trouble.Here's what I typically use for a timeline based preloader in AS3:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void {
var total:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;[code].......
I'm really interested in a preloader that loads right across the stage however - regardless of if the stage is resized.I should imagine it'll involve implementing = Math.round(stage.stageWidth); at some point?
I am trying to set masks and other component positions in relation to Stage size.AS3 CS5I trace stage.stageWidth on a 800x600 pixel stage and I get - 100My stage will scale within a Director piece.Is this a bug? Modal condition? Releated to scaling??
View 7 RepliesI created a custom class in a .as file. I then linked this custom class with a symbol from the library in my .fla file. However, I can't reference stage.stageWidth in my custom class file. I get a null object error.
I think this happens because the custom class file is associated with a symbol on the stage and not the stage itself. For example, if I set the fla file's Document Class to the name of my custom class I can reference stage.stageWidth in the custom class. But I don't do this because I am creating multiple instances of the symbol on the stage. In order to do that properly i found I have to set the class in the properties panel of the symbol to the underlying class which then defines how each symbol behaves.
Under this type of linkage, is there a way to reference the stage width from the class? I've tried root.stage.stageWidth and parent.stage.stageWidth to no avail. I also made sure to import flash.display.* in my custom class. Below is the code for my .fla file and my .as file. In the .as file you'll see the line "x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;". This is the line giving me problems. I could hard code it, as I do for the y variable on the next line, but I'd prefer not to in order to keep the code flexible.

The old loaded swf issue. How can I keep the dimensions of the loaded SWF to that of its FLA, and not to the new stage where it is loading? I know there is only one stage, so i just have to hard-code this into the loaded SWF right?
View 9 RepliesI made a class to create and handle a google map in my swf and everything works very well. But I want to make my layout completely liquid. To acomplish this, I need to call the stage from the class... But it doesnt seem to be so easy.
the code is bellow:
[Code]....
I would like to know if there is a reason that, within an AS3 class, I would want to do something like this:
var myStageInstance:Stage;
//within an arbitrary class
var myStageInstance:Stage = stage;
myStageInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent, someFunction);
as opposed to something that I would normally do:
//within an arbitrary class
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent, someFunction);
There is no particular problem that I am looking to solve right now. I would just like to know if there is a reason to use one method over the other.
I've decided to start re-writing my project, but this time making the use of class files rather than nesting code inside my MovieClips.
Now it's come to the "message box" that I previously wrote, and I'm having some troubles. (note: I don't really want to download a pre-built one as my message box class end up being the backbone for several custom interfaces).The problem is that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why my message box class cannot access "stage.stageWidth", "stage.stageHeight", "MovieClip(root).currentWidth", etc.
This is the code for the working "messageBox.as":
ActionScript Code:
package com.components{
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....
I've tried several variations of creating the movie clip, but to no avail. I've tried like creating a global movie clip variable and that attatching the movieclip to it in this function, the same with a display object, creating a function variable and doing both of the above, etc.I just cannot figure it out! All of my other classes are working just fine!
I am building a simple ToolTip-Class. In case the cursor gets to close to the stage's border's I'd like it to flip accordingly, so it won't get cropped.
For this I'd like to compare the stage width and my mouseX and then scale and wove things accordingly.
However when I try to get stage.stageWidth from inside my package it will return null.
I have a main.swf and a slider.swf. I load the slider.swf into main.swf. In my slider.swf I have this code which adds an image to the stage from the Library:
[Code]...
I assume it has to do with the stage.stageWidth. Is there a another way to reference the stage. If I load the the image externally via a loader I can use the stage.stage Width.
I'm after a way to implement a similar style of navigation as the blue strip that enters from the right hand side of the stage on this website:
[URL]
I'm fairly sure it will revolve around the use of a stage.stageWidth listener on an mc and then subtracting a certain amount to ensure it doesn't span the entire width..
Does the value of Stage.stageWidth or Stage.stageHeight change as per the screen-resolution, monitor-size, browser etc ?
View 2 RepliesI 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
is there a way to make a minimum width and stop resize? I have a menu I am building that is locked to the bottom of the browser and 3 buttons on the left and a movieClip on the right. When you resize the browser window - currently - you can make the button on the right sink under the three on the left.

how to get a movieclip named "topnav" to resize it's width to match that of the stage. I am trying to resize the width of a top nav bar across a resizable RIA. I have started with the following code but with only partial success:

function resizeListener (e:Event):void {
var reg2 = stage.stageWidth / 100;

I have a Movieclip on stage with nested movieclips inside. All referenced at 0,0. None of the child movieclips load any dynamic content, animate or have Masked Layers. It does have an input textfield in one of the child MCs. The parent MC shows 280 px width, while it returns 313 px with a .width trace. There is no code that alters the .width value of the parent MC at run-time. And the ParentMC on stage is not scaled (it is at 100% width/height)
