I have an empty movie clip instance on stage with x=y=w=h=0.0. Anytime I try to set a non-zero width or height in the properties palette, the corresponding x or y value goes insanely huge, sometimes negative. When I lock the padlock, and set width to 1.0, the other goes like "-1.$".
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get an object to increase in size the lower it goes down the stage, and decrease in size the high it moves up the stage.
It only needs to increase or decrease by a small amount. Basically, it's for a game character. To ad realism to his movements, it would be nice to have this feature.
This is where i'm up to so far:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
I think I need something like:
if (object moves up)
decrease
else if (object moves down)
increase
I'm working on a slideshow where I'm calling in photos from an xml file. How do I tell AS to resize the stage according to photo dimensions? Would I need to list the dimensions in the xml file? If so, how would I pull that into the fla file with AS?

Very important, I don't want to stretch any element. Just make the background bigger.

Basically it's a font called Scene Pro and it's Open Type. I have a guy working on a Mac and the font does this on his computer.But it's completely fine on my PC. It's the same font.He has Font Book and we disabled all the fonts except Scene Pro - and still this happens. We need this guy to do more work in Flash but on a Mac he's kinda held back a bit with the text behaving like this. I end up Publishing the file from my computer.

View 3 RepliesI am taking a beginners Flash course and our final project is to create a movie/website in Flash. 100% Flash based. In a previous course, I made an HTML site. For this project, I am recreating that website in Flash. But what should the stage size be? That is where I am stuck. I don't know what a normal Flash site size should be to fit the screen like a normal HTML site.I already know to havethe dimentions set to 100% and 100%. But for some reason, when I use Control > Test movie, it never seems to fit right. It's either crunched together to much or spread out to far to where the header and footer are partially off the screen. I've seen posts on the web from years ago that said 950x550 is the size needed. Is that still the case? Because it just doesn't look right. With HTML the page height would adjust to the content and it would automatically scroll if needed. But Flash doesn't seem to do that. It seems that you are stuck with 1 size and you have to work around it.
View 1 RepliesI am not a Flash user and would like some information as a client. I have some problems with my service provider and wanted to verify his claims regarding the software.
1. Is there a stage size limit to flash SC3 and what is it?
2. Is it possible that the software crashes because of the data added to it (pictures and vectors)? Or dose the crash is happening from insufficient computer resources?
3. Dose a 1027X768 stage require a substantial amount of computer resources? And is a 4 year old 17" mac book pro might crash repeatedly if such data is applied to it? I understand that these are not the general questions asked in this forum

View 5 RepliesI get this error when I try to Auto format my script in an .as file inside flash CS3, though when I just check Syntax it says the script contains no errors. This is the error:
Code: ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs. I just moved to CS3, and I use AS2 still, on flash 8 it didn't do that, so now I can't Auto format my .as files. I found out this question was asked on these forums and the answer was just not to use Auto format.

First, the tab areas of the window panes in Flash go blank.See:[url].....I could understand if I was working on a slow PC. My system scores a WEI of 7.2. I'm running Win7 Pro 64-bit. It's very bizarre and distracting. I have to open and close the windows to make them look normal again.Secondly, and even more importantly, Flash does not seem to compile any actionscript! I created a new AS3 file. I tried a simple trace command, and it won't even output the trace.
ActionScript Code:
trace("Hello?");
Why would it ignore everything in the AS pane? Even obvious errors ( import com.blah; ) don't cause problems.
How do I get an exact width and height of a MovieClip if it was scaled on stage resize?
for example if I have:
stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, checkSize);
function checkSize(e:MouseEvent):void{
trace(mc.width);
}
It will always output the same width and height no matter how big or small the stage is. Is there anyway to get exact current size?
I've had this annoying problem since CS1 and persists through CS3. If i import an image (either to stage or to library then placed on stage) the pixel size reported in the properties box is smaller by a very small amount. For example, I just dropped a 1005x650 PNG on the stage. The properties box shows this as w[1004.8] h[649.9]. The file is 72ppi in photoshop. Zooming in confirms that the image is shrunk slightly. In this case, the image was same size as the stage and I could see the white background showing through on the right edge of the graphic. It means that everytime i put a bitmap graphic on the stage, I have to correct the w and h in the properties box.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution? Does it occur in CS4?
I'm making an action game and I'd like to know what should be the maximum size of the stage (mine is 660 x 500).Also I'd like to know how big a game-sprite should be. Currently my biggest sprites have a size of 128 x 128 and I read somewhere on the internet that you should not make it bigger because of performance issues. If you want to make e.g. big explosions with shockwaves even 128 x 128 does not look very big. What's the maximum size I can definitely use for sprites?

When the Flash movie begins, I do map.setSize(new Point(stage.width, stage.height)); on the map initialization. I'm using version 1.20 of the SWC component on Flash CS5 and AS3. However, when I compile the SWF, the player crashes. I've seen that with v1.8 of the API you can resize the map to the stage size with no problem.
Briefly, I'm a beginner in Flash. I need to do a short presentation with flash. The presentation will be mainly a combo of text slides transitions and 20% of it will be animated stick figures. The presentation will be shown to a group of enclosed audience in an auditorium in school. I'll hook up the laptop and the projector to play it.
I've not done this before and would not have a chance to test it out until the actual day of the presentation. I'm getting knots in my stomach worrying if what I see on my computer will not turn out to be the same on a projector in an auditorium environment.

I wasn't to sure where to post this exactly since I'm not sure if this is a actionscript or some other problem.Ok here it goes. The problem is this if in the embed in the HTML document I put in wmode="transparent" for the flash movie the parameter I am passing to the flash movie never gets passed ... I don't see how wmode can do such a thing but then again this is really my first time working with wmode in general.I tested it numerous times to make sure it really does come down to wmode and it does.Here is the code I currently have I hope there is someone out there that could explain to me why it's doing this.
Code:
<param name="movie" value="header.swf?playMovie=stop" />
<param name=quality value=high />
<embed src="header.swf?playMovie=stop"[code]........

I am working in Flash CS5 and I have placed a text field (dynamic, classic text) on the stage. I am accessing it through Actionscript on the same frame like this:
var ct:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("Temperature"));
ct.text = "Hello world";
What ACTUALLY appears is this: So... The H, Ls, and D are gone. Mysteriously. Without warning. I am sitting here utterly confused. Is this just me?
PS. The text field is set to Myriad Pro Bold, a font on my computer, so it isn't like it's a font problem.
Alright, I am pulling my hair out on this one. Got this problem at around 9 last night and was up until 5 trying to fix it, and then all day so far (it's already about 9 PM again) trying to fix it. I've tried everything I can think of.Alright, so I'm trying to reference the document object from various classes in my class library. Everything seemed to be going peachy until I started getting this random, weird error. I thought maybe it was Flash acting up all of a sudden but I tried it on my Mac as well and I get the same error.Basically no matter WHAT I do, I am getting the error:

ive got a flash template, but its really difficult to edit. heres the thing: there are 4 main categories buttons, and when i click each categorie, 3 options appears. for example
[Code]...
green, blue, red and yellow are already with button codes, for when i click it, it opens their 1, 2 and 3 option buttons, but these 1 2 and 3 for each color are not links, and when i try to add a code to them, ALL of them get the same link, like their instances from the same thing. and when i try to set a button to be instance of another thing, all of them change again.
its really difficult and i've tried everything. even creating another box for these 1,2and 3, but when i create a box on this section, another 2 boxes are created at its sides.
I have created a flash project in CS5 and I have set the size of the stage to 500 x 400. When I view it in the flash player as the swf it plays fine.
