I need to scale and clip images into square sized tiles to put into a tile list. Here's how
For each image, I want to scale the shorter side (either width or height) to fit in the tile using the "letterbox" scaleMode (so that it maintains aspect ratio).Then I want to position the image in the center and clip away anything left over from either both sides or the top and bottom.
I have an image with width=600px and height=1200px. First I want to scale the image to width=300px and height=600px (notice that aspect ratio is maintained), then center the image vertically and clip the image to 300 x 300.
Is this possible? This is actually a pretty standard way of displaying square thumbnails in many photo-based web sites, but I can't find a way to make it work in flex.
I am trying to load a BitmapImage from an embedded source image and add this to a UIComponent. I am attaching the code that I have below. I have not been able to get this to work.
var bitmap:BitmapImage = new BitmapImage(); bitmap.source ="@Embed('sample.jpg')"; var graphic:Graphic = new Graphic(); graphic.addElement(bitmap); thumbHolder.addChild(graphic);
When I run this I dont get an error, but no image appears in thumbHolder (My UIComponent).
I've trawled the net trying to find a solution, but everything seems to be mxml-centric. What I want is to dynamically create a series of Graphics objects each with a child BitmapImage.[code]...
Scenario: main moveiclip with 4 other clips in it. I want the rolledover clip to scale up and all the others to scale down and blur.
Question: What is the most effiecent way to code this. Would it be a "for in loop"? I am trying to minimize the code and would rather not use a whole bunch of if then statements.
What is the AS needed to scale a movie clip? I want it to be at 0% and then increase to 100%. I've searched through the forums and haven't found what I'm looking for yet - I'm a complete newbie when it comes to AS but here's what I have:
I've jumped in head first into Actionscript and I'm working my way through Adobe's Classroom in a Book for AS3. I've just completed chapter 4 and am currently trying to solve the "try on your own" problems at the end of the chapter.
Here's a problem that is stumping me:
Create a button to let the user set the size of the shapes that they paint.
And here is my code (the commented bits of code are solutions I tried but didnt work):
I'm trying to make a zoom in and out effect, on images in a movieclip, using the mouse wheel. But, there is another mouse event that scrolls through the frames of the movie clip. I need it to stay zoomed in, and out respectively, when you scroll to the next frame.
I have a quicktime video at 620x480 that I would like to keep sharp and clean with no pixelation or video grain. Unfortunately, the client would like the rest of the movie to scale to 100% (the movie is a flash projector file and is not browser based). I'm aware of full browser flash option when the stage is set to "noScale", but is it possible to have a clip that loads into a scaled projector at fixed resolution? So far my approach is this:small flash projector file to "embed" flash player. This would be at 100% scale mode. Then I would have the video clip load into the main projector clip (as a .swf). The external clip (video) would be set to "noScale" mode. Would this adhere or would the noScale be overruled by the projector scale mode?
wanted to load an swf into an empty movieclipthen modify the empty movieclips xy scale, and xy positionrecall doing something like that b4, and it seemed like a simple enough taskbut for some reason this doesnt seem to wanna obey me at the moment

I'm creating a simple liquid flash site layout with one MC that does not scale and remains at a constant position, and one mc that should stretch to fit either the height or width (whichever's larger) of the stage, but scale proportionally. I thought I had a pretty good grasp on the code for that, but when I put it in, the mc doesn't scale at all, in fact it just disappears! Could anyone take a look and let me know if you see what's wrong?
Is there a easy way to scale the part of a masked movieclip that the user sees to a specific height? I want to ignore the masked part but scaleX scales using the dimensions of the mask.I'm assuming you can do this using bounds and getting the difference but am having trouble figuring this out.
I'm loading png files on movieClips attached on the scene dynamically (reading an xml file). then i'm making a tween (with actionscript) to scale the container clip on RollOver.
the png file pixelate when the clip is scaled(to 110%).
i am trying to scale a movie clip to certain pixel dimensions with easing. I have four buttons on the stage and one mc( a square). when a button is pressed i want to scale the mc to a certain size. i.e button 1 scales the mc to 200 pixels by 500 pixels.
I've got a MovieClip containing several child clips (images and text). I'm trying to scale this parent clip very slowly - from 102% down to 98% - this works, however the child movie clips are all scaling a bit jerkily - like they're trying to stick to pixels or something. What's the cure for this? The scaling is done by using a motion tween on the timeline by the way. I've tried to tick "Cache Bitmap" but that makes no difference. If I used the 3D motion tween, there is no jerkyness. But I need to publish to flash 9, so can't use that!
I've built a photo gallery that resizes with the window browser. The only problem is that when I first open up the window the gallery is not properly scaled to fit the window size. I was given a tip that when you place resizeListener(null); in the code. This worked, but the only problem is that the image scales disproportionately when the window loads. I've noticed that when I tinker around with some of the code (highlighted in RED below) it effects this, but I have not figured out how to resolve it.
Essentially I have an animation with two main movie clips - a foreground and background movie clip.I want the foreground movie clip not to scale but the background movieclip to take the full screen of the browser.I'm only using vector images
i got a logo, each letter it a clip, cos the logo is bit more than just text, but thats beside the point. I want each letter to start of larger than it should be and zoom out (scale down) to the normal size, pref with a bit of a bounce at the end, so it goes from very big to, slightly smaller then proper size, to proper size, get it? with help from Master64 (via IRC) i worked out that i could use _xscale and _yscale (i am relativly new here, lol ) but the problem i got is that it scales, but in huge jumps, not smooth.The class is ment to be reusable (duh!) so my concept is
I have a quite different problem with resizing. I have a Flexbook component which uses the middle part of screen (center) with a html header menu and footer. The problem: The scaling works perfectly when we run in the local machine ( Flexbuilder). But when we deploy it to the server its like scaling never existed.. The requirement: when user maximizes the window or minimizes it, the Flexbook should be resized to fit the screen.
How can I convert the current scale of the instance to 100% so I can easily "visualize" and manage the instance when I modify its scale? Here's the actionscript, it works, but I just want the temp._xscale and temp._yscale to be in percentages, not real numbers.
Code: USflag.onMouseDown = function () { var temp = USflag; onEnterFrame = function ()
[code]....
One last thing, what's the tag you have to put that is designed for boxing actionscripts? I'm suing [ code ][ /code ]
I want to load a swf into a Flex application and scale it down into a thumbnail-size.I've looked at http:[url].... but it does not really address my need: I want to size it and keep all the pieces inside a container.
Fullscreen mode and I have been battling for a while in this Flex application, and I'm coming up short on Google results to end my woes. I have no problem going into fullscreen mode by doing a Application.application.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;, but the rest of the content just sits there in the top, left corner at it's original size.
All right, says I, I'll just do a stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL and make it figure out how to pull this off. And it looks like it does. Except that when you mouse over the individual checkboxes and buttons and various components, they all fidget slightly. Just a slight jump up or down as they resize...on mouse over. Well, this is frustrating, but bearable. I can always just invoke invalidateSize() explicitly for all of them.
But for the comboboxes. The ones at the bottom have their menus go off the bottom of the screen, and when I pop out of fullscreen mode, their drop downs cut off half way. I have no idea how to fix that. Can someone step in here, and put me out of my misery?
What is the right way to scale a Flex application up to fullscreen?[code]...
