Flex :: Resize An Entire Air App AS IS - Ignoring Component's Positions And Sizes Logic - Like Zooming
Dec 5, 2010
i have written an air app which is fixed in dimensions: 1000 w X 800 h i have set the resizable and maximizable tags of the app-xml to false, to prevent the user from changing it's size. this app looks and interacts perfectly at these dimensions but not at other: it has "bad" coding techniques in it like hard-coded display sizes and such, rtl and ltr combined layoutdirections and so forth...
when the applicationComplete event dispatches, i check Capabilities.screenResolutionY and if it is less then 800 i want to resize the app programatically (preserving the width/height ratio). i have tried all the StageScaleModes and tried changing the dimensions of the stage, the nativeWindow, the app itself("this") and so on in every combination.
i am looking for a way to resize the entire app as is, meaning i dont want to use display logic of the components and such, just to "shrink" or "expend" the whole app as is, with hard-coded pixel amounts to change within the logic of the app accordingly (change all sizes, locations, fonts etc.. in sync) the app should look and work exactly as it did in it's 1000x800 default size, only smaller or bigger

I can take snapshot of a component. But the problem is the component is lil bigger with scroll bars. The saved image has scrollbars (only the visible area is getting saved). What i need is I want the entire component to be saved as an image.
This exact functionality is available while we print the component using FlexPrintJob, where by setting the FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE.

I'm creating a website within which I would like to achieve a menu system at the bottom of the page with a white band behind similar to this site:
[URL]
I have created the menu buttons and band but I can't figure out how to maintain their relationship with the edges of the browser window if it is rezised at any point during a user's visit (same as the site above).
I have been setting the position of the buttons and all other elements using, for example :
myBtn.y = stage.stageHeight - 100;myBtn.x = stage.stageWidth - stage.stageWidth + 50;
For publishing I use noscale, 100x100 percent, top-left justification.

IE 8 Flash CS4 v10 Windows XP Home SP3 (NOTE: The word "Resize" refers to an HTML change of the movie size; it does not refer to a Window resize)
Objective: Display a transparent 800x600 flash movie in IE, stretching movie to 100% width and height of webpage but keeping the objects within the movie from getting re-scaled. Objects are re-positioned at runtime via ActionScript with values meant to be relative to stage dimensions.
Problem: The movie resize is messing up the object re-positioning. The movie is indeed stretching to 100% of the width & height of the browser window's client area, but the objects are repositioned relative to something else (perhaps screen dimensions, but not sure). Result: Objects which were programatically positioned relative to original stage size are spaced way too far apart in IE, in some cases off the screen entirely, though they were not like this in the Flash editor.Question(s): Why are objects which were positioned within the original stage dimensions being kicked off the browser screen while the movie itself remains entirely on-screen even after resize? What dimensions/values are guiding the automatic post-resize repositioning of the objects? (These proportions appear to be different from the change in proportions of the movie itself.)

I'm loading in profile images from both facebook and twitter into a flex application. Based on the answer from this question, I'm loading the domain policy from the redirected url. However, now I'm seeing this error: Error: [strict] Ignoring policy file at [URL] The crossdomain.xml file from that URL looks like this:

The error states that there is a missing Content-Type. How do I get around this? I, obviously, can't update facebook's files.

Basically I want to know if there is a way to go from a zoomed in version of something, and then seeing the whole image in another frame. (By pressing a button)
Let's say there's a tree, I would bascially like (upon pressing a button which I can do) to zoom out and see the whole scenery. Is there a way I can do this without actually changing the size of the image?

I have thumbs placed on the stage. I create an empty mc to load swf. But my thumbs disappear from the stage when I test the movie ( html or swf) if I settle the _ and _y position of the empty mc.why the emptymovieclip positions affect the positions of my thumbnails?

I'm working on an app which will, like most apps, have a whole boat load of buisness logic, almost all of which will need to be executed both on the server and the Flash-based client And I'm trying to figure out the best (read: least complex) way to implement the rules engine.
These are the parameters of the problem:
The rules engine must both run in a web browser (ie, in Flash Player) and on the server. Duplicating the logic (eg, by writing a "server" version and a "client" version) would be an unacceptable risk. The input/output data is fairly complex, so serialization is a nontrivial problem. We are currently using AMF for all of our serialization needs, and using another protocol would add significant complexity So it should probably be avoided. It is infeasible to implement a "rules description language". Experimentation has shown that rules are sufficiently complex that any such language would need to be Turing complete Which would also add a significant amount of complexity. The rules engine will not need to make some, but not very many, service calls.
Currently, the best contenders are:
Writing the code in ActionScript, then running it on the server. In theory it's possible to start up an AVM instance, get it long-polling a gateway, then pass data back and forth that way But that seems less than ideal. Writing the code in haXe. I don't know anything about haXe's AMF support, so that could be a deal-breaker. Something involving Tamarin. Seems like a viable option, but I haven't done enough research to tell either way.

I look at professional animations and notice the camera-like effects they manage to put into these animations. I'm wondering how I can do the same without having to just enlarge or reduce a movieclip across the stage. Is there any way to add a camera view on your animations or do you just have to bear with Flash's basic necessities?

My question is Should above logic go in updtaeDisplayList or remain in set data() itself. The output is smae from both. Whats the performance impact difference if we consider it from lifecycle perspective.(The heavy computations should be pushed towards the end of the frame rendering)

I'm importing/loading external swfs into a program, but when I get or set the width/height- it using the entire, unmasked image, and not what is visible.That makes sense, but is there anyway to either discard the masked content(crop), or only get/set the value of size of the visible image?It could be any swf, and I can't control the swf's coming in.I am importing them using flex's mx.controls.image, but have also tried a normal as3 loader with the same problem.

It's going to be used to view complicated scenes in 3D, but to make it work on laptops it's instead showing pre-rendered 360 degree renders of the objects.When you load an object, it first buffers 360 frames into memory, so that you can rotate around this object smoothly. When you release the mouse button, it loads in the high-res image of that frame.
Then, you should be able to zoom in and move around to inspect the model closer.Problem here is when I have the scrollbars enabled it wont work properly.Firstly, I had a problem where the vertical scrollbar moved out of the picture when I was scrolling the horizontal scrollbar.
Then after some more testing, they now stay where they should, but when I zoom in (will post code below) the horizontal scrollbar is not able to go far enough to the left to show the whole image.What happens is, when I zoom in, the scrollbar remains at it's left position, but I zoom in on the center of the image (zooming, by scaling the container. The image fill the container).
My problem is probably just a result of me overlooking some basic understanding. And sorry if the code is a bit messy, I've only done a little bit of clean up. The code I post below is without any scrollbars visible.
You can see that I've tried using scrollbar components too, and it works somehow. But I'm not able to scale the scrollbar depending on the content, so if I zoom in or out, the handle you drag on the scrollbar will be the same...

<mx:Panel x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%" titleIcon="@Embed('assets/img/cog_01.png')" title="vCog Subsea - Draugen Project">

I'm developing a new Flex app that's in the middle of an html page.
I want to be able to achieve what this website achieves [URL] when zooming in and out in the browser. It makes the container smaller but does not rescale the swf file.
Presently my app, scales and it looks ugly. I want it to basically not scale and just make everything smaller.

I have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?
