loadMovieNum("icon1.swf", target1_mc);
I am trying to build a presentation by calling external .swfs inside the .fla document.
By clicking a button I want to load an .swf (800 x 600) from the desktop into a target_mc inside a new flash document.
The problem is that once I press the button to load the .swf, instead of loading it into the target_mc, Internet Explorer pos up with a statement saying " To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..." Once I click the options link, a new link appears "Allow Blocked Content". once I press it the .swf file loads into the Internet Explorer window full screen.
I want the .swf to load into the mc I am specifying INSIDE the flash document, not on the browser.
Im looking to make the flash file dynamic so that when someone changes the window size the flash file expands with it and some of the items contained move also.
View 3 RepliesBriefly, 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'm loading an XML document that contains properties about "slides" in a presentation. When the XML loads each slide builds as an object with it's params. Everything works perfect except now I need to add graphics, instead of just text, to the stage based on the slide object params. I have an object in the library being exported as "StateMap". In my xml params of the slide it's name is StateMap. How can I convert the string StateMap into a display object and then add it to the stage?
So if Slide 1B has 4 lines of text and an image from the library, I want to build the 4 lines on the stage and then place the image on the stage. The image is exported for actionscript in the library but I cannot get the xml to store a name or reference and figure out how flash converts that to a display object.
Is there a way to set the size of the fla or swf document via actionscript? The stage size and the document size seem to be two different things. What I what to do is get the users monitor size then adjust my document size to match than and arrange my layout to fill the aspect ratio of their screen. Then use the stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; to fill the window.
View 0 RepliesDoes anyone know a way to dinamically modify a flash document's size at runtime?I have a drop down of which the item can have any number of pixels in height so it might be taller than the flash document. In this case i would need to resize the flash document and also resize the it in html so it won't be cut off.
View 4 RepliesHow can I change the size of the document dynamically? The document has a fixed size and when I use the Movieclip(root).width/height I change the size of the movieclip but not of the document. How can I access the width/height of the document?
View 3 RepliesIs there a way wherein I can enlarge the document property size and force the contents to align to the center? I'm new, so I probably started backwards. I made my file with animation just how I wanted it, then realized it would look better if I put a frame around it. But, when I enlarge the document properties to accommodate the frame, all content, including associated animations, are top flush left. I need them middle center.

View 8 RepliesIs it possible to change the size of the document (or stage) from an AS file?[code]...
but evidently it is not "Document" - or if it is, there is another include I need to use.
i know.... this is probably one of the most ridiculous questions, and is probably RIGHT in front of my face, or should be self explanitory, but since i'm new at this and i could really care less if someone calls me an idiot, i'm going to ask...how do you resize your flash file to fit a small/GIANT animation etc?
View 6 RepliesI have a flash file that a customer has sent me that needs changing. (It is a flash website header with links to the site pages and a logo above. I have deleted the logo above) One of the problems is the size. I would like to half the size of the document as there is a lot of white space in the top half where I am going to add a static logo to a webpage (with these flash site links below). When I open Flash CS4 and click Modify > Document..., I can change the height dimensions but the white background changes but the whole of the flash movie is now under the document.
How can I change the possition of either the rest of the document or the background of the document to fit under my movie so that the whole document displays as a flash movie at the correct size? Another problem that I am having is changing the links in the template to the page names that I am using on the site. I don't seem to be able to even find the buttons to make the changes. What ever I do to view them I can't 'see' them when scrolling the time line but when I export or preview the movie all the elements are there.
If the size of the Document object in a Flash application is not set explicitly, how is its size determined?
View 5 RepliesWith AS1/2 there was no way(that I know of) to determine the document size at runtime. You had to hard code in some vars. Although Stage.width and Stage.height would be the same as the document size when scaleMode is not 'noScale', if scaleMode is indeed 'noScale' then Stage.height and Stage.width represent the SWF size. This behavior appears the same in AS3, but I was wondering if there's any additions that make it possible?
View 3 RepliesActionScript Code:
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("crossball.swf", container);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
trace(container._width);
trace(container._height);
}
This always traces the width/height of the content of the external crossball.swf file, not its stage dimensions. So let's say crossball.swf has a document size of 200 by 200 pixels and in it is a shape of 115 by 30 it will trace the last as the width/height of 'container'. Is there any way to get the stage dimensions of an externally loaded swf through moviecliploader?
can you change the size of a flash document dynamically or with as3 and have the browser scroll bar recognize it and where could I find any information on this

View 1 RepliesI used flash 8 to make a dropdown menu for my webpage.
This menu is an horizontal bar which expands everytime you rollover one of its buttons.
My problem is, when i import it to my webpage (in dreamweaver) i get a huge square with the menu and the background (white colored) which represents my hole document.
Is there anyway to fit the menu size so that instead of a huge square I get only a small bar, but the vertical panels still show up when rolled over?
I've created a flash movie using 640x480 document size.In the published SWF file, the size looked fine when the window was maximized, but I've just published an HTML format, and all the the frame was really small and tucked in the top left corner of the browser.I've tried typing a "100%" value in the Height field of the HTML file, but this just centered the animation, it didn't scale it.
Is there any way to fix this problem? Do I have to go back to the FLA file and edit all the symbols and raw data, keyframe-by-keyframe?
1. Create a new Flash document of size 450—300.
2. Create two dynamic text fields on the left side of the stage. Type some text into them as I have done. Give them instance names of titleText and contentText.
3. Create a new empty movie clip (Insert -> New Symbol). Give it a name Image holder and hit OK.
4. Drag the image holder from the library to the stage. Position it right after the title text field (refer to screenshot). Give the image holder an instance name of imageHolder
5. Now we need to create the images that show up on the right side of each page. Feel free to use your own, or use the ones that I have. Remember the location where you save these images! You will need the path when we define the image sources in the XML document.

I am making a TV Display and I have made a photo slideshow, which loads from a .xml and I need to insert it into a MC. The MC is a drawn rectangle converted into a MC and I want to make the photos that load resize into the size of the MC. The .swf that I am loading into it is AS only set in the doc class. I have managed to load it into the main display, but it isn't keeping the MC size.

My website splash page is around 780x480 and the rest of the flash site is all 800x500. I'm not quite sure how to work this, but I want to have the splash page play automatically then go to the main page of the website. Can someone help me out with this? And does it matter that they are different sizes?
View 1 RepliesWithin my flash file, some of the layers/objects go off of the sides of the document as I want them to. When I play the file within the test movie function within flash, the file plays fine and none of the layers that extend of the document cause problems(the samething happens when I play it in flash player). But when I open the file in a web broswer the layers that extended off the edges of the document show up. Is there anyway to get rid of this without having to redo the whole file? (ie, crop around the main document size, or set it to export only everything within the document and nothing that extends off of it?)
View 1 RepliesAs it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?
Can I set the style of another document from it's parent document? At the moment its giving me the error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property StyleManager through a reference with static type DesignCardForm.
