I have Flash 8. I created a Flash movie a number of years ago, probably in an early version of Flash. I use it on my website. I want to redesign my site and make the movie smaller from the standpoint of making the canvas/stage size smaller. I don't mean just compressing the flash movie to a smaller swf. Is there some quick way to do this without having to recreate the movie and put in smaller elements?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to skin a canvas with an image (which is essentially a custom border for the canvas). I've been trying the backgroundImage style as well as the borderSkin style. I can't get the image to scale to the full size of the canvas though. I was wondering what the best way to go about this is.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI am trying to shrink the size of my .swf. I have done all I can think of off the top of my head, but it is still too big.
Is there a way to tell what the size of library objects are and/or a way to identify which parts of your .fla are adding to the size of your .swf.
I'm using the "loadMovie" method and according to the using flash manual.. it's supposed to import a swf and resize it to the size of the movieclip it's replacing... only here's the problem.. I cant get it to shrink the incoming swf to the size of the clip calling the method... it keeps importing the swf at full size..

I have a generalized media player web app that I wish to be able to use flash in. The client uploads the flash to a particular directory, and a webpage is produced automatically that houses that flash file. The output of this process currently looks something like this:

<PARAM value="always" name="allowScriptAccess" />

As part of requirements for a new feature of "locking" a page, it is desired to have all elements on a locked page be non-selectable. This is not to be confused with disabled. All elements should appear as if the page were active, but not be selectable.The current thought is to create a clear canvas and place it over the existing elements. With this thought, I have two questions:if you can think of a better way to make all items non-selectable than applying a clear canvas element over the existing elements could you describe it?if not, what is the best way to retrofit existing implementations to accept the overlayed canvas item? BTW, all .mxml pages inherit from a custom .as file.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to develeop a Graph Structure with drag and drop features in Flex. I have to connect various components/children on the canvas. Once i drag n drop the components on the canvas, i am using SystemManager event handlers to draw connectors between the components. But, as i click on one component and drag the mouse, the line is drawn on the canvas as long as my mouse stays only on the canvas. If the mouse moves over a component/child(that has been dragged and dropped onto the canvas), the line is drawn to the origin of the canvas from the first clicked component. How shud i recognize the component when i move my mouse over the component? I want the line to be drawn connecting the components once my mouseup event is called.

View 1 RepliesI generate panels dynamically and put them in other states in that way so in one state you have a list of panels on the left and one big panel on the right for example in one state and when you click on the list on the left (with small panels) that panels takes the places of the big panel and the big one goes back in the place. So I have 50 panels on the left and i want to scroll them down but I don't want to big panel to go down with them I want it fixed. this is where I got and I don't know how to do that here is my code:
enter code here

{
blurEffect= new BlurEffect(myBlur,myUnBlur);

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a fullscreen chat program using Flash AS3, and so far, everything is going well, except for when the window is resized, the whole thing is proportionally resized.I would like it to ONLY resize the chat text area, when the resize is done vertically, keeping the controls the same height consistently, also I would like the buttons for sending the chat to maintain their size, with the input box increasing in width when the size is increased horizontally.Obviously the SWF resizing will be done by JavaScript/jQuery .onResize() and thus I will be able to set a mimimum width and height for the swf, maintaining usability.

View 2 RepliesAnyone here know the maximum size of a Flex canvas or UIComponent? I know the old MovieClip class was limited to 2800x2800px.

I'm making a site for my friend and she getting pedantic about each set of photos fitting into one horizontal scroll window, only problem, each set of photos has 20 + images in them.
I read somewhere that its poss to use actionscript to arrange a bogus the starting x point on the main canvas, but surely this would only wok if you're scrolling from right to left?
Another thought I had is to embed a button at the end of the canvas size limit which the user clicks on to load the next part othe series, but this would feel clunky and like a compromise + when I've tried linking the swf of this menu into the main movie the button doesn't work.
My friend has been insistent on a scroller rather than dynamically loading images (which can be slow too).
I recently contributed a soundtrack to a flash movie. The canvas size of the document was 550x400px, and we tried to export it in near-HD format to various formats. This resulted in either no video (DivX/Xvid export) or in a real bad quality so that even a screen capture would produce much better results. My question is: can it be related to that the canvas needs to have at least the size of the desired export? The person creating the movie assumed/stated it would easily resize on export since it is vector material / high res images, but the results are rather ugly

View 2 RepliesI am building a graphic component in MXML that has different states, each state having its own size. I have a "normal" state and a "highlighted state", the highlighted one having a higher height. On this components I implemented a function to be executed on each mouseOver and mouseOut to change from normal state to highlighted state and back. My problem is, in the highlighted mode, the mouseout event is triggered according to the size of the normal state.

I'm developing a Zoom tool in my Flex App, so I'm using scaleX and scaleY property to simulate this behaviour.But when I scale my Canvas, its size change as well (obviously). The problem is that I have this Canvas inside another Canvas, so the first Canvas can't be smaller than the second one.Here is an image before and after apply zoom changing scale property in both axis:At the left, the original Canvas. At the right, Canvas after update its scale (red rectangle is the original size at 1:1, and green is after resize).I need to extend the Canvas to take up the red rectangle (not the green).

My artist drew a beautiful island but it's 5000 in width. We scroll it as it's for a Virtual World. - it's in layers and we scroll the different layers at different speeds. Flash documentation states that the limit is 2880 BUT it does work in the player i.e.: you can see the full island but it does run a little slow.
Should I
a. Create a smaller island of 2880 which is a shame as I would have to get rid of a lot of good stuff
b. Split it into two images and dynamically connect them with code.
Also, I have different layers scrolling at different speeds which would make things more difficult to look natural.
In general, I haven't yet found a definitive way to get Flex and Spark containers to size themselves relative to their children. I have searched for good documentation for this concept many times but have yet to find anything that sufficiently explains the concepts. A simple example of something I often want to do is to draw a border uniformly around a set of controls. The goal here would be to have all UI elements to size themselves automatically.
<s:BorderContainer>
<s:HGroup>
<s:Label text="l1" />
<s:Label text="very long label 2" />
</s:HGroup>
</s:BorderContainer>
I would want the Labels to size themselves based on the text property, and the HGroup should be as big as needed to contain labels and BorderContainer should only just contain that HGroup. Now the more complicated example that I am working on now. I have a class that extends the BorderContainer. Within the class I create an HGroup with 5 Labels as children of the HGroup. Then the HGroup is added as a child of the ExtendedBorderContainer (using addElement() method).
Then the new class is used in the application as:
<mx:ViewStack>
<s:NavigatorContent>
<my:ExtendedBorderContainer />
</s:NavigatorContent>
<!-- more NavigatorContents here -->
</mx:ViewStack>
I have tried various [max|min]height/width combinations and I can not get the desired layout, which is very tight borders around elements without extraneous space starting from the deepest Label children all the way up to the NavigatorContent.

Is there anyway (with action scripting) when having a Flash Video set to Expand to 100% Width and Height to have certain elements within that video maintain their inherent size and not scale ?URL...Notice how the BG Scales, but the video in the center does not nor does the footer. Is this performed with CSS and using multiple DIVs with varying Z Indices.
