I have just posted my new website made with Flash. It looks good on my computer (Safari browser), it looks good on my friends computer(Internet Explorer).But today I went to the local library and my website looks stretched, including it's videos. It looks like when you play DV video on HD television. Here is the link:URL...is the fault on my part? Did I do something wrong? Or is it their settings what makes this "effect"?
View 2 Replieslets say you have a whole website written in classes, and you have some items in the library as well (maybe some buttons, a picture for a background and so on...)what to do with all these simbols?leave them in the library, give them all a class name, and when the website loads access them like that, or pull them out on the stage, not neccessarily in the visible area, and not neccessarily on the first keyframe.
View 1 Repliessee this web link [URL]only background is stretched in browser all other elements remain same size. how we can do that.
View 2 RepliesI'm evaluating the differences between the purePDF and alivePDF libraries in flex, and I'm setting up some IO code so that I can save documents from either from a web based flex application.
AlivePDF gives a very convenient save() function that sends the data to a web service, which can simply bounce it back using Content-Disposition: Attatchment, but PurePDF has no such feature. How can I send the PDF data from purePDF to a webservice in a similar way?
I'd like to get something like hi-res.net home page. As you can see the background is streched but not the contents. Someone know how to get this with as?

Im working on a galleryviewer right now. I have a sprite that contains a thumbnail and has the exact size of the thumbnail. When you click on it the thumbnail fades away and the sprite grows to the size of the next image. Now the sprite grows to the right size of the bitmap. but when I add the bitmap it stretched way too big. Somehow when the sprite is resized the bitmap is too? even though it hasn't been added yet? I dont get it..
ActionScript Code:
internal function openGallery():void {
this.cacheAsBitmap=false;
var newWidth:int=500;
var newHeight:int=500;
var newXPos:int=_mainStage.stageWidth/2-newWidth/2;
[Code] .....
ImageTransformer.resizeImage() - returns a Bitmap that has been resized to fit within the dimensions.
I'm doing a small site in which I'm probably gonna use a simple layout and load the actual content as swf's into a box... So far, the listeners for the MovieClipLoader class works fine, but the loaded content (which has the same exact size as the box it is loaded into) is being scaled in a strange way. When I trace the width and height after the clip is loaded I get the numbers I want (mostly) but it still LOOKS stretched. I've checked that the container clip isn't scaled, I've set the xscale and yscale to 100, I've manually tried to set the width and height (with the onLoadInit listener AND the onLoadComplete listener) but the numbers does not work as they should... It does resize, but not to the exact values I give it.
View 4 RepliesI've been noticing a lot of fullscreen flash websites popping up all over the place and the size of the embedded flash movie is set to 100% x 100%. But then when you look at it, the text doesnt stretch. How do you keep the text from stretching to fit the window? Heres an example: [URL]
View 13 RepliesI'm loading in a small thumbnail into a MovieClip as part of my Thumb class... but when I add it to the stage, the height of the thumbnail is stretched dramatically.I've got my height and width set not only in the Thumb Class, but on the instance of the Thumb that is being added to the stage.
View 3 RepliesThis is my semi-finished art project URL...If you open it normally (providing you have a webcam) it works perfectly however I'm looking to showcase the piece on a projector and need to have it full screen.[code]I have made the piece so that the "orbs" rotate around the center point and the diamter of the rotation alters dependant on the activity level of the webcam. It looks very pretty when you open the swf. normally but when full screened the centres of rotation are completely off.Whats the best way around this? I'm in desperate need of full screen capability! [code]ps forgot to mention. all code is inside a blank movieclip called "orb" and then a copy of the movieclip is placed in every corner but flipped/rotated to achieve the butterfly/symmetry effect. this is the issue i belive that effects the full screen stuff.
View 1 RepliesI am developing a website in flex. And in that, i am trying to set the background image of my application. like this: parentApplication.setStyle("backgroundImage", data.image_src);

My issue is that, the images that i have are small and hence they are being stretched when used as background images. I want to avoid that from happening. How can i do it?
Is flash 2.0 able to access two computers at once? I was thinking of making a system that could work like a text instant messager and the ability to use a very primitive drawing system to send other people pictures. If anyone knows if it can be done could you point me in the direction to start?

I tried switching from tlf text to classic text.... but it didn't change at all.. can someone help please? I have been facing this problem for months now.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I am not very familiar with flash, in fact the only reason I used it was to add a player to my movie. I saved the skin and what I think is the movie file .swf on my desktop in the same file and it plays just fine. As soon as I try to play it on another computer the icon looks different (doesn't have the S on it anymore) and just looks like a foreign file. I am trying to get this to play asap if you could help to tell me if I'm missing a file that goes with it or something. When I hover over the two files they say Shockwave flash object.

i am trying to do somethings with matrix transform. i want some sprite to react according to mouse moment, so basically, according to mouse position, there are some statements and the result is a transform on the sprite.
something like
in onenterframe (or the handler that was set as handler of enterframe) {
temp_matrix = sprite transform
new_matrix = new Matrix();
[code]....
var2.concat with something else, then i check the value of var1, would it have changed also?, if so, is there a way to copy a matrix (but not cell by cell)?
I've created three swf-files and added to a website.Two are created the same way (AS2), by adding a quicktime-movie and exporting as a swf.
On my computer (mac) and n a PC I can view both movies, but on two other computers (mac) only one of them show up. I've tried to download quicktime player but without results.
first off, this is going to be a desktop application, not intended for the web. Ok, with that said, I need to be able to copy a file from one place in their comptuer and paste it on their desktop.

View 10 RepliesI created a Flash .exe that plays a couple FLV files, but in testing the files we've noticed some inconsistent playback on various computers and here's what we've found: On an Intel Zeon 3ghz quadcore 32bit Windows 7 machine, the playback is smooth and acceptable, using an average of 50% of all four cores during playback.
On a single core Windows XP PC, there is some playback hesitation using 100% of the single core during playback. On an Intel P4 3ghz with HT (dual core) 32bit Windows 7 machine, the playback is initially very choppy with continueing choppiness throughout to a somewhat lesser degree, using almost 100% of both cores continuously during playback.
We want to point this out because on PCs that are less than multi-core Intel Zeons, we would reasonably expect that the playback experience for the end user will be unsatisfactory. Is there anything that can be done about this to avoid this being a problem after the fact, as this client will be having many of these USBs manufactured.
I made a program using Flash Professional 10 and AS3, i published it. It all compiles and works fine on my coding computer. But when I try to view the program on other computers, via internet, or physically putting the files on the computer, it only displays as 5 dots counting up, over and over.

I am trying to play flash video on one computer and get a flash program (on another computer) to know what content is being played, so it can respond appropriately with related content.Has anyone got ideas on the best way to achieve this?I have tried using socket connections through a Java server with a policy file request, but after receiving delivery of the policy file as text over the socket, Flash won't reconnect to talk to the server. I can't figure out how to enable policy file logging either.
View 1 RepliesI was testing out the new website I just created[URL]...and it works perfect on most machines, but one computer, which is about 4 years old? just appears as a huge pink screen in the middle of the grey background. The only thing pink on the website is a content swf I called default. I used this to determine the height of the stage, and it shouldn't fill the entire stage, and it doesn't explain where the header and side bar are.
The computer is up to scratch with flash and IE and firefox, I'm out of possible answers. But also, this website is for a business too, so how many other computers would react in this way, and would hence loose business - considering this computer is apparently what we use to talk to the customer with, and how can we show off the website to customers if it doesn't work
I'm building an interactive projection which is beamed on a wall (flash app on computer1). There will also be a computer on the same location where a user can enter data (flash app on computer2). When saved i want the input flash app to send the entered data to the projection flash app (alsmost) instandly. Btw, once a user saves the data it will be stored in MySQL before sending it to the projection app. So i think the projection app only needs to know what record it has to get.
Things i found which might be usefull:
- XMLSocket (only found examples for rather complex multiplayer games)
- Flash Media Server (can share objects but a rather expensive solution)
url...The idea is that when you click on a subject area, it appears as though you zoom in on the map and then the information displays. Right now I only have content up in the contact and bio area, and it's just filler stuff.I sent it to her to get her initial feedback, and she's telling me that some things aren't displaying. Like the text in the bio section, or the photo in the bio section, and that things are generally 'screwy'.She's using a Mac OS 10.4, Safari 2.0. I got her to update her flash player, that didn't do it. I"ve never used a Mac so this is very foreign to me, and I'm entirely confused about it. Everyone else I"ve asked seems to not be having a problem at all, so I'm hoping maybe some of you find people could click the link and see if things seem to show up. Note that there is just placeholder stuff in the other areas for now.
View 4 RepliesI made an ad with Flash and published to a .swf file. When I uploaded to my website (used Dreamweaver CS4) it looks fine on my computer but on other computers the nice font I used is different, (plain fonts). Is there a better way to publish so the font is embedded into the file and not effected by the fonts on others computer?

View 1 RepliesA video should be loading to the second pane of this carousel[url]...
But, on some systems, the playback controls, and the video, are not loading. When working correctly, as the swf seems to do on some systems, the video is covered by a movie clip of the first frame, and then a play button is loaded atop the image. When a user clicks the play on the skin controls or the button that has been loaded on top of the video, the image and button are moved off the stage and the video plays.[code]...
