[CS3] Document/stage Height - Problem

Stage.width And Stage.height Not Matching Document Settings?
Ok, so I have no idea why this would be happening and its driving me nuts. I have my Flash movie size set to 960x650. However, when I trace stage.width and stage.height, I get:

950.05x630

Why in the world would this be happening? It's screwing up all the work I'm trying to put into positioning elements relative to the stage size. Thanks for any help!

Stage.width && Stage.height Doesn't Work Anymore?
How do you get Stage.width and Stage.height in ActionScript 3.0

2.0 this works like a charm. I guess they may have moved this inside a deeper class or something.

thanks in advance.

Stage.height And Stage.width Erratic Values?
Hey folks,

I was wondering if it happens in all Flash everywhere, or just in mine:

When I trace Stage.height and Stage.width, I always get erratic values:

Stage.height gets me always 4 pixels less than real
Stage.height gets me always 104 pixels less than real

This, way if my stage has 760 x 400, it will return values 756 x 296.

Anybody knows why?

Thanks!

Stage.width, Stage.height, Add.Listeners Problem
Hi
i found the way yesterday to ensure my mc stays full screen. now i want to animate the same mc if i can in reaction to a button click.

not sure how this next step goes. do i need another addlistener to the background mc that im tweening ?

kindly check the .fla. to see what i mean.
its very rough cut but hopefully you can get the gist of it.
when the text button is clicked, the bg reverts to the top left of the screen.

thanks

MX2004 -- Stage.height And Stage.width Different From Mac To Windows
I have a really strange problem that is ruining my movie. I have set the size of the stage to 450px by 400px in the properties dialog. In my actionscript, I've got all kinds of things that rely on Stage.width. So, I developed everything in MX2004 on Mac, and everything worked swimmingly. So, I opened up the exact same file in MX2004 and everything is placed wrong on the stage. So when I did a trace of Stage.width, I got 940px, and a trace of Stage.height gave me a figure of 763 pixels. If I do the same traces on the Mac, I get what I expect, 450px for width and 400px for height. Does anybody have any ideas as to what might cause this kind of discrepancy?

Thanks,
John

Document Height
Hi all

I'm using the script below to generate snow/fairy dust.

However I need it to begin falling not from the top of the flash file, but about 300px from the top. And the script will vary this slightly which is what I need.

Can someone let me know how to achieve this? I gather it involves reversing where the swf defines the beginning of 'height' (bottom as opposed to top) or somesuch...

Cheers



Code:
stop();

init = function () {
width = 573;
// pixels
height = 434;
// pixels
max_snowsize = 20;
// pixels
snowflakes = 40;
// quantity
for (i=0; i<snowflakes; i++) {
t = attachMovie("snow", "snow"+i, i);
t._alpha = 25+Math.random()*50;
t._x = -(width/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*width);
t._y = -(height/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*height);
t._xscale = t._yscale=50+Math.random()*(max_snowsize*10);
t.k = 1+Math.random()*2;
t.wind = -1.5+Math.random()*(1.4*3);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
}
};
mover = function() {
this._y += this.k;
this._x += this.wind;
if (this._y>height+150) {
this._y = -20;
}
if (this._x>width+20) {
this._x = -(width/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*width);
this._y = -20;
} else if (this._x<-20) {
this._x = -(width/2)+Math.random()*(1.5*width);
this._y = -20;
}
}
init();

all_mc.swapDepths(10000);

[help] Getting Info About Height Of Document
is there any way, using actionscript (mx, not mx 2004), to find out the height (or width) of a document?

i tried
Stage.height
but that also includes the height of the window (if a user drags a window of a flash movie it will change the stage height or width)

any suggestions?

Stage.width & Stage.height Problems
Why is it when I use this script attached to an empty movie clip the box seems to always be short on the height side? The width is fine. See attached FLV.

frame.fla.zip

Thanks in advance for any feedback.


Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
this._x = 0;
this._y = 0;
this.moveTo(0, 0);
this.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);
this.beginFill(0x000000, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width-1, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width-1, Stage.height-1);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height-1);

Stage.height & Stage.width Return 0
First, hey there, cool forum. This is my first post...anyways...

I'm having what, I want to assume, is a common issue and there's something I'm missing here...I have a flash movie that works fine (that is Stage.height and Stage.width) return their proper values when the actual SWF is played in the flash player, however, when I put the movie into an HTML page and set it's height and width to 100%, Stage.width and Stage.height are 0 and my neato script breaks.

I realize I'm scaling the movie, but it seems to me that Stage.width and Stage.height should work regardless...and the fact it gives me 0 is even more odd, as though it's not working at all.

Document Width & Height - Changing
Hi there!

I wanna change the height of my flash-movie, without scaling its contents.

When using "_root._height = 100;" the contens are shrinked,
what I wanna do is to just cut off the contents below 100pixels.
(as when you change the size of the document in mx: Modify->Document)


The reason that I wanna do this is, this:
-I have a "frame-swf", with buttons that load .swf-files into itself.

-When loading a .swf that is very "tall", I want the height of the
"frame-swf" to change, so that I can use the browsers scrollbars to
scroll.

I hope you understand what I mean..


I use FlashMX.
Thanks!

[MX] Resizing Flash Document Height
Hello, I am working on a flash site and I am nearly done, however, I have now found out that i have to create more room at the top of the flash movie, however when i tried to increase the height of the document, it used the top of the document as the anchor and space was created at the bottom of the document. When I tried to select the all of the frames to push the movie down on the page to create room at the top, only some of the items were moved. How do I create room at the top of the file?

Setting Document Width And Height From XML
Hi!

I'm trying to figure out if this is even possible. I want to upload an xml file with my swf and have my XML set the swf's width and height. So if I know my viewers will have a screen resolution of 800 x 600, then I can set my swf to fit their browser's window from the XML itself. Some have suggested making it autosize for the browser, however I don't want to do that. I would like to be able to set it from an XML file...

Thanks!!!!!!!

How To Change Document Height Within Flash Itself?
Hi guys, this is my first time creating a flash website. Not sure if this is the right way of doing...

I'm using an index.swf which contains only the navigation bar, buttons and an empty movie clip. Everytime i press a button, i load a new .swf file through the empty movie clip.

The problem i'm having now is that my index.swf height is 400 pixels. If i load another page which is more than that height, how do i stretch the flash file using actionscript (or other methods) to a height of say 800 pixels?

Can it even be done? Cause i look through the help files and i came across document.height which looks like it may do the trick... but it dosen't work when i add it on my button.


ActionScript Code:
on (release){
   document.height = 400;
}

Trimming The Document Height Without Affecting Other Objects
I have a small but potentially huge problem. My doc height is 770. I want it trimmed down to 700 however when I change the value in the modify document window the document gets trimmed from the bottom up not top down. This means I would have to go in a onion skin all and reposition everything. Not a good idea and not safe. Way too many objects to be messin with.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Flash Publishes Different Height & Width Than Document Settings
So I have the document witdth and height set to 523x247 but when I look at the HTML that flash publishes, it is calling 550x247. Has anyone ever seen this before? It actually looks better with the larger height/width that flash publishes! If reassign those values to what I thought they should be, document size, some artifact appears.

Puzzled,

Stage.width, Stage.height
Does anyone know why the stage dimensions are coming out wrong. I have a movie set at 800 x 600. I do trace(Stage.width);
trace(Stage.height); and get 796 and 596. What's going on here? I have seen at least one other post with the same issue, but there were no responses.

Stage Width Vs. Stage Height
hello.
still looking how to maintain max. stage width and height. i have managed to achieve it on the width, but for some reason have been unable to do it for the height. that is, i have managed to make a line go from one side to the other (almost) but cant figure out how to do it on the vertical.
zbot is the horiz line at the botton
ztop for the one above
the problem, is for xleft (the vertical lineon the left)
i have included what i think to be the nearest code yet, and a fla.

any help, thanks a lot.




Code:
Stage.align = "LT";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
bg._width = System.capabilities.screenResolutionX-20;
bg._height = System.capabilities.screenResolutionY-70;
bg.onResize = function() {
this._x = (Stage.width-this._width)/2;
this._y = (Stage.height-this._height)/2;
};
Stage.addListener(bg);
zbot._x = 62;
zbot.onResize = function() {
this._width = Stage.width;
};
Stage.addListener(zbot);
////
xleft._x = 270;

};
Stage.addListener(zbot);
////
ztop._x = 62;

Stage.width Stage.height Help

Stage.height
Sorry to bother you all but I'm wondering if you know whether I can alter the stage size directly from within actionscript? Can I just use

Stage.height = 500;

I've tried this as a frame action but to no effect. Do you know if you can alter stage height directly like this?

Regards,

Stage.height = 0?
I'm making a 728x90 banner in Flash MX 2004 - publishing as Flash 6 AS 1.0

trace(Stage.width) yields an output of 728 at all times

I put trace(Stage.height) in an onEnterFrame function - the first iteration yeilds 0, the second and all following yield 90

Any way I can fix this or do I just have to work with the fact that Stage.height isn't defined before my actionscript starts?

Stage.height
I am embedding my flash movie with a height of 700px.

How would I be able to detect if the clients browser is displaying over 700px in height? I will be collecting this information in realtime with use of a stage listener.

Stage.height would not help in this instance as there will always be a render of 700. (because of the embedded parameter) I’m also trying to stick to actionscript as apposed to javascript on this one.

Does anybody know how I may solve this problem?

Thanks in advance..

---

Stage.height
quick little bug I haven't been able to figure out.

Or something of the sort, at least.

Stage.height has been reporting 100 pixels less than the actual stage's height lately. Of course, I could just add 100 and move on my way, but I was wondering if anyone could actually point me in the direction of what is actually going on.

Get Stage Height
I'm building a component in MX 2004 (although it applies to MX as well) and I'm having difficulties retrieving the stage height and width of the movie. Within a movieclip I've placed this code:

The trace command outputs a variable of 'undefined'. Why is this?

---

Stage Height
when I preview my movie, the stage height is always returned 100 pixels less than the actual height. This doesn't happen when the movie is previewed in a browser.

Does anyone have an answer to why this is happening? I've seen the problen addressed elsewhere, but with no reason/solution....

---

Stage Height
I am new at this so hopefully this won't be too complicated. I have a home page that loads a .swf file when it opens. The buttons on the home page load a new .swf file using LoadMovieNum. My problem is that each of these files is a different height. If I make the home page long enough to scroll the .html file then those that are shorter have a lot of white space at the end. An example is the height of the home page is 1200. The other .swf files being loaded vary from 650 to 1200. The one that is 650 has a lot of extra white space to scroll through. Thanks in advance for helping.

Stage.height Bug?
There seems to be a Stage.height bug in Flash CS3?

My movie is 800x600.

However while testing my movie in Flash CS3 it returns 800 x 500!
When running SWF in Player it returns 800 x 600.


Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Hi guys,

Is there a bug with stage height in Flash? Every time I use that and run a trace statement, it's wrong.

Stage.height Problem
Having some trouble with the Stage class. I know about the "bug" with stage.height but i still cant get it to work right. Ive got a stage height set manually to 400 px but when i run this loop: code:
this.onEnterFrame=function() {
count++;
trace(count+ " "+Stage.height);
}
//it returns:
//1 300
//2 300
//3 586
//4 586
//5 586
//...etc

programming in flash 7 as2.0, but published in 6 and 1.0 does the same thing. what a head scratcher. anybody?

Stage.height Returning 0
Hi all,

Has anyone else found that the Stage object sometimes returns a height of 0 for the first 5-10 frames of a movie loading?

I have a swf that's resizing content according to what size the stage is set to, I need to get this set up on the first frame, which is impossible when Stage.height is lying about it's value!

Has anyone else experianced anything similar, or found a workaround?

Cheers,
Tom

Stage.height Read-only ?
Is the Stage.height property read-only ? Is there any way I can modify it while the movie is playing ?

Browsed the web and the only thing that I found was a post in which someone was saying that it might be possible with JS but didn't gave any details on how to do it.

Stage Height Problem... Please Help
I have some code that I put together and am having problems with it now. It is originally was intended for fullscreen but I want to now restrict it to the size of a container I will load it into. Say it will be 900 x 617.5. Can someone take a look and talk with me about it.


PHP Code:

Move To The Stage Height
When I tell an object to move to the 'Stage.height' it moves to the bottom edge. How do I get it to move to the opposite end (the top) while taking everyones screen resolution into consideration?

Stage Height On Loading Swf Into Another
Hi,

I am sure this is a common issue and hopefully there is a solution:

If I load an swf into another swf is there a way of getting the stage height of the child moviclip.

I know the loaded movieclip stage will be the same as the parents (i.e. I know there is only one stage)

So what I need is a way of setting a variable in the child swf when it is published based on the height of the childs stage that can be accessed but will not be changed by the parent.

Does this make sense? I am looking for the most simple solution possible - I am aware I could make transparent MCs and get the height but this means I would have to resize this mc every time I need to adjust the childs stage height.

Any help/ideas appreciated.

Stage Height/Width
I have searched, and for some reason, I cannot get this.

I want to get the width and height of the stage, and set one of my objects to that height and width...

I currently have this:


ActionScript Code:
videoP.height = Stage.stageHeight;
videoP.width = Stage.stageWidth;

How Get Stage.height 100% In Mozilla?
Problem: Mozilla doesn't recognize Stage.height as other browsers do. I like to place a object relative to the height the users like their windows to be. Say I want to place a mc_ 30px above the bottom of the stage. In most browsers this is not a problem.

Like this:
mc_._x = Stage.height-30;

But, in Mozilla, no go. Can anyone help me with this? I've searched the web for a couple of hours, but found no solution yet ... Also, when I trace the value in Mozilla, I always get "Height:200", but the Width works fine (!?)

Stage.height And Width
Code:

this._x = 0 - (Stage.width - 780)/2 + 20;

this._y = 0 - (Stage.height - 570)/2 + 20;

This will give me top and left site 20px away..
How do i fix this for bottom and right side.

And the 2nd Question is.

Is there a solution to call for example 5 swf's and give him
something like width = 20%

Hope you know what i mean.

Stage.height Problems
Hi everyone: I have been having this really weird issue.

Flash is not measuring the height of my stage correctly: it cuts off 100 pixels. I have no idea what is the deal. I tried with brand new documents, and without fail, when I trace Stage.height, I get the wrong value...so it is obviously impossible to center anything without specifying pixel values.

Anyone else had the same problem, and possibly fixed it???

By the way, I am using an Intel iMac, Flash Professional 8 and Flash player 9, if any of this matters.

Thank you all: any help would be appreciated.
