Flash :: 0.1 Pixel Issue On Sizing And Positioning

Loaded Swf Sizing Positioning
searched thru forum, not yet found an answer

i have to load a bunch of swf banners into a main page, and i need to resize and position them to certain places. however, these swf banners are built by our clients and when they are loaded, their sizes are much bigger due to offscreen animation or huge bg image. for instance a 480x40 swf is actually 728x200 after loaded into a movie. how do i handle that? obviously i cant scripting for everything single one of them since there are just way too many, and every swf can have different size after being loaded into the stage.

is there any functions or something that can just get the exporting size of the swf or just ignored the areas that outside of the banner area? any comment would help. thanks

Wierd Dynamic Sizing / Positioning Problem
OK so i wrote some code dynamically rezise and position an mc which is having an image laoded into it using the MovieClipLoader class. All was working fine until i added my re-positioning code. (at least i think it was, i was tinkering around with it still at 4am....) Anywho... now if you load (for example, it does vice verca) a wide image first (width>height) it scales fine (and is centered fine) If you then load a long image (height>width) it centers fine but this time it makes it 11.25 pixels shorter than than it's supposed to be... Which is wierd considering i'm using Math.round before i scale it!

Here is the MovieClipLoader functions (i removed the onLoadProgress, onLoadComplete & onLoadError functions as they make no reference to the target MC and would make this post even longer :P) :

Code:
//create an instance of MovieClipLoader
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCL.onLoadStart = function(targetMC) {
var loadProgress = myMCL.getProgress(targetMC);
//to reset position of target MC
targetMC._y = 20;
targetMC._x = 20;
};
myMCL.onLoadInit = function(targetMC) {
//the size i wish it to be scaled to in 1 axis
var size = 275;

if (targetMC._height>targetMC._width) {

while (targetMC._height>size) {
targetMC._height -= Math.round(targetMC._height/size);
targetMC._width -= Math.round(targetMC._width/size);
}
//repositioning code
var diffx = (size-targetMC._width);
targetMC._x += diffx/2

} else if (targetMC._width>targetMC._height) {

while (targetMC._width>size) {
targetMC._height -= Math.round(targetMC._height/size);
targetMC._width -= Math.round(targetMC._width/size);
}
//repositioning code
var diffy = (size-targetMC._height);
targetMC._y += diffy/2
myTrace("diff is "+diffy);
}

};
it's really annoying because it dosen't seem to affect the positioning, which i thought it would???

please HELP!!!

love you all

Is It Possible To Turn Off Sub-pixel Positioning?
I am setting up a Flash movie with a variety of bitmaps and just want to have it play at a fixed size. In this case the "34.3" kind of positioning thing is redundant and I find it makes for very fiddly alignment issues. Is there a way to force sizing and alignment to conform to integer pixels?

Sizing Issue
Hi there
I have a flash movie that when loaded, expands to fullscreen. This movie loads 3 or 4 external SWFs and my issue is that when they load them, they get sized up or down according to the resolution/monitor size. Is there any way to fix the size of the movies that get loaded so that the loaded swf's don't stretch/distort?

Thanks

PullDownMenu Sizing Issue
I copied a Javascript pulldown idea as an excercise in Flash, but I am wondering if it is even possible to do the same thing with flash in terms of interaction with the rest of the site content.

Working example (using Javascript instead of Flash):
http://madlab.tv/vin/hughey/TestWithFlashMenu3.html

Problem examples (using Flash):
http://madlab.tv/vin/hughey/TestWithFlashMenu2.html

http://madlab.tv/vin/hughey/TestWithFlashMenu.html

Either the Flash stage is too large and disruptive to the rest of the site content, OR the pull-downs don't have enough room to open up properly.

Is there some Flash 'background' trick I am missing? ...or is this just not possible with Flash?

Thanks guys...

I have a site fully complete. its sitting at 1000x1000. My question regards Actionscript,

"is there a way I can resize my site to 800x800 without loosing much of the .png quality when reduced." I did some research today, and came across these concepts:

Dynamic Text Box Sizing Issue
I have some dynamically generated buttons.
So I made a button, slapped my dynamic text box on it and made the text centered. Problem is the text of the buttons varies in length. So the spacing of the buttons seems really wide between some buttons and too small between others (partly because there's no background to the button, its just the text). Anyway to get around this?
Can I limit the size of the dynamic textbox/button to the length of the text loading into it?? tia.

Scrollbar Component Sizing Issue
OK, so I've hacked my way through changing the look of the scrollbar component to having no arrows top or bottom, and a .25 thick line instead of the thick gray "scroll track". I did this by editing the FS ScrollBar skins in the library window.

My goal is to have a thin line with just a circle as the "thumb" riding the track up and down to display the text in the field to the left. However, when I replace the thumb_middle with the circle movie clip I want, the circle stretches to accommodate the height of my scroll bar and text field. I cannot find any properties or other reasons why this occurs. Maybe it's standard.

Is it possible to do? Is there a more "official way to create skins for the ScrollBar that I need to try? Does this type of scrollbar already exist?

Thanks for your time.

Weird Button Sizing Issue...
Kinda new to AS3/Flash, and I'm having a strange issue with the Button Component.

The default button component size is 100px. If I put a button on the stage and alter it's dimensions (using the properties panel, and/or the instanceName.width property in AS3) to 20px/20px, and place it near the edge of the stage, a trace of the stage.width shows an increase in stage size as if the button is still 100px wide. This occurs with and without a label...

What's up with that?

Pocketpc Sizing Issue On 2003 Devices ?
Hi all,

I have a pocket pc flash project that uses the screensize of 239 Width to 261 Height

The screen renders correctly on my 2002 device, but on a 2003 device it seems to squash and i have no idea why this is???

I have not changed any of the coding in the flash or the html ??

I am not using percentages for size in the HTML i am using pixels.

Can anyone give me some advice on this or point me in the right direction of some forums ???

thanks in advance

Loader Component Image Re-sizing Issue
When the loader appears on the stage sometimes the image will not scale down.
I have the scale feature set to True and it still does this at times on the first load.
The problem may be resolved with a listener on Load if anybody has a solution
I would be greatfull.

Thank you,

Full Page Flash Repositioning/Sizing Issue
I have a main movie (Full Browser Flash site)...and within that movie there is a global navigation and a container for loading all of the external pages...Both of these items are centered horizontally (I locked vertical movement)

The container is 500x500 and the external movie's stage size is also set at exactly 500x500...

The problem: When I add elements in the external movie clip "off stage" (like a clip flying in from the side) the main movie container includes these items in measuring total "_width" of the external clip which causes the size to change from 500x600 to something like 560x500 ...even though I have the stage size in the external movie set correctly at 500x500

This is a problems with centering the container clip as these items don’t even actually appear in the external movie until they hit the stage (masked in)…so the container ends up looking “off center” wihtin the main movie ...when the stage is resized (Yes..i have a function that is tweening movement on stage resize…and it works fine as long as the external clips dont have items off stage that apparently increase the loaded width/height within the container)

Basically, everything works fine until I add items off stage in the external MC's, but I will need to do this...

Any help would be great, thanks

Positioning Issue With Actionscript
Can anyone help me out. I have this script that pulls images from an xml file and rotates them as a slideshow in a swf file. the problem is that the images do not load in the top left corner. i don't see anything that would make me believe there is a margin. Here is the code:

} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");

Positioning X,y,height Issue
I'm a bit new to AS and I couldn't find anything on this already here, so here goes: I'm having issues positioning and sizing objects on the stage in a reliable manner.

Take the following test: I want to create a movieclip at 0,453 with a height of 76. The problem is that setting the y value to 453 actually places the clip at 0,474 (based on print screen and counting pixels). Setting y to 432 puts it at 453, so where are the extra 21 pixels coming from?

As a bonus fail, setting the height to 76 (or anything) makes the entire clip disappear.

This is on an empty stage, so I'm a bit confused as to what's going on. I'm sure it's something basic, I'm just not comfortable enough in the environment (yet) to know what.

Thanks.
David

Attach Code

// ----------------------------------
// add clip to stage.
var thumbsHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
this.addChild(thumbsHolder);
thumbsHolder.y = 453; // <-- actually placed at 474
//thumbsHolder.height = 76; // <-- this will cause the MC to not show up

// place pic in clip (works fine)
var loader = new UILoader();
loader.source = "pics/001t.jpg"; // <-- pic size is 100x56
loader.x = 10;
loader.y = 0;
thumbsHolder.addChild(loader);

MX - Scaling And Positioning Issue...
I have a movie clip
clip01_mc
which contains another movie clip
subClip_mc

What I would like be able to do is... rescale the parent movie (clip01_mc) without affecting the scale of the child (subClip_mc)... is this possible to achieve? And is this possible to achieve whilst maintaining the positioning of the child clip.

so if clip01_mc would scale to 500percent, the subClip_mc would remain unaffected, although would reposition itself in relation to the scaled parent clip.

I believe that makes some sense... Is there a tutorial, or a similar post, at this stage I havent managed to find one...

Thanks for the help...

MAJOR ISSUE With Absolute Positioning
Please Help

I am constantly getting IEXPLORER.EXE Application Errors on pages that contain my embeded SWF files. I have a drop down menu I created in Flash MX and another embed movie running on the same page. The problem is that I had to use FrontPage to give them absolute postioning and Z- orders so the menu drops over the HTML and other embeded SWF file. When clicking a link to go to this page form the Flash menu, I get the IEXPLORER.EXE Application Error. If I do not use Absolute postioning, then I do not get the error.

I have to be able to use Absolute position thouh...please help. I have tried everything I know and nothing is working.

Pixel Font Issue With IMG SRC
I'm having a pixel font issue in mx2004 (no, not the same old pixel issue everyone has).

I've noticed that when you embed an image into a textbox and are using pixel fonts, the fonts become blurred on the first list.

Here's an example....
http://www.mixart.com/misc/pixelfontTEST.html

- text boxes are on exact pixels
- fonts are embedded
- aliasing is set correctly

Has anyone else come across this or know of a work-around?

Looping Pixel Issue
Hi

I have the code listed below which I wrote to loop through a movie clip and gather each pixel and send to PHP for saving.

The problem is a few colours seem to come through as hex '0' such as 240CD4 ( which is supposed to be blue ) and 0F9E13 which is supposed to be green. All the other colour codes come through just fine, its just these two colours that are sent back from getPixel as '0' ??

Code:
on ( press ) {

import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;

var cWidth:Number = this.Character._width;
var cHeight:Number = this.Character._height;

// Create the new copy area bitmap
// the same width and height as the character
// white background
var cCopyImage:BitmapData = new BitmapData( cWidth, cHeight, false );

// Draw the character into the new
// bitmap
cCopyImage.draw ( this.Character );

// Create an empty movie clip
// to show the copied image
var CharacterCopy:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip( "CharacterCopy", this.getNextHighestDepth());

// Attache the bitmpa to the new movie
CharacterCopy.attachBitmap( cCopyImage, this.getNextHighestDepth());

// Loop through the Y pixels
// to gather all data needed
var AllPixels:String;

for ( yCount = 0; yCount <= cHeight; yCount++ ) {

for ( xCount = 0; xCount <= cWidth; xCount++ ) {

// Get the pixel we are at
var CurrentPixel = cCopyImage.getPixel ( xCount, yCount ).toString ( 16 );

// Add to total
AllPixels = AllPixels + CurrentPixel + ",";

}

}

//trace ( AllPixels );

// Send the output to php
//Create the LoadVars object and pass data to PHP script
var output:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
output.img = AllPixels.toString();
output.height = cHeight;
output.width = cWidth;

output.sendAndLoad("http://www.gewebdevelopment.co.uk/glenelkins/Test2/test.php", output, "POST")

output.onLoad = function(){

trace(output.allIs);

CharacterCopy.removeMovieClip();

};

Pixel Shift Issue
I am dynamically loading thumbnail jpegs into movie clips. The images are shift to the right by 1 pixel. Why is that? I can't add a transparent border b/c loadMovie only works with jpegs (unless I got the tedious route of putting a bunch of png's into a swf and loading the swf , but that's too tedious). I've also tried alpha and tint tricks.

Any ideas why Flash isn't doing this just right? The registration point is exactly the top-left corner (0,0).

Thanks!

Age Old Pixel Shift Issue
Im working on a great new site and its in the final phases but we just noticed the pixel shift.
Its at the very top of a few different png's. All have transparent backgrounds.

I have tried changing the optimization of the png and I have unchecked the allow smoothing.

I put each png in its own symbol at x = 2 y = 2 (a suggestion I heard once).

None of the above has worked at all. Are there any more solutions?

Tahoma Pixel Font Issue
Hey Guys

For a long time I noticed that Flash dynamic textfield's using Tahoma (11 pixels) would not space the characters correctly. I recently realised that this can be fixed by not embedding the font. However on Mac these fonts will not display as pixel fonts as they will use the aliasing of the operating system.

Does anyone know a workaround to this problem. A pixel version of Tahoma would solve this issue. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Thanks in advance

Positioning & Function Issue With Full Browser Flash
Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with getting external .swf's to load and position properly in my full browser flash site. I used a template I created for an XML slideshow which worked perfectly, but now the positioning and stage listener doesn't seem to work properly.

Here is the AS in frame one of the stage. Content is to be externally loaded into an MC called "container". The problem is, the container is not showing up initially until I resize the browser or .swf window, and when it does show up, the registration point is all wrong. I put the loadMovie script on a button since it was not loading at all with a simple loadMovie script on a keyframe. This seems to load the movie properly, but once it's loaded, not only is it positioned to the bottom right of the screen, it doesn't move at all when I resize the browser!

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

ActionScript Code:
/////////////// Full Browser Control//no scalestop();Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";Stage.align = "LT";//white background centeredwhiteBackground_mc._y = Stage.height/2;whiteBackground_mc._x = Stage.width/2;//bottom nav centeredbottomBar_mc._y = Math.floor(Stage.height); bottomBar_mc._x = 0;//container centeredcontainer._x= Math.round(Stage.width/2 - this._width/2);container._y= Math.round(Stage.height/2 - this._height/2);//EM logo top leftbadge_mc._x= 0;badge_mc._y= 0;//counter bottom rightcounter._x= Math.floor(Stage.width);counter._y= Math.floor(Stage.height);whiteBackground_mc.onResize = function() {// white background is always centeredthis._y = Stage.height/2;this._x = Stage.width/2;};Stage.addListener(whiteBackground_mc);//container.onResize = function() {// main content is always centeredthis._y = Math.round(Stage.height/2 - this._height/2);this._x = Math.round(Stage.width/2 - this._width/2);};Stage.addListener(container);bottomBar_mc.onResize = function() {this._y = Math.floor(Stage.height); this._x = 0;};Stage.addListener(bottomBar_mc);badge_mc.onResize = function() {this._y = 0; this._x = 0;};Stage.addListener(badge_mc);counter.onResize = function() {this._y = Math.floor(Stage.height); this._x = Math.floor(Stage.width);};Stage.addListener(counter);

Pixel Line With DrawRect Resize Issue
Hi all,

Im basically doing some line art using drawRect, just to draw various 1px lines, whether it be 1px high and 100% wide or 1px wide and 100% high.

The complete flash movie is resizable (a requirement). At the moment as you'll see in my pic attached, not all lines are being rendered the same. Now i know because im making the movie scale, the lines cannot remain at 1px, but what i dont understand is why some go to 2px while some are still 1px, then resize it, most go to 3px but some are 4px?

Like i said im drawing them with drawRect:

PHP Code:

var line4 = new Sprite(); line4.graphics.beginFill(0x000000); line4.graphics.drawRect(introPanel.width/4, 636, 1, 636/2); line4.graphics.endFill();

Is there a better was to draw them? or is there some setting to not smooth them into a blured 2px instead of one?

Another Pixel Font Issue (have Searched Forum For An Answer)
OK - i am getting so fed up... i have followed so many different guides on pixel fonts etc... so i understand they must align on exact decimal places... and i understand they must be at the right size. This is fine. What happens in my .Fla seems ok as well, and when i test the pixel fonts in my .swf everything looks crisp and clean.

However - i havent embeded the actual text because when i do this everything screws up. The text goes blurry and the pixel fonts dont look good anymore. So what will happen on someone elses PC?

Will they still be able to see the font as it should look or are the going to see a default text. It is so annoying!

I have made all my pixel fonts as dynamic text as well, because in static mode the blur occurs again. Someone please help me!

Sizing Photos For An Auto Sizing Gallery
I want to put together a flash gallery of photography for my photography business. I am very good at Photoshop design, html, css, javascript but I am a novice with flash. I can use it and use some actionscripting but my knowledge is limited.

I see galleries like this one: http://www.jeshderox.com/

The images expand and contract perfectly as the browser is resized. I am used to having to size pics for the lowest res screens (I design for 1024 width resos's usually).

What size should I make pictures to work like this... Does flash scale them down / up / either... are there quality issues with letting flash manage the sizing.

Add any answers to thoughts you know I should have asked...

Flash Moving Small Images Pixel By Pixel, No Anti
Hi guys, sorry if this has been answered before I did my best to search for it but I didnt know what to search for.

I have a very small tree image (85x85 px) and I broke it up into parts. I plan to animate the tree with a breeze going through it. I had all my images aligned, got the motion tweens in, but when I play it it is VERY rough.. ie: over 30 frames for one movement it only visually moves twice, *very blocky movement*.

Im using 24bit pngs with transparency. If I could just get it to sway smoothly...
I tried playing with movie speed but with no difference, it still seems like blocky movement.

Any suggestions?
cuz damn if this dont work I'll have to scrap this idea

[CS3] Preloader Showing A Mask Pixel-by-pixel
Hi, everyone!

This is my first post here. I'm from Brazil and a basic ActionScript 2.0 programmer.

What I need to do is a preloader which is going to show a 543x513 pixel bitmap image by creating 1x1 pixel squares randomly inside a mask until it fills it up when it reaches 100% loaded.

So, trying to explain in differently, it's going to add pixel dots randomly in the mask to progressively show the image until the preloader is at 100%.

Can anybody give me a hand? Thank you in advance!

Creating Objects Pixel By Pixel
Let me try to explain this without sounding waay too confusing...

I have a concept that I would like to try with building "menus" pixel by pixel. Having the pixels drop from the top of the screen to the location of the specific "box" and that box being built up from each pixel.

Am I making any sense? If I am, please read on. . .

I am wondering if this is possible to do with actionscript, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction to figure out how to do so.

I REALLY dont want have to do it by hand, create each pixel and then create the "box" and have a motion tween, I think that would take weeks. And I am just not patient enough.

If this makes little sense, please ask where I am not clear so that I may explain, I would really like to figure this one out.

Thanks !

Pixel - I Love Pixel
My first computer was a ZX Spectrum (Sinclair) and I was always fond of doing some basic programming with its pixel driven ways.
For that matter I would like to know how to approach such pixel driven ways in FlashMX. Yes, I know it is vectorial, rather...
How can I create a symbol with only one pixel (1x1 px) ? I tryed to import a .gif image with 1x1 pixel but it says the error message: "invalid format.." when I tryed to import it.
Then I thought of using the shortest and thinest line possible...
But I would like to hear from you on this. What do you have to say on this?
As Ric Ewing says in one of his tutorials: "Macromedia Flash MX draws lines in increments called twips, which are 1/20 of a pixel, so you can get precision of 0.05 on your lines. To make a line visible (without scaling it up), the minimum size is 0.15 pixels."

What I actually want to do is a layout where every pixel is changing colour (randomly). All nested side by side, but with the colour atribute changing (kinda like: the TV fuzzy/noise when it is not tuned to any particular station).

I found this tutorial that gave me lots of ideas on how to nest/tile the pixels:

But before to put hands on work, would like to hear from someone with experience in these matters.

Thanks a lot,
Daniel Alexandre

What Makes A Pixel Font A Pixel Font?
I am trying to find out why, in Flash, pixel fonts remain alias at small sizes, but so far, all I have heard is "because they are very small fonts". Isn't there a complete, technical explanation as to what pixel fonts have that normal fonts don't?

If you know the technicalities about computer fonts (or if you are a font designer), I will very much appreciate your help. I am certain it will help many others, as there is little information easily available on this subject.

Sizing
I'd like to use flash to construct either animated banners or graphics. Do I need to construct them within a certain size (pixels) within flash (and if so, how? Can't find resize anywhere!!!), or do I just make them in a bigger scale and then set the display size within the HTML code? The main concern is filesize, as some projects rely on quick loading pages, but still want flash.

In essence: How do I restrict the physical size (pixels) of my flash creation?

Few questions regarding the size of Flash animations (pixel dimensions).

1. Can't find a resize funtion anywhere, so how do I set the space available for the creation of flash anims?

2. If you don't need to specify size when making anims in flash, what happens to all the leftover white space? Will it still appear when I put it on my page? And if so, how do I solve that?

Mainly related to the construction of banners and logos, as I need to make them a certain size. For instance: if I leave a bunch of white space in a gif around the bits I want, the white space will be displayed no matter how big I make the overall image because it's part of the file. How's that work with Flash files?
