2 ?'s, One Menu One Window Resizing



I recently "borrowed" some .fla's from here and I am having trouble with the OSX type dock menu. The menu uses only one mc from the library. How, in the script, do you get it to load multiple mc so you can actually use the menu as navigation with multiple buttons? I have attached the file.

Second, from that same website there is an example of windows that resize in a really cool "organic" style. I was wondering how you would achieve this effect in MX? I hope this all makes sense.

Resizing The Window ?
Hi All,

I have an application in which thre are some windows to control the settings and all.

now the problem is, I want those windows to be SIZIBLE...ie. on pressing and dragging at the bottom right corner of the window, the window shud get resized as we do in normal windows applications..the child objects in my window should not get expanded/compressed. the winodow contents dimensions should be intact and their relative position may change based on the main window.

For more simplicity I want to develop a Chat window like Yahoo instant message window..in which, on resizing the winodow size the TEXT AREA gets resiged and other objects are intact..

I have tried, but I could expand/compress the whole window ..but not resizing it..

any Ideas plz ??

thanks all in adv

Resizing A Window
Hi Everyone, I have a question (hopefully a simply one.)

Does anyone know how I can embed an swf in a page such that when the window is resized, the movie behaves in the same way as when you preview it from within flash using "test movie". That is to say - the movie does not rescale as the window is resized, and content is visible outside of the 'dimensions' of the movie.

I've seen some sites that do this: eg www.amplifier.com - I just for the life of me can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks for your help!

Resizing A Dragable Window.
Can anybody exlpain to me in simple terms how I can create a resizable Flash window. I have trawled through the Tutorials and Flash movies and while there are some good examples of resizable windows I cannot decipher the coding to deconstruct them.

My window has at present maximise/minimise toggle, close button, and is dragable. But I cannot get my head around how to use the Drag function, or alternatively the mouseMove function, to scale the window on the stage.

What has been happening is that resize button will move independent of the window and the window scales erratically.

So what I'm asking for is a 101 class in resizing a dragable window if anybody could be of help.

To see an example of the present window in action visit:

Resizing A Dragable Window?
Can anybody help me with a easy-to-understand tutorial in resizing a dragable window. I have searched through the movies and tutorials and while they are all good examples within their own rights, I'm having trouble deconstructing the actionscript in order to apply it to the window on my web-site.

So a simple 101 in the coding of resizing a dragable window would be appreciated, if anybody could be of help. The window I have created on my site already has a maximise/minimise toggle, a close button, and is dragable. But I can't get my head around how I can resize the window as all my attempts have resulted in failure.

PS I posted this thread previously but somehow it dissapeared, perhaps deleted, if anybody could help explain why the original thread dissapeared I would appreciate it.

Thanx in advance. BeckySG1

Resizing A Pop Up Window In Flash?

Resizing Projector Window

Please help if you can.

Window Resizing Problematic
I have a flash (MX) movie that draws lines (and other simple geoemtric shapes) via mouse drag. The dimensions of the movie are: width:800 px, height=1200 px. I'have used the following embed tag to include the movie in my html code.

SRC="draw.swf" NAME=draw WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=1200 play=true menu=false scale=noscale wmode=transparent style="position:absolute;top:0;left:5;"

The movie works fine as long as I don't resize the browser's (IE 5) window. However, after loading the movie, if I resize the window a strange thing happens. The movie works fine on the top part of the stage but not on the bottom part (the part that I have to scroll down to get to). The effect of mouse drag (which should be a visible geometric shape) becomes invisible. When I drag the mouse I don't see any line being created. Yet, when I scroll up and down once, the line is there.

What puzzles me is that thhis behavior occurs only when I resize the browser's window and only on the bottom part of the stage.

I appreciate any comments that may explain the behavior or any suggestion that may remedy the problem.

Auto Resizing Window - How's It Done ?

Hmmm... interesting !

Thank the gods I found FK, this place is cool.

Resizing In The Transform Window - Pls Help
I've got an object (a movieclip) that I'm scaling up and down on different keyframes, for a 'zoom in' effect.

I select the object in the first frame, and its size is 100%. Then in the second keyframe, I've got it set to 200%. So far so good - the scaling works fine. Thing is, I want it to change the scale from 200 to 300%. I enter '300' in the Transform box and hit enter. Instead of scaling the object to 300%, the thing resizes my object to 105.7% by 187.7%!!

Is this perhaps happening because there is a maximum % size one can resize an object to?

okay I know this should be really simple, but for some reason I can't get it to work...

any ideas? thanks!

Resizing A Window That Is Already Open.
I have a bunch of buttons in my movie that will open other pages in a window. I have no problem opening thes pages in a window. I have it so that all the pages open in the same window so that the viewer doesn't end up with 20 windows open after clicking all the buttons. My problem is that I need to make this window resize when the new pages are loaded. My width and hiegth properties work for the first button that is pushed but once the window is open the other buttons won't change the size, they just change the page that is displayed in the window. Can someone tell me how to get this to work the way I'm trying to? Here is the action I have on my buttons.

on (press) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('theURL','newWi n','width=800,height=600,left=0,top=0,toolbar=Yes, location=Yes,scrollbars=Yes,status=Yes,resizable=Y es,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}

Thanks

Flash Window Resizing
I have a simple question. I would like to know how to open up separte smaller windows in a flash website. For example, you are on my site, and then click on a picture link and another small window fit to the picture size pops open. I want the windo to have no scroll bar and no explorer bar etc. Just a plain window with flash content. I have looked in various actionscript books and can't seem to find it. Its driving me nuts.

Locking/resizing Window
How can i get my flash site to open in a window that is exactly the same size, can't be resized and does this in both netscape and internet explorer? I can lock the window off at 800x600 which is the size of my movie, but this is unpredictable because the person viewing it may/maynot have the Address/navigation bars up.

Any advice?

is there an extension for dreamweaver? Where can i get it?

Thanks in advance

Dynamic Window Resizing
Hello all! Been visiting the site for a long time and finally got hung up on something that I haven't been able to find an answer to here. You guys have been awesome so far.

If you haven't checked out liquidgeneration.com yet do so..it's a sweet site. I was really wondering how you can dynamically resize the window the way they do?

When the site opens in expands fully to your resolution, but then you can grab the handles and move it all around and things change on the fly while still maintaining all functionality.

I think it is a sweet feature and was hoping someone could get me going in the right direction.

Thanks!

Browser Window Resizing
I have an entirely flash app, a swf menu that calls 3 swf games, that I publish using iframes as I know NO html, I'm embarrassed to admit ....

Up to now all has worked OK, but now I want my application's stage to resize when the browser window is resized.

I tried to follow the O'Reilly tutorial, but found that hitTestObject (very important in the app) did not work, so I made it work with mode showAll instead of mode noScale (see my prior post http://board.flashkit.com/board/show....php?t=785960).

All four swfs work perfectly locally, they resize and hitTestObject works.

However, when I upload them and try to run them in the browser (still using iframes) they don't resize.

Can somebody help me to get the right html code to put around my swfs?

Thanks!!!

Hey yall!

I'm trying to get the browser window to resize to 1024x768 with no toolbars or scroll bars etc. I've read four or five tutorials about it on here and I'm a little better off, but still relatively lost.
