Background Picture Resizing

AS3: Dynamically Resizing Background-picture
hi everybody.


I'm testing this idea of mine, but so far I've not been awarded succes.
so, here's what's my idea about:

I want to load a big background-picture into my Flash, and then I want it to be resized so it fits the screen-resolution that the user has on his/her browser.
see the example I've made so far, here:http://campjohn.dk/test/test100.html

it loads perfectly, and - from what I can see - keeps it's dimensions.
but it does not resize to the size of the browser as it should.
...if you go to the link, and then manually resize the browser-window, you'll get the resizing of the background-picture going on, though.

here's how it's all build:
I have a test100.fla with a test100.as Document Class

test100.as:

Code:
package {

import CustomBackgroundTest;

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageQuality;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

public class test100 extends Sprite {

private var _customBackgroundTest:CustomBackgroundTest;

public function test100() {
init();
}

private function init():void {
stageInit();
customBackgroundTestInit();
firstResizing();
}

private function stageInit():void {
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.quality = StageQuality.BEST;
stage.frameRate = 30;
stage.showDefaultContextMenu = true;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResize);
}

private function customBackgroundTestInit():void {
_customBackgroundTest = new CustomBackgroundTest(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
addChild(_customBackgroundTest);
}

public function firstResizing():void {
_customBackgroundTest.onResize(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
}

public function onResize(event:Event):void {
_customBackgroundTest.onResize(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
}

}
}
see.. the init function calls a firstRezing-function which calls the same .onResize function as a manual resizing does.
so why does it only work when manually resizing the browser-window?

here's the customBackgroundTest.as:

Code:
package{

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

public class CustomBackgroundTest extends Sprite {
private var _loader:Loader;
private var _request:URLRequest;
private var _stageWidth:Number;
private var _stageHeight:Number;

public function CustomBackgroundTest(stageWidth:Number, stageHeight:Number) {
_stageWidth = stageWidth;
_stageHeight = stageHeight;

init();
}

private function init():void {
backgroundInit();
}

private function backgroundInit():void {
_loader = new Loader();
_request = new URLRequest("myBackground.jpg");
_loader.load(_request);
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, setSize);

addChild(_loader);
}

private function setSize(e:Event):void {
_loader.width = 1600;
_loader.height = 1200;

_loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, setSize);
}

public function onResize(stageWidth:Number, stageHeight:Number):void {
_stageWidth = stageWidth;
_stageHeight = stageHeight;

trace("_stageWidth = "+_stageWidth+" & _stageHeight = "+_stageHeight);

var ratio:Number = _loader.width / _loader.height;

if ((_stageWidth / ratio) >= _stageHeight) {
trace("_stageWidth / ratio");
trace("_stageWidth = "+_stageWidth+" & _stageHeight = "+_stageHeight);
_loader.width = _stageWidth;
_loader.height = (_stageWidth / ratio);
trace("_loader.width = "+_loader.width+" & _loader.height = "+_loader.height);
}
else {
trace("!_stageWidth / ratio");
trace("_stageWidth = "+_stageWidth+" & _stageHeight = "+_stageHeight);
_loader.height = _stageHeight;
_loader.width = (_stageHeight * ratio);
trace("_loader.width = "+_loader.width+" & _loader.height = "+_loader.height);
}

}

}
}
as you can see, there's lots of traces in .onResize function.
these I've used to trace, what is actually going on.

when the backgroundpicture is loaded at first the onResize-function traces this:
_stageWidth = 400 & _stageHeight = 300
_loader.width = 0 & _loader.height = 0

and when the .swf is manually resized this is what is traced out:
_stageWidth = 1087 & _stageHeight = 661
_loader.width = 1087 & _loader.height = 815.25

this might be the problem, but right now I'm too confused from looking at this over and over again... anyway, it seems strange, that the _loader.height which is set to the _stageHeight (which is 300) turns out to be 0!

can anyone help me solve my problem?


thanks a lot

Dynamically Loaded Picture - Resizing
I am working on a picture viewer that will step through all pictures in folder. The pictures are all different sizes.

How would i go about resizing the dynamically loaded picture to fit inside a specified area in the movie? Below is the update function used to load the picture.

Thanks

function update() {
url = filename+picnum+".jpg";
loadMovie(url, picture);
}

Dynamic Picture Loading And Resizing...
I've been searching for the last hour, trying some of the codes posted... but for some reason I'm not having too much success.

I have a container 'picture1' and use the code:

code:
picture1.loadMovie("url");


The picture loads fine, but I want it to be a certain length and width. So I used:

code:
picture1._width = 122;
picture1._height = 122;


Which doesn't show anything at all. To my understanding from what I've searched, the picture wont resize anything that practically isn't there.

SO... How do I load the picture, check that it's there, and finally resize it to height and width exactly 122, because I will have different sized images that I want that length and width.

Thanks for your help!

Background Picture With No Scrollbars?
I have noticed several flash sites now, that almost have a "stage area" that is centered amongst the screen, with a large background image to cater for different various sized resolutions, and I wondered how its possible to do this.

For example, if you check out the following splash page:

http://www.leventhumps.com/

You will see the background image is quite big, yet it will shrink down even to an 800x600 size window even without scrollbars.

How is this possible ? Anyone shed any light?

Background Picture Morphing[MX]
i am trying to use two picutres morphing back and forth (looping), as the background on a presentation. I left them as images not as symbols and i put the first one in the first frame and the second one in the 10th frame and i did a shape tween. i would like both the pictures to be at a low alpha percentage in order to not distract users/viewers from the point of the presentation, can i do that without a symbol. these two won't morph and the shape tween arrow stays as a broken line.

Background Resizing
If I am loading in backgrounds to the stage at a size of 1280x1024 - is there a way to make the background resize itself too 1024x768 if the resolution is changed or the user is using that resolution (not worried about 800x600...)?

I know about stage listeners ect but I can't seem to figure out how it would be done.

Inteface That´s Over The Background Picture Is Always Centred
I want to have the same function that 2advanced have on the swf in the Browser window. Look at the link below and you can see that the interface that´s over the background picture is always centred when you make the browser smaller. The background picture and the picture over the background picture is always in tune with each other. How did they do that?

Automatically Resizing Background
How would I set the background to resize and fill the entire browser automatically with whatever the users browser size is?

Also to center the website within that browser?

Auto-resizing Background
Dear Forums:

I'm attempting to build a Flash website. I've seen a technique where a background is automatically scaled and loaded, while a main website area remains the same size throughout the resizing.

More specifically, I have a background image that's 1680 X 1050. I'd like to resize it automatically in the background under various resolutions, while a small 520 X 420 area of the flash website itself sits on top.

Any insight into this would be kindly appreciated!

Thank you very much.

Why Isnt My Background Resizing?
Can anyone tell me what it is im doing wrong here? Im trying to get my background to size to stay consistent with the stage no matter how wide the screen is. I want to know whats wrong with my code that this isnt happening all of a sudden because it worked in a previous project i was working on. Here is the code:

stop();
id1 = setInterval(preloader, 100);

function preloader()
{
var gbt = getBytesTotal();
if(gbt < 100)
return;
var gbl = getBytesLoaded();
if(gbl >= gbt)
{
clearInterval(id1);
initialize();
}
}



function initialize()
{
startingSizeX = Stage.width; // get these values before setting noScale
startingSizeY = Stage.height;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; // prevent menus from resizing
backdrop._width = Stage.width;
backdrop._height = Stage.height;


ContentoriginalX = 58;
ContentoriginalY = 158;


positionMenus(); // adjust menu position

// watch for resizing. When it occurs, resize the background picture
// to match the stage size.
// All the other objects remain the same size but we reposition

// keep the background picture the same size as the stage

};

}

function positionMenus()
{
// how much difference is stage size now compared to the original size?
var diffSizeX = startingSizeX - Stage.width;
var diffSizeY = startingSizeY - Stage.height;

// add half the difference to the menu position
Content._x = ContentoriginalX + (diffSizeX / 2);

}

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

Resizing Background Grid
Size of grid in the background
I have an almost perfect swf for my needs; www.avgifter.com/forum/graftest2.asp.
My problem as a complete newbie on Flash is that I have no clue of how to change size of the grid in the background. I want the bars to reach higher in the diagram without just manipulate the values. The latter is done in the example.

What should I look for?

Image Resizing In Background
Hey,

I was looking for a way to resize an image in the background. I've completed a design, and because of some feedback they asked me to change a part of the layout. Because of that the background image has te resize with the browser so that the graphic beneath the navigation stays in the same place.

I'm hoping you'll understand what I mean, but if you don't, let me know, and I'll upload the design.

An example I found of a scaling background can be viewed at http://www.i-merge.net/


Thanks for the help!

Resizing Image Background
Hi all,

I'm looking for some help figuring out how to emulate the effect on http://www.nooflat.nu/ of the background resizing to accommodate the movie that is then dynamically imported.

I know how to dynamically resize the background, but I can't figure out how to put off importing the swf or image until the background is the correct size using Actionscript.

I'm really just looking for some guidance on this. Any suggestions, or suitable tutorials that anyone knows of.

Thanks!

I run across this cool web site

Resizing Tiled Background In Flash 8
Hello,

I've checked out this tutorial, and it's great:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flas...und_flash8.htm

But, is there a way, to make the background scale, when you resize the movie. I made this AS code:


Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pattern");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
//-----------------------
sizeListener = new Object();
sizeListener.onResize = function() {
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pattern");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();
};
Stage.addListener(sizeListener);
But it doesn't work... I'm confused, what should I do?..

Moving Or Resizing The Background Of A Scene
Is there a way to shift or move the background of a scene without moving the contents of it? So for example, let’s say I have an animated ball bouncing in the center of the screen, and I realize that I want to add something else to the animation (another ball perhaps) but I don’t have enough room to do this. If I just grab the ball and move it the animation will get messed up because the key frames are already set in place. In order for it to work right I’d have to grab every key frame and move them one at a time, which is basically like doing the animation all over again (especially if you have a complex animation with multiple layers and key frames). Resizing the background doesn’t always help either because by default flash always adds the new portions to right (if you add width) and the bottom (if you add height).

If there’s not a way to move the background, is there a way to specify which direction flash will add the new pixels to when resizing the document?

Any help will be appreciated. I can’t tell you how many times I've run into this problem.

[MX] Resizing Onlny Background Of Your Flash Movie
Hi all,

I have been searching for quite a while on this issue and cannot find the answer. I am after resizing only parts of my flash movie to the web browser and am having difficulties getting the particular solution.

An tutorial site:http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/liquid-flash-layout
explains that you need to use a couple of lines to turn off scaling , then add a listener to see if the browser is resizing the movie.

What i am struggling with is how to apply the resizing to only a layer - and maintain the rest, so that my JPEGS do not become crap!

Thanks in advance,
James
