Flash :: Browser Without Scrollbar, Certain Size, No Tool Bar Or Adress Bar?

Swf Size, Html And Browser Scrollbar.
Hey All.

I've recently uploaded a new version of a site, which you can find here:

http://www.flashback-live.dk

(Click on "kom indenfor" to enter)

I've had some complaints about the swf being too big for the screen, thereby not allowing navigation of the site etc. I thought i played it safe by only making it 1000x600 pixels.
But apparently some people are still running low resolutions and have too many toolbars and stuff showing while browsing.

I didn't want to venture into full screen flash for this one, as it was a hasty job. it just had to work and get on the net in a hurry.

But my question is - I want to go with 'noScale' - because every other setting will scale the content, which looks awful.

Is there any way to put some code in the published html, that will bring out the browser's scrollbars when the window is too small for the swf??

Thanks in advance..

Stig.

Ps. Please bare with me on the design. It's not the most innovative and still needs a lot of tweaking.

What Is The Biggest Pixel Size You Can Have W/o The Browser Scrollbar?
I was wondering how big (in pixels) your background for your website can be before the browser scroll bar starts showing up. Also, what's the width for the background to stretch all the way across the browser so there is no html?

Like these guys, see how it goes all the way across and everywhere you right click it's flash - no html?

Browser Display Size Of Flash Movie / Need To Have Browser Match Movie Size

I am having a problem getting my flash movies to come up in the broswer w/out any extra space around the movie. I have published all 3 ways out of flash, and even made may changes to the Dreamwever file with no luck.

Please send help!

Full Browser Flash, Vertical Scrollbar Just Like Browser?
In short:
http://www.subdisc.com/
Look at the right scrollbar, how do I accomplish this?

The height of my site site is bigger than the Stage.height.
I could use a browser scrollbar via Java, but since I want to be free in design of every component I would rather use a flash scrollbar.
But how?

Full Browser Movie, But Use Browser Scrollbar When Needed
Is there any way to make a full browser swf that, at a certain point, stops scaling to the stage and allows the browser to use it's native scrollbars?

For example, say my flash site has a top bar (it's y is always 0) and a bottom bar (it's y might be stageHeight - 15). Is there any way to tell the movie to stop scaling if the bottom bar's y is less than say 300, and from that point have the browser display it's scrollbars allowing you to scroll the content?

Text Tool - Textfield Size
Hi, (me again)

On my drawingboard I would like to implement something similar to the Texttool of Photoshop or Flash. So you click and you type

Attached you can see what I mean ;-)

My problem is the border around the textfield. Is there a way to make it wrap, or to adjust the size of the textfield to fit to the content?
Maybe with CSS or something...?

Thx, Pete

Text Size And Transform Tool
Hi there
I used the transform tool to make some changes to some text for a logo. And now I have the problem that everytime I use the text tool the text is distorted (too wide), and I cant find what the default value should be, the transform tool shows 100% 100%, but that is not right , it is about 150% wide everytime. Is there anyway to revert the text tool back to the original default dimensions of the font instead of the text being distorted everytime and following the previous changes made?

I believe this if one mistake of macromedia, the tool should either revert back too its default settings or transform should show 150% for examp. and not 100% when it isnt. This is also a fault I believe in coreldraw.
Thanks very much

Scrollbar (dynamic Scrollbar Size)
Hi everyone.
I'm making a scroller that scrolls movieclip (text inside). It works quite good but I want to put the final touch on it.

I want that my scrollbar is dynamic in its size (just as browser scrolls or windows scrolls). Then my biggest programming problem comes up, maths

The values that I have is
- How tall is the area there the text shows.
- How tall is the movieclip that the text is shown in
- How tall is the place there my scrollbar is shown.

Someone thats have an idea how to sort this out

Flash Scrollbar Instead Of Browser Scrollbar
Hi all,

What I want to do is replace the browser scrollbar with a flash one when the flash movie is larger than the browser, and I'm using 100% sizes.

I've seen this done, and even when you manually resize the window, the scrollbar adjusts. Any ideas on this? Any tuts? Thanks.

Browser Size Doesn't Match Flash Movie Size
Can anyone help me figure out how to make the Browser or Window that launches my .swf file fit exactly the size of the Flash Movie's dimensions?

My movie is 800x550 yet when launched it in a browser there is extra space around it which shows the elements that are outside the border of the movie which I later tween onto the stage.

In short, how do I constrain the Browser Window to fit the dimension of the Flash movie?

Thanks,
Tony

Change Stage Size (not Scale) Based On Browser Size?
Not sure this can be done. I've looked through LOTS of resizing tutorials, but they don't do exactly what I want, and I'm not sure it's possible.

Basically, I have a slideshow that loads from xml and fades in a variety of sizes of images in random positions. I'm trying to set it up so that the swf (which is in a div tag in an interface) will resize depending on the browser size and will use the NEW stage size to determine the x/y position of the images (without resizing them) and will skip any images that are too big for the stage size...

Any ideas if this is possible? Dynamically sizing and determining the "working area" of a swf based on the browser/div size?? Any tutorials out there?? I can figure out the code, I just need to know where to start...

THANKS!!!!

Browser Scrollbar Issue
Hi everyone, I am having an issue with browser scrolling. The website is this http://www.jesterlabs.com/working2.html and basically all I want is to make it scroll with lower resolutions (right now I get no scrollbars period.), like 800x600 or 1024x768. This is the code I am using in flash:

Stage.align = "T"; // Position the movie at top, center
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"; // Prevent scaling (required!)

// Create the listener object
resizeListener = new Object();
resizeListener.onResize = function () {
trace("New width: " + Stage.width);
};
Stage.addListener(resizeListener);

While in my html doc I have it set for 100%:

<style type="text/css">

</style>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Move Browser's Scrollbar Down
I am just a week new to actionscript and I need to handle a problem for a site I am developing.

There is this case when the user might have a 15" monitor, assuming he/she uses 800x600 screen resolution. How can I make the browser's (internet, mozilla or whtv) scroll bar go to the bottom or somewhere half way. Can this be done?? I already know how to check for the screen resolution, I only need a way to access the scroll bar position.

Browser Scrollbar When 100%x100%
Hi,

I've searched around in these forums and I didn't find a direct answer to my problem. See I’ve got this flash movie which is build for screens with 1280x1024 resolution, and it is centred in the browser. Nothing wrong there, works and looks good.
But now when users with 1024x768 (or lower) resolution visit the site they’ll not see the whole thing, and are missing out on some of the menus. The browser scrollbars doesn’t show up when the dimension is 100%x100%, so the users with 1024x768 (or lower) can’t navigate throughout the site.
When using match movie for dimension the flash movie doesn’t centre in the web browser but the scrollbar does appear.

The simplest way is to make the browser scrollbars appear…And if someone can tell me how to do that and still get the movie centred in the browser, I’ll probably go with that…even though it doesn’t look that good =P
…But I was wondering if there’s some way to “shrink” the flash movie if the user has a lower screen resolution? I.e. if user screen resolution 1024x768 = flash movie 75% of original.
Though that will probably look horrible… =P

I’m using Firefox by the way.

Browser Scrollbar Scripting?
I've done a bit of research and still not to sure how exactly to do this...

If you have a fullscreen flash site, by default your browser scrollbar is disabled. So if someone's screen is smaller than the site, they can't scroll to see whats off the page. How do you enable the browser scrollbar with a fullscreen flash site?

Can I Limit The Browser Scrollbar?
Last edited by myles724 : 2007-06-29 at 02:17.

I have a movie that is 2000px in height and some objects are duplicating vertically adding up by 100px. Say I have 5 objects so there is only 500px of content, is there anyway to use javascript from flash to limit the scrollbar to 500px instead of the full 2000?

Heres an example. Change the width and watch the column narrow and the scroll bar expand http://www.defunker.com/

Using AS To Move Browser Scrollbar
In html documents, you can redirect the browser's scrollbar to relocate the page to different places within the same page using named anchors.

In Flash, is there a way to make the browser window scroll to the top of the page after a link is clicked?

My site uses dynamically loaded .swf's into a container, so there are no html refreshes.

Thank you

Updating Scrollbar As Text Size Changes
I'm using Flash 6. I have a dynamic text field w/ the standard scrollbar component that comes with Flash 6. Everything works fine, but now I'm giving the user the option to increase / decrease text size. The problem is that the scrollbar doesn't update: increasing the text size means the scrollbar won't scroll to the bottom of the text. (I don't care about a graphic change in *size* of the scrollbar -- I just want it to reach the bottom of the text).

I know how to count the lines using maxcroll and bottomScroll...I just can't figure out how to update the scrollbar.

I'm attaching the file, if anyone wants to look at it. Hopefully this is an easy thing to do?? The file is also at the url below. Thanks.

Changing The Scrollbar Size Of A Datagrid
hello, I was wondering if anyone might know how to do this...

that is - I want to make the actual scrolltrack, arrow buttons, and everything bigger.

It'd be a piece of cake with a UIScrollBar, but with a DataGrid I don't know if I can access the scrollbar portion if it via a call like this:

gridName.scrollbar.size

...any ideas would be much much much appreciated.

Browser Type Scrollbar With Buttons
Hello.

Thanks for viewing my post.

Was wondering if anyone knows of any movies and/or tutorials that may help in adding a functioning scrollbar with buttons (like those commonly found in browsers) that can be easily implemented within/or added to an existing list of movie clip buttons.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any response.

Changing Color Of Browser Scrollbar
Hi

I know this is more an html/javascript question but I am stuck.

I want to change the color of the scrollbars in Internet Browser to match my website's color theme. I have tried scripts but nothing has changed.

The last script I got was this:
<style type="text/css">
body {
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-base-color: #ffffee;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffffee;
scrollbar-face-color: #ffffee;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffee;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
}
</style>

Where do I paste it(in the <head> of the index page)?

Also I want the colors to be green and have tried changing the hexidecmal codes to #336633 etc. Will the numbers work or does it have to be the letters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Space Bar Controls Browser Scrollbar Instead...
Hi all,

There's a slight problem with the opening frame of my movie. It prompts the user to press space bar to continue to the movie's next frame. There's a button to which I've attached the ActionScript:

on (keyPress "<Space>") {gotoAndPlay("menu");

The script works fine. The problem is that many browsers scroll when the spacebar is hit. So, when the user is prompted to hit spacebar in the movie, they end up scrolling the browser window rather than controlling my movie. In order to get it to work, the user has to first click on the movie so the browser knows where to direct the keystroke.

Is there any way to remedy this?!

Thanks for everyone's help in advance!
