Center Pop Up Problem
I understand how to open a pop up window from flash and position it using x and y values, but how can you make it centered all of the time?
Thank you for any help.

Keeping The Center Of The Stage In The Center Of A Web Browser
Hey,
I have a really wide flash page, but the main portion of it is in the center
of the .swf. My question is how do I make the center of my .swf in the center
of a web browser so that when the user resizes the browser, the center of the stage stays in the center of the browser? Right now it has the left side of the .swf aligned with the
left edge of the browser so the center of my .swf is usually being cut off by
the right edge of the browser and users have to scroll to the right to see the
main portion of the site...I'm sorry if that's somewhat confusing, but any help
at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

How Do I Center An External File In The Center On The Stage
I followed the tutorial for preloading external swf files, now that I have done so and it works, I notice that the swf file does not center after I preview it after it loads the external file.
I have centered the holder on the stage but after I preview the file or test movie, the loaded file is not centered and I have to play around with it for it to be centered. Is there a way to set the x and Y in the actions so this won't happen or do I have to know the size of the file that I am preloading off my server?
How Do I Scale From Center Of Stage, Not Center Of MC?
I'm building a Flash map that I'd like to be able to scale in and out of. I've added a + and - button and linked them to a 5% + or - of the main MC's x and y scale. But, on press I'd like it to scale from the center of the stage, not the center of the movie clip, so that when I zoom further into LA the whole image doesn't go shooting off to the left, since LA is on the far left of my enlarging MC. How do I do this? Am I on the right track here?:
//onPress increase x and y scale 5%. no prob.
//move the map by combining an understanding of the center point of the MC, the centerpoint of the Stage (half the width, maybe), and then maybe multiplying it by some factor of my current %scale, since a 5% increase is a varying number, depending on my current scale.
Seems like this would work, but I'm not sure what that math would be.
...or is there a better way like a built in method that deals with MC centerpoints?
Thanks,
Greg
Center Swf?
I know this is a stupid question, but I'm getting crazy searching without getting the answer. When I publish my swf, how can I achieve that the movie is centered vertically and horizontally (right now it's in the upper left of the screen and looks horrible)? And is there a way to center it, so it would be always displayed according to the screen resolution of the user?
THanks for your help and sorry for asking!

I've made a flash movie (main.swf) that is 1600x1280 and inside that movie I load another move (logo.swf). But I want that movie (logo.swf) to load in the center of (main.swf). Say that the visitor has 1024x768 screen resolution. It must load in the center of 1024x768. And if the visitor has 800x600. Then it must load in the center of 800x600. Does anyone know how to do that?

How Do I Center This?
I have a question. You know how different people have different settings on their computer when it comes to screen area? Well when people with a larger screen area (or different resolution?) view sites, they see a large blank space on the right hand side, or a repetitive picture.
How do you make a site that will allow you to view it centered on the screen no matter what settings you have on your computer?
Is this possible?
Thanks for the help!

Where Is Center Of Mc
Hi, I have some code that i want to use to have the mouse be able to push a circle around. I have an MC called "particle" that consists of a few layers, one of which has a mc "circle" in it. In that circle mc, i use _x and _y to get the current position of the circle.
I'm not sure how this works but when i test the code, but the center point of "circle" (the point which the mouse has to push at to move the circle) is at the top left corner of the screen. How do i get that point to be at the center of the circle i drew?

Center It
Ok, I still don't understand the best way to center your swf vertically AND horizontally in the html window.
I know you can choose "100%", and "no scale" in the publish settings and that DOES center it. BUT it also shows all the stuff around the sides of my document that should be concealed.
Another way is to put it in a table, but I don't know how to do a table (NO html knowledge here)

Center Pop Up
the tutorial on center popup window is cool
but I have lots of popup window in my site and I don't want to type long list of code on each and every button.
So I want to know - is there any way that I can create a function and use it again and again.
here is what i tried
ActionScript Code:
Movieclip.prototype.openWinCentre = function (url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) { getURL ("javascript:var myWin; if(!myWin || myWin.closed){myWin = window.open('" + url + "','" + winName + "','" + "width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",toolbar=" + toolbar + ",location=" + location + ",directories=" + directories + ",status=" + status + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars=" + scrollbars + ",resizable=" + resizable + ",top='+((screen.height/2)-(" + h/2 + "))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(" + w/2 + "))+'" + "')}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);");}function pop() { address = "http://www.yahoo.com"; target_winName = "hallweir"; width = 400; height = 300; toolbar = 0; location = 0; directories = 0; status = 0; menubar = 0; scrollbars = 0; resizable = 0; //sends data back to the function openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);}thumb.thumbnail.but1.onRelease = function() { pop();}
this is o.k. but what about the address - address for each and every button is different.
Any Suggestion.
Thanks

Smartclip Center Pop-up?
hello,

it seems from the instructions provided with this smartclip that i do not need any more code other than what is contained in the clip itself, but i am wondering why it is still not working....any help with this would be great. thanks.
?center Pt. Zoom?
alright here is the situation:
i have a flow chart (not my doing, it is for my job) boxes and lines kind of thing. i have it set up so that the flow chart is a movie.
the code attached to the move is:
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y -= 30;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this._y += 30;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= 30;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += 30;
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
i have a seperate zoom bar with a '+' and '-' also a 'R' for restart position of the flow chart. the code on the '+' is:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop (2);
setProperty ("_level0/Map", _xscale, 105);
setProperty ("_level0/Map", _yscale, 105);
}
the next frame in this button looks like this:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop (3);
setProperty ("_level0/Map", _xscale, 110);
setProperty ("_level0/Map", _yscale, 110);
}
and so on.....
the code for '-' is going down in scale.
the 'R' code is:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop (1);
setProperty ("_level0/Map", _xscale, 100);
setProperty ("_level0/Map", _yscale, 100);
setProperty ("_level0/Map", _x, 343);
setProperty ("_level0/Map", _y, 474);
}
_______________________
now this is the problem; i want to be able to make the center pt. of EACH block of the flow chart (on mouseDown) the zooming pt. instead of zooming to the center pt. of the ENTIRE flow chart.
Loading In The Center
Hey Flashers.
i have an .exe demo that i created in flash. My boss has a program that has many demos (the rest not flash).
so you have a screen that has all the demo links, when the user clicks on the flash exe then it doesn't popup in the middle of the screen. Is there some sort of command that will make it centered when loaded (no actions can be added to the actuall buttons since they are not done in flash - so i guess i'll need a first frame action but which one?)
thanks.

Scale Down From Center
I've been trying to get buttons to decrease in size and opacity (from their center) by a factor of 1, using on(release), until the button is 100% transparent and too small to view.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Center Stage How?
Hi Guys,
if you go to my web site http://www.daddyt.freeserve.co.uk
you'll know what I mean. in channel 6 I have a scrolling menu.
The only thing is that what you will notice that even with mouse out side of the center screen it still goes right.
yet when you go to the right side and come out of the screen the scroling stops going to the right. please how can I scroll from within the sreen.
Thanks
Mic
this is the code that I used
onClipEvent (load) {
nScreenWidth = 672;
nMaxRate = 15;
// nPixels determines the speed of the slider movement
function moveLeft (nPixels) {
this._x -= nPixels;
if (this._x<0-nScreenWidth) {
this._x = 0;
}
}
function moveRight (nPixels) {
this._x += nPixels;
if (this._x>0) {
this._x = 0-nScreenWidth;
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// move slider with speed dependent on mouse position
if (_root._xmouse<nScreenWidth/2&& _root._xmouse>0) {
moveRight(nMaxRate-_root._xmouse*nMaxRate/(nScreenWidth/2));
} else {
if (_root._xmouse>nScreenWidth/2 && _root._xmouse<nScreenWidth) {
moveLeft(_root._xmouse*nMaxRate/(nScreenWidth/2)-nMaxRate);
}
}
}

Center Point Of An Mc
Hi there
I just recently changed to MX, and I'm very (and I mean VERY) pleased with it. Just one thing.
for this script I used, I have to change the centerpoint of the instance of a movieclip. That function used to be in the Transform area if I'm not mistaking.
Can anyone tell me where I can find it now?
greetings, Robin
