Flash Resizing And Full Browser Screen Size
Ok, I have searched the forums and found ways that are close to what I want but I cant seem to find a method that works. What I am trying to do is create a main swf that is the fullscreen background of a browser window. The main.swf then loads another swf on top of it. The problem is I dont want the swf that is on top of the main.swf to change sizes or scale when the browser window is resized.

I tried both
fscommand("fullscreen",true);
fscommand("allowscale",false);

and didnt get what I was looking for.

I know how to do all the html formatting for the embedded flash file, I just cant figure out how to get in working on the flash end.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Detecting Browser Window Size...?
is there a way to detect the browser window size and then changing the size of your flash accordingly?
instead of not knowing the size of final output and end up looking stupid with a 640x480 window when the guy has a 1600xwhatever resolution full screen browser window... or having a 1024x768 flash that you have to scroll around on a 800x600 resolution browser...

In short:

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?

Detecting Whether Flash Is In A Standalone Player Or A Browser With Actionscripting
I am making a movie that will be distributed on CDROM and on the web. I need to create an exit button that will work from the standalone player and the browser at the same time. I am using the (FSCOMMAND exit) which works for the standalone flash player and a getURL("javascript:close()") command for the browser I thought that would solve the whole thing, but when you try to exit from the standalone, flash opens up a new browser window and then tries to close it. So I would like to write some sort of conditional that would figure out if the movie was in the standalone flashplayer or a browser window andthen feed the appropriate close command. 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,

Hi there,

Im trying to achieve a flash page that will cover the browser window ( not chromeless, just the browser!!) Ive posted a query about this subject before but the advice i recieved didnt really solve the problem. Im not experienced with actionscript and i think this may be my problem!!

Ive been experimenting with a 100x100 stage and filling it with a coloured box and then publishing it with the following html code:

......</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" topmargin=0 leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 bottommarign=0>


<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/

</object>
</body>
</html>....

According to articles such as "mastering full browser flash" (http://www.actionscript.com/index.ph...-flash-part-2/)

and a few other similar articles, this adjustment to the code is supposed to make the flash movie stretch accross the stage to fill the browser, regardless of the original movie size.

I cant get this to work and its driving me mad. Im trying to jazz up my xhtml/css site by making a flash version and i need the flash mvoe to be able to fill the browser window.

Im also trying to enable the movie to adjust size depending on the viewers screen res. I understand this has to do with listeners.

Could somebody set me straight on this??

I have a full browser script that is working just fine (script below). I am having trouble however positiong an imported .swf clip into a movie clip (mc2). Even though the movie clip's registration point (mc2) is in the center, the .swf that goes in has a top left registration point, and that top left registration point is what gets centered, leaving the entire clip to be off center. I need help centering an imported clip with a top left registration point? Does the stage size matter? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

// ***Stage aligned top left
Stage.align = "TL";

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
stop ();

mc2._x = ?
mc2._y = ?

sizeListener = new Object();
sizeListener.onResize = function() {

mc2._y = ?
mc2._x = ?
};
Stage.addListener(sizeListener);

loadMovie("MainSlideshow.swf", mc2);

Hi all,

I'm new to this board so apologies if this is a question/topic that has been raised before. I have been experimenting with full browser flash sites for a while and have been looking at the different ways to set the background image to scale. I am currently using the following script to set the scaling values of the background swf to automatically adjust to the width and hieght of the browser window. However, would I would like to do is have a little more flexibility and limit how 'distorted' the background can become.

For a comparison...

www.hi-res.net <this site uses the code I currently have, which simply scales the background image to fit the width and height properties of the stage/browser window.

www.dfgw.co.uk/flash.html <this site shows what I would like to do. If you watch the background image it does scale, but doesn't distort in the same fashion as Hi-Res. Instead, the code seems to adopt a 'best fit' approach, with some of the image moving off the stage in certain extreme width/height scenarios to stop it from distorting.

So, here's my code (apologies it's a bit messy). Does anyone have any suggetsions as to what the Action Script stage property for the Movieclip 'testt' would be to achieve something similar to DFGW??

// Assign a listener for the Stage object
Stage.addListener(stageListener);

//new stuff here
// ***Stage aligned top left
Stage.align = "TL";
// *** Stop the stage from scaling with the browser window.
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
stop ();
// initiate postitions and scaling values for objects
testt._width = Stage.width;
testt._height = Stage.height;

// end initial position setting

//create a listner that checks to see if the browser window is resized
sizeListener = new Object();
sizeListener.onResize = function() {
// change movieclip properties when the window is resized.
testt._width = (Stage.width );
testt._height = Stage.height;

I know that this topic has been talked about a lot but I still have not had one of my questions answered. My question is how do you make your FBF look like these two examples.

http://www.sonypictures.com/homevide...erthanfiction/

In this one how do the designers make it work for all resolutions, how they are able to use the whole browser and user three different sections for the menu, the content, and the sound?

http://www.curtasantos.com/site

How do they make it so seemless in the slide to a new section and how do they keep the BG so seemless? And it is full browser with the single bg image.

That is really what I want to understand, how do I use a single large image to fit the browser(at any resolution) edge to edge?

Thanks in advance.

Flash As The Full Browser AS3 Help
I'm starting to make the transition from AS2 to AS3 and it's totally blowing my mind/ kicking my butt.

My first problem is full-frame flash—like the landing page I have at my home sitehttp://marcgarner.com. In that file I use the Stage to arrange/ place different elements and stretch the picture to fill the Stage. Here is the code I use to accomplish it.

Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "tl";
getURL("FSCommand:fullscreen", "true");

the_way = "_file/";
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("music_mc", 1);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("base_pic", 2);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("selection_mc", 102);
music_mc.loadMovie(the_way + "music.swf");
base_pic.loadMovie(the_way + "base_pic.swf");
screen_mc.loadMovie(the_way + "screen.swf");
attachMovie("gradient", "gradient", 3);
attachMovie("loader", "loader", 100);
selection_mc.loadMovie(the_way + "selection.swf");

onEnterFrame = function () {
replace_MC();
gradient.blendMode = "multiply";
gradient._alpha = 50;
gradient._width = Stage.width + 50;
gradient._height = Stage.height + 50;
gradient._x = -20;
gradient._y = -20;
selection_mc.copyright.blendMode = "screen";
selection_mc.copyright._x = 5;
selection_mc.copyright._y = Stage.height - 30;
selection_mc.marcgarner.blendMode = "screen";
selection_mc.marcgarner._x = Stage.width - 290;
selection_mc.marcgarner._y = Stage.height - 160;
selection_mc.nav_mc._x = (Stage.width - selection_mc.nav_mc._width) * 0.5;
selection_mc.nav_mc._y = (Stage.height - selection_mc.nav_mc._height) * 0.5;
};
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onResize = function () {
replace_MC();
};

Stage.addListener(myListener);

function replace_MC() {
if (Stage.width * 3 > Stage.height * 4) {
base_pic.me.tween(["_width", "_height"], [Stage.width + 10, Stage.width * 0.75 + 10], 0);
base_pic.me._y = (Stage.height - base_pic._height) * 0.5;
base_pic.me._x = 0;
}
if (Stage.width * 3 < Stage.height * 4) {
base_pic.me.tween(["_width", "_height"], [Stage.height * 1.33333 + 10, Stage.height + 10], 0);
base_pic.me._x = (Stage.width - base_pic._width) * 0.5;
base_pic.me._y = 0;
}
}
Every flash site I've bilt since this first projec has been pretty similar (using the stage to align everything). I need a actionscript 3 guru to tell me where to even begin. I've tried the most basic of examples in AS3 and can't even get it to compile. PLEASE HELP!

AS3 Full Browser Flash
Hi, am currently building a full browser site using as3 and will probably have loads of questions.. i am able to get it all expanding correctly etc..

1. i want a preloader bar that expands the width of the stage but cant figure out how to get this working as my resize listener is called after the preloader has completed?

2. when a movie clip is resized with the listener it stops it from playing..

im not really sure of the correct way to structure a full browser flash site so any help would be great! cheers

Full Browser Flash
Hey everyone, this is the same old how to you make a full browser flash site post. I have found a lot of good tutorials on that already. But I do have a couple questions about building a full browser flash site that the tutorials don't have a clear answer on.

I'm developing my first full browser site now and the end goal is something like http://www.chromazone-imaging.co.uk/flashindex.html

So, what generally is a good size stage to start with or does it matter? My goal is to have a menu that spans the top or bottom of the page like the Chromazone site but should that be included at the top or bottom of the page and let flash scale it up or down based on the users browser size? Or is there another way to make sure those items stay where I want them other way?

No the main content of the site, I was going to create a Movie Clip holder on the page and just load external SWFs into that. But my external SWFs are going to have JPEG which I don't want to have resize so big that they lose there quality, so is it the best idea to design the external SWF to the max. size that I would want the JPEGs and content to be and then let flash only scale them down?

So with that does my original stage/Movie Clip Holder have to be larger then my the external SWFs I'm going to load into it or does that matter with a full browser site?

Sorry for the long first post, I've been trying to get these questions answered without much luck. I really enjoy the site, it's be killing my productivity here at work. :)

Help With Full Browser Flash
I wanted to redo my site and would like to play off some of the extra space that comes about with the full browser flash mode. I watched the tutorial on this site for it, but am still confused. Not necessarily liking the style, I like how this guy (http://www.frostdesign.com.au/v3/) uses the space and how nothing gets warped or fuzzy when enlarging or decreasing the browser window. Starting out with the full browser function, how large does the stage have to be? I don't want my images and navigation to be scalable, just the background (with items moving to the respective places once sized. Any help?

Full Browser Flash Help
I came across this website for a portfolio, http://www.alainandre.com, and really liked the simplistic style, but more importantly how the bar reaches both ends of the window, no matter how big. But when you stretch real long, the bar across the middle looks as if it has more gradient past what is seen. So, to me, it doesn't seem like its being scaled per se, like in the Full Browser Flash tutorial on this site, but more than its only showing what the window size allows.

In the same topic, I noticed too that when I size down the window, sizing past the circles on the right does not cause the scrollbars of the browser window to activate. How is this managed?

Hi

I'm having a few problems here, still very much a beginner especially with action script 3.

What I have is this:-
http://www.qwerty-design.co.uk/test.html

where the white area is my content the black the background, this is fine and is centred and fills the screen just as I want but the problem is when viewed at smaller resolutions I don't get the vertical scroll bars.

Is there a way of getting this effect and having the vertical scroll bars?

I really want the full screen to be flash.

If not could I centre in HTML or CSS my flash content and just have a black ground in my html page?

Thanks

Lee`s Full Browser Flash...
i have just followed lee`s full browser flash tutorial and it all looks good until i resize the stage then my movie content disappears...i have looked over the code again and again ut i guess i am missing something really stupid...please can anyone shed some light? thanks

Code:

import flash.display.BitmapData;

deck._x = Stage.width/2;
deck._y = Stage.height/2;

var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG(){
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.moveTo(0,0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width,0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width,Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0,Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0,0);
this.endFill();
}
fillBG();

var stageL:Object = new Object();
stageL.onResize = function(){
fillBG();
deck._x = Stage.width/2;
deck._y = Stage.height/2;
}
Stage.addListener(stageL);

I was going through the tutorial on full browser flash. However, my tile is much longer than the one used in the tut. I am trying to figure out how to make the tile start farther left than the top left corner of the stage. My tile is 1600px by 125 px, and I need to center it on a 700px wide stage at the top. I watched the Drawing API video as well but no luck for me. As best I can tell it would be in this part of the code:

function fillBG() {
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.moveTo(0,0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width,0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width,Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0,Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0,0);
this.endFill();
}

I'm a action script newbie, so I might need a little explanation.

Can You Do This With Full Flash Browser?
I was noticing on a site I recently did that when I resize my window things just pop into place. There's no fluidity to it.

Is it possible, using AS, to tween the moving around of different mc's when I resize the browser?

Also, if someone has too small of a browser, is it possible to stop the scaling at a certain point. Or possibly display a movie clip/text explaining that they're browser is too small? I don't know if flash can detect browser size or not because I'm fairly new at all this.

If these are possible, maybe you could point me in the right direction to where I could learn how to do it. Thanks.

I saw the Full Browser tutorial but that's with an image. I've seen other sites that have their websites in the full browser screen, and adjust to the actual resolution of your monitor. I'll add some links of a few sites I know that do this. I sure it's not all actionscript based. Can anybody give some info on how to get this done? Thanks a bunch.

very interested in full browser flash:

here's what i have:

a movieclip the size of the stage (900x580). this movieclip is just a gradient.

this movieclip is the background, offcourse on top of that are the rest of the layers and their content.

This is what i want:

i want the content to be centered in the browser. And the gradiend or background movieclip to fill the browser window.

to put it simple, not a pattern, but a picture to fill the browser. like in lee's full browser tut.

Full Flash Browser
an example of what i want is the resize capabilties on

http://www.underoath777.com/newsite/main.php.

Where their buttons panel stays the same distance from the right edge of the window, and so does their big underOATH logo. basically i want them to stay in position, and when the browser window is resized well they will disappear if they are no longer in view. p.s. i do not want them to scale, like the background does. i also want it to work for any component, because my header is Dynamic Text, while the Buttons are buttons, not movieclips.

i already have the background resizing already, can anybody help me with the ActionScript for the above please?
