Can You Load A Movie With A Fixed Pixel Size?
I have a background movie where I load an image in. When the browser is stretched , or more important when the resolution is changed, the loaded movie changes size along with everything else. Is there a way to keep the loaded movie at an absolute size , regardless whether the parent movie is resized?

Thanks in advance.

Sizable Movie Clip With Fixed Text Size
The title doesn't explain this very well, so here is what I'm trying to achieve...

Basically I'm after a menu bar that goes right across the top of my movie (touching left and right sides), with X options in it that are specified in an array. Each of these options could be of varying width and the last item in the array needs to size itself to take up any remaining space that the other buttons haven't filled. As mentioned each of these options could be of varying width, but I want them to all have the same sized text (which will be centered horizontally).

All sounds pretty simple, on my main scene I have a movieclip called 'MenuButtonBar' which is about 30 pixels high, and takes the entire width of the movie. I then have a symbol called 'MenuButton' which is just a plain movie clip with a colored square for a background and a TextField on it with an instance name.

So I loop over the array and create instances of the MenuButton and add them to my MenuButtonBar, setting the text on the TextField, calculating the overall width along the way and then auto-sizing the last one to take up the available space.

Works perfectly.

Here is my problem:

Because my MenuButton symbol has an initial width of 200 pixels, which I am then changing to suit the particular button im creating, its scaling the font in the TextField. But this is only happening if I embed the font in the TextField object. (Obviously it looks terrible if I dont embed the font, but at least all the buttons have the same size text).

I've tried a whole bunch of things, like creating the MenuButton first and setting its width, then adding the text. Dynamically creating the TextField and setting its TextFormat... But it doesn't matter what I do, as soon as I embed the font it gets scaled.

Hope I've explained that well enough for somebody to lend a hand. I've attached a sample file that demonstrates the desired outcome (font isn't embeded so it looks ugly). But if you turn on embedding on the TextField in GenericButton you will see what I mean by scaling.

Thanks in advance

Auto-size Vs. Fixed Movie Size
I wasn't sure where to put this post. I hope this is the right place.

This is what I want to do:

On screen resolutions up to 800x600, I want my Flash movie to resize to 100% width and height of the browser window (since that's usually something like 635x450 on 640x480 and 755x550 on 800x600). On screen resolutions higher than 800x600, I want the Flash movie to be a fixed size (say 800px x 600px exactly).

Is this possible, and if so, how? Or is it something more to do with javascript after the final movie has been created?

Now I know I can load a movie into a movie clip but can i load it in and have the movie retain it's height and width (1024 by 768) after being loaded into a smaller movie clip (20 by 300). A movie clip placed on a static web page that is.

Well any advice will do, thanks in advance.

External Swf Won't Load Into Movie Clip At Proper Size/specs PLEASE HELP
I am having a very frustrating problem with the loadMovie function and external swfs. I have set up everything as it should be: the empty movieholder clip in the main swf and the external swf I want to load into it are the same sizes, and the movieholder is registered at (0,0). the movieholder instance and everything is named. the external swf loads into the clip fine. but when loaded, the swf's background color is gone, and stuff that is outside the stage of the external swf file shows up instead of staying inside the stage/size of the swf and the movieholder. also, this swf isn't just an image, it is an animation, so a whole other swf that I want to load into the main navigation swf.

once a swf is made from a flash file, shouldn't anything else in the flash file that is outside of the stage/main area stay out of the swf? the swf plays fine on its own in the flash player, but won't play within its own borders inside the movieclip when loaded externally. what am i doing wrong??? is there some way of formatting the external swf so the background and playing size of it doesn't change when loaded into a movieclip holder of the same size as the swf?

i have tried to find a solution for this for many hours online already and have found nothing dealing with this specific problem. i am at my wit's end. please help! thank you for your expertise...

Center Fixed-size Movie In 100% Scaled Exe
I've seen a reply to a similar question sometime early in the year, but I cant find it with the search function..

I'd like to create a presentation, in kiosk form, but with the content of the movie at a fixed size, and centered in the screen. I'd have expanding borders to fill the remainder.

I know its something to do with the stage object, but cant work out how to ensure my fixed-size swf remains fixed size if I use 100% scale. I'll be using an exe, so I cant use js to set the size of the swf and pass on those variables, so any suggestions would be welcome.

Fixed Size Loaded Movie In Fullscreen Movie?
I have a movie that opens up full screen and load an external movie into it. No problem there but I want the loaded movie to keep its original size and not resize with the full screen movie. Any thoughts on how to do that?

In the screenshot, you see how the yellow external movie loads into the fullscreen green movie. The white rectangle is only for size reference (photoshopped it in) and is not in the actual flash movies. The yellow movie is supposed to be 800x125 pixels but resizes with the fullscreen of the green movie.

Thx!

Change Movie Clip Size Without Changing Whole Swf Size?
ok this is kind of hard to phrase this question... but i have a movie clip and there is stuff in the movie clip i dont want to be seen... i thought about hidding it behind a white background but that doesnt work because it covers up other movie clips that i have.. so is there a way to set what can be seen in a movie clip

[MX04] Load Movie Clip...wait...load Another Movie Clip
ok...i'd like to do this all in actionscript if possible...on one frame.

one character (headshot). at timed intervals, the character would do something different...repeat.

[code]function antics() {
mc_Antics.start(0,0);
clearInterval(anticstime);
}
anticstime= setInterval(antics, 1000);

function antics2() {
mc_Antics2.start(0,0);
clearInterval(anticstime2);
}
anticstime2= setInterval(antics2, 2000);[code]

I don't know actionscript well at all, so is this just stupid? Any ideas on how to do this? It's not working right now...

Loading Fixed Size .swf Into 100% .swf

I want to load a couple of small .swf's into the large one, but I want the smaller ones to retain their original dimensions.

How is this done?

Fixed Window Size
Hi!

If there´s somenone that could enlighten me...
I want to know how to make a fixed window size for an swf.
I tried the fs command but for some reason it didn´t work, i tried a code that is appliable to a button (removed the button code).

I want the movie to run in a fixed size once it´s opened so, not related to a button.

Thanks!

LoadMovieNum With Fixed Size
I'm working on my first real Flash site and once I figure out a problem, 2 more pop up. Here's the newest one that I can't seem to figure out.

I have a main movie in which I've tried a couple of ways of opening external swfs. First i tried the loader component but everytime I loaded the swf, it would resize to whatever the screen res was. I then tried loadMovieNum and I still get the resizing problem. My question is what is the best way to load an external SWF into a fixed size area?

Any help would be great.

Code 4 MovieClip Button To Load A Movie Clip Into A Placeholder Movie Clip.
Yeah that title sounds a little confusing...so i will explain:

Is there a way to tell a "movie clip button" that once it is clicked on to load a "movie clip" into a "movie clip placeholder". So instead of loading an external swf into the placeholder, it will be a movie clip from within the same library. Putting every single custom clip on the timeline would take a while, so that is why I thought it would be easier like this, and the other movie clips are not that large that I want to load into it so there is no need for external swfs, trying to keep it clean. Here is the code along the lines I am trying to go for.

__________________________________________

this.profile_mc.onRelease = function() {
placeholder_mc.loadMovie("profileSection_mc","plac eholder_mc","_root.content");
}
__________________________________________

- "profile_mc is the button I am trying to activate to load the
"profileSection_mc" into the "placeholder_mc". but so far no good.

- the movie clips are within the same library, not on the timeline or external library.

- Is this possible?

Drag & Drop - Fixed Size
Okay, this may be a little hard to understood, but Ill try my best. For a website, I want to have a horizontal rectangle, with 3 smaller horizontal rectangles inside of it. Instead of text links, these are sort of the links. Each of those 3 boxes is a part of my site. I want it so that you can drag it on a field, and once it gets in contact with it, it grows bigger to fit the size of the field. And the same when putting the rectangle back into the smaller rectangle. How do we do this?
