Top Banner Full Size Drop Down To Smaller Size?
This is kind of a 2 part question, don't know if this should be in the Flash forum or server-side/client-side.
First Question: I need to make a top banner for a new site, which has 4 pictures in it which will all be animated, the trick with this is I need to have it be 800x115 to show the full animation then when the pictures all move up their will be 8 or so buttons underneath the banner. Question is can I get this animation to be throughout the entire site without ever replaying that animation, without using frames? I am using php includes changing the ?id.
Second Question: If the first one doesn't work, I need to set it up using two different tables having the top banner in one and the buttons in the other. Here's the question, how can I do that animation from the first question with just javascripting, so the animation will not play again?
Reiterate: 1 Animation, a top banner which will be a box with 4 pictures in it will start out at full size (800x115) then the 4 pics will move up so that they will now be (800x85) and then buttons will be in the (800x30) spot.
I have seen some codes that look like they would work using cookies but I will need an explanation as to how it works if you can help me. I might have another animation in the site so I will need to make sure that some animations can play over again.

Banner Ad File Size
I've seen some banner ads online with video embedded in it whose file size was only 4K. I've tried to do the same, even with the video streaming from an external file, and the smallest I could get the swf was 35K. How do I get the file size for my swf smaller?
Making Ad-banner Size Animations
I have flash 5, which I bought when MX came out, which made it very cheap, I am making a website, and a client would like animated banners to put on the site. I can't remember the exact size for banners, but I think that it is something like 468X60 (pixels?) and this is the size I need. I have absolutely no idea of how to make a flash movie a different size in flash 5, can anyone help me?
Thank you very much

[F8] Initial Download Size For Banner Ads
Hi,
I have a question regarding Flash generated banner ads. I usually don't design banner ads, so I'm in the process of understanding some of the unique specifications for them.
One of them is the Initial Download requirement. Basically, the hosting site requires a Initial Download size of 15k. The total banner size is 85k.
I used the ifFrameLoaded function to (hopefully) keep the rest of the banner from playing until frame 1 is loaded.
Code:
ifFrameLoaded (1) }
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Would anyone verify if this is the correct way to work with the Initial Download requirement for banner ads?
Many thanks!
Recommended Banner File Size?
Hello.
I did a google search for "recommended flash banner file size" and didn't find much other that the Adobe site which advises to keep it under 15k.
15k are you serious?
I've seen some pretty graphic heavy banners with images and everything and I find it hard to believe they are under 15k.
I can only get mine down to 52k.
Does anyone know the recommended maximum file size for an average flash banner. (like the myspace ones for example).
Thank you,
A

Problems Using Logo In Flash, And Exporting Banner At The Right Size
Hi there,
My first ever post lol.
1) I am currently designing an animated Flash banner in Flash 8. The client wants me to use the company logo in the animation. But every time I try to use an image of their logo it looks very blurry and pixellated.
I have tried importing various formats, gif, jpeg, png, but everytime I send the movie to the client they say it looks very fuzzy. I am not compressing the movie when publishing. But i did resize it a bit in Flash.
I have the original logo in EPS format, but I cannot use this directly as I need to retain the transparency around the logo (its circular).
I thought about recreating the logo in Flash so it would be crisp vectors but I have neither the fonts or the time to get it right.
How do I get clear images in Flash?
2) Also how do I publish this as the exact size of the banner? When I send it to clients it is in a sea of white space and doesnt look like a banner. Aah!
Please halp I am the only one at work who is creative and I need this sorted by Monday! waa!

Match The Size Of A Dynamic Movie To The Size Of Its Parent Container Using ActScrpt?
I have a program that is dynamically loading images into a nested movie clip. The Parent movie contains the two separate movies within it and images are to switch back and forth in them. I need to know how I can use action script to load these nested movies to the exact dimension of the parent movieclip.
Here is my code:
onClipEvent (load) {
StagePictures._lockroot = true;
e_mc.loadMovie(_root.PathText+_root.imageClips[0]);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(a number)) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.something)) {
if (Key.isDown(a number)) {
_root.StagePictures.e_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("SecondClip" , 3);
_root.StagePictures.e_mc.SecondClip.loadMovie(_root.PathText+_root.imageClips[1]);
_root.ScoreBox.text = scvar+1;
_root.Command.text = _root.imageCommand[1];
_root.Response.text = "Correct!";
}
}
}
}
StagePictures is the parent clip, e_mc is a child, and SecondClip is a child within e_mc.
Both e_mc, and SecondClip are loading the dynamic images which are the paths labeled _root.PathText+_root.imageClips[0, and 1];
The size of the images need to be contained within the size of the parent clip of both called StagePictures.
How can I set the size of the two nested clips to match the parent?
Thanks,

Why Use Flash Video When It Bumps The File Size To Outrageous Size?
I have imported a flash video into my flash movie. I have run the .mov in sorenson squeeze and have it nice and small. As soon as I import it into flash (because this is the only way I know to do it in order to run a video in flash) now I have 1024 frames and a HUGE .swf file.
So what is the point to using flash at all...or am I doing something wrong. Is there a better way to handle video within flash??
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,

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!!!!

Preloader Size Doesn't Match File Size.....
Alrighty, my preloader says that my filesize is 242kb. MY ACTUAL filesize is 179kb, according to flash and windows. Is there something I am missing here?
Why is my preloader giving me garbage?
www.paulhanak.com is the site.
Here is the code:
Code:
totalBytes = Math.round(getBytesTotal() / 1024);
loadedBytes = Math.round(getBytesLoaded() / 1024);
percentDone = Math.round((loadedBytes / totalBytes) * 100);
if (_root._framesloaded >= _root._totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}
Thanks for any help! This is mind boggling.....

Stage Size Vs Published Size Question
Ok here is the dilema...
I have a 500w x 350h stage. For testing I have imported a picture the same size as the stage and placed a 1 pixel border around it.
When I preview the movie, the border shows up fine all around the imported picture but when I publish it to the web, I only see a border on the left and top edge. The right side and bottom are missing.
Here is the web version: Test Site

Screen Size And Flash Movie Size
Can you create a swf larger than the resolution of the users screen and then just center it on the screen, or if not, is there a way around this. I want to have popup windows that can be moved around within the flash file, but I need the flash file to be at least as big as the users screen so that they don't just disappear. Is this possible??
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?

Movie Size Fitting Any Monitor Size
Hi :-D
Is there a way to design a Flash movie so that it will look good on all monitor sizes? For instance I designed a Flash site that was 800 x 600 but on larger monitors it looks incredibly small. I know that I cannot control everyones individual monitor settings but is there any way that I can set up the movie so that it stretches and fits any monitor size?
Many thanks!! You guys are awesome!

Stage Size And Dyn. Text Fiel Size
I'm verrrrrrry close to solve my problem...
I'm using a dynamic text box that will contain external text. The lenght of the text may be just a few words or can be as long as a small paragaph.
I've found a way to make my text box longer to fit the amount of text in it with this line of code:
mytextbox.autoSize = true; (This is great!!!!!!!!)
Now... The size of the flash i'm using have to be longer or shorter depending of the size of the dynamic text box...
How can I do that? The Flash need to folow the size of the text box... It will display my blog titles on an html page.
Is it possible?
Tween To Konstant Size But Backtween To Old Size
hello u all!
I got a big problem, may some of you can help me?
Some boxes MC's are attached on stage and now, after press, they should start their included animation. so far...
they should now change scale and position to a konstant, and after press again, !!! move back to their origin size and place.
how do you manage this per actionscript?
I also tryed the new tweening-classes, but they are not exact enough.
the boxes are then moving through each other.
here is my script:
ActionScript Code:
Array.prototype.findRemove = function(removeEntry) {
for (var i in this) {
if (this[i] === removeEntry) {
this.splice(i, 1);
}
}
};
myArray = ["0x804D4D", "0x4D6F80", "0x5E804D", "0x80804D", "0x805E4D", "0x6E4D80"];
len = myArray.length;
xpos = 200;
ypos = 300;
xscal = 30;
yscal = 30;
// ---
for (var x = 0; x<len; x++) {
currClip = _root.attachMovie("move_mc", "clip"+x, (len-x), {_x:xpos, _y:ypos, _xscale:xscal, _yscale:yscal});
//wert = myArray[random(myArray.length)];
wert = myArray[x];
my_color = new Color(currClip.card_mc.front_mc);
my_color.setRGB(wert);
currClip.meineFarbe = wert;
//myArray.findRemove(wert);
xpos *= 0.93;
ypos *= 0.95;
xscal *= 0.93;
yscal *= 0.93;
currClip._alpha = 50;
currClip.onRelease = function() {
this.card_mc.top_mc._alpha = 100;
this.card_mc.front_mc._alpha = 100;
this.card_mc.shad_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
this.card_mc.top_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
this.card_mc.front_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
newScale = 30*1.07;
newXPos = 200*1.07;

File Size -- Does Size Really Matter
I got this site and most of you already know about it - I have been trying and trying to crunch it -----
QUESTION:
what is a decent file size that I should be aiming on - no bare in mind that the site has imported graphics and sounds --> the lowest I can get it is 398KB ---> and that's with the sound being horrible ->
what is an ideal site usually? 250kb ---> is that even possible? I mean - sound - graphics - should I just quit?

Load Size And Actual Size Different?
im authoring in mx and using a shell movie to load component movies as needed. the component movies use preloaders. im publishing in v6 using compression - 675 kb vs 800 kb! but when i test the movie out, the preload indicators (variables telling me kb loaded, etc) show 800kb even though the file literally saves/renders at 675kb. what gives here?
thanks.

About Stage Size And Workspace Size
I have a stage size of 600*400 and i need to create a big big movie clip (about 4000*3000), at one time only a small part of the clip is seen and we can scroll to see the whole thing.
The problem is that the size of the workspace is 2040*1820 and i don't know how to enlarge it (except by resizing the stage).
Any idea ?
Best Font Size? & Page Size?
Are there any pro's out there that have made loads of quality sites who can answere these questions for me?
OK, what is the perfect font size for a website which scales to the users screen resolution (full screen). I want the font to be clear and readable at all resolution sizes.
If you have images in a scaleable website, will they distort in appearance/quality depending on the users resolution or will they always be clear? and should they be created to be 100% at the top end of the resolution size or at the lower end?
Also what is the best size to have your .fla if you want to have a scaleable movie? 750x550??
Hope this makes sense?
Thanks.
Image Size / File Size
Hi there,
I´ve got a little move which holds eight *png images. The final movie size is around 200 KB.
The images are too large in size anyway, so I did the following:
Scaled the MC holding the images to 50%: No difference in movie(swf) size.
Scaled the bitmaps in Flash down to 50%: No difference in movie size.
Is there another way besides open all the images in an external editor and scale them?
Thanks, Hendrik
Photoshop Size Vs Flash Size?

Bitmap Size - How Can I Know It's File Size In A .FLA ?
Hi there! thanks for taking the time.
Is there a way to know how big a bitmap
is (in Kb filesize) once imported into the library of the source FLA file ?
Sometimes I get flash tutorials with bitmaps embeded but I don't know
how to figure out how big they are? ...of course without comparing the FLA file before
and after I delete the bitmap from the library.
Thanks!
