Flash :: How To: NOT STRETCH The Image In Movie Clip

Stretch A Movie Clip
This may be tricky. I want to have a "beam" shooting from a gun.The trick is, i want the end of the beam to be where my cursor(or crosshair is)but have the beggining of the beam stay at the gun point. I want the "beam" to be a movie clip, as it will have a quick animation to it. right now it just stays a certain length, and looks dumb when the crosshair is above or below a certain point. Any help would be great. Thanks everyone..

How Did They Do This On This Site? Image Stretch
http://213loftcompany.com/

Basically, I am wondering how they have this background image fill the browser window. I have used fluid flash before, but usually it deals with colors, or patterns for the background and not an image. How does it not distort when you resize the window?

I'm curious and dying to know. Thanks.

Subtle Image Stretch/blur Anomaly
Greetings everyone. I'm experincing this odd image stretch in my flash movie. The images are cut from photoshop then stored in the library and linked for export by actionscript, then they are all put together in one long line for mouse sensitive scrolling. The source clips and container clips have not been scaled or transformed in any way and the problem is inconsistent. I was wondering if you guys could go to the following site and check out "Arctic Fleece" then product 2012. Tell me if you see what I see.. cheers.

[F8] Swapping New Image In As Movie Clip - How To Clear Size Of Old Image?
I'm loading in a jpg with the MovieClipLoader object. After the initial load, the movie clip _width property accurately reflects the width of the jpg loaded. Subsequent reloads show the width of the initial image. i need to get the width of the jpg i just loaded so i can properly size it for display. Is there a good way to clear out the initial jpg?

Load External Movie Clip: Image Does Not Appear Where Clip Is
Trying to build the same thumbnail photo gallery I've been working on forever. I'm loading large image into movie clip, however, when the clip loads, the picture appears over to the far right and not in the place where I have place the clip on the stage. My code is for the button is :

on (release) {
if(this.mainloader == Number(this.mainloader)){
loadMovieNum("fam01.jpg",this.mainloader);
} else {
this.mainloader.loadMovie("fam01.jpg");
}
}

I know it has something to do with x and y coordinates, but I've tried everything I know with no luck. If it involves AS, where do I put it.
Thanks to all who reply.

I want to scale the movie up to fill the height and width of the screen. Putting 100% for h&w doesn't just work. Any ideas maybe in AS? It's been awhile since I've had to do any Flash coding...

It's been awhile since I've been here but I still see a lot of the same ppl are around. Remember the pimp smiley was made for me yah! that rocked.

Stretch Movie To Max Size
I've developed a page that stretches to fit the browser that contains it. Is it possible to make a movie do this, but stop expanding at a certain size? This way it makes good use of space in a small browser/monitor, but won't get so big that embedded images stretch and distort to ugly porportions in big browsers/monitors.

Thanks!

Loaded Movie Doesn't Stretch Down To Fit
Hi there,

I am trying to add an additional portion to a flash website inside the same html page using the loadMovie command.

I need the site to maintain the same format... so for this add on page, which is wider than the original site, I went thru great pains to make it exactly the same proportions (ratio) as the root site.

The site is now 550x400, so i made the add on page 660x480, the same x:y ratio... however when I loadMovie the larger onto the small, I don't see the bottom or right part of it... boo hoo.

I would like to keep it all on one html page if possible.

Is there any 'easy' way to shrink everything on the add on page down to 550x400?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Stretch Flash Movie To Fit Web Browser.
I can't achieve doing this simple thing :

I have a flash that resolution is 800*600, on small displays it's okay, but on an HD screen it looks very small.
Web browser resize function is not good, it's badly stretched and runs very slowly.

After searching; I found Publish Settings, Dimensions : Match Movie; changed it to 100% percent.
Things gets resized properly but now too much space is shown, as you can see on picture 2.

Original, working.

Stretched but showing too much.

Do you know how can I fix this ?

Thanks a lot ! :-)

Making A Movie Loaded To A Level Stretch To 100%
This might be a basic question... I have jjust never encountered it till the job I am now working on.

I have a movie that is 100% x 100% (noscale) so takes up the full browser window. Within that movie, I am calling another movie to load in Level 10

How to I get the content of the movie that is being loaded in level 10 to stretch (scale) to 100% ? It contains a movieclip that I need to stretch out to fit the browser.

At present it just loads into Level 10 and is the size defined in the file - so it doesn't stretch.

I am using Cs3 with actionsscript 2

Movie Clip Image
I have a movie clip that displays pictures after reading file names from an xml file. It basically is an image gallery with scroll function implemented. I got it from one of the tutorial sites and modified slightly. When I changed the size of images to meet my needs, however, images started showing as streched along the x-axis (width) to the right. Please, understand that I changed the size of the picture holder (movie clip) accordingly. It almost seems that somehow FLASH has its own way of measuring a pixel, different from Photoshop. Is there something I am doing wrong or there is simply a trick I dont know as FLASH newbie? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is the whole code:
Code:
var x:XML = new XML();
x.ignoreWhite = true;

var urls:Array = new Array();
var captions:Array = new Array();
var links:Array = new Array();
var whoIsOn:Number;

x.onLoad = function(success) {
var photos:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(i=0;i<photos.length;i++) {
urls.push(photos[i].attributes.url);
captions.push(photos[i].attributes.caption);
links.push(photos[i].attributes.link)
}
holder.loadMovie(urls[0]);
caption.text = captions[0];
linkholder.link = links[0];
trace(linkholder.link);
whoIsOn = 0;
}

x.load("flash.xml");

previous.onRelease = function() {
if(whoIsOn > 0) {
whoIsOn--;
holder.loadMovie(urls[whoIsOn]);
caption.text = captions[whoIsOn];
linkholder.link = links[whoIsOn];
trace(linkholder.link);
}
}

next.onRelease = function() {
if(whoIsOn < urls.length-1) {
whoIsOn++;
holder.loadMovie(urls[whoIsOn]);
caption.text = captions[whoIsOn];
linkholder.link = links[whoIsOn];
trace(linkholder.link);
}
linkholder.onRelease = function() {
getURL(links[whoIsOn]);
}

How To Get A Flash Movie Symbol To Stretch With The Mouse, Across Frames
Hey,

I am using frames on my website. I have an animation of "liquid" in a container, I am trying to get the liquid to raise when the mouse moves up, and lower when the mouse moves down, it must be limited to raise by a certain number of pixels ie. it wont raise higher than 68 pixels. I am also trying to make it raise slower when the mouse moves slowly, and fast when the mouse moves faster. Is this possible, and if so how would I do this ?

Thanks

How Do I Make My Flash Movie Stretch To Fit A Div In Firefox/Mozilla
I want my Flash movie to stretch to fit a div that takes up only part of the browser window. It works in IE, but not Firefox/Mozilla. I really need the movie to be fluid, so using a fixed pixel size won't work for me. I can make it work by taking out the doctype so Firefox works in quirks mode, but there's gotta be a better solution than that, right?

I've read that you can make a Flash movie stretch to fit the whole browser window in Firefox by adding width: 100% and height: 100% to the body tag. Since the div is sized 100% in width and height, why is Firefox still having a spaz? How do I fix this? Any help appreciated!

The relevant CSS & HTML are below; #con is the container div and #fla is the div enclosing my Flash movie. The page can be seen at http://home.comcast.net/~ckeleher/test/test-archival/pages/testemb.htm

Thanks in advance!

relevant CSS:

CODE#con {
float: left;
width: 70.6%;
padding: 5px 0 0 5px;
}
#fla {
float: left;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

Scrolling Image / Movie Clip Box...(please Help)
Hello...

I'm currently stuck on this problem, (which I hope will be easy to overcome!)...

I want to create a scrolling movie clip, with text and images in it...(So it acts like as a 'news' section for my site...

I know you cant put images into a scrolling text box, (but I'm familiar with the code needed for text box scrolling)...However, i've no idea how to make a scrolling movie clip like the one I want...

From reading the various oldeer threads about this type of subject, I understand that you have to create this movie clip, bigger than the size of the stage, so I can fit all the info I need into it...(right...?)...

Then i assume this movie clip would be loaded into a target...(This meaning that the pictures and text that hasn't be 'scrolled' down to yet would not be seen until the viewer scrolls down far enough..???

How would i do this...?

Is that right...and whats the next step...?

What type of code will I need on the buttons, etc that will end up making the movie clip scroll...???

Basically, I need somneone who can give me advice from scratch on how to make a scrolling movie clip...!!!

Thanks for any help...
Cheers
Jeff

How? This is what I have now and it doesn't work:

Can anyone help me? I hope i was clear..

Help Loading A Image Into A Movie Clip
I'm new to flash and I'm probably way over my head but could you please help me?

I have only been doing flash for less than a week and I mostly do animations but I want to learn AS.

I have saved my pictures in a folder (i.e. /images/) and linked the file name to a mysql database (i.e. test.png) I can make a php file that makes the links to the images

PHP Code:

<?php$sql = "SELECT * FROM images";$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {echo "/images/" . $row['image'];?>

So heres what I want to do,

1.) I am making a logo for my site and I want my pictures to show up in a movie clip (the newest picture first)

2.) If a user clicks on that picture/movie clip it takes them to a specific page

3.) this isn't necessary but would greatly appreciate it. How would I set up controls so a user could switch through the latest six pictures.

If you know of a tutorial that might help please give me a link I've searched for about 30mins without luck.
Thanks in advance!
