Flash :: Sizing Issue

Sizing Issue
Hi there
I have a flash movie that when loaded, expands to fullscreen. This movie loads 3 or 4 external SWFs and my issue is that when they load them, they get sized up or down according to the resolution/monitor size. Is there any way to fix the size of the movies that get loaded so that the loaded swf's don't stretch/distort?

Thanks

PullDownMenu Sizing Issue
I copied a Javascript pulldown idea as an excercise in Flash, but I am wondering if it is even possible to do the same thing with flash in terms of interaction with the rest of the site content.

Working example (using Javascript instead of Flash):
http://madlab.tv/vin/hughey/TestWithFlashMenu3.html

Problem examples (using Flash):
http://madlab.tv/vin/hughey/TestWithFlashMenu2.html

http://madlab.tv/vin/hughey/TestWithFlashMenu.html

Either the Flash stage is too large and disruptive to the rest of the site content, OR the pull-downs don't have enough room to open up properly.

Is there some Flash 'background' trick I am missing? ...or is this just not possible with Flash?

Thanks guys...

Hello Ladies/Gentlemen.

I have a site fully complete. its sitting at 1000x1000. My question regards Actionscript,

Dynamic Text Box Sizing Issue
I have some dynamically generated buttons.
So I made a button, slapped my dynamic text box on it and made the text centered. Problem is the text of the buttons varies in length. So the spacing of the buttons seems really wide between some buttons and too small between others (partly because there's no background to the button, its just the text). Anyway to get around this?
Can I limit the size of the dynamic textbox/button to the length of the text loading into it?? tia.

Scrollbar Component Sizing Issue
OK, so I've hacked my way through changing the look of the scrollbar component to having no arrows top or bottom, and a .25 thick line instead of the thick gray "scroll track". I did this by editing the FS ScrollBar skins in the library window.

My goal is to have a thin line with just a circle as the "thumb" riding the track up and down to display the text in the field to the left. However, when I replace the thumb_middle with the circle movie clip I want, the circle stretches to accommodate the height of my scroll bar and text field. I cannot find any properties or other reasons why this occurs. Maybe it's standard.

Is it possible to do? Is there a more "official way to create skins for the ScrollBar that I need to try? Does this type of scrollbar already exist?

Thanks for your time.

Weird Button Sizing Issue...
Kinda new to AS3/Flash, and I'm having a strange issue with the Button Component.

The default button component size is 100px. If I put a button on the stage and alter it's dimensions (using the properties panel, and/or the instanceName.width property in AS3) to 20px/20px, and place it near the edge of the stage, a trace of the stage.width shows an increase in stage size as if the button is still 100px wide. This occurs with and without a label...

What's up with that?

0.1 Pixel Issue On Sizing And Positioning
Hey and hi to all,

Now I've twisted my neck over this baby for quite some time and recently a few of my classmates and my housemate also pointed out to me this really weird twitch in flash.

Here's the thing, sometimes when I position an object (shape, movieclip, whatever) on the coordinates of say x:90/y:134, then at the moment I hit enter flash will just increase or decrease the inserted coordinates with 0.1px so the shape or symbol will be at x:89.9/y:134.1
...the same thing goes with adjusting widths and heights.

Now I don't really recall if this was there already when I first started off with Flash5. I'm not sure it was there with FlashMX either, however I do think it was. Currently I'm on FlashMX2004Pro.

Eventhough I don't expect to get a solution (since this is probably just another one of the bugs MM doesn't think needs to be fixed), I'd be really happy if someone could explain to me why the 0.1px gets added every now and again...

Thanks for any input

Pocketpc Sizing Issue On 2003 Devices ?
Hi all,

I have a pocket pc flash project that uses the screensize of 239 Width to 261 Height

The screen renders correctly on my 2002 device, but on a 2003 device it seems to squash and i have no idea why this is???

I have not changed any of the coding in the flash or the html ??

I am not using percentages for size in the HTML i am using pixels.

Can anyone give me some advice on this or point me in the right direction of some forums ???

thanks in advance

Full Page Flash Repositioning/Sizing Issue
I have a main movie (Full Browser Flash site)...and within that movie there is a global navigation and a container for loading all of the external pages...Both of these items are centered horizontally (I locked vertical movement)

The container is 500x500 and the external movie's stage size is also set at exactly 500x500...

The problem: When I add elements in the external movie clip "off stage" (like a clip flying in from the side) the main movie container includes these items in measuring total "_width" of the external clip which causes the size to change from 500x600 to something like 560x500 ...even though I have the stage size in the external movie set correctly at 500x500

This is a problems with centering the container clip as these items don’t even actually appear in the external movie until they hit the stage (masked in)…so the container ends up looking “off center” wihtin the main movie ...when the stage is resized (Yes..i have a function that is tweening movement on stage resize…and it works fine as long as the external clips dont have items off stage that apparently increase the loaded width/height within the container)

Basically, everything works fine until I add items off stage in the external MC's, but I will need to do this...

Any help would be great, thanks

Sizing Photos For An Auto Sizing Gallery
I want to put together a flash gallery of photography for my photography business. I am very good at Photoshop design, html, css, javascript but I am a novice with flash. I can use it and use some actionscripting but my knowledge is limited.

I see galleries like this one: http://www.jeshderox.com/

The images expand and contract perfectly as the browser is resized. I am used to having to size pics for the lowest res screens (I design for 1024 width resos's usually).

What size should I make pictures to work like this... Does flash scale them down / up / either... are there quality issues with letting flash manage the sizing.

Add any answers to thoughts you know I should have asked...

Sizing
I'd like to use flash to construct either animated banners or graphics. Do I need to construct them within a certain size (pixels) within flash (and if so, how? Can't find resize anywhere!!!), or do I just make them in a bigger scale and then set the display size within the HTML code? The main concern is filesize, as some projects rely on quick loading pages, but still want flash.

In essence: How do I restrict the physical size (pixels) of my flash creation?

Sizing
Few questions regarding the size of Flash animations (pixel dimensions).

1. Can't find a resize funtion anywhere, so how do I set the space available for the creation of flash anims?

2. If you don't need to specify size when making anims in flash, what happens to all the leftover white space? Will it still appear when I put it on my page? And if so, how do I solve that?

Mainly related to the construction of banners and logos, as I need to make them a certain size. For instance: if I leave a bunch of white space in a gif around the bits I want, the white space will be displayed no matter how big I make the overall image because it's part of the file. How's that work with Flash files?

Hi,

I opened up a .gif in Flash.

I now have put it into a .swf by publishing it. Only problem is, my swf is huge. It is normal width and height like my gif was. I mean, the swf isn't distorted it just has a huge white space.

In flash is there a way to resize or crop?

How can I set my Flash documents size to fit the window when a user views the flash no matter their resolution. I've been switching my res back and forth to different sizes viewing sites I've made and I really was dissapointed to see a few of the outcomes on really large or really small res.

Pop Up Sizing
Hi All!

I just created a portfolio website and in my video section I have a few animations that when you click on them, they open in a new window. The problem is that when they open, they open at full screen and the images get stretched. Is there any way that I can set the size of the pop up window to the size of the animation - so that it won't maximize?

(They are swf files)

Thanks!!!!

I have published my flash movie into an HTML file to make it my home page. I am having difficulty with sizing. When I go online to view the site, the swf is centered and there is quite a bit of extra background. I want IE window to open to the exact size of the site when initial access is made. I dont want any of that extra background that the HTML file creates. I scaled the site to 100% by 100% when I published it, but I still get that extra background. How do I correct that?

Sizing Swf In New Fla
Hi..
I create animated ebooks for children reading programs with flash --- these flash fla's are sized 600/400... I would like to be able to show these swfs inside a flash gallery page.. but am unsure if I can do this. Can you use loadmovie and define the size of the swf inside another fla? I am sorry if this is confusing. Any thoughts or suggestions or even script to make this happen, if possible?

Thanks..

size I would like to get the ebooks down to is around ... 300/200, or even a bit smaller.

Sizing Help
Hi,
I'm attempting to load various external swf files into an empty MC. Each external swf is a different size (height and width). I need each externally loaded swf to be the same width, but for the length to adjust automatically so it doesn't look distored.

The MC is called "victory" and each external swf has the same name - "quick"

I've tried numerious script combinations without great sucess.

Any helpful suggestions would be great

Thanks in advance.

Basically I am using a mc with a scroll bar and have images that scroll, I need to get a lot of images in but at present they go out to the end of the grey area that flash gives you and i can only fit in about 5 or 6 images, I have already expanded the grey area by moving the images further to the right but now it will not expand anymore. I still need to get more images in ... how do i expand the grey further out so I can get more images in?

Sizing Different Frames Of A MC
Ok, I have a MC with 4 frames, in each frame is different a different picture. Each picture is a different size.
Now lets say the user is looking at frame 1 of the MC, they have the option to zoom in and around. When they zoom they are really just making the MC bigger. All good. Now when they goto the next frame they picture will be zoomed to what ever it was that the last picture was zoomed at. I need a way of telling the clip to zoom to 100%.

Self Sizing Textfield
I have a 'database' stored in an array, containing userinformation. some fielddata is short, but others are longer and thus spanning multiple lines.

The labels of the fields and the fielddata are added dynamically (using attachMovie), so that the fields (and order) being layed out can be changed at any time.

Now here is the problem:

every item is the same movieclip (which is attached using attachMovie). This clip has 2 textareas (variables as you wish) that are called label and textarea. Ofcourse the label is the fieldname and textarea the fields data.
That last one is the problem. With long fielddata my text is cut off by the size of the rectangle containing the text. Obviously I don't want that to happen. I want it to size accordingly.

A new instance of the clip has to be put directly under the last one, so that each clip has it's own length, not a fixed one.

Because the 'database' is loaded from a #include file occasionaly, it's fieldlength is unpredictable...

What am I doing wrong using the texttool, or how can I come by this problem ??

Having Trouble With Sizing
Hi,

I have Swish version 2.0, and I've been trying to make a small banner. I put the correct dimensions in the fields, but it never works. When I play it in my browser it takes up the entire screen, and does the same thing when I try uploading it. The size I'm trying for is roughly 400x100, as well as 100x100.

An easier question might be: How do many of the posters go about making the small .swf banners that they use in their posts?

Thank you,

Sizing The Page
I just started flash a week ago and I made an intro page but when I put it on the server, the page is small. When I stretch it or change the resolution, then the line stays in the middle when it's supposed to go from one side to the other. Also when I type in the url the movie jump starts too fast, any way I can add a couple of "wait" seconds in the beginning at this stage?

Thanks

Re-sizing, But Not Re-working...
Is it possible to resize the whole piece of work as opposed to just the stage, because I want to change the size of the stage but don't want to have to re apply all of the instances, effectivley re animating the whole thing...
The proportions are going to change too, from either 125x125, or 468x60 to 120x60.
It doesn't appear to be just a case of multiple frame selection and resizing skewing etc...
Any thoughts?...
Thx in advance.

Sizing MC's With Actionscript
Hello All. I am moving the x position of an MC with actionscript and its working great I was just wondering if someone could tell me how to size and MC with actionscript. I have tried the _width property but it sizes the whole movie and not just the MC. Currently this is how I have the code set up.

On the MC I have this code:

onClipEvent (load) {
toX = _x;
ease = 8;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x += (toX-_x)/ease;
}

How can I change the width of the MC ind when I send it to a new x position? I thank anyone in advance for a reply!

*Sizing Pop Up Window From SWF*
Can someone tell me where i can fix the size of a popup window? I looked over some tutorials with javascript but since I want to apply to a swf file instead of a html file, i cannot just copy and paste the script.

What i want to do exactly is:

i have a main swf on level_0, then another swf file on level_1. on the level_1 swf file, there will be a button. and when you click on this button, it'll pop up an html file. i can do it with the "Get URL" function without problem. but my question is, how can i specify the size of the popup linked from a button on the swf?

Thank you so much!!!!

Variable Pop-up, Sizing
I'm making a website in the following order:

1. Index.html (check's Flash-plugin and redirects to J.html)
2. J.html (short movie and gives a button wich opens to main-site J2.html)
3. J2.html is a flash website wich opens in a pop-up.

My first question is: How can i let this J2.html open in a semi-fullscreen (WITH the Resizable bar on top so the visitor can choose the size)I use the following code for the pop-up, but if add the code 'fulscreen=yes' the resizeable-bar is gone.

!-- Popup -->

<script language="JavaScript">

function popup ()

{

window.open("J2.html", "J", "toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=yes, height=800, width=800, screenX=" + ((screen.width - 800) / 2) +" , screenY=" + ((screen.height - 800) / 2) +", top=" + ((screen.height - 800) / 2) +",left=" + ((screen.width - 800) / 2) +" ,")

}

</script>

(My second question: What is the best framerate for a flash-website to use? I have seen variable speeds on different pc's with the same framerate...)

I hope I didn't ask too much...

Dynamic Txt Box Sizing?
I've made my own txt ticker, and it works well save one problem-

The size of the dynamic text box is static, which is fine if I'm always putting in the same amount of text, but prob is the amount will change. If I make a huge text box, I have to resize for less text, and vice versa. I'm loading the text from an external text file. Is there a way for me to specify the width of the txt box in the external file? Give it an instance and specify that width with a number? I can't seem to get it.

Any help?

Thanks
