Flash :: Centered Pop-up

Centered Xml Images / Centered OnResize
I am loading xml images, while also trying to center them onResize.

In this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...otogallery.htm the images are all the same size, are being loaded into a static movieclip, and are aligned to the Top Left corner.

What I am trying to do is load different size images into a movie clip which stays centered on resize (i'm making a fullscreen flash site), while also loading each individual image centered within that clip (instead of the default top left).

Here is the code I am using for postioning the MC onResize:

Code:
mainInit();
function mainInit() {
// Set alignment and scale to allow onResize to work.
//Stage.align = "LT";
//Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
// Create the title clip.
this.attachMovie("picture", "picture", 10);
// Keeps the title clip in place when the movie is resized.
picture.onResize = function() {
this._y = Stage.height-(picture._height/2);
this._x = Stage.width-(picture._width/2);
};
// Register titleClip to be notified when movie is resized.
Stage.addListener(picture);
// Set initial position of title clip.
this.picture.onResize();
}
I tested the following code (given to me by 'The Canadian' - thanks!) - within the xml onload function using that tutorial and it would not work with the first image, and seemed to only work properly 90% of the time:

Code:
picture._x = (Stage.width / 2) - (picture._width / 2);
picture._y = (Stage.height / 2) - (picture._height / 2);
...So, my question is does anyone know how to load center aligned variable size images, while also calling the movieclip to center onResize. I have tried everything I can think of and cannot get it working properly...

Here is the link- Hit any movie in the movie section - thanks

www.imediastudios.com

Centered Pop Up
In using the tutorial for the 'centered pop-up' found on this site, I have encountered a repeating problem. It goes like this:

MainPage > button loads movie that contains more buttons.

The new buttons then utilizes the 'centered pop-up' to load the individual windows of the site.

On the first time through the site, the button for the pop up will be pushed & the main page will go blank and give a syntax error, never popping up the pop up.

Refresh page & second time through this will not happen, everything loads as it should - no errors.

What is this & where is it coming from?

LoadMovie Not Centered
Hello. I have trouble loading a movie clip properly.
Some how it does not center the newly loaded movie.
I set up the loading movie size to be the same as the transparent sestination movie clip where the loaded movie will go to.
Some how the loaded movie shows in the center as desired very quickly, but then it moves to the lower right corner of the main movie. I have to put the "dropzone01" to left top to manually adjust the loaded movie to be centered.

I am just wondering why it happened, and would like to know if there is any solution. I have about 18 more movie to load, so I don't want to manually adjust everything.

Here is the script to load movie I used:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("pic1");
loadMovie("thumb01.swf", _root.dropzone01);
}

Thank you,

Keeping It Centered....
I'm working with a table and I want it to always stay at the center of the html page. How can i do that?

If I'm changeing the size of the window the table should still remain in the center.

Centered POP UP WINDOW
I'm getting an "object expected" error when trying to load a centered pop-up window from a Flash exe on my local drive. Below is the code that I'm using on my button in Flash:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:NewWindow('artwork/HTMLpage.htm','Name','600','400','yes');");
}

And here is the function that I'm using on the HTML page:

<script language="javascript">
var win = null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll){
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+TopPosition+',left ='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable'
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
}
</script>

I want this exe to run from an autorun CD and have the windows pop up in the center of the screen. What am I doing wrong?

Centered Pop Up Window. Anyone?
I'm having trouble creating a center pop up window for my flash website.
I've designed an intro page in fireworks and imported the fireworks html into dreamweaver.
One slice says, ENTER FLASH site. (the text and images were done in pShop and the slice made in fireworks.)
I'm wanting to click on that slice and have it open my flash page in a centered window 715x430.

I know that I can use the linkage in either fireworks or dreamweaver to open the flash site but this will not tell it the size or location.

I've tried javascript which is working, but it shoves a very generic html text right in the middle of my import fireworks page. It there a way for me to put the html button javascript directly on my fireworks slice (ENTER FLASH).

The javascript i've used:
To center the window on the page:
in the html page containing the main movie, in the head tag, add

<script type="text/javascript">



</script>

Then in a html button:

<a href="javascriptpenWindow('filename.html','newWi n',400,300);">Click here for pop-up</a>

/////// the 400,300 numbers are the size of the table in the popup window.

Thanks for any help!

Centered Pop Up Window. Anyone?
I've just finished building the flash part of my site and now I'm having trouble getting it on the Web the way i need it.

What I'm wanting to do is design one of those static html pages where you have the choice between "enter flash" or "enter html".

I've designed my flash site to open in a 715x430 center window.

So I need to find out how to get my "enter flash" button to open a centered pop-up window containing my flash project.

I guess I'll be doing this all in dreamweaver but any help from you flash experts would be great.

Centered Window
Ok here's my problem.

How do I get my flash movie to open from a basic html intro page to a centered window that is 715x430 and has no margins or scollbars.

The only answers I can get is a script that tells me how to get one of those standard javascript buttons, and then when I click my movie will open in a centered window but the margins are still there pushing my movie down to the left.

What I really need is to put the correct script into an image slice that is in a fireworks doc.

So how do I select a image slice and place javascript code into it.

Thanks for any help, my head is spilting from all the searching.

Movie Is Not Centered

Centered Viewpoint
Hey, I'm currently working on a top-down action game and I was wondering if anyone knows how to do a view-point type thing so that the character is always in the center of the map. An example of what I want would be like the game at www.runescape.com. Their game has an adjustable camera which I don't need, but as you can see, no matter where you click, the person is always in the center, anyway to do that in flash?

Centered POPUP
On my site I have this code (that I got from Pelle Piano) on the 'Enter' button to open up the popup that contains the main site content:

Code:
on(release){
getUrl("javascript:window.open('http://www.eyeborg.co.uk/PhilThompson-Moonface.html','newwindow','width=640,height=480,top=0,left=0'); void(0);")
}
It works great but the popup isn't centered on the screen. Is there anything I can add to this code to change that? I have tried completely different scripts but then I realized a lot of people couldn't see the site anymore... so just a simple amendment to the code above would be much appreiated...

Can't Get .swf Centered On Page?
I recently switched from PC to Mac, and from MX to MX 2004, and noticed this little problem...I don't know which one is the cause but here goes:

I'm using Flash & Dreamweaver MX2004 and have designed a few pages. Each one is supposed to have the content (whether it's a .jpg or .swf or whatever) in the center of the page, but valign doesn't seem to work?? It's either cause I'm designing on a Mac, or cause there's something screwy in dmwvr mx2004, or I'm missing something, but I've never had this trouble in all my years designing.

Here's the real kicker...valign works fine and my pages look great when I browse on my own computers (Macs using Safari or IE for Mac). But when I check the pages on PCs using Internet Explorer, the valign doesn't work and everything is justified to the top of the page!!?

Can someone please tell me (1) if they have any idea why my valign="center" attribute doesnt work on PC, or (2) take a look at the source for these two pages below (they're two I just made recently and noticed aren't centered on PC - they're stuck at the top of the page!) and tell me what the hell is up? It's driving me nuts!!

Pan Problems - Can't Get MC Centered
Hello there

I am trying to make the movement of a movieclip pan the sound.
I am using this code:

mand1.mand1Drag.onPress = function() {
mand1.startDrag(false, -400, -50, 400, 50);
mand1.onEnterFrame = function() {
pan = 2*this._x;
firstSound.setPan(pan);
};
};

However, this requires my MC to measure its position from the center of my stage. But when I try to change my MC's "symbol position" in the "info box" Flash still sets its zero position from the stage's left side.

How can I change this? Or can I do it in a different way if it can't be changed?

Txt Field Centered In MC
I am trying to have input txt field added to a drawn square, but centered. So this is the senario. The user draws a square and a input text field is added (centered) to the square. I have it adding the input txt field but it puts it on the stage and not in the drawn square. This is the code as I have it now.

ActionScript Code:
// Create our new square and add some listeners to it to enabled dragging
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.buttonMode = true;
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDraging);
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDraging);
addChild( mc );
var txt:TextField = new TextField();
txt.type = "input";
txt.text = "Enter Room Name";
addChild(txt);

and for the square itself...

ActionScript Code:
function square(e:Event):void
{
mcRef.graphics.clear();
mcRef.graphics.lineStyle(1, chosenColour2, 1.0);
mcRef.graphics.beginFill(chosenColour, 1.0);
mcRef.graphics.drawRect(mouseIniX, mouseIniY, mouseX - mouseIniX, mouseY - mouseIniY);
mcRef.graphics.endFill();
}

Keeping A MC Centered..?
I'm making a car-driving game but I can't get the map to scroll the way I want it to.

This is my problem:
I'm looking for a script to center the car MC,
so that if it turns left 90 degrees you go to the left (the map doesn't rotate, but the car do, making the map scroll depending on where the car is)...
Hope you understand.

I have tried anything I can come up with, but I'm not good at actionscript.

Almost Centered All My Loaded Jpg's Except The First One?
So I have search the forum and I am able to center loaded jpg's by

having an empty mc called photo and

ActionScript Code:
function alignImage(){
   sW= 500;
   sH = 400;
   photo._x = (sW- photo._width) / 2;
   photo._y = (sH- photo._height) / 2;
}

but this doesn't apply to the first loaded jpg. I read about being sure the .jpg has been loaded

So I add this

ActionScript Code:
photo.onEnterFrame = function()
{
if(photo._width >0)
{
   sW= 500;
   sH = 400;
mcWidth = photo._width;
   mcHeight = photo._height;
   photo._x = (sW - mcWidth) / 2;
   photo._y = (sH- mcHeight) / 2;
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
But this doesn't work what am I doing wrong??

Website Always Centered
I am trying to make a flash website, very simple website, I don't know coding or anything but I know enough to make a flash website. One thing I really NEED that I can't seem to figure out how to do is Make my flash website Always stay centered no matter how big or small the user makes their browser window. And if they change the browser window sie then the site adjusts and centers itself.

Can Anyone help me out? It seems like a fairly simple thing to do, I just can't seem to figure it out? Do I HAVE to use code or can I click a setting somewhere? I never used code.

Thanks for your help.

Centered Pop Up Window
I am designing a basic intro menu in dreamweaver, (one of those basic enter flash page or enter html page).

I want to know how I would get a flash file to lauch in a 715x430 centered pop up window from a html intro page

I have read the tutorial in the tutorials section about centered pop up windows but it seems to mention only preforming this action from a flash file itself.

Should I just create this button in flash and import it into a dreamweaver file.

Thanks for any help. A bit new at this.

Centered Pop Up Window
I currently use Flash MX 2004. I used the tuturial for centered pop up window for Flash MX. When I previewed my work in Dreamweaver, the pop up window link works. When I uploaded the swf file and viewed it in http...(blah blah blah) the pop up link does not work. What did I do wrong? I followed the directions. Is it because I'm working on Flash MX 2004 and the tutorial is only for Flash MX? Is there a new tutorial for Centered pop up window for Flash MX 2004? Please help.

Thanks,
AilinaLei
