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,

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,
Tony

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!

Is It Possible To Rescale An Original Size Of The Movie Into A Different Size?
I made a movie 1024 by 800. I don't want to rescale each image manually to to fit this new size 800by 600. I want a quick way. Is there an actionscript that can do it for me to scale the whole movie to a new size800 by600?

MOVIE SIZE Vs STATE SIZE
Hey All,

First post here!!!!

Im just wondering why my STATE SIZE is always almost double the size of my MOVIE SIZE in Flash MX's Bandwidth Profiler.

For example, my last flash project produced these results.

MOVIE SIZE = 13kb
STATE SIZE = 26kb (loaded 100%)

Whats up with that?

What bloats the file size by so much? Can I optimize this?

I have already checked for artwork that isnt in the Library, I have no sound and perhaps about 15 lines of basic actionscript!

Any help or advice would be great......

Thanks in advance!

Scene File Size Huge Compared To Seperate Movie File Size?
I have a flash movie with multiple swf files imported into different movieclips throughout. Each of the imported movieclips is a seperate scene of the original movie. The thing I found out is that if I copy all the frames of scene 2 for example, and paste them into a new movie. Then publish the new movie as a swf. The file size is much smaller than the scene 2 swf when published from the original movie. Does anyone know why?

Problem With Loading Larger Size Movie Into Level 0 Original Movie

Making Holder Movie Aquire Size Of A Loaded Movie
Kinda simple concept.

In Flash, external movie receives the properties of the movie it loads into, but I was surprised to find myself needing exactly the opposite.

When buttons are pressed, the Holder movie clip instance loads different external movies.
This Holder movie is connected to the windows style Scroll bar that should resize depending on the Holder movie height.
Therefore I need the Holder movie to acquire the height of the loaded movie so that the Scroll bar can resize accordingly.

I wonder if it's at all possible. Simple Movie1._y == Movie2._y doesn't seem to work.

How To Keep An Internal Movie The Original Size When The Parent Movie Is Scaled?
What I am trying to do is to make my own scrollbar component. I have made them before but always have to custom build it. What I would like to do is to build a component.

The problem I can't seem to find an answer to is that when you stretch the component in author mode, the buttons (movies) stretch, I don't want them to stretch. Actually, don't care if they stretch in author mode, but what them the original size in runtime.

I have torn apart the original scrollbar, but can't see where it solves that problem..

anyone got an answer to this one?

HOW? Retaining Movie Size Upon Loading External Movie.
I have run into a problem creating a stand alone presentation ,, when a swf (movie) is loaded into the stand alone player, any re-sizing of the origanal is lost and reset to what the loaded movie is set to...

I know there is a way to cure this, but my referance books do not talk about this particular issue.

Please let me know what i should do via action script.

[MX]Host Movie Changing Size Of Loaded Movie
I have got 3 different size movies one of which will be loaded into a main movie dependant on the result of a browser setting query executed by: System.capabilities.screenResolutionX;.

The problem I am having is getting the movies loaded into the host movie to retain their original dimensions. Although I have set the “Dimensions” setting to “Match Movie” in the movie to be loaded, it always scales up to the size of the stage in the host movie?

I had thought about loading the movie into a clip & then scaling that, but the partial example in a reference book that i'm using, although not explaining the whole process, does load a swf into a host movie not a clip.

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!

Getting The Movie Size Without Loading The Movie
Hi,
I´ve got a level0 movie with some buttons. each buttons loads another movie via loadmovie() to _level1. So far everything works fine.

I would like to include the size of the level1 movie in the button (on mouseover) with dynamic text, because the movie size changes often. But I tried and failed to get the file size with getbytestotal(), because I don´t wan´t to load the movie with loadmovie() just then.

I want to display the filesize on mouseover, but load the movie only if you press the button. So the user can decide by the filesize whetherv he wnts to load the movie or not.

Thanx, Hendrik

Load Movie And The Size Of The Movie
We have used loadMovie to load some small SWF files on a home page we have made. The swf files are in different sizes and we need to be able to set the size. How do we do this?
We hoped the problem was solved with the following code, but this code only sets the size of the variabel "minRamme, the contents are still to big, resulting in only a part of the swf file being visible.
Anyway the following code doesn't work on the button, but works when the button command is put aside. How come?

knapp.onRelease = function() {
minRamme = this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip",0);
minRamme.loadMovie("ann kristin.swf");
minRamme.height = 400;
minRamme.width = 600;
minRamme._x = 0;
munRamme._y = 0;
}

Thanks in advance!

Movie Size?
just a quick one from a newbie, What is the best size to make a movie to cater for all?

i have read 600x300 but i have recently tested my movie on two friends machines and they both had 640x480 as there default size and my movie looked crap. Is this a common size or do most people have there screen set to 600x800 or 1024x768 like myself. I thought it strange that they had this setting but they said most people they know had this size. Its all a bit confusing as i personally cant stand it. If that is the norm what is the best size movie then??

I just finished my first website, and have encoutered a problem, see I designed my page at 700 by 400 pixels and I've looked at it in my computer using Internet Explorer and it displays fine, but when my client looks at it he has a bigger monitor it looks realy small it's like a square where the movie displays and on the sides it's all white, so is there a way that I can make my movie display to diferent monitor sizes?? because all the other sites that I've seen don't seem to have this problem some automatically display the movie the right size and some you just have to hit the maximize button.

For any help you may provide thank you

About Movie Size
I have created a flash movie and exported as swf. I want to create a projector and put the movie on a cd to use it as a presentation.

The movie is 600x450 in size and I have noticed when I double click on the swf file the movie shows on a window exatcly the same size (600x450) that appears like flotating with the windows desktop on the background. Then if I maximize that window, the movie expands to cover the whole maximized window but losing quality in their images and video.

-Can export the movie disabling the maximize button or resize options in the window containing the movie?

-Or can I export the movie in such a way that if you maximize the window that contains it, the windows expands to cover the whole screen but the movie keeps its size centered on it?

Thanks.

Movie Size
Is there a way to ensure my movie opens on every computer with the same physical dimensions?

I'm aware that size variations probably have something to do with the resolution to which a person has set their screen. I was just wondering if Flash has a function that would override a user's screen settings or adjust the movie size to accommodate for different screen settings and allow a Flash movie to always appear at approximately the same size.

Ever hear of any function like that?

Thanks.
