Flash :: Really Odd Resizing

Auto-resizing Flash File When Resizing Windows, HOW?
Hello everyone,

I have been to one web site tonight at my friend's house and I have forgotten whats the web site address. But this thing amazed me and stupid me doesnt know how to do.

you know whenever you build a web site you usually build for certain resolution right (1024x768 or 800x600 etc.. when i visited this web site, whenever i resize the window (make the window bigger smaller etc) the flash movie will follow the window size (extact fit).

I really want to know how to do that...? Anyone please help?

Help would be fully appreciated.

Resizing Problem Of Swf When Resizing Browser Window
Can any one know the javascript function to auto resize the swf when resizing its pop up window.
I need to auto resize the swf when i resize my popup window in which
the swf is displayed.
Is there any javascript function available to perform this requirement ?

Resizing Textbox Without Resizing Text - How?
Hi there,

I create a dynamic textbox (it doesn't matter about the dynamic bit actually, I've tried it with the others), type some text in.

I then go to resize and replace the textbox using the properties panel. This way of course you can get quick and pixel perfect placment.

BUT, when I use the properties panel to resize the box, the text gets all squished, stretched and distorted. Why? The box never goes smaller than the text that's in there so there'd be no pressure on the text to resize.

When I click and drag the handles on the text box it resizes with no problems at all, but this isn't quite accurate enough.

How do I resize the text box using the properties panel but without affecting the actual text inside it? Is there a property or a box that I haven't clicked/need to click?

Cheers

Resizing Objects In Transition (resizing)
I came to a little problem when I was trying to make a resizing function. Other people (flash designers) should use it then in fla while designing stuff so the whole thing (all objects) support resizing functionality. When end user start dragging the browser window, the flash site will reflect this and resize itself keeping the proportions.

Of course this is easy stuff to do. But… until you come to the point that designers will want to animate objects on the stage (changing their size). The problem occurs when user resizes the browser when some animation is taking place on the stage. I can’t come up with the solution that will update the resizing animation and reflect resizing of the browser in the same time. In other words, if you resize the stage and object is in transition (resizing itself) it doesn’t reflect stage size change properly.

You can find my as class + fla at this link http://www.flashportal.sk/stageResize.zip

Please let me know if you have any ideas how to solve this or any questions.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

[F8] Resizing A Movie Without Resizing The Text
I am trying to make a Flash movie with the dimensions of 100%x100% instead of specific pixel dimensions. So no matter what window size the browser is everything will appear.

However, when the window shrinks the text does too. I have seen many other sites that use the same 100%x100% that follow the size of the browser, and shrink everything but the text.

Can someone help me out? Is that a new feature of Flash CS3?

Thank you all so much in advance.

Resizing MC's
Hi I'm having trouble resizing *.swf files that I'm loading into a movie clip, the *.swf files contain images that I have converted to *.swf.
I can scale the image but this doesn't help because the image's are all different sizes so I need to resize them but when a try to resize the MC in which I am loading the *.swf files using _width & _height the image either disapears or does somthing else wierd.
I'm not sure what is going wrong, I'm targeting the empty MC then trying to resize it using pic._width = 150;
pic._height = 150;
is this code right, or am I doing something wrong?

Resizing MC's...
Ok I tried teh tut on Resizing the flash MC. but It doesn't work.. At leaste for me. I have Flash 5 and it is a little diferent script as you know. Here is the tut in short:

New symbol = mc = 'Triangle'. Make a right angled triangle. Sides about 20 px. Rt. angle = bottom right. Put this rt. angle corner at the cross hairs of the stage. New layer. Button symbol = similar triangle. Actions for the btn:

On (Press)
Start Drag ("")
End On On (Release)
Stop Drag
End On

We're still in the 'triangle' mc edit mode, so make a new actions layer:

Frame 1:

Set Property ("/scaler", X Scale) = GetProperty("",_x)
Set Property ("/scaler", Y Scale) = GetProperty("",_y)

Frame 2.

Go to and Play (1)

Put the 'triangle' mc on stage. xpos. = 100, ypos. = 100, so it lies inside the bottom right hand corner of 'scaler'.

But all it does after changing the script for flash 5 is move the Triangle. Can anyone give me a better tut that Maybe even I can understand .

Thanks andy

How do I resize an object relative to its center, instead of to the opposite corner? Or, is there a way to draw circles from the center out, instead of defining the rectangle that it's inscribed in?

Hello!

I've just designed a menu for a site, after adding all the motion tweens and relevant actionscript I see the movie is too big with regards to height. If I try resize the other frames don't compensate. In otherwords the first frame is the correct size...the minute I click something all the submenus are off their original centres and things move to other places.

The question is, how would I resize the entire movie and all elements resize too?

thanks!

I went to this site www.nooflat.nu today, and would love to know how the movies are visually resized each time a different movie (external or mc) appears?

looks really cool and would love this transition between external movies aswell as movie clips within flash.

Does anyone know how this is done?

I need help doing two things:

I want the user to be able dragging resize an image.

Resizing Mc.......I Think? How Is This Done?
I am hoping someone can explain how this is done.

Check the link below to see what I am talking about
to the left and right of the pics are arrows that navigate to next or previous pic

http://www.schmidtfoto.de/

I think each pic is loaded into a empty mc? But the frame of each mc or picture chanes according to the size of the pic that is being loaded.

How or is it possible to have some code that changes the frame size according to the pic that is being loaded?

Resizing With AS
I have an external SWF that I loaded into an MC. I am trying to make that movie fit in a 96x96 window (so that the proportions stay the same, but it fits in the window). The problem is, when I change the _width property, the _x property moves too (and the same with _height and _y)! Is there a way to prevent this, or a mathmatical formula to know where I should put _x and _y after I change the size to have the movie stay in the same place and just resize. Thanks!

Resizing The Swf
how do you make an swf play...but make the window say 50% smaller?

Resizing
my swf and all the clips within it are too small to view and I was wondering if it would be possible to enlarge them.
Thank you for your help.

About Resizing
I have made a lot of frames of seq of animation in flash. Now I want to change the size of each animation to a different size because my border is too big and therefore it's a waste of space. How do I shrink each frame to the right size.(keep in mind in every frame a different element comes into play, so I can not just simply change the size in the property each time, that would not work) When i try to change the size with the help of grids and rulers it wasn't very accurate, the animation turned very jumpy. Any suggestions?

100% Resizing
hi. i have seen websites that are 100%x100% but the contents of the movie dont resize, only the movie itself. does that make sense? how is this done, is it part of the html?

if i find an example i will post it. thanks!

Good morning ladies and gentlemen.

Im putting together a cd-rom for the company i work for, a little presentation thing. i want to the presentation to run 1024 x 768 and if the screen is bigger i want it to sit in the middle with just white space around...

i.e

fscommand("allowscale", "false");

however i was wondering if there was ne way that if the user is running 600x800 it tests this and sets the allowscale to false.

does that make sense. if theyre running at 800x600 its scales if theyre running ne thing greater then it, it doesnt

Resizing
Is there anyway that you can disable the resizing of a swf if you don't embed it into an HTML?

For reasons beyond my control, I cannot embed my movies into an HTML file for this project. However, they absolutely cannot be resized because I used many bitmaps. People with 800 x 600 resolutions are seeing blurry messes because their browsers are distorting my images. The only solution that I can think of is to embed them into an HTML file that does not allow them to be resized, but alas it's the one method I cannot use.

hello

can anyone tell me how to do this without moving individual frames. If i have created a movie that is say 500x400 and want to resize it to 200 x 100 is there any way of moving all the frames to fit into my new movie?

thanks very very much, if anyone knows it will save me hours of moving frames to their new location

Hey all

I am yet again in need of your expertise! The problem I am having is that my website links directly to SWF files which then open in their own window, but the size of that window changes, meaning that sometimes the SWF is full screen and sometimes its the proper small size. Im pretty sure there is action script or something to make the SWF open at its set stage size, anybody know how to code this? Im feeling a bit rusty so appreciate all the help.

Thanks again

How Is This Resizing Done?
Hi There,

I've visited the very talented Joshua Davis website at:

http://www.joshuadavis.com

I'm curious as to how the site is constructed so that the flash movie extends to the width of the browser window (no matter it's size), but maintains a specified height. It looks like one solid movie file, without frames, layers, etc. Is the width of the movie longer than the largest monitor out there? I've got 1600 pixels running across, and if I maximize my browser window, the site still extends to either end. Any ideas as to how this is done?

With kind regards,
Laz.

Resizing MCs
I'm using the following code

onClipEvent (load) {
// Define initial height and position
_root.high = 300;
_root._x = 0;
// Define initial width and position
_root.wide = 300;
_root._y = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// Page
with (_root.page) {
// Height
if (_height>_root.high) {
_height -= (_height-_root.high)/6;
} else {
_height += (_root.high-_height)/6;
}
// Width
if (_width>_root.wide) {
_width -= (_width-_root.wide)/6;
} else {
_width += (_root.wide-_width)/6;
}
//x position
if (_x>_root._x) {
_x -= (_x-_root._x)/6;
} else {
_x += (_root._x - _x)/6;
}
//y position
if (_y>_root._y) {
_y -= (_y-_root._y)/6;
} else {
_y += (_root._y - _y)/6;
}
}
}

with

on (release) {
_root.wide = 600;
_root.high = 700;
}

on buttons.

to change the size of an mc. I wanted the MC to have a white boarder round it of like 10px but i wanted this to stay constant when the MC changes. Is there a nice simple way to do this using two MCs rather than one.

Cheers for the help

i'm new to flash..i'm sure this is asked just about everyday:

i have a .fla files i'm working with...it's got 11 layers..
i made it way too big i guess... the document properties go up to 40x40" and it's running over the edge so i need to resize it.
i tried to select each layer and scale it down..but the layers that are active moving layers return to the original large size when i play the movie..
is there a way to scale down all the layers at the same time.
i think i could convert it to a movie .swf file and do it, but i'm not done with the movie..i've got more to add.

any ideas? i don't know anything about code by the way..

Resizing Swf
Hey,

not at all sure how this has been done, but the basic effect i am after is viewable at this website:

http://www.milligram.ne.jp

click on the enter button (left hand side) then from the nav at the bottom click on 'works' and then any of the thumbnails which load in. Once the image loads in full page you will notice that when you resize your browser window, the photo in the background resizes, but the navigation elements stay the same size and hug the boundaries of the browser.

i am trying to achieve this in flash mx. i have so far created a holder.swf which loads in content.swf(which i want to resize) and nav.swf (which i want to stay the same size) can i acheive this by using the loadMovie command???

I am simply trying to resize my fla file to a smaller size, and it always screws up the entire movie!!

If I just export the movie and import it into a new doc and try to resize it, the buttons do not work and the entire movie plays through without recognizing the actions or buttons. Please help. I am using Flash 8 on a macintosh system. Thanks.

[CS3] Resizing An SWF
OK, so I've got an SWF file given to me by a customer and they want me to resize a 1000x700 swf file, to fit an 800x500 content area. when i change the size of the file, the stage changes, but the content within does not adapt to the file size change, so elements of action display off the area. How do i go about resizing the file, and everything contained within without having to redesign the whole flash file?

So basically what i want to accomplish is how do i resize the 1000x700 flash file to fit an 800x500 content area?
