Flash :: Resize Resolution

Detect Resolution - Auto Resize
Ok, I'm sure this has been discussed thousands of times but here goes...

Heres my site :
http://www.spiralecom.ca/CRLD/

It looks great at 1600*1200.
My stage size is 898*616

Now it is always dead center of the page. I figured that one out.
Problem is when I look at the site on a 17 inch CRT screen at 1024*768, it really looks awfull... its way too big

I have this code in my first frame :
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

Now I've noticed that if I use ' Stage.scaleMode = "showAll";

It resizes the hole flash file whenever the browser is resized... now this is sorta what I want but not really :P

My site should look exactly the same at 1600*1200 and 1024*768...

Like lets say flash detects that the user has 1024*768 then my hole flash.swf file is reduced by lets say 75% so that it still is centered and it is not blown up full screen... if the user has the 1600*1200 it stays at 100%...
if its a 800*600 its reduced and centered at 50 % ... etc etc

Is this possible? or did I loose all of you ? :P

Resize The Mc Best To The Users Screen Resolution
hi i have this code that loads my large images on my site but it does not reduce them it shows the image with original resol only so if the user looks an image that's resol is 1600*1200 and their own screen resol is 1024*768 then they cannot see the images all part. so what i want is to implement a "reduce to best fit if their screen resol is lesser then the image resol" feature for this code. if anyone can help i will be very gratefull thanks.
this is the code that loads the large movieclip

Code:
var mcl2:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mcl_listener2:Object = new Object();
mcl2.addListener(mcl_listener2);

mcl_listener2.onLoadProgress = function():Void {
mainTL.attachMovie("mc.loader", "largeloader_mc", 50000, {_x:Stage.width/2, _y:Stage.height/2});
};

mcl_listener2.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip):Void {

// remove loader
mainTL.largeloader_mc.removeMovieClip();

// set mc's for quick access
var holder:MovieClip = mc;
var image:MovieClip = mc._parent;
var border:MovieClip = mc._parent.border;

if (loadedFirst != true) {
// center holder
holder._x = -holder._width/2;
holder._y = -holder._height/2;

// border
border.colorTo(largeImageBorderColor, 0);
border._width = border._height = 0;
border.tween(["_width", "_height"], [holder._width + largeImageBorder, holder._height + largeImageBorder], 1, 'easeInOutExpo');

// attach prev | next
if (!image.prev_mc) {
image.attachMovie("arrow.prev", "prev_mc", 51, {_x:0 - Math.round(holder._width/2) - 13, _y:0, _alpha:0});
image.attachMovie("arrow.next", "next_mc", 50, {_x:Math.round(holder._width/2) - 10, _y:0, _alpha:0});
image.prev_mc.alphaTo(100, 1, 'easeInOutSine', .75);
image.next_mc.alphaTo(100, 1, 'easeInOutSine', .75);

image.prev_mc.onRelease = function() {
switchImage("prev");
}
image.next_mc.onRelease = function() {
switchImage("next");
}

}

fadeDelay = 0.5;
image._visible = true;
loadedFirst = true;

} else {
// just resize things
image.prev_mc.slideTo(0 - Math.round(holder._width/2) - 13, null, 1, 'easeInOutExpo');
image.next_mc.slideTo(Math.round(holder._width/2) - 10, null, 1, 'easeInOutExpo');
holder.slideTo(-holder._width/2, -holder._height/2, 1, 'easeInOutExpo');
border.tween(["_width", "_height"], [holder._width + largeImageBorder, holder._height + largeImageBorder], 1, 'easeInOutExpo');

}

// fade in

// populate copy
populateCopy(image, holder, thumbSelected);

if (errorCode == "URLNotFound") {
throwError("The URL you requested could not be found.");
}
};

Resolution Problems, Resize FullScreen?
Hey guys ....
I got some resolution problems .... my site is done at 1024 x 800

at my computer I can see my site just fine no problems at all ... but when someone tries to see my site at some other resolution below 1024 x 768 you cant not see my Cube anymore (the yellow and blue one)... my site is a FullScreen Site as you can see.
There's any way that you can make that fullScreen size, changeable so the user can see the site at whatever resolution they have ... what I mean is any kind of code that said ok this user has a resolution at 800x 600 and my fullScreen size will resize automatically ... Im sure I've seen something like that somewhere dont know where thought I just wonder if someone knows how to do this ? or any idea how to solve this problem ? hints whatever.
Thanks

well now that I think I dont know how many of your will have less than 1024 x 768 ..... but at least I will try .... hopefully you got my idea :lol:

by the way My site isnt finish yet as you can see

How To Resize Movie Depending On The Screen Resolution?
I am working in a flash site.
I want it to has "the same view size" in any screen.

Thanks! Byebye

Flash Screen Resolution/resize Question.
I have a large (dimensions) swf that I am trying to adapt for various resolutions. Is there a way to scale this based on resolution, or is necessary to build multiple sizes of the swf?

A good example of what we are trying to achieve is www.tronicstudio.com. The way the site relaunches full screen no matter what screen resolution you view it at is exactly what we are hoping to do.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

How Can I Resize My Flash Site To Fit Any Screen Resolution?
I built a 100% flash site with tiled framing but I have a problem. My flash was built 766 x 750 pixiels. When viewed at resolutions greater than 1024x768 the webpage looks great but anything less than that it looks like @#$@. I know most people probably view at 1024 x 768. Is there anyway to auto resize based up on screen resolution or something to detect the screen size and adjust the webpage accordingly.

Resize Movie Based On Browser Resolution
Hey

I have a flash movie which is 800x800 in true size.

I am wanting to have a display in the main content area of a website I am creating, and to also resize automagically based on browser reoslution.

The code is :

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/..." width="100%" height="100%">
  <param name="movie" value="Files/Images/flash2.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">

  <embed src="Files/Images/flash2.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800" height="800"></embed>
</object>

However the movie clip is displaying at about 25% of available space.

Any ideas please ?

Thanks

Resize Flash Movie, Make HTML Page Also Resize?
Hi All Flashkitters

I'm trying to do something that I believe is probably pretty simple and I'm guessing it involves some Javascript along with the Actionscript.

It's like on Fantasy Interactive's website, when you click on different sections of the site, the Flash container movie resizes, and makes the HTML page also resize vertically, to be able to scroll the content. Does anyone know how to acheive this? Its a handy function, I'd love to master it. It opens a big door for building flash sites that can hold real content.

So, anyone can point me in the right direction, I am greatful to.

Dynamic Resize Issue: Resize From Corner, Not Center
Okay. So I just got this little slide show I'm doing to load the next image (i'm still working on making it loop, so if anyone wants to help me with that, too feel free!)

As each new picture is loaded in the slideshow, I have a border that automatically resizes to fit it. Right now it's resizing from the center, is there any way to make it expand out from the top right corner instead of the center (since the orientation of the pictures are different, it looks a bit unnatural for what I'm doing)

Here is the code for my actions layer and if anyone can take a look and tell me what I need to change/add to make this work, I appreciate it!!

Code:
#include "mc_tween2.as"
space = 10;
photo_mc._alpha = 0;
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function(photo){
photo_mc._alpha = 0;
this.loadMovie(photo);
_level0.onEnterFrame = function(){
// modified the total and loaded so as to round it up
// to smaller number.
var total = Math.round(photo_mc.getBytesTotal()/1024);
var loaded = Math.round(photo_mc.getBytesLoaded()/1024);
if (total != 0 && loaded>=total){
var w = photo_mc._width + space;
var h = photo_mc._height + space;
border.resize(w, h);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.resize = function(w, h){
//the higher the slower the resize of the border
var speed = 6;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._width += (w - this._width)/speed;
this._height += (h - this._height)/speed;
if( Math.abs(this._width-w)<1 && Math.abs(this._height-h)<1){
this._width = w;
this._height = h;
photo_mc._x = this._x - this._width/2 + space/2;
photo_mc._y = this._y - this._height/2 + space/2;
photo_mc.alphaTo (100, 0.5, "linear")
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
image_mc.onLoad = setInterval( nextImage, 7*1000 )
;

SWF Resize On Browser Resize Causes Nav Buttons To No Longer Work.
Hello. I have a full browser width/height resizing swf. I can't figure out why, but the navigation rollover states no longer work after resizing the browser. My rollovers are handled by a button class linked to each nav button movie clip within the library. Other things of note. I am using the 3 frame AS3 preloading technique which holds all my assets in its own movie clip on frame 3.

My document class only really handles preloading. And a class for all my assets, acting as the "real" doc class is linked to that MC on frame 3.

Here is the URL to the problem:

Thanks in advance.

On Stage Resize, Resize Multiple Copies Of An Object Help
Hey everyone, I'm having some troubles figuring out the code for this. I have 12 button objects that are being created evenly across the stage, and I would like to have them resize on a stage resize event.

Here is my code so far:

Code:

//--------------------------------------
// CONSTRUCTOR
//--------------------------------------
public function BasicFullScreen(){

initVideo();
createButtons();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);

}

//Create Buttons
private function createButtons():void{

for(i==0;i<12;i++){
//trace(i);
button = new MovieClip();
button.graphics.beginFill(000000);
button.graphics.drawRect(0,0,(stage.stageWidth/30),(stage.stageHeight));
button.graphics.endFill();
button.x = (stage.stageWidth/12)*i+(stage.stageWidth/40);
button.y = 0;
button.alpha = .5;
addChild(button);

}

}

private function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
//What to put in here?
}
I'm not sure what to put in the resizeHandler function to resize all the button objects.

Thanks for any help,

Matt

Resize Bg On Browser Resize While Maintaining Image Proporti
im using the following code to resize background images on browser resize:

Code:

var listener:Object = new Object()

bg_mc.width = Stage.width;
bg_mc.height = Stage.height;

listener.onResize = function(){

bg_mc.width = Stage.width;
bg_mc.height = Stage.height;

}
Stage.addListener(listener);

the problem i'm having is that my background image does not maintain proportion on resize. so, when i resize my browser to a width of 100px, the entire width of my background image is compressed into the 100px area.

is there some additional code i can add to the snippet above to maintain the proportions of my background image on resize?

thanks,
brandon

How Can You Resize A Stage And Have Flash Resize The Objects As Well?
Is there any way you can resize your stage in Flash and either have it keep the objects all cenetered or have it compensate for the objects and adjust them accordingly?

This tends to be a problem when I start a new file and then forget I want the stage to be much bigger.

Any help is appreciated...

Help Me Its Possible Way I Can Resize My Swf? Its 14mb, I Want To Resize To 5mb
I created a series of animation of pics with backgound music on it. It has also
buttons which they could change the background music. It works well but it was 14 mb,
The purpose of this animation was to embed it to my webpage. Uploading it to my site is already a pain in the ***, but my concern is for the viewer that they could easily view this animation of mine.

Now my question is. Can I possibly resize my swf considering its 14 MB, resizing it to atleast 5 MB without changing the quality? Help me masters, coz I'm still a newbie in flash

Stop Resize In A RESIZE
hey...there's a open source running around somewhere...
with a resize setup for loading a JPG into a empty MC...
and there's a border that resizes to that image once it's loaded..
it's even tweened to scale smoothly... (below)

problem 1:
it's a bit hefty for the eye... but it works sweet...
but i'd like to manage to work some Zigo tweens into it...
i was wondering if anyone has the super powers to
figure out how to recode it so the resizing is done through
those easing classes and tween and them through fuse...
problem 2:
i modded the resize... inside the border...this little crop box i created...
i added movie clips that are looping through a doTween setup...
so instead of lines defining the border (which will be resized according to which jpg or png is loaded) ... i have movie clips running up and down each of the total 4 sides...

but when they resize....it stretchs the in a very ugly way...
it's like in design class when the type teacher said...
don't stretch the type...i was reaffirmed why...cuz it looks like crap.

is there a way to resize a movie clip...
and have the movie clips running inside that movie clip stay constrained? ; to remove unproportional scaling?

Code:

spacing = 50;
containerMC._alpha = 0;

MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic){
_root.containerMC._alpha = 0;
this.loadMovie(pic);
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
   var t = containerMC.getBytesTotal(), l = containerMC.getBytesLoaded();
   if (t != 0 && Math.round(l/t) == 1){
      var w = containerMC._width + spacing, h = containerMC._height + spacing;
      border.resizeMe(w, h);
      delete _root.onEnterFrame;
   }
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.resizeMe = function(w, h){
var speed = 5;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
   this._width += (w - this._width)/speed;
   this._height += (h - this._height)/speed;
   if( Math.abs(this._width-w)<1){
      this._width = w;
      this._height = h;
      _root.containerMC._x = this._x - this._width/2 + spacing/2;
      _root.containerMC._y = this._y - this._height/2 + spacing/2;
      _root.containerMC._alpha = 100;
      delete this.onEnterFrame;
   }
}
};

can someone take a crack at this? it's giving me allergies...
thanks in advance!

Resolution
I need to change the screen resolution when my flash movie runs inside the flash player. Is it possible to change the resolution of the screen within flash using maybe some ActionScripting. thanx.

Resolution
i have done websites suitable for 800X600
resolution. It appears very small in bigger
monitors. If we are creating projectors they
get adjusted according to the monitor resolutions.
(fscommand).

But is there any way to adjust the size of
the swf file depends on the monitor resolution.
Please help me somebody.

VCD For DVD Resolution
Hi!
Does anyone know what the resolution is for viewing your flash movies on a TV? I found out that you can export your fla's as AVI's(you can also export them as .mov files) and burn'em on a CD-ROM as a VCD and actually watch your own animations on your very own TV! Neat. But, the Acrobat reader file that comes with the burner tells you that you should use these resolutions: 352x240 or 352x288(widescreen maybe?). I tried that, but the result is half the animation on the left and half on the right or most of the animation centered and 10-20% in either sides. I tried different resolutions and the only one, so far, that seems to work is very low: 225x200! And when you've spend half your life making two sticks kill each other, in very gastly ways, you pretty much prefer as much quality as possible. If anyone has any experience in this field PLEEEEAAAASE let me know. Oh, and for those who'd like to try themselves. A piece of advice. Don't even make a single movie clip in your animation. The VCD can't really care about scripts or pre-animated MC's. You've got to animate the hole thing frame by frame(just like in the ol' days)
Another piece of advice: Be nice. Don't be an ass- (with sugar on top) Just a reminder. And don't eat one of those either if you should come across one Taste like ssss.....sugarcoated ass-doughnuts?!? okay I'm bored.

Resolution?
Hi!

I'd like to know what's the right resolution for a site, designed in Flash. I found out, that if I choose to develop in 1024x768 on my 19" monitor, someone with a 15" running the same resolution can't read the text on the page because it's too tiny.

Of course I could develop the page for a 15" monitor, but It would be to big for 19" then.

I guess, the only way to do this is to design for both resolutions. That wouldn't be easy and what's with the guys running 800x600 on a 17" or 15"?

Is there a tutorial about this? I'd also like to give the window a width and height which is not fixed like %. But this makes things even more confusing.

Please help

Resolution Help
Hi!

I would like to know if it is possible to export a flash movie so it fits every resolution? I made a flash movie in a rather strange format, about 1100 x 700 pixel and now it doesn't fit exactly on a 1024 x 768 resolution. How can I fix it, so it would fit on a 800 x 600 resolution too?

Please help

What Is The Most Used Resolution?
Just wondering right now if I should change my flash site, I just tried it on a lower resolution setting and it really looked different! What is the resolution you guys see most when using computers... is it 800x600 or 1024x768 ? Does 800x600 on a 15" monitor looks like 1024x768 on a 17" monitor?

thanx

What Resolution To Use?
Hi everybody,
As some of you know, I am creating a training CD for a medical company. My question is, if you were creating this CD Rom, what resolution would you keep in mind, while creating it? I see here that the company who quotes this job was going to create it to be viewed on1024X 768. Is that the standard these days?

Can I create a action script that will automatically change the viewers monitor resolution? Or should I just have text there stating: "this CD should be viewed on a 1024X 768 resolution. Remember, this is going to be viewed in primarly Windows.

I see that the Mac monitors gives the viewers a "stretch" option. I guess that is for the new type of Mac monitors. Does PCs have the same?

What resolution would I be safest in?

Thanks
