Scalable Swf Files In A Window Browser
I 'm sure I saw somewhere a thread talking about scaling movies... or something along those lines....
Well I don't know if this is possible, but is there anyway of creating an swf file which, when published as a website (or new window to a website) scales with the window (when you drag the corner or maximise).
I am designing a site which is purely flash (not a good idea, but we're working on the html side) http://www.manchesterprinting.com
When the window is small (or viewed on a small monitor) some of the page is hidden and you have to use the scroll bars.
So going back to my question, can I make the file scalable?
All feedback would be good, even if it's "don't be ridiculous", or "it needs to be done in html". I'm about to undertake a proper website and html course, but at the moment just winging it.

I am attempting to have a scalable window. I found a demo on this site and have modified it. Unfortunately. The scalability and the button that does it are not coinciding and weird things are happening? Any of you smarter people think that you can help. Or do you have code for doing this in a better way. HELP PLEASE!

Linking .Projector Files Hangs Browser Window - Expert Please Help
Here's my problem (well, one of them at least =):
I'm trying to link five .Projector files to run in a continuos loop. Depending on the Mac, they will link successfully, but after playing about 3 or 4 of them, at the end of one (not always the same one), a blank browser window will hang saying it's retreiving data from the file that just played.
Each file starts with an FS command to make it fullscale:
fscommand ("allowscale", "false");
fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");
And then a loader which works fine on it's own:
ifFrameLoaded (_totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay (3);
}

Scalable Window Panes
I have a gallery of 3 images I want to scale once you click on one of the window panes.
look at the image I've linked here.
The basic concept is if you click one..it scales up and the others scale and move around it.
Scalingschemes.jpg
I've been trying to use a Fuse object inside of a function call and just pass the Fuse certain variables depending on which window pane I click on.
Its not working all that well at the moment. Some hints would be helpful.

[F8] Scalable Window Component Going Weird
Hi there,
I am having a window component, couple of radio btns in my fla (they r coming thru actionscript). On the click of a radiobtn its corresponding img gets displayed in the window. Now, i have made the window scalable thru this code:
sizerPop = new Object();
sizerPop.handleEvent = function(img){
if(img.type == "complete"){
myTW.setSize(myTW.content._width, myTW.content._height +25);
}
}
myTW.addEventListener("complete", sizerPop);
where, myTW is:
myTW = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, mx.containers.Window, false, {closeButton: true, title: _root.reqmessage1, _x: 270, _y: 40, color: 16711680,contentPath:radioButtonArray[_loc2].object.bkimage});
myTW.title = "Radio Button Clicked is:"+radioButtonArray[_loc2].object.label;
All this is working fine locally. But, once i upload it the window scales itself to fit the image but the close btn which is by default on the right hand side goes to the left.
But, i'm more baffled by the fact that this problem occurs randomly. Suppose for the first time on the click of a btn the close btn will shift and maybe for the 2nd,3rd or 4th time it won't or maybe will go wrong always or not at all. Why is this?

Scalable Window With Dynamic Content...
I only post here for help after I've done a thorough search of the net for tutorials and/or .fla files. And believe me, with this one, I've looked, booked, read 'til I bled, tried and cried...
I have made a site that has little pop-up type windows in it. At the moment I have a simple drag'n'drop action on a button across the top, minimise/maximise and close buttons (top right). I also have a scrollable dynamic text field, which fits the window perfectly.
BUT!
Now the mate I'm making the site for, wants the windows to be scalable. And I've found tutorials that have that sort of thing, but the closest ones, scale the content aswell.
Are there any helpful people out there that can point me in the right direction? I guess the window will end up needing a scrollbar down the right side to accomodate the wrap effect. And yes, I have searched high and low through the ActionScript.org movies, tutorials and this forum.
Thank you very very much in advance for any generous souls who take the time to help a frustrated Flasher out.

Scalable Dynamic JPEG On Full Browser Flash Site
Ok ... I'm going out of my head here. I've found a lot of posts in the forums here that have come oh so close to answering my question but just not quite.
I've got a full browser flash movie I'm creating. I've got a movie that scales out to 100% x 100% which has a dynamically loading JPEG for a background image and another empty movie clip that loads in the main content.
Here's my ActionScript:
ActionScript Code:
stop();loadMovie("dh_main.swf","mainContent_mc");loadMovie("background.jpg","background");Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";stageListener.onResize = function () { var stageXCenter = Stage.width * .5; var stageYCenter = Stage.height * .5;}
I want the background image to scale 100% x 100% and resize with the mainContent_mc when the window is resized.
I just cannot get that background JPEG to stretch to save my life.
Any ideas?

Scalable/Tileable Background When Resizing Window
Hi, I've seen quite a few websites programmed in a way that when you resize the window, the main section of the site is centred while the background scales or tiles itself. Is this a tricky thing to do? Have a look at what I'm trying to do here please:
http://www.heiseman.com/temp/demo.html
I'd like for the background to tile itself and a black vignette to scale itself as the window is resized.
Any help would be great!
Thank you.

Non-scalable Inside Of Scalable? Best Practices...
I'm looking for a simple technical explanation of how this is done...
If I have a scalable movie that uses the entire browser window (100%,100%), but I'd like to make the contents non-scalable (so the content can't be scaled down, etc). I'd also like ot know how to set the interior stage to be either centered upon the stage or anchored at 0x,0y in the interior stage...
I'm just guessing that I create a movie clip as a kind of secondary stage and then run everything through that? Or, is there something more simple I'm not thinking of here?
If there's a tutorial or the like that would be great...
Thanks, v

Pausing After Preload If Browser Window Is Not Active Window
Hi folks,
I'm trying to figure out how to do this, but so far I have had no success. The intention is for anything like a Flash trailer, intro movie or such like which is large to preload and once this is done check to see if the user is still viewing that browser window.
So if during the preloading the user opens/selects a different window and the preloading finishes then the Flash will go to a paused screen, awaiting the user to indicate they want to proceed (eg a play button). If however the user still has, or has returned to, the browser window it will skip the pause screen and play the animation.
For an example the 9th chapter of Ninjai.com seems to do this (I haven't checked the other chapters).
Any help would be appreciated.

Loading External SWF's Into A New Flash Window Instead Of A Browser Window?
I have this flash presentation where I have buttons when clicked on, a (_blank) browser window pops-up and begins playing external SWF's.
The problem is that, with windows XP, every time I click the button(s) to have the browser window pop-up, to play my externals, the damn 'virus protection notification' thing pops-up first, asking me if this content is allowed. Is there a way to turn this off? My client does not want to have to "allow" the browser to play the external SWF's everytime. I've tried everything but no luck.
Better yet, is there a way to have the external SWF's pop-up in a totally new flash window, on top of the main (presentation) window? I don't want the external SWF's playing in the same window, but rather show in a new window entirely. Can anyone help me? This project is past-due and it needs to go out today. I'll attach the current scripting I'm using so far, if it helps. Thanks so much!
bottingsAd_mc.onRelease = function() {
getURL("exampleAds/bottingsports2_001.swf", "_blank");
};

// currently I'm in home.html I like to getURL("../main/contact.html")
that loads the contact.html and the contact.html contains the home.swf but I like to proceed to the gotoAndStop("Scene",1) or gotoAndStop("contact",1)

Which made it work the only thing is it pop up including the browser menu at the top - does anyone know how i can get rid of this?

Not Scalable Content Inside Of A Scalable Content?
Hello Everyone,
I am having a hard time trying to figure out if this is even possible. I have a fla file which has a large vector image represented as a background in the application. I also have another movieclip that sits on top of it that contains a bunch of images.
My issue is as follows: is it possible to have an expandable background.. as it is vector in this case and will not degrade and have a movieclip inside that does not scale? I would like that movie clip to be at all times either 800 x 600 or 200 x 150 and "attached" to the bottom right corner.
Everything i have attempted thus far has not worked... it seems that the movieclips are not really aware of the fact that they are being scaled... only the stage does.
Is there a solution to this problem?

More Than One Browser Pop-up Window?
I'm having problems. I'm using the script below in GetURL to open a window with a QT.mov. It works fine, until I try and open another QT.mov with different size parameters--it instead places the new movie in
the same window that was opened before. The problem being that if you open the small movie first (and don't close it before opening the bigger one) the bigger movie appears in the smaller sized window,
thus cropping it and irritating me to no end. Any advice is much appreciated.
Here's the java I'm using:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('bg_reel_lbw.mo v','newWin','width=202,height=168,left=500,top=200 toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,res izable=No,fullscreen=No,menu=No,directories=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}
thanks for any help. it's desperatly needed.

Hey everyone,
I am currently developing a site in FLASH MX. The site is for a recreation dept. and I need a way for the users to print out a registration form. I feel the best way to do this is the have a pop-up browser window from a button. I have searched this forum for a couple of days now and have been unsuccessful in finding a script that works. I know the reg. form needs to be an HTML file and in the same folder as my SWF and FLA. However, I still cannot get it to work. All Ive gotten is a blank pop up window that says [Object, but no HTML file. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
