Flash :: White Space Before Swf

Why The White Space?
I'm progressing gradually!!

Still have the silly questions though

Here's another,
I have added a preloader to enter my site. This brings you to the navigation and a holder background. On clicking any of the nav buttons it loads in the background to the section in a new layer with another preloader.

My question is that when I'm previewing it online, before each of the preloaders show theres a massive wait of nothingness (white screen)

Why would this be, do you need me to post exactly whats going on in my frames?

Hears a link to the work in progress, only the home button is active.

White Space
I made an image that's supposed to be 350 x 100 and when I go to make it my signature on a certain forum it seems as though it shrinks to the size of a flash ad banner and gains white space on the sides. How can I fix this?

White Space
Hello,

When I load my flash page I get a split second of a white square (the size of the swf against the black BG color). How do I prevent this from occurring?

Thank you.

Too Much White Space
I would like to fined a simple way to pre format text files be for they are loaded in to a swf file.

First what is the simplest way to load a text file in to flash? Via which way, .txt, .xml or html? ideally I would like to use a txt file and just have it so simple as

Code:
hello
I'm text, text text text text text
text text text text text text text

text text text text text e
tetet tee

but insead I get

Code:
hello

I'm text, text text text text text

text text text text text text text

text text text text text e

tetet tee

now I know it has to do with white space and hinden characters
I'v tryed _txt.condenseWhite = true; but then I get

Code:
helloI'm text, text text text text texttext text text text text text texttext text text text text etetet tee

with no format at all. I realy dont want to format everything in html <br>

Any help would be great.

Too Much White Space At The Top?
Okay..I am *gulp* trying my hand at developing my first flash site. I am using Cs3

Heres the thing...when I upload it to my server, and publish it...there is too much white space at the top. Do I have to go in each and every button and reposition everything...I cannot imagine starting from scratch and doing it all over again.

Its there a much more user friendly way where I can just grab everything and scoot it to the top?

Please explain what I need to do in very simple terms..I want to make sure I learn it for next time!

Thank you very much!

White Space In Timeline
I'm working on my first flash animation and all was going well till I tried to add another movie clip to my timeline. (I'm using Flash 8 if that makes any difference.)

My animation starts out with a movieclip as the forground of the animation (on its own layer), and another movieclip contains my actor, which sits on a layer below the forground movieclip.

At around frame 60 I have another movieclip placed on the root timeline. I have a keyframe with mc1 in frame 59 and a keyframe for mc2 in frame 60.

When I move along the root timeline in Flash the transition looks like it should, but when I go to test the movie there's a big blank space, where mc1 disappears completely and mc2 hasn't appeared yet (mc2 should appear in the same place as mc1 on the stage.)

I thought perhaps this was a problem with my framerate or something, so I tried dropping mc2 onto its own layer and created a keyframe in frame 55, so from frame 55-59 both movieclips should appear on the stage and overlap.

They do when I scroll through the root timeline in Flash, but when I test the movie I have the exact same problem as before.

I'm kind of at a loss as to what is happening here, though I imagine it's probably something really simple that I'm overlooking.

I hope I've described the problem accurately. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Xml Is Not Ignoring White Space
I'm open to an alternative for what I need to do, but here is the current problem:

I need to get a dynamic xml file. Because the url query is so long, I can not use GET like so foo.php?cat=hello world. Therefore the only way (that I know of please correct me if I am wrong and this will be a lot easier) to send values to a dynamic xml page to use use LoadVars like this:

ActionScript Code:
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.search = words;
lv.onData = function(info)
{
xml = new XML(info);
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
trace( xml.firstChild.nextSibling );
}
lv.sendAndLoad(host+"search.php", lv, "POST");

where I am POSTing the data to the php page and then passing the results from LoadVars to an XML object.

The problem is the xml oject is not ignoring the white space.

When I trace the xml it looks like this:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<matches>
<cue id="5">
<url>cueFolder/DarkenedDreams.mp3</url>
<name>Darkened Dreams</name>
<composer>Ron</composer>
<time>76199</time>
<description>I am Batman</description>
</cue>

<cue id="9">
<url>cueFolder/IndustrialWaste.mp3</url>
<name>IndustrialWaste</name>
<composer>Ron</composer>
<time>79778</time>
<description />
</cue>
......
From the traces

Code:
xml.firstChild =

xml.firstChild.nextSibling = <matches>
<cue id="5">
........
So obviously the white space is not being ignored. The only thing I can think of to do is strip all line breaks before I feed it to the XML object. I don't want to do this, but if I must I will.

White Space Around Movie
I have a movie that I enlarged from the standard 550 x 400 stage to
996x609 In the properties of the movie file in Dreamweaver.
However, when I view it in IE I have a 200+ pixel border down
the right and the left side of the movie.
Viewed here: http://www.testbeddesigns.com/runinthesun.html
my question is simple enough, how do I remove all the white space?
If view my source you'll see that all I have is a <div> tag with the movie in it with the width and height set to fill the
browser.
Ultimately what I would like to do is to play the movie in the browser window so that it will size to any window size the
way it is done here: rheacom.com
No matter what resolution you set the window at, or how you resize the window manually using the mouse,
it always looks the same
Thank You

White Space When Loading. How Do I Fix It?
Hi fellow Flashers.

How do I get rid of the white space that appears as soon as you hit enter after entering the URL to my website. The white space is where the .swf movie goes. It's the big white square you see when you first go to my website, before the loading bar appears. The white box does not stay up for long, but it still looks unprofessional. Other websites don't have it. Is there some sort of action script or CSS that gets rid of it?

I have a table that holds the .swf. I have the table set with a black background. The .swf also has a black background.

I hope you guys see what I'm talking about. Please help.

Much thanks in advance.

White Space In Dynamic Text Box
I need some advice on dealing with white space in dynamic text.

I have a text box that is being created and filled via actionscripting. I'm filling it with a simple .txt file like this:
body=here is some text.

The text is not HTML and it's not escaped.

The box is narrow (25-30 characters) and the text usually winds up being eight or ten lines deep. When the text flows in, I get a space at the beginning of some lines. It apears to happen when the space won't fit on the line above. I really want my left edge to be squeeky clean here. I'm sure there is a simple solution, but condenseWhite didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance...

HtmlText Not Ignoring White Space
my code to dynamically load the text should be fine:

ActionScript Code:
var myQuotes:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myQuotes.load("text/quotes.txt");
myQuotes.onLoad = function() {
scenes_mc.press_mc.quotes_txt.html = true;
scenes_mc.press_mc.quotes_txt.htmlText = myQuotes.quotes;
};
the weird thing is in one text field i use this text and the extra white space is ignored:

Code:
&links=<a href="http://www.blabla.com">blabla</a>
<br><a href="http://www.blabla.com">blabla</a>

<br><a href="http://www.blabla.com">blabla</a>
<br><a href="http://www.blabla.com">blabla</a>
But in another dynamically loaded text file it does NOT:

Code:
&quotes=<b>Hercules, a disconcerting phenomenon of the monsters.

Hello there</b>
In this one, the white space is a part of the output--what the viewer see. But before it was ignored by flash. I looked through many of the htmlText questions in here, the most of them was problems with not setting html=true; which isn't my problem.

As always, Thanks for the help.

White Space Behind Loading Animation
I have a DW doc, with Black background color set in page properties.

I have a table with text and a sfw. When the page opens in browser, as the animation loads there is a big white hole in the swf space. I've tried blacking the table in the background color and even made a black png for the table to link to. The ghastly white hole still remains.

Know of any fixes?

How Do I Crop White Space Around Button
Hi! Can someone please help me. I published a button, but can't seem to get rid of the white space around it so that I can eventually place other published buttons next to this one. I am able to minimize the width, but on the bottom of the button there is still white space left. Also if I decrease the heigth then the whole button minimizes itself. How can I crop the white space around the button so that the button will maintaine its original size? I even tried putting the $sa or $sc ,which is I believe supposed to crop at least 3 sides of the button, into my html tag,but I am not sure if I put it into the right spot because it did not make a difference.

Font Name With White Space, Flash Bugs ?
Hi there,

I try to do the following:
I have a css file including:

lBody {
display: inline;
font-family: my font;
font-size: 13px;
text-align: left;
}

I have on my stage a textField with embed options turn on for example for Latin 1 + no anti alias (Bitmaptext).
the font is: "my font"

I use tags in an xml to assign this style to my text: <lBody>myText</lBody>

I won't use font symbols in my situation.

My problem is the following: the typography's name I need to use includes a white space: my<whitespace>font

Flash seems to have difficulties to interpret this name with a whitespace and make matching the one in CSS with the one put in Flash GUI.
If I test it with a font name without white space, it works great.

How should I write in the CSS file the font name to make Flash understand it? which character to use instead the whitespace?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Iliminate White Space HTML Embedding
checked out your tutorial at http://www.actionscript.org/tutorial...ol/index.shtml

showing you how you can fit a flash movie to fit a window size in one direction and fixed in another.

For example if you had a 1000x400 swf.file you could in the HTML set the width to 100% and keep the height fixed at 400px, whilst keeping the scale correct.

This is great however you get two white spaces either at the top and bottom or left and right depending on the size of the window at the time. That's fine if the html body background is white as everyone is none the wiser. But looks bad if the background is black for example. I think you get the same problem if you have both width and height set to 100%.

Is there a way to iliminate these white spaces or change them to another colour? I think I've tried most methods, changing all the bg colors, inserting the movie in a table, frame etc. but to no success.

Does anyone have a solution. Thank you in advance!

AS 2 Loading Text In Dynamic Box Help (the White Space) ? ? ?
Hello everyone,

I am trying to find a bug that comes from flash when i load text from external txt file.
Let`s say that in the text file i have this line "Hello World", in flash using LoadVars it will load and show the message as it is "Hello World".

But what happens if the text is like this with 2 lines?
"Hello
World"

In flash it will load and it will show the text as this
"Hello

World"

You notice that it will put an empty line for every new line in the text file.

How can i avoid that?
I have tried to emmbed the characters and also i made many changes but none of them came to work and show the message without the unnecesary empty line.

If anyone knows how to make it work as i need i would appreciate the help

Text String - Input Field - White Space
Hello

Question:

can flash recoqnize white space in a text string?

For example: If an input field was to collect words in a sentence and pass them to an array or individual variables. Basically would it be possible to take a sentence that has been inputed and seperate each word. Flash would have to recognize the white space inbetween each word and seperate it from there.

I not asking for an example although it would be nice just a answer if it is possible or not with ActionScript then I can try and figure it out from there.

Thanks

text is wrapping fine

PS meanwhile I found a solution. The application used to create a text file seems to impact how Flash handles the text. If I use TextEdit on a Mac the non-wrapping problem occurs. If I use MS Word the same, except when I save the word file as an MS-DOS text file my problems are solved but not entirely, new anomalies arise. Which application do you use for creating text files.

I also tried putting the text inside the index.html page using "param name=FlashVars value=some text" but Flash is still not wrapping words correctly so I can only assume it is a bug and not a feature. I suspect if a character does not 'touch' the borders of a text field Flash does not detect the end of a word to apply wrapping.

[F8] Put Color Or Picture In White Space While Flash Loads?
Hi
I have a Flash that I use as a menu on my site. My problem is that while it's loading the space in the html where the flash is is white. Can you put a picture there while the flash loads or atleast a color?
Thanks

(the flash file is very small so no preloader is necessary and the white shows only for a second mostly while surfing to the site.)

How Can I Crop An Image With Out Having White Space In The Final Product
I am trying to create a crop component or Class so that I could use a live video feed to create an ID Card Picture application.

For example> I have a live video feed(Camera) with a rectangle shape on top of the video feed, so that the user can drag the rectangle around the live video and select what he would want to be in the preview window.

The problem is this: The rectangle tool creates a white space around the top and left side of the preview window(which is a bitmap). In other words the rectangle is only acting as a mask of the orginal video.

For example> Original video/camera feed has width:320 and height:240. I then use the draw method with a rectangle element as a paramenter. The rectangle has coodinates of (x:20,y:20,width:50,height:50). So yeah that seemed to work fine. But actually it only creates a masked image of the original video. In other words 0 to 20 pixels at the top of the preview bitmap is white an the 0 to 20th pixel on the left side of the priview windows is also white......So I essentially just created a masked image. What I actually want the draw tool to do is to have the rectangle area be a cropping tool. The final bitmap would have a width and height of 50. I could then stretch out the bitmap and have it appeared to of zoomed the image.

What is up with the whitespace?
===============================
AS3 code reference
var myRectangle:Rectangle= new Rectangle(30,30,150,150)
// render the player as a bitmapdata
myBitmapSource.draw ( myVideo,null,null,null,myRectangle,false );
=======================================I am also starting to investigate the transform methods, maybe I need to transform the original feed somehow. I aslo saw a read only property named PixelBounds?

Any help would be appreciated:
