Full Browser Flash with Easing
i would like to know how to create full browser flash which
moves back in place relative to the resize of a browser window. i
can not seem to find any writing on this subject.
If you have a lot of elements you are resizing, it may become
worthwhile to look into using a layout helper class to do this
stuff for you:
http://senocular.com/flash/actionscript.php?file=ActionScript_3.0/com/senocular/display/La yout.as
http://abeall.com/files/flash/tests/ActionScript3/Layout.as
http://abeall.com/files/flash/tests/ActionScript3/layout.fla
But it's important to understand how the resizing works. What
both these solutions (above) do is exactly what Jamesabth
described, but it calculates the positions for you.

Full browser flash scalable slideshow
Hi All,
I'm interested in making a full browser, scalable slideshow. I have found tutorials on how to create a full-browswer background with a tiled image, and also how to create a full browser background with a movie that runs in the center of the browswer, but does not scale.
I have seen this done here, for example, at this very beautifl website: http://mslandarchitects.com/# This is what we're aiming for.
I know this can be done with javascript, and I have a version of this done for the iphone/ipad... however, I work for a design firm and we need some easier editable schnazzy effects that flash can offer for those who are visiting our website on any device that is non-iphone/ipad.
Can anyone reccomend a tutorial that addresses this particular topic?
Thanks!Hi There (Again)
Thanks again for referring me to this site...
I'm having some issues implementing the swf fit. When I use the following code, The swf does not fill up the full browswer window when the window is at its maximum size. I get white space on the left and right that will disaspeer as I shrink the window. I would like the swf to take up the full window, regardless of the size. Would anyone mind taking a peak and the code I'm implementing? See if there is anything glaringly wrong?

Full Browser Flash that Validates in XHTML
I would like to have a full-browser flash intro page and have found how to make that happen by using the publish settings in Flash; however, the code it generates includes deprecated elements (such as <embed>) and does not work at all when I try to add alternate content for SEO purposes or change the DOCTYPE. Where can I find how to change the code so that it still works as advertised as an XHTML 1.0 Transitional (or better yet, Strict)?
I'm working with AS3, by the way, if that makes any difference whatsoever...you will have to change the scalemode of the flash movie.

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
If you are using AS3:
// assuming mcStage is a Stage object
mcStage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; -
Full Browser Flash in firefox help
Hello.
first I'd like to say beforehand that i'm just an average
timeline flash designer. not really deep into programming. and
doesn't know any programming languages except PHP on an advanced
level nothing more nothing less. I mean, I only use javascript via
copy paste from a site that gives codes. so here's my question:
I have made a full browser flash site, or so it was called
(is that official? FBF?) my problem is, it doesn't work in firefox,
i tried googling, it resulted to change the doctype to an older
one, I did that, no progresss, delete the doctype enrtirely, did it
too, still no progress. And, found some site that let's you insert
css:
<style type="text/css">
HTML, BODY {height: 100%; width: 100%}
</style>
did it too but still no flaah in firefox. and oh, I have the
plug-ins installed just fine. here's my html code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
lines 1, 2, amd 3,
and then to the flash part.:
<body>
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

It works ok in IE and btw, I only know how to make a full
browser flash by changing the size in the code from width="x" to
width="100%" and height="x" to height="100%" basically, I just set
any dimension i see in 100%. but of course I already created the
flash movie size that extends to 1280 x 1024.
can you help me please? I hope I enough info so you may
tackle wherever I've gone wrong. Thanks!Any chance your video card might have "video" related settings that might be interfering? While I'm not suggesting that you switch browsers, trying to reproduce this on another browser will give us a datapoint to see if this is firefox specific. I would recommend giving both IE or Chrome a try to see if it still occurs.

Hey guys,
I need to make my site full browser flash because when a
portfolio element is clicked in its menu, a black overlay fades in
and a project swf is called. Simple enough, but of course the
overlay needs to fill the user's window otherwise it will look
disjointed.
When I publish to full browser flash I have set the
dimensions to 100% and got rid of the margins. The only problem is
that the image and pixel text is distorted because they aren't at
their proper size! Is there a certain size I should build to?
I had one idea that I could have a flat colour background
that uses the stage class to scale it's size whilst the content
stays the same size, the black overlay would use the scale class to
define it's size too.
Would this work? I would obviously need to make sure that the
central site stays central.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Samyou will have to change the scalemode of the flash movie.

Full browser Flash stop resize?
I have built full browser Flash sites like
www.agilitygraphics.com and
there is one thing I don't like about them. I would like to
be able to
have a minimum size, at which the browser would add the
scroll bars
back. If you look at the site above, it resizes really small
but never
give the viewer a scroll bar. The file is 800px by 600 px,
but you can
resize way smaller and never get a scroll bar. Is there a
way, where I
can add something to the file, where its like: if browser
window is
smaller then 800 x 600 add scrollbar to browser? So like a
minimun size?
Like a conditional to the embed?
Thanks for the help!
Brianwww.truecompassion.org
If the document size is greater that (I forgot what), then it
loads the
flash as 100%,100% (and the flash does internal resizing and
placements), if
not, I load a fixed size flash.

Full browser flash site - bg images are pixelating
I have my swf publishing at 100% width and height and set it to scale with the browser. The background image was a psd designed at a height of 680 px. When I check on larger monitors the background images pixelates. Is the only way to fix this is to redesign the psd at a higher resolution? What would I need to do to make sure the artwork doesn't pixelate no matter what size monitor is being viewed on. Thank you?
Anytime you enlarge an image from its true size you risk visible pixelation. The images would need to be sufficiently large to handle any resolution.

Full Browser in AS3 - Error #1009
Please Help...
I'm learning AS3 and Flash CS4 right now and I'm trying to do what I have been doing in AS2 for years and I'm having some problems. I'm trying to make a Full-Browser Flash site and upon resizing the screen I get an error #1009.
I am able to to resize the mc's on the screen without a problem, but once I add simple interactivity, I get an error upon resizing the window.
To duplicate this problem,
1. Test the movie
2. Click on either circle
3. Then click on the opposite circle.
4. Then either resize or maximize the window and you will see the "Output window" with the Error #1009
I'm sure I'm doing something very stupid, but I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Here's a link to the fla file: http://plusonedesigngroup.com/test/nosaletest.fla
Please Help!
Thanks in advance,
Mike.doghouse.
Yes, I was able to download your file and Thank You for trying to help. The problem for me is I have no idea where to begin with your file... There are 35 ".as" files controlling this movie and I'm very new to AS3.
Isn't there a simple way to control the timeline of a flash movie while using the full browser?
Thanks,
Mike. -
Hi Guys
I found a method of filling the full browser window, with
footer always at bottom, that I used here:
www.tragicallyunhip.net
The method works a treat, but I wasn't happy with that design
so I tried out something new here:
www.tragicallyunhip.net/temp
And here I added a little extra, wanting to have the gradient
on top and bottom like I do.
If you view it in IE7 all is well. In FF, not so much. I
added two divs around the table which fills the screen, and this is
the issue. In FF it isn't filling the screen, despite the fact that
the two DIVS (one to house the top half's background image, the
other to house the bottom half's) are wrapping around a table
which, when left alone like in the first example, fills width and
height perfectly.
I am hoping there is a fix for this.... I like this idea and
would love to have it work out. I tried having the bottom
background fill a footer cell in the table (like the footer in the
first example) instead of a wrapper DIV, and while it fills the
screen, I can't then get it to go behind the main content like I
want to.
AndyI might have fixed it...
http://www.tragicallyunhip.net/temp/index2.html
Can someone tell me how ohrribly broken this is in IE6, if at
all? Or any other issues.
Thanks

Maintaining proportions with full screen flash
hi, I have a flash site set up that allows a mc in the
background containing various images to always take up the full
browser window while the foreground elements remain unchanged. What
I would like to do is keep the background images from distorting
when the window is resized...a good example of this is on
redtettemer.com - it maintains proportions and just cuts off at the
bottom or side if it would cause any distortion.
this is the current code I have on frame 1:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
var stageListener:Object = new Object ();
stageListener.onResize = positionContent;
Stage.addListener(stageListener);
function positionContent():Void {
portfolio_bg._width = Stage.width;
portfolio_bg._height = Stage.height;
positionContent();
can anyone help with this?

No, like cberube said, the graphics aren't corrupt/garbled at all.
The frame rate of the flash video when full screened is the problem here. It has to be something related to OSX and the Adobe Flash player built into the browser. I tried this in both Safari and Firefox to isolate the browser as a variable in the problem.
No matter the quality of the flash vid (it could be an HD TV show from hulu, or it could be some crappy youtube vid) the frame rate will drop massively if you select full screen, but return to normal "smooth" rate when you exit full screen. The only way to fix this is to uncheck "Enable Hardware acceleration" by right clicking on the flash video and entering the flash player settings within the browser.
This is only a work-around as unchecking hardware acceleration means your CPU must now work harder to render the graphics since it seems the OSX on-board graphics unit isn't capable of handling it. Normally, if this happened, OSX would activate the NVIDIA gpu which should be more than capable of rendering a full screen flash video without breaking a sweat. This doesn't seem to be occurring though.
Hopefully this is a clearer description of the problem. -

I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?
Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

Help:How to publish a Flash with full screen HTML
Please, guys, be kind enough to teach me how to publish a
Flash with full screen size in HTML. I have tried to search the
board, but so far no luck.
Originally, I want my .SWF to keep changing its background.
The solution I got was placing colored stage-sized rectangles on
the bottom layer. Then I don't want the viewers to see the HTML
area where I cannot seem to control smooth color changes.
So, after I construct a Flash file with backdrop-color
changing by the method I mentioned above, how do I publish it with
full screen mode in HTML, as you can see
here? Help!
Thanks in advance, guys.Here's an AS2 and a AS3 version I got from David Stiller
2 small details you have to add 1 in publish settings set Dimensions to percent 100 100
and in the html set <style>body {margin: 0; padding: 0}</style>
// AS2
import flash.display.BitmapData;
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG():Void {
beginBitmapFill(tile);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
fillBG();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onResize = fillBG;
Stage.addListener(listener);
// AS3
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
var bmp:Tile = new Tile(50, 50);
var tile:BitmapData = new BitmapData(50, 50);
tile.draw(bmp);
function fillBG(evt:Event = null):void {
graphics.beginBitmapFill(tile);
graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, 0);
graphics.endFill();
fillBG();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, fillBG);

Full browser width image with tiled pattern not previewing or publishing.
Using the rectangle tool to create a full browser width image, I filled it with a tiled pattern and added a drop shadow. This 80px tall rectangle serves as the background bar of my top menu navigation. Everything looks great when building in Muse CC, but when I go to preview or publish, it's missing altogether.
Any ideas?

~ KaceeLooks like you have deleted the site now. If you were experiencing any errors during publish, most likely it happened due to the recent outage with BC with loading of assets to sites hosted on US DC - http://status.businesscatalyst.com/.

What is the best practice for full browser video to achieve the highest quality?
I'd like to get your thoughts on the best way to deliver full-browser (scale to the size of the browser window) video. I'm skilled in the creation of the content but learning to make the most out of Flash CS5 and would love to hear what you would suggest.
Most of the tutorials I can find on full browser/scalable video are for earlier versions of Flash; what is the best practice today? Best resolution/format for the video?
If there is an Adobe guide to this I'm happy to eat humble pie if someone can redirect me to it; I'm using CS5 Production Premium.
I like the full screen video effect they have on the "Sounds of pertussis" web-site; this is exactly what I'm trying to create but I'm not sure what is the best way to approach it - any hints/tips you can offer would be great?
Thanks in advance!Use the little squares over your video to mask the quality. Sounds of Pertussis is not full screen video, but rather full stage. Which is easier to work with since all the controls and other assets stay on screen. You set up your html file to allow full screen. Then bring in your video (netstream or flvPlayback component) and scale that to the full size of your stage (since in this case it's basically the background) . I made a quickie demo here. (The video is from a cheapo SD consumer camera, so pretty poor quality to start.)
In AS3 is would look something like
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
// determine current stage size
var sw:int = int(stage.stageWidth);
var sh:int = int(stage.stageHeight);
// load video
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var vid:Video = new Video(656, 480); // size off video
this.addChildAt(vid, 0);
vid.attachNetStream(ns);
//path to your video_file
ns.play("content/GS.f4v");
var netClient:Object = new Object();
ns.client = netClient;
// add listener for resizing of the stage so we can scale our assets
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
stage.dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.RESIZE));
function resizeHandler(e:Event = null):void
// determine current stage size
var sw:int = stage.stageWidth;
var sh:int = stage.stageHeight;
// scale video size depending on stage size
vid.width = sw;
vid.height = sh;
// Don't scale video smaller than certain size
if (vid.height < 480)
vid.height = 480;
if (vid.width < 656)
vid.width = 656;
// choose the smaller scale property (x or y) and match the other to it so the size is proportional;
(vid.scaleX > vid.scaleY) ? vid.scaleY = vid.scaleX : vid.scaleX = vid.scaleY;
// add event listener for full screen button
fullScreenStage_mc.buttonMode = true;
fullScreenStage_mc.mouseChildren = false;
fullScreenStage_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goFullStage, false, 0, true);
function goFullStage(event:MouseEvent):void
//vid.fullScreenTakeOver = false; // keeps flvPlayer component from becoming full screen if you use it instead
if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
else
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
