How to resize a SWF file to fit on stage

Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to Flash so please bear with me. I'm trying to resize a SWF file made in InDesign. My Flash application is set at 1920x1080 and the SWF file was made at the same size. I need it to be resized to 1700x956. This is the section of script that relates to the SWF file.
break;
case 'fact_btn':
eventAction = ".../FactSheet.aspx";
eventLog(eventAction);
factLoader.load(new URLRequest("FactSheet/HABFactSheet.swf")); //fact.swf
factLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);
break;
factLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);
spotlightStageRect.addChild(factLoader);
spotlightStageRect.visible = true;
spotlightStageRect.addChild(close_btn);
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeSpotlight);
I've tried adding in the code below but the stage comes up blank when I run it in Flash. Anyone have suggestions? Also let me know if you need to see more of the script.
factLoader.width = 1700
factLoader.height = 956

you need to execute that resize factLoader code in loaderCompleteHandler

What format is the file in before you export to SWF?
What program are you using to convert your file from its
current form to SWF?

How to create the SWF file which was included surrogate pairs.

I would like to make sure how to create the SWF file which are included surrogate pairs.
The error of outside the scope of unicode occurred when I compiled(mxmlc) the as file which was set surrogate pairs to 'Unicoderange'.
Ex, I set the ' '(UTF-16 is '20B9F') to 'Unicoderange'.
However, I cannot add the surrogate pairs.
The error of outside the scope of Unicode occurred when I compiled the AS file.
The reason of error was that the Unicode(UTF-16) of surrogate pairs is invalid.
Then, I read the following pages.
These pages are written that unicode-range supported surrogate pairs.

I've been able to create project jar files in Eclipse by selecting Export from the File menu, then choose Java - Jar file - and provide the required information, name, destination folder etc. But when I do this, I do not export other jars on the build path this way nor do I expect to do this. I am only concerned with creating a jar file of my own work. A jar file does not "contain" other jar files. If the jar file contains the main method, and requires other jars for it's execution, then you may wish to include a reference to required jars on the class path entry of the Manifest file of the jar file you create. I'm not sure how to create a Manifest file in eclipse though..

How can I associat ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1

How can I associate ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1? When I
install flash lite 2.0,it can do ---- click .swf files system can
autoly use flashlite to play.But now I install flashlite 2.1,it
lost this ability return as "unknow files formate".
Now,how can I reassociate ".swf" with flashlite 2.1?
first: I must use flashlite 2.1.
second:I must click .swf file directly.
I know another way to open :open the player and then find the
.swf,and open it. But ,unfortunately,I can not use this way to
open.Now I will be looking for another way.

unfortunately, the 2.1 developer edition you have installed
has not overwritten the original version integrated into the
symbian OS by the manufacturer. This means that the only way to
open the 2.1 files is to open the 2.1 player from your apps menuu,
and click on the swf file. You will only get direct access if the
updated player is in a firmware update for you handset.

When do you think a preloader is necessary? How large should a swf file be to justify it?

I'm looking for opinions on preloaders. When do you use a preloader? How large must a swf file be before you to put a preloader in it? I am working on a small program that is 80kb in size right now and I'm not sure if I should add a preloader.

About 500kb, you should use a preloader.
Below? It depends on your file. If everything is on frame 1 , maybe it's better to use one.
You can test it with "Simulate Download" (Control - Test Scene -> View - Simulate Download)

How can I convert .swf file to exe file?

thanks

Hi
Thank for your choise.
If showing only white screen, please download the lastest version, v2.03.
http://www.bullrushsoft.com/download.html
This problem occurs in Win7 sp1, especially IE has been upgraded to v10.
Our SWF to EXE Converter must need the FlashPlayer plugin for IE, it 's not a atandalone program.
So it only 880KB.
Our online converter is the adobe flash player exe, it can be embed the swf into, and standalone, so its size > 4MB.
More details, please visit http://www.bullrushsoft.com/online.html
Best Regards.

How do I script SWF files instead of JPG files in XML loader?

I have a SWF loader (greensock.com platform) and a thumbnail image scroll underneath it made of small image buttons. Each image button has a link which loads a new SWF file into the SWF loader above. Here is the code for each button which loads the bigger SWF file into the loader above:
Button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button3_PlayPopUp);
function Button3_PlayPopUp(event:MouseEvent): void {
    //setting the sourceVar
    sourceVar="3.swf";
    //making the SWFLoader load
    //as setting the soureVar after the SWFLoader is created won't do anything unlesss
    //I also re-create the SWFLoader with the new sourceVar when the button is clicked
    loader_howToLoader2.url = sourceVar;
    loader_howToLoader2.load(true);
Then I decided to load all button via XML loader. I followed the tutorial on XML loaders which deals with loading jpg images and assigning URL links to them in the following manner first in XML file:
<image src="appThmb_imgs/appThmb_imgs117x175/A-illuminatorUpLit_117x175.jpg" title="UpDownGlowingVase" url="http://www.888acolyte.com"/>
and then in AS3 like this:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
thisOne.link = imageList[item].attribute("url");
function clickScrollerItem(e:MouseEvent):void {
//trace("clicked item " + e.currentTarget.itemNum + " - visit url: " + e.currentTarget.link);
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(e.currentTarget.link);
try {
navigateToURL(urlRequest);
catch (e:Error) {
// handle error here
trace(e);
My question is: How do I apply the code to each individual small thumbnail button to load a bigger image into the SWF loader above? Do I have to add something to XML file or this way it will never work with jpg images? Can url in XML file set the source var (//setting the sourceVar), since they are all individual and then somehow apply the making SWL loader to load part (//making the SWFLoader load) as a standard somewhere in the AS3 code?

O.K. Here is my COMPLETE function.
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
    trace("xml load complete");
    xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
    //trace(xmlData.image); //we'll see each image xml element listed in the output panel with this xmlList
    buildScroller(xmlData.image); //rather than trace the xmlList, we send it to our buildScroller function
//build scroller from xml
function buildScroller(imageList:XMLList):void{
    trace("build Scroller");
    //var scroller_x:int=0;
    for (var item:uint = 0; item<imageList.length();item++) {
        var thisOne:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
        //thisOne.img_width=imageList[item].attribute("width");
        //outline
        var blackBox:Sprite = new Sprite();
        blackBox.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
        blackBox.graphics.drawRect(-1, -1, 86, 128);//-1,-1 places rectangle 1px left and up.86, 128 draws rectangle 1px wider on all sides of placed image dimenstions of 84x126
        thisOne.addChild(blackBox);
        //scroller_x += thisOne.img_width + 20;
        //var currentX = currentImageWidth+spaceBetween;//modified line to adjust variable thumb widths
        thisOne.x = (84 + padding) *item;//84 is the width of the loaded images and 15 (which was before paddign var) is the padding
        //thisOne.x = scroller_x;//modified line to adjust variable thumb widths
        thisOne.itemNum = item;
        thisOne.title = imageList[item].attribute("title");
        thisOne.link = imageList[item].attribute("url");
        thisOne.src = imageList[item].attribute("src");
        thisOne.alpha = 0;//makes all thumb images at alpha=0 before they are fully loaded
        //trace(thisOne.itemNum, thisOne.title, thisOne.link, thisOne.src);
        //Loading and Adding the Images
        //image container
        var thisThumb:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
        //add image
        var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
        //var url:String = imageList[item].attribute("src");
        var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(thisOne.src);
        trace("loading thumbnail "+item+" into Scroller: " + thisOne.src);//url
        ldr.load(urlReq);
        //assign event listeners for Loader
        ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler);//tells us when the loading is complete
        ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);//tells us if there are any typo errors when the loading is complete
        thisThumb.addChild(ldr);
        thisOne.addChild(thisThumb);
        //create listeners for this thumb
        thisOne.buttonMode = true;//makes boxes act as buttons
        thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickScrollerItem);//makes boxes act as buttons
        thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overScrollerItem);//traces the title when the mouse is over the bounding box in the Output Panel
        thisOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outScrollerItem);//traces the title when the mouse is out the bounding box in the Output Panel
        //add item
        scroller.addChild(thisOne);
But I am not sure if I expressed myself clearly. All what you have indicated happens. Images are being loaded and url strings are working. I can not figure out how to tweek the code so instead of url specified in xml file I can load swf image into the SWF loader on the same screen?

How to call a .swf file in another .swf file?

Hi all,
I am new to flash and ActionScript3.0. Presently, I am using
flash CS3 and the code I need is in ActionScript 3.0.
Suppose, I have a .swf file(viz., file1.swf). Now, i am
developing one more .swf file(viz., file2.swf), in which I need
to execute file1.swf when a CLICK event is listened on button
present in second file(i.e., file2.swf).
In how many ways, we can get this.
And, please I need code very urgently.
Help me.

You use the Loader class to load external content like swf's
or images. If
you click the main entry for Loader Class in the AS3 help,
there's an
example of loading an external swf.

How to tell a swf file in web was made by flash or flex?

the swf file in web, how to tell it was made by Flash or
Flex? accurately!

Im not sure, but I would think that right now the main way to
tell the difference would be to find out if it requires Flash
Player 8.5 or not. Currently, Flash swfs only go to 8.0. Another
way is to look at the source of the HTML file. I notice that Flex
puts an incredible amount of code into the HTML file.

Resizing imported swf files...

I have a movie clip that I want to import a swf file into,
but the swf is larger than the movie clip's area. I tried using a
resizing code for importing images that I found, but it makes the
swf very small. Is there a way to control the size of the imported
swf?

I did this recently where I had a backdrop clip that I wanted
to serve as a 'screen' for jpgs I loaded in. I wanted them to
resize to the full extent of the background clip and maintain their
aspect ratio. The backdrop clip could have different dimensions at
different points in time as well... anyhow this should work with
swfs same as jpegs.
So I'll explain it in my context as I don't know exactly
yours (sorry this might sound a bit complicated because of that).
#1 If your holderclip is called
imageHolder and it contains a single clip inside at location
0,0 called
imageBackdrop
#2 You create an emptyMovieClip inside imageHolder and use it
to load your swf into using a Loader with a listener
#3 you have some code similar to this in your onLoadInit
event for the Loader (onLoadInit lets you initialise things like
size location etc before it displays)
If you can do something like that then I think you should be
on the right track for what I think you want to do.

I don't remember exactly, but you need to find a doc about
fscommand
paramers. There is such doc somewhere at Macromedia / Adobe
websites.
I saw it some time ago. The is a parameter like "mainmenu" or
so,
which can be "true" or "false". As far as I remember there
was such
thing.
> Second, Is it possible to export a transperent flash
movie ???
Flash movie itself is "transparent" uless an explicit
background shape
is used. It is another question how to make Flash Player box
to be
transparent. Web browsers support so called windowless mode,
but Flash
Projector (SAFlashPlayer.exe) - does not.
Personally I use my own projector, written in Delphi, which
uses
special third-party component, supporting windowless mode.
There are
other tools, supporting it. Try to search Google for
"TFlashPlayerControl".
