Resize the swf in an elastic div

Hi, i want to explain my problem:
I've an elastic css layout, and there is a div hat countains
my swf, this div has height and width variables, that is, the
dimension of the div is not fixed, height and width are not in px
but in %.
Now, I want to know how can I do to have the swf resizabe
100% height and 100% width in the div? If I give 100% to height and
width in the embed tag the result it's that the swf don't resize it
self, but there are white spaces in the div (if I click with the dx
buttom of the mouse on th white spaces I see the traditioal flash
menù).
Someone says to me that the solution is to use an
actionscript with a stage object.
I'm not an expert of flash, someone can help me with this
problem?
Thanks!

Safari is resizing the swf file

i go to File => Open => swf
it opens just fine, but then when i resize the window
everything grows or shrinks with the window.
what's that about?

Seth Prince;
That is what happens when you open a "bare" swf--embed the
swf in an
html page and set the size in pixels. See flash's publish
feature... -Tom

Resizing the swf inside a container

Hi Guys,
I am using a dashboard inside a vbox. I have integrated my
dashboard into my main application (i.e. I have two different swfs,
one of my main application and other of dashboard). Now when I
login into my application by reducing the size of the browser, the
pods inside the dashboard appears very small. Now when I increase
the size of the browser the size of the pods remains small. Now my
requirement is that the size of the pods should also get increased
along with the size of the browser. Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,

Hi mersec,
That's Ok, I fixed the code like below, you could refer to.
Private Sub picturebox1_mouseup(sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseUp
'Allows picture box to be dragged inside container
'Top and Left sides of picturebox1 will not exceed point 0,0
'This will stop any "grey space" from appearing outside these edges.
pbLoc.X = (PictureBox1.Location.X + (e.X - a))
pbLoc.Y = (PictureBox1.Location.Y + (e.Y - b))
If pbLoc.X + screenshot.Width > 0 And pbLoc.Y + screenshot.Height > 0 Then
If pbLoc.X > 0 Then pbLoc.X = 0
If pbLoc.Y > 0 Then pbLoc.Y = 0
If pbLoc.X + screenshot.Width - ClientSize.Width < 0 Then pbLoc.X = ClientSize.Width - screenshot.Width
If pbLoc.Y + screenshot.Height - ClientSize.Height < 0 Then pbLoc.Y = ClientSize.Height - screenshot.Height
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(pbLoc.X, pbLoc.Y)
Else
'else recovery the location
pbLoc.X = PictureBox1.Location.X
pbLoc.Y = PictureBox1.Location.Y
End If
End Sub
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Resize the .swf file

I've finished my flash site using a resolution of 1024x768: my professor wasn't so happy of a resolution so "high" (even if today is something like standard) since somebody might still have an old monitor with low res.
Since I really don't want to get a bad vote I wanted to change the resolution to 1000x550 because with that res a 1024x768 monitor still can see everything: then I've exported my .swf file and then into the .HTML file I've changed the width and height fields.
Is this a "correct" operation? There could be any problem??
All tips are welcome!

Select everything on every layer and with the "edit multiple frames" option turned on, scale your content proportionately to 800x600. Don't forget to select everything on the scene before scaling, just checking "edit multiple frames" wouldn't be enough

Load and resize a SWF inside a MC

Hi,
I'm using AS2 to load an SWF inside an MC. The MC measures
800x600, while the SWF (which can vary in size) measures in this
case 14x60, even though, looking at it, it seems to be about half
the size of the hosting MC. This makes me think that the dimension
scales are different. I'm loading the SWF using MovieClipLoader and
I'd like to resize it so that it fits as proportionally snug as
possible within the MC. How can I do this? If I try to resize the
SWF to the MC's dimensions, it become way too large and goes off
screen. If instead I try to rescale the hosting MC to fit around
the SWF, the SWF itself rescales as well. I'm going nuts! How can
accomplish this?
Thank you,
Tatiana

To make things simple, I'd like to take an existing SWF (the
picture) and load it into a FIXED SIZED MC (the frame) and I'd like
to rescale the SWF so that it fits perfectly into the frame.
By all means, I know that what you said should work and I
admit my inexperience with AS2, but somehow the SWF's I'm loading
in, have scales that are totally different with respect to my
Stage. I even tried loading the SWF directly onto the stage and
then I loaded the frame separately onto the stage and tried to
resize it to the SWF's _width and _height. The frame became a tiny
dot on the screen, while the SWF filled half of my Stage.
Thanks again for your help.

Resizing the viewable screen in realation to content

I'm making a flash document that will take in a photo and
then allow the user to resize it. I dont want to force users to put
in a specific sized image so i'd like to be able to resize the swf
in relation to the size of the image that has been loaded. This
will allow any user to put in any sized image.
Is this possible?
thanks in advance

Is this the same posting as this one from earlier? If you've contacted NI and they said it's a problem, I supposed they'll submit it to R&D.

Resizing Imported SWF?

I have imported an SWF into a FLA project library and have
dragged it onto a frame in my project. I am trying to resize the
SWF to about 1/4 of its original size to make it fit correctly in
the new project. I cannot figure out how to resize the SWF. I have
tried the properties sheet, but it won't take different width and
height parameters. No object boundaries appear (all I have is a dot
to select the object) so I cannot use the transform tool to scale
it. Any ideas?

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.

BitmapData draw method doesn't work when the project is published as the .swf file of the web applic

Hi,
        I am totally confused by this strange error. When I tried using the draw method of BitmapData to draw a movieclip symbol of my project, it seems to work fine locally. However, as I uploaded the published .swf file to my web server and launched it as the plugin of my web application, it failed. The source codes as follows,
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
message3 didn't show at all. Instead, the browser console shows "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject.". My understanding of this error message is that the .swf is calling something crashing, and I believe that bd.draw(stage)is the crashng method call.
Also, here is my html embed tag:
    <embed src="/tests/videoplayer.swf" id="flash" quality="high" height="510" width="990" scale="exactfit" name="squambido" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" style="margin: 0px auto;clear:both;position:relative;"/>
Can someone help me?

Thank you for your reply.
I tried stageWidth and stageHeight, but it still doesn't work.
The draw() methid is triggered when I clicked a screenshot button in my application as follows,
ExternalInterface.addCallback("printscreenClicked", printscreenClicked);
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
Would you please give me an example of "waiting for Event.RESIZE is good, or just at least Event.ENTER_FRAME"?
My real purpose in this application is to capture a snapshot of a streaming video. The video is contained in a movieclip object. I tried stage first since BirmapData.draw() doesn't work when drawing the movieclip on the web site. Do you have any suggestion for this situation? Also, is there any good method to find out what happened if the browser have "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject."?

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

Why does Captivate 6 create mp4 files that the swf does not playback clearly?

Captivate 5 created a .swf which suited my training purposes very nicely. There were swf files in the library, embedded in the (rather large) .swf that I asked the students to run. Now it seems that Captivate 6.0.1.240 won't do that. Captivate 6 creates external mp4 files for the video portion (audio is separately recorded mp3 that is imported to the finished demo video slide) and they look terrible when the .swf runs them. Those mp4 look fine on their own but the .swf must resize them to properly fit with the TOC on the screen.
The HTML created when I make the .swf looks fine but it does not all fit on the screen as does the .swf so I don't like it and don't want to use it. Thanks, in advance, for any replies and suggestions.

Hi llstewart,
I assume you are launching your program from C drive. Are any
components of Captivate stored on the remote drive? (I am thing
your user profile, are you the only person who accesses Captivate
from that machine?)
Does this happen all the time?
What I have noticed in my own network is that there are
periodic "dropped" connections on the network. I have never figured
out what it causing this, but Captivate does not like it. (Every
once in awhile if Word or Excel are writing to a file on a share,
they will become thoroughly corrupted too.)
The problem with Captivate is that it needs a lot of a
computer's resources and takes what it can get. It also seems to
write to a temp file a lot (while a capture is taking place) an
only "binds" it up when the user stops and ends the session. The
only thing I can think of is that during this process there is a
inturruption in your network.
Sorry I couldn't fully answer your question.
I would try (if you can) loading the software on a machine
that is not on the network and try to do a series of long captures
and see if the problem persists.
I work in a large network and I do not have the problem, but
I have also installed the software myself and made sure of the
installation. I also make sure the program I am recording is local
(whenever possible). Additionally, do you have problems with any
other programs and corrupted files?
Again, sorry I don't have a quick answer.

How to resize a swf created in Catalyst?

Hello,
I have created a beautiful site in Catalyst. My problem is: I don't know a code to edit the size of the swf created in Catalyst.
The swf is now 800 x 600, but I want it to automatically fit the browser.
I already made an swf in Flash Professional CS5, and then import it in Dreamweaver, and edit 800 x 600 to 100% x 100%.
This works really well, but when I do the same with my swf created in Catalyst, it doesn't.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
Thanks,

Hi Matiege,
What version of Fc are you using? The latest version of FC, called "Panini", supports constraints, so you can run the project, resize the browser and all objects that are using constraints will be aligned properly. The object layout constraints are specified with so called "suction cup" displayed when the object is selected. There is also a few options if you right click on the suction cup. The "Panini" is available for download at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst_panini/.
The older version of FC supports absolute coordinates only.
Does it answer your question?
Thanks,

How to load images from client side when the swf is hosted on a server without uplaoding it to server?

I'm trying to build a online image resize tool.
problem i face are:
1. I build a button that allow user to browse the file. Once
file is selected, it doesnt show full path.
2. lets say if it shows fullpath, but i try to load it into a
movieclip, and it doesnt work because the swf file is located at
the server and not the client's place.
3. as far as i know, flash can only load images which is
located in the same server or internet.
4. if i use php, asp, cgi.. it can only allow me to 1st
upload the image then resize later, but this is not wat i want.
5. I need to 1st resize then upload later, because if i have
100 and more photos taken from digicam, it's going to be very slow
and heavy.
What i have tested:
1. upload "image3.jpg" into the same directory as the
"viewer.swf", and it works.
2. do not upload the swf to the server, but run locally from
the user's computer and open "image3.jpg" and it works.
3. upload the swf to the server and open "image3.jpg" from
the user's computer and IT DOESN"T WORK!
please help me out.
Thanks~!

Dweaver:.jpg rollover activates .swf in seperate AP-Div

Thursday, May 15th, 2008: 7:22pm PDT
Hi,
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 and I have built separate Flash CS3
.swf movie clip files that are contained (one at a time) in the
center of the page by an AP-Div Tag on my web page. Around the
center AP-Div tag are eight (8) small .jpeg thumbnails of the Flash
.swf movie clips they represent. I am trying to create eight (8)
disjointed rollovers that swap out the .jpg for the .swf in the
center.
I want to hover over the small .jpeg (still image) and have
Dreamweaver javascript swap out one .swf file for the one being
hovered over. I cannot get this to happen. Dreamweaver CS3 will not
swap out the .swf using the Behavior Attributes palette
"Swap-Out/Restore" feature.
How can I accomplish this task?
P.S.: On the other hand, a simple disjointed static
.jpeg-to-.jpeg works fine.

Div tags 98-101 are positioned in the right place when I'm looking at my page in Dreamweaver. But when I preview the page, those 4 div tags are not where they're supposed to be
I thought I was reading it wrong, but you really do have 101 AP divs on the page. I don't have the time to go through your code, but using absolutely positioned divs as the sole basis for page layout is likely to lead to massive problems. AP divs (or layers, as they used to be called) were all the rage several years ago, because people wrongly thought they would make web pages work like desktop publishing. I used them, too, until I realized they caused massive problems.
It won't solve your current problem, I'm afraid, but I recommend that you take a look at the following page, which describes some of the problems with AP div/layers: http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php.

How can I resize the size of the Excel web part?

I have a spreadsheet that i want to use to populate a page in my SharePoint site. i copied the workbook to the site, created the page and added the excel web part. then i linked the workbook to the web part and submitted. it displays but only
about 25% of the sheet shows. i dont want to use the thumbs to scroll inside the web part. i want the web part sized to show the entire spreadsheet. cant seem to find how to size the web part. Can some kind soul help me out here.
thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to resize the size of the Excel web part.
Per my knowleadge, most of the time excel web parts turn out ugly, due to the fact that they’re rendered in an iframe and therefore the browser doesn’t resize the container to fit the content.
As a workaround, we can edit the page where you want the resizing to happen, add in a content editor web part, and paste the following code into the source editor.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () { // resizes excel webparts
$("td[id^='MSOZoneCell_WebPart']").each (function (i, e) {
var findIframe = $(e).find ("iframe:first");
if (findIframe && findIframe.attr ("scriptforiframecontent"))
bindEwaLoaded ("#"+e.id);
function bindEwaLoaded(obj) { // bind event to the web part
$(obj).bind ("ewaLoaded", function (e) {
var b = $(e.target).find ("iframe:first").attr ("postedbackalready");
if (b == undefined) // loop until iframe is ready
setTimeout (function() { $(e.target).trigger ("ewaLoaded"); }, 1000);
else // try to resize now
ewaSetSize (e.target);
}).trigger ("ewaLoaded"); // first trigger now
function ewaSetSize(obj) { // resize elements
// configure paddings
var excelObjectWidthPadding = 50;
var excelObjectHeightPadding = 50.
var w, h, div1, div2;
var e = $(obj).find ("iframe:first").contents().find ("table.ewrnav-invisibletable-nopadding:last");
if (e.length != 0) { // excel table
w = e.width ();
h = e.height ();
div1 = $(obj).find ("table:first> tbody:first> tr:eq(1)> td> div> div");
div2 = $(div1).find ("table:first> tbody:first> tr:eq(1)> td> div");
} else {
e = $(obj).find ("iframe:first").contents().find ("div.ewrchart-img-div");
if (e.length != 0) { // excel chart
w = e.width ();
h = e.height ();
div1 = $(obj).find ("table:first> tbody:first> tr:eq(0)> td> div> div");
div2 = $(div1).find ("table:first> tbody:first> tr:eq(1)> td> div");
if (w == 0 || w == undefined) { // loop until content is ready
setTimeout (function() { ewaSetSize (obj); }, 1000);
} else { // do resize
w += excelObjectWidthPadding;
h += excelObjectHeightPadding;
div1.width (w);
div2.height (h);
</script>
