Resize window/Movie Clip

Hi All,
I have a movie clip that contains a swf file in my .FLA file . How can i enable the movie clip so that when the screen is resized either bigger or smaller, the movie clip enlarges/shrinks accordingly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Sean

Think i have cracked it. If I change the settings in "Publish settings" to percent and specify 100% this works a treat!
Cheers

Is this possible in flash CS3 or later to resize a movie clip but not its childern

Hi
I want to make a movie clip inside another on, and when I
resize the outer one by code or manually, the inner on should keep
it size as I created it first?
If this possible please give me the code for that (AS2.0 and
AS3.0)
thanks a lot.

Hi,
I am not sure so I will just give some some "ideas" you can
try:
1) can you assign a "variable" to the size attribute? like
mclip.size=myvariable;
and then changing it?
2) can you use something to "record" the current size of the
"inside movie clip" like StoringVariable=this.size;
and then call it again later?
3)can you siply not "reassign" the size two times?
like for one "button click:
on (release)
movieclipparent.size=something;
movieclipinside.size=something else;
I think its definitely possible...
Have a look at the Keyword "_parent" or "this" for example...
or "_root.moviclip.movieclip"

Resize a movie clip

Hi,
Here is the scenario:
I have a document with the following dimentions: 1000x700 px. In Scene 1 I have a movie clip called mc_master. Inside mc_master I have all the other elements (buttons, movie clips, graphics, etc.)
I need to resize the whole document vertically, so in Scene 1 I resized the document to 1000px x 850px. This created a 150px empty space in the bottom of the document. I wanted to resize mc_master to include this space (basically mc_master should cover the whole document). However, when I selected mc_master and modified its height property all elements inside stretched instead of just including the blank space at the bottom.
To simplify the question: is there a way to enlarge a movie clip without distorting the element inside it? I am assuming that I can create a new movie clip with the new dimentions in Scene 1 and then copy all the elements from mc_master inside the new clip, but I wondered if there is a better method of handling this situation?
Thank you,
Daniel D.

Thank you meqlomor,
This is what I was looking for.

Resize attached movie clip

Hi,
I have a movie clip to which I attach several others always
at the same depth so one replaces the other. I was trying to change
the size of the attached movies by setting the ._width and ._height
properties and also by using the xscale without any luck. I finally
experimented with a tutorial example and got it to work and saw
that the only difference between the code in the example and my own
was the depth which I had set to 1 and the tutorial had set to 0. I
changed my depth to 0 and it worked.
I didn't see anything specifying that the depth had to be 0
and believe I am still missing something. If anyone cna help me
figure out what's going on I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Chris

From the location of the code, the relative path to newSlide
is
full_mc.newSlide as newSlide is in full_mc.
Thus you want:
function updateStage() {
full_mc.attachMovie(mySlide, "newSlide", 0);
full_mc.newSlide._width = 561;
full_mc.newSlide._height = 421;
full_mc.newSlide._x = 0;
full_mc.newSlide._y = 0;
Also note that you can do:
full_mc.attachMovie(mySlide, "newSlide",
0,{_x:0,_y:0,_width:561,_height:421});
Look up attachMovie for the optional initObect
parameter.

How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

Hi.
I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
load the requested content and return to the stage.
The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
and then returns to the stage.
I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
"contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
error message:
quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
If I switch
"contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
"contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
external SWF doesn't move with the window.
How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's
inside other movie clip?

Hi,
Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
communication with the said swf file:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onComplete);
function onComplete(event:Event):void
event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
will have an answer ;)
Kind Regards,

Movie Clip / Browser Window Resize?

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that you could make a
single movie clip in your .swf react to the current width of the
browser window, when its loaded.
I would like to use this specific piece of code to
dynamically center an "enter" button on a website.
Thank you in advance

If you set the properties of your .swf to 100% width and
height your movie will automatically fill the browser regardless of
resolution. Note if your using a colored background for your web
page you will see white striping down each side of your movie. just
set the param for bgcolor to what ever you need it to be

Movie clip will not "resize"

Hello Forum,
I am baffled by something i "created". I have a swf file,
that has 3 containers (aka movieclips).
my first container (cleverly named "container") gets an
attached movie clip beginning in frame 1 of the root timeline.
I also have a clip on my stage (called "NavigationPane").
This is a movie clip as well. This is dragged to the stage at the
design mode.
My clip NavigationPane has an instance name
("navigaionpane"). This also has a border that gets sized
dynamically at run time.
My stage size is 640x525, and my resize for the
navigationpane is 640x480. so far so good. If I run the swf file
from flash player all works fine (or so it seems).
My challenge is when I embed the swf file in an html page,
and set the swf file to a smaller size (512x420 for the "stage"),
the clip plays ok and at my desired size. I am using code
like this to "resize" the swf object:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<noscript>
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="512" height="420" ID="Captivate1">
<param name="movie" value="Module1-4Buttons.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="loop" value="0">
<embed src="Module1-4Buttons.swf" width="512"
height="420" loop="0" quality="high" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" menu="false"></embed>
</object>
when the clip starts to play the size show as 512x420 (swf
stage size is 640x525).
I have code (actionscript) set at about 1/2 way thru clip to
resize the nav pane to 640x480. when the code runs to resize the
nav pane - the html sizing seems to be bypassed, and I get a piece
of the stage in my 512x420 "window" in my html file.
It seems that the resize overrides the html code. should I
bite the bullet and just resize everything for my 512x420 size?
thanks,
eholz1

ok I seem to have made some progress, but also stepped back
at the same time. I exported it as flv in premiere 2.0, and
imported to flash 8 as embedded video. bottom line quickly, it now
plays two times and stops, so thats better. :) however all of my
control buttons stopped working. I did instantiate the flv as
-video-, but the scripts shown above no longer work. It also
autoplays at load, so in publish settings I told it not to, but
without the buttons working I cannot get it to play at all. Chuckle
chuckle. So if autoplya, it plays twice, but my buttons do not work
at all, if no autoplay, it can do nothing as the buttons do not
work.
I am surprised the buttons do not work as the instance is
still video and I did not change anything. Ah so much I do not
know. Can you nudge me along a little further. I sure appreciate
yours and anybodys help as I try to get out of kindergarten.

How can I get my movie clip to resize according to screen size?

I have a movie clip (startMenu); inside it there are buttons, text, and graphics. This is a game I am making, and it will be played on different screen sizes of Android. This is the code I have so far:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT
startMenu.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeLayout);
function resizeLayout(e:Event):void
    setPosition();
function setPosition():void
     startMenu.x = (stage.stageWidth - startMenu.width) / 2;
        startMenu.y = (stage.stageHeight - startMenu.height) /2;
When I run it on different phones using debugging, it locks on the left hand corner, but does stretch out to fit the whole screen. What should I do?

try changing
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
to
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;

HOW TO CAPTURE DIGITAL VIDEO CLIPS, OPTIONALY WITH WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER

I want to capture video clips and save them on disk, when a certain event occurs.If possible I prefer to do it with labview only. Optionaly to execute a record command on windows movie maker, save with arbitrary file name, and go back to standby mode for the next clip.

Do you have a camera along with the IMAQ hardware? Then, the easiest way is probably using the IMAQ VIs to acquire frames and create avi files out of them. There is some example code on how to grab images using the imaq hardware.
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3E1DB56A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52490&p_source=external
Generating the avi files is fairly straightforward once you know how to acquire images. Lookup the help on the "IMAQ AVI" VIs.
If you have a camera hooked up through USB, you can try the documentation on the following link. I have never used labview with usb cameras though.

Windows Movie Maker - no sound on QT video clips

I'm trying to combine QuickTime video clips (downloaded from Casio camera) into one movie, using Windows Movie Maker (Vista). All the clips have sound when I open them in their folder but after importing the clips in to MovieMaker, there is no sound. How do I import these clips so that their sound is also there? I have no problem with other video clips, only those saved as QT.
Thanks

My desktop IMac OSX 10.6.8 : IMovie '11: Trying to upload a home movie clip from my Panosonic camera model PV-DV203D. I've had this camera several years, and used it with Windows desktop. Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

What kind of Mac to you have? This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire. If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
ETA: Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go. You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Not sure when it statrted

Hi.
When this happens, please press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and see how much RAM and CPU Firefox is using. If they're sky high, then... Well, that kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix you issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly.

(bug?)Movie clip contains an object with a z value will not edit the object in place, it goes into a seperate window.

When a movie clip contains an object with a z value, I can not edit the object in place, it goes into a seperate window.
This changes the vanishing point relative to the movieclip instead of the stage (allong with everything else).
This makes it very hard to keep track of where the movieclips will end up when actualy playing the animation.

I should have explained my situation a little better. I have a machine that's made up of a number of parts, some of them are fairly large and some are quite small. When a user clicks on a part, I want to center that part on the screen and then move whole machine toward the screen until the selected part either fills the screen (for the larger parts) or the part bumps up against the front clip plane (for the smaller parts).
I didn't think of checking for a collision with the ViewPlatform's TG, thanks for mentioning that. I wasn't sure how the ViewPlatform's location relates to the clipping plane, but I'll dig into it. I'm still learning how the ViewingPlatform, the image plate, and the clipping planes all relate to each other.

Movie clip resize not working when image is loaded

Hello,
I'm having some strange luck in building an image slide
show. I load the image paths into an array from an XML
page and then step through the array elements w/ forward and
back buttons.
I have an empty image clip on the stage where I create an
empty movie clip inside each time a new image is loaded. I load the
image into the second movie clip like this:
[code]
_root.picsPage_mc.mc_pic_loader.mc_individual_pic_loader.unloadMovie();
_root.picsPage_mc.mc_pic_loader.createEmptyMovieClip(
'mc_individual_pic_loader', 1 );
_root.load_movie_and_stop(
_root.picsPage_mc.mc_pic_loader.mc_individual_pic_loader,
_root.photo_array[_root.photo_index].image,
_root.picsPage_mc.mc_pbar, 'regular_load');
[/code]
The load_movie_and_stop function is as follows:
[code]
function load_movie_and_stop( target_mc:MovieClip,
movie_clip_to_load:String, p_bar:MovieClip, action:String )
mc_loader._width = 0;
mc_slider_bar.mc_drag_pan._x = 0;
if( action != 'simple_load' )
p_bar._visible = true;
p_bar.bar._width = 0;
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadStart = function( target_mc )
if( action != 'simple_load' && action !=
'regular_load' ){ target_mc.stop(); }
if( action == 'load_and_play' ){ target_mc.play(); }
mclListener.onLoadInit = function( target_mc )
_root.resize_movie_clip(target_mc, 160, 120, 250, 190);
if( action == 'load_and_stop' ){ target_mc.stop(); }
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function( target_mc )
if( action != 'simple_load' )
percentLoaded = Math.floor( (
target_mc.getBytesLoaded()/target_mc.getBytesTotal() )*100);
p_bar.bar._xscale = percentLoaded;
p_bar.txt_percent = percentLoaded + "% loaded.";
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function( target_mc ){
p_bar._visible = false; }
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
my_mcl.loadClip( movie_clip_to_load, target_mc );
}//___endFunc___
[/code]
After the image is loaded into the movie clip, I then resize
the image to be a specific width.
The image resizing is done w/ this function:
[code]
function resize_movie_clip(clip_loader_name:MovieClip,
max_width:Number, max_height:Number )
orig_width = clip_loader_name._width;
orig_height = clip_loader_name._height;
aspect_ratio = orig_width / orig_height;
if( (orig_width > max_width) || ( orig_height >
max_height ) ) // If either dimension is too big...
if( orig_width > orig_height ) // For wide images...
new_width = max_height;
new_height = new_width / aspect_ratio;
else if( orig_width < orig_height )
new_height = max_height;
new_width = new_height * aspect_ratio;
else if( orig_width == test_height )
new_width = max_width;
new_height = max_width;
else { trace( "Error reading image size."); return false; }
else { new_width = orig_width; new_height = orig_height; }
clip_loader_name._width = Math.round(new_width);
clip_loader_name._height = Math.round(new_height);
[/code]
Now, 98% of the time this works perfectly, but there is some
certain times where the image resizing is completely ignored and
the image gets loaded as it's normal size.
Can anyone see why the image sizing get's ignored in some
instance?
Thanks for any help,
Clem

Found the solution that worked (used ._xscale and ._yscale
instead of ._width and ._height
[code]
function resize_movie_clip(clip_loader_name:MovieClip,
max_width:Number, max_height:Number, center_offset:Number )
if( (clip_loader_name._width > max_width) || (
clip_loader_name._height > max_height ) ) // If either dimension
is too big...
if( clip_loader_name._width > max_width )
_root.picsPage_mc.txt_test = "func if 1";
clip_loader_name._width = max_width;
clip_loader_name._yscale = clip_loader_name._xscale;
if( clip_loader_name._height > max_height )
_root.picsPage_mc.txt_test = "func if 2";
clip_loader_name._height = max_height;
clip_loader_name._xscale = clip_loader_name._yscale;
else { new_width = orig_width; new_height = orig_height; }
[/code]
