Resizing Flash Movie to Size of Site

I am developing a html Web site with a flash intro
and need help because I am learning all over again, not having done
it in 3 years.
The screen is to start out white and fade to silver, which I
did quite nicely after many frustrating moments of relearning and
conditioning and realized it was quite simple. The movie is 600x400
and I developed the site at 1028x768 with my html layer for the
site at: <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:125px;
top:7px; width:686px; height:623px; z-index:1">. The flash movie
layer is: <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:128px;
top:-68px; width:602px; height:424px; z-index:1"> which I
changed to the html one and it did not work.
Then I went back to Flash and tried to change the movie size.
Well that was a trip. The stage is somehow off center to the right
and when I used the hand to move it, it did not work
Anyway, what I am trying to do is start the page off with a
white background full screen and have the flash movie start out as
white with a black dot and then fade to silver until the dot turns
into the logo. The flash movie does this, but I can't figure out
how to put it on the first page so when viewed the user will only
see the movie and not the movie with a white background. Also can't
figure what glitched when I was playing with it to get the stage
off centered.
If you want to see the movie, I can show you and please no
jokes because the item my friend is selling is a bit different but
highly used
Thank you in advance...StarShine

Am I missing something or your long story has nothing to do
with "Resizing Flash Movie to Size of Site"?
If you want your flash file to be displayed full
size in browser window try setting the "width" and "height"
parameters in "object" and "embed" tag to "100%".

  • Resize flash movie.

    Hi friends,
                   Actually my doubt concerns with resizing a flash movie when a browser resizes. The flash movie is a slide show. In flash I have scripted to resize the image using onResize event. Also it's working finely when opening on flash CS3. But when I opened the same on a browser and resizes the browser, the flash component is not resizing. Can I use any javascipt function for this purpose. If so can anyone describe, how it could be. Because I don't have any idea on javascript.
    Thanks and Regards,

    I generally put the whole slide/page into a movie clip and use this code on resize to center it. In your case I would use the same code but inside the listener fire a function call where you'll resize each item?
    //===========================================================
    //        size listener
    //===========================================================
    pageSizeListener = new Object();
    pageSizeListener.onResize = function() {
    mainPage._x = Stage.width / 2;
    //pageMC._y = Stage.height / 2;
    mainBackground._x = Stage.width / 2;
    Stage.addListener(pageSizeListener);
    pageSizeListener.onResize();

  • Flash movie file size rather large?!

    just created my first flash movie, but it is 25 mins long and
    is 264mb in size!
    is this normal, or can i get this file size down some how
    without reducing the length of the movie or the quality where it is
    not reasonable.
    I have seen stuff on myspace and seen movie longer and the
    quality is fair good, but does the files size have to be this much,
    if so myspace must have 100000000 of gigs !!!
    any advise is appreaciated.

    hi again.
    i have just saved the SWF file and when i play it, it does

    for example.. this is the whole movie screen size
    but i only get this size
    the right size and botton parts of the movie are cropped off

    i have just uploading it to my site to test it out there too,
    and the same thing happen there.
    www.roundshaw.com/swf
    does anyone know why does it not show the whole movie?

    look as i do not know exactly what problem i am looking for in the
    files.

  • Resize flash movie while maintaining aspect ratio?

    Hey all,
    We have created an extremely content heavy .swf file (1900 x
    1400) for a presentation that runs full screen on a monitor at a
    screen resolution of 1900 x 1400. I think that was the
    resolution... I've been away from the project for a while and I
    can't remember. anyways....
    now we need to shrink the .swf down to a more reasonable size
    so that we can make a cd rom out of it. Probably needs to be shrunk
    to about 800 x 600. Is there an easy way to shrink the .swf in
    flash from 1900 x 1400 to 800 x 600 while maintaining aspect ratio
    and keeping all items on stage?
    I sure hope so! I'd hate to have to recreate the entire
    thing! It was a HUUUGE project with a ton of content.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!!!

    Hey all.... I am just now working on this project.
    I've created my .fla file and I'm trying to load a .swf into
    an empty movie clip. It didn't scale down like I want it to and it
    was still appearing as the normal size file. So I added the
    container._height = 500; and container._width = 800; When I added
    the width and height the .swf inside the empty mc container
    disappeared!!!!! Any idea why???
    Here is my code:
    stop();
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",
    this.getNextHighestDepth());
    loadMovie("hlhuntyears.swf", container);
    container._width = 800;
    container._height = 500;
    container._x = 0;
    container._y = 0;
    I export it as an .exe since its going to be a cd rom and
    when I double click the .exe to run it I get a blank screen. But
    when I take out height and width it shows up but not to the correct
    scale. The original file (hlhuntyears.swf) is 1440 x 900 and when I
    run the .exe I can only see a tiny piece of it. Can anybody help??
    please??

  • Can't See Particular Flash Movie on Specific Site

    OP: Windows 7
    Web browser: IE9 , chrome
    Flash version : 10.3.183.7
    Hey,
    I recently bought a new acer TravelMate 5742Z computer. Now i'm having an issue in playing a particular movie on my student's web site(www.high-q.co.il) that is only working with Internet Explorer. All the other flash movies on the same site and other sites seems to work fine except this one. The thing is that on other computers with the same OP, web browser and flash player it works good. I tried to install Win XP and changing IE version to ie7, and ie8, tried to uninstall flash player and installing its offline version, I also deleted all my browsing data and lowered the security level on IE properties, installed the newest graphic drivers, tried to add this site on the trusted locations settings, enabling it on the addons section, but it still shows only BLACK screen and when I right click on it, it says "Movie not loaded". It sometimes blinks the movie for a second and then it goes black again.
    Here's how it looks:
    Thanks!

    Could you try disabling hardware acceleration and see if that makes a difference?

  • Please Help!!!!!dynamically changing a flash movies size...

    Hi i'm working on my final year dissertation and have become
    intensely stressed out/frustrated & almost mental in achieving
    this particular aim!!!!
    what i need to know is how to
    dynamically change a flash movies document size in real time,
    without squashing or stretching the content,much like the banner
    adds frequently seen on hotmail by companies such as orange,lexus
    etc.. where the flash movies size expands on interaction
    Help on this will be greatly greatly appreciated!!
    Thank you.

    RE: "P.S. I  found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text  here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain  text?"
    I take it you tried using the "right click" menu?   That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key  and while holding it down, press the "V" letter  key.
    CTRL + C = COPY
    CTRL + X = CUT
    CTRL + V = PASTE

  • Determining movie stream size in javascript

    Hi guys,
    Is it possible to determine flash movie stream size of any movie using JavaScript only?
    Thanks!

    JProg,
    I am relatively new to programming so I am having some
    conceptual difficulties with your suggestion, it
    sounds really good, but I can't honestly say that I
    understand this fully.
    When you say "dump a java class on the server that
    will serve as a local file metadata querier" I am a
    little stumped. I have a basic understanding of what a
    metadata querier is (basically something that gets
    info off the server for you) however there are two
    things that I would appreciate help with:
    1). How does one go about dumping a java class onto
    the server?
    2). What class would one use?
    If you can provide any help with these two points it
    will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the advice so
    far.
    Regards
    Davo
    What I meant is create a Java Class that queries File MetaData. Compile it, then put it on the server.
    Create an RMI server on the server-side that you would use as a proxy for this class.
    From the client-side, call the proxy via the RMI Stubs that were generated when you compiled rmi server. Pass the file name, the stub will send the filename to the querier proxy that serves as RMI server, then this proxy will call the actual file meta data querier passing to it the filename, get the metadata in return, and sends them back to the client.

  • Possible to offer a 640x480 size Flash movie?

    Hello & Happy Christmas List responders,
    My name is Luke Wonderly, and I've used flash 5 a little bit
    - in the past.
    I just purchased my new copy of CS3, and am beginning to
    develop how the work flow for
    my project should go.
    I have several hundred individual "Dance" moves, that are 6
    to 12 seconds long (both real time - and slow motion) shot
    on DVC-Pro 720x486 - exported as uncompressed QT movies - in
    a current supported Codec.
    I would like to deliver them on the internet - both as QT,
    and Flash movies.
    For the Flash development, my first questions -
    2 Questions:
    1). Is it possible to deliver an internet Flash Movie at a
    640x480 size?
    I see tons of references to creating 320x240 sizes - but
    what about the larger, physical size?
    2) Is it possible to allow a way for my audience to download,
    save & keep the Flash movies - to watch later?
    If so, how are the way's you folks would do it? (3rd
    question).
    Thank you for any help, time or direction that you may offer.
    Kindest regards & Christmas greetings,
    Luke Wonderly

    Thank you rafiqelmansy for helping,
    and Happy New Year to you as well!
    Ok, I think I understand about file size and bandwidth.
    These movies will be offered on line - to paying subscribers.
    Each movie teaches a paticular dance move (with 2 different
    camera views
    one real time, the other view in slow motion) . . plus there
    is no Audio .
    Only text titles, description & break down.
    So the content is for training (monkey see, monkey do), and
    needs to be as large as possible - preferably 640x480 . . . .
    The clients know that it's not going to be tiny file sizes -
    and because each
    dance movie is only (average) 8 seconds long - it should
    still boil down
    to an acceptable, downloadable size . . . .
    At least that's what I was hoping for. Thank you for letting
    me know that
    Flash will at least give me the options.
    Of course I'll be doing all kinds of compression level
    testing - but I didn't
    want to start in a 640 direction - until I could find out
    first - if that physical size was even supported.
    In reference to question 2, you wrote:
    "2) yes, you just need to upload the version that the users
    need to download and link to it from Flash using."
    It looked like maybe you got cut off - or that you wanted me
    to go to your
    web site (using attached link) . . . I searched your site on
    the tutorials -
    very nice (I know physical size of Flash content &
    player, and will use your tutorial for that end of delivery) . . .
    But I didn't see any reference on:
    How to offer your customers the ability to download,
    save/keep, and watch the movie(s) later . . . . (but maybe I missed
    it).
    Do I offer it with a link to a Compressed "Stuff it" flash
    player file.
    Is there just a simpler way?
    And then, what happens when the customer actually double
    clicks the
    file that's on their computer . . . . . does it engage the
    browser, then the flash plug in - then
    begin playing it ?
    I'm just not sure how it should be done - so that it will
    really work.
    Could you please help me on this a little more?
    Thanks again,
    Luke Wonderly

  • How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?

    I posted this same question on the Dreamweaver forum and a suggestion was made that I try over here for help, so please excuse the duplicate question.
    How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?
    Hey there everyone and thanks for reading my question.
    I have a library of flash movies (specifically a library of maps) and when the map movies are run in Flash they call each other just fine (i.e. the USA map will load the Georgia map when Georgia is clicked on the USA map, etc etc etc for each state).
    HOWEVER, when I insert the USA map in one of my site pages (I'm working on the site using Dreamweaver CS4) the USA map page will load, but when a state is clicked the area on the page for the map goes blank and the state map does not load.
    Short of coding a specific path in each of my state maps (in the Flash editor) is there a way to tell Dreamweaver there is a library of maps, look there for the sub-map?
    and if I do have to code the path to the map, can I code a relative path rather than a specific URL address for the maps?
    I know this is probably one of those simple things, but I'm not seeing it (can you tell I'm new at this??)
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Frances

    Hey again,
    Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Everyone's comments got me to thinking about what the path was in the calls from the maps.
    here is what finally worked:
    on (release)
    loadMovie("../FlashIMapDownloads/georgia.swf", 0);  
    this script code is in the action script for the "georgia" button of my main map - a US Map. (I hope I'm describing all this correctly).
    I'll post this same info in the Dreamweaver forum too.
    Thanks again!
    Frances

  • Help !! !!  What size is this flash movie?

    How do you tell the size of a flash movie on a Mac? (Intel)
    Info will tell you the pixel size of a quicktime, but not a
    flash mov. Nor is there a way to check the size with Sorensen
    player.

    Though the image should probably be adjusted in contrast and uploaded at larger res to increase the chances of identification...

  • Why do Flash movies only play at certain sites?

    For some reason, flash movies won't play at certain sites. They work fine at YouTube. But, at places like MLB.com and NFL.com, nothing happens. My system specs are:
    HP Pavilion dv7
    8.0GB Memory
    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    Firefox 3.6.8
    Flash Player 10.1

  • Read flash movie size from file

    hi,
    does anybody know how i can read the display size of a flash movie (i can access the movie thru an input stream)? i know flash doesn't have a fixed size but i'm pretty sure it should have something like a default size though.
    thakns for help,
    marco

    You could parse the HTML the flash file is shown in and get it's size.
    But I looked through a Flash 4 file I have, and I don't find the size that I know I designed it to be written anywhere in it. It was a quick run-through of the file, though, so I could be wrong. But it would make sense since it's essentially vector graphics, so size isn't important.

  • How to have Flash movie resize with rest of webpage

    Hi,
    I ran a search for this but couldn't find anything. Is there code I can write into my webpage (using dreamweaver) that will make my flash movie get larger along with the rest of my webpage when the viewer zooms their internet explorer 8 browser? Here's a link to an example. Looks fine when page is viewed at 100% but above that everything zooms except the movie.
    www.empowerments.net/canary.html
    Thanks for your help,
    James

    Thanks again for your time but it seems we're not on the same page (pun intended!).
    I do appreciate you trying to help me and I understand how easy it is to misread the question perameters.
    When your reply said "The Zoom does create a white space because it "zooms" the background image and text only.
    The Flash content isn't set to zoom with it apparently"
    it actually just stated what I said was the problem in my original post.
    I've already said the flash content looks fine at 100% and is only a problem when zoomed in by the internet explorer browser.
    The help I'm looking for is maybe a tip on some html code (like rescale = true or something) that I can write into the web page (via Dreamweaver) that tells the flash content to scale up with the rest of the page when zoomed.
    Does anyone else have any suggestions?
    Thanks again for your time and willingness, Mac=Win=Me!
