Scaling to Browser Window

Hi all,
I'm trying to design a site that will fit the browser window
but, instead of stretching the text and some of the images, allow
for proper word wrapping and such. Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks very much!

Proportionaly scaling down background image when restoring down browser window

Hi all, i need some help, i want to minimize(scale or restore down) window to not-fullscreen browser window (and ajusting size of window manually over arrows in the corners of the window) and retain background picture full size (i need to picture proportionally follows screen scaling).
I`m new into flash stuff, so please tell me if it is the code or what, and if you know part of code that will do the job, write me down!
Thanks!

I take it you want a liquid effect. I wrote a site that does that or rather the background of this site does that http://www.droolpigs.com/ . It's fairly simple just tell the backrgound to change width and height on stage resize.
    public class NuPigs2 extends MovieClip
        var holder:btnHolder; // container for nav buttons
        var onStage:*;     // this can be anything
        var ratio:Number;
        var rRatio:Number;
        var newRatio:Number;
        var com:FLVPlayback;
        var bkg:*;
        public function NuPigs2(){
            com = new FLVPlayback();
            setCom("droolPigsWrestling.flv");                     // set the video for player com
            addChildAt(com, 0);
            stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
            stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;    // this is needed for resizing to work
            onStage = com;                                                   // the video player is assigned to onStage
            ratio = onStage.height/onStage.width;
            rRatio = onStage.width/onStage.height;
            addHolder();
            fillBG();
            stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, fillBG);
////////////////////// FILL BG ////////////////////////
// this code makes the video resize with the stage
        function fillBG(evt:Event = null):void {
            newRatio = this.stage.stageHeight/this.stage.stageWidth;
            holder.x = this.stage.stageWidth - (holder.width +25);    // position the buttons on the right
            holder.y = 50;
            if (newRatio > ratio){
                 onStage.height = this.stage.stageHeight;
                 onStage.width = (this.stage.stageHeight * rRatio);
                else {
                  onStage.width = this.stage.stageWidth;
                  onStage.height = this.stage.stageWidth * ratio;

Responsive animation disappears when scaling browser window

Hi all.
I am having a problem with responsive scaling.
After integrating the animation into a responsive html page made in Dreamweaver I tested it on various browsers.
When I scale the browser window down the animation scales responsively with
the browser. When I scale it back up, it stays stuck at the same size.
If I pass the the threshold for the tablet layout, then resize it back to
the desktop size, the animation disappears entirely, requiring the page
to be reloaded to bring it back.
Has anybody else run into this problem and
if so is there a known fix?
Cheers

Hi Devendra.
How are you today?
It is doing it on a page I am currently working on, however I noticed that
it also does it on the last site I worked on.
Here is a link. If you resize the window down and then back up you
will see that it does not resize. The site I am working on at the moment
is structured differently, so when I pass the tablet threshold in the fluid-grid
layout the animation usually disappears when resizing back to the desktop threshold.
Here is the link to the live site.

Thanks for getting back.

Scaling to fit browser window?

Hi Everyone; I'm new to Captivate (specifically Captivate 4) , and I have what I know must be a rather dumb question, but I've spent two hours looking for the answer, and I can't find it. I have my project scaled to a custom width of 768 wide by 576 tall. How in the heck do I set the publish settings so that the output HTML knows to scale the darned browser window to exactly fit my output (no empty space around it)? I know I can go in through HTML and probably fix it there, butI'm just not that old school anymore. I expect the darned app to do that for me in the publishing process. Help.

Hi there
Although it isn't exactly recommended, one way to make things always fit the browser window is to simply link to the SWF and not the associated HTML page.
If you open the SWF it will simply scale to whatever dimension is largest to fit the browser. (If it's taller than wide, it will always fill the browser from top to bottom but not left to right. Or if it's wider than tall, the opposite. There isn't a way I'm aware of to coax it to simply fill the entire space.)
Cheers... Rick

Flash Full Browser Window & Scaling Question

Hi all, I am trying to develop a site that will be able to
have the entire browser screen a flash movie. Also, how do I scale
it so that the image in the middle stays the same size but the
background scales depending on how far you drag the browser window.
It is very popular in Flash design now, and I just cant seem to get
it to work for me. Below are a few examples of what I am trying to
achieve. Thanks in advance.
http://www.matthewcross.uk.com/
http://www.jimkorpi.com/main.php
http://www.gregnatale.com/site2.html
http://www.jimherrington.com/load.html

Hmm. I had a look at all 4 links to the sites you posted.
VERY COOL sites. I shall be watching this thread closely 'cause
this is what I'm trying to develop. I'm busy trying to re-design my
photography website in Flash and have the same problem... I cannot
get it to scale 100% of all browsers - only the resolution it was
designed at (in this case 1024x678. Even so, when I import the HTML
file from Flash to Dreamweaver, it has a invisible border of a cm
or so around the edge of the screen so the graphics don't extend to
100% of the browser.
Many thanks in advance

Can't Flex apps scale to fit browser window?

This has been brought up a couple of times, but seems to be a
mystery: How does one scale all content to fit the browser window,
preserving aspect ratio, and centering the content vertically or
horizontally (depending on whether the window aspect ratio is less
than or greater than the content aspect ratio)?
Since Flash is vector-based, I would have thought this would
be straightforward and encouraged!
Some information in an earlier post, plus experimentation on
my part, has yielded a bizarre and inflexible partial solution -
using StageScaleMode, and sizing the app's base container to
exactly 500x375 pixels, I can get content that scales with
the window size and doesn't have mismatched margins (though I
haven't figured out how to center it yet). In addition, there are
ugly scaling artifacts (look at the drop-shadows as you change the
browser window size).
Again, not being a Flash programmer, I baffled that this
isn't better supported, but I have to admit, most of the Flash apps
I've seen in the wild seem to all be fixed at some ridiculous size
like 640x480 or something. Are there some serious bugs here, or am
I missing something? Is there a better approach?
Here's a simple, complete, example (based on an example from
an earlier thread, but simplified a good bit):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx='
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml'
pageTitle="Resize Test"
layout="absolute" autoLayout="false"
addedToStage="event.currentTarget.stage.scaleMode =
StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL"
>
<mx:Style>
VBox {
cornerRadius: 4;
borderStyle: solid; border-color: #000000; borderSize: 1;
horizontalAlign: center; verticalAlign: middle;
dropShadowEnabled: true;
</mx:Style>
<mx:VBox width="500" height="375"
backgroundColor="#808080"
paddingTop="20" paddingBottom="20" paddingLeft="20"
paddingRight="20">
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%"
backgroundColor="#808000">
<mx:Label text="This is some text" fontSize="12"
width="128" textAlign="center"/>
<mx:Button label="Button"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>

Yeah, I was using "bitmap" to mean raster graphics, whether
the actual source be jpg, png or what have you.

Another reason I thought of why resizing does not result in
rescaling by default:
HTML and JSP applications don't rescale when you change the
browser size. Just go to hotmail or msn and check. They reposition.
Flex applications are intended to behave the same way but with RIA
capabilities. That is probably the more likely explanation than
bitmaps merely not scaling well. Anyway, this behaviour was a
thought-out decision and I happen to agree with it. By the way,
older Flash applications
do rescale to fit the window by default.
Exactly! That's the big problem, in my view, with the
HTML/JPG based web, and is what a vector-based solution
(discounting raster graphics) should solve.
Firefox, and now IE7, have features to allow you to scale web
pages to overcome, in a stop-gap way, this problem. IE even scales
images and Flash apps, though some Flash suffers problems when
scaled. Firefox does not (yet?) scale images or Flash along with
the other content. Flash-based Elmo games at sesamestree.org, at
640x480, look pretty stupid on my 42" 1920x1080 LCD (played by my
3-year old, not me!), but at least I can now (try) to scale them up
with IE7 for him.
I do not believe this was a thought-out decision, it's just
inertia from the bad old ways of doing things. There should be a
working option to easily scale content to the browser window, and
if Flex doesn't provide one, Microsoft certainly is going to (with
WPF/E) as they have with WPF. I'm not a big MS fan, but I think
they get the way things are going with the proliferation in the
range of screen resolutions and sizes that web content is being
displayed on.
That said, I realize there is more to dealing with different
screen sizes than just scaling - you may have to change the amount
of content on the screen, dependent on what the subject is.

But it still doesn't address what should happen when the image goes
beyond the original size. I know you're only using vector graphics
so it's not an issue for you.
Yep, raster graphics are troublesome. Worst case, a beautiful
picture frame grows to surround the image as one zooms beyond its
original size (insert smiley icon of choice here)

Finally to get back on the main topic:
if SWFLoader isn't working well, you could programatically do
the same thing. Have a sub-contaier inside the application
container which adjusts its scale accordingly to the size of the
parent application container. I have done this myself with the
Image class for zooming in and out from images (ironically 1000px+
images which were displayed at much smaller sizes).
<Application resize="adjustSize()"
creationComplete="adjustSize()" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0"
paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0">
<Script>
private function adjustSize():void {
var newScaleX = this.width/content.width
var newScaleY = this.height/content.height
content.scaleX = newScaleX;
content.scaleY = newScaleY;
</Script>
<Box id="content" borderStyle="none" width=400 height=300
/> 
</Application>
Something along the lines of the above should definitely
work. I am just basing it off my own previous code. You may have to
be careful of borders and padding if you decide to add them.
Whether it works better than the other suggestions you'll have to
decide.
Thanks for the code, and I'll try it. I'm new to Flex, and so
I'm still struggling with some things (such as when objects are
available for manipulation).

How can i get my movie to expand the browser window?

hi everyone,
thanks for checking out my post...
i want to create a fullscreen site like www.danwheldon.com or
www.highlandspring.com where the movie expands to the whole of the
browser window.
ive made my movie 1024x768 and just copied the html source
from the pages just to test it but my movie just appears as
1024x768 in the top left of the screen and doesnt reach to the far
corners.
when that didnt work i checked out loads of tutorials and
spent a whole day trying to figure out how to do it but to no
avail.
does anybody have a clue what im doing wrong?
thank you very much and i hope to hear from you.
all the best,
mark

Hi Mark,
First thing: in the HTML tab of the publish settings, set the
dimensions to percent and choose 100 for width and height.
Depending on your content, you might then need to play around
with the scaling of the objects on stage. There's some info in the
online help about this:

Add option to open swf in new browser window

Hello,
I have a small animation on a webpage. The properties are to
small to view all details. Can I add functionality to this swf that
the user can open the swf file into a new browser window. This
allows then for scaling to what ever size is appropriate.
Any suggestions??
Thanks!

Hi,
I hope I understood your question correctly, if so my suggestion may be helpful. Otherwise I think it's nearly the same what paul writes, I only made clear my proposal in a website for you, first a photo:
and here is the link: http://www.goldschmiede-blumberg.de/pdf/adob_pdf.php.
Note 1: "Ausgabe 9" und "ein Mausklick hier genügt" are links!!
Note 2: " Um pdf-Dateien ...." Means: To read pdf files, you need the free Adobe Reader. The current version you can download from the Adobe website.
Look at it's source code.

Need help to open a blob from a report into another tab or browser window.

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for a bit of guidance on something I'm trying to do in Apex.
I have a report that contains a blob. Users can click on the link to open it in same browser. I also know how to make it download if they click the link. But what I really want to do is to click the link and open the blob in another tab or browser window.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Opening New Browser window for click event on an image

hi all,
I want someone to help me out solving the problem of opening
a new browser window on the mouse click event of an image or a
button etc.... The new window would contain the datagrid details
from the main window, but in an expanded form. If at all there is a
solution, I even want to know whether there is anyway for sizing
the poped up window,because I dont want the new poped up window to
cover the entire screen.
For getting better idea of my problem, the best example I
could give is the popup window that appears when we click on the
preview button while posting the message to the forum.
Someone please do help me out in this regard.
Thanks,
amar.

I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
popup.

Targeting url hyperlink to blank browser window

Hi everyone,
I have an indesign file and have created some hyperlinks that go to specific URLs. After I export to pdf the file is uploaded and is embedded in a browser. When this happens, the problem is that when the hyperlink is clicked, the destination page opens in the same browser window, so I wondered if there was a way to customise the link in Indesign so that it will open in a blank browser window once the pdf file is within the browser. I know I would have to use target="_blank" but I don't know if there's a way to add this within ID.
I wondered if anyone has had this scenario and whether there's any solution?
Once again, I appreciate any advice.

There's the APex javascript function you can use html_PopUp - you can use it in the button's URL Target:
google it to get more details - you can specify the new window name e.g. myWindow and window size etc
javascript:html_PopUp('http://www.google.com','myWindow');

When I have multiple browser windows open - but in the "minimized" mode - and I want to open up one of them for viewing, ALL of the windows automatically open as well. How do I prevent this annoying function. I cannot find it anywhere in the options.

This does not appear to be a system issue, but rather a functional aspect of the browser windows. E.g., if I have 7 browser windows open to different sites... and all are Minimized, and I decide to open one to study, THEY ALL POP OPEN automatically. I am using Firefox v3.6.8 on Windows 7. This is an annoying behavior of the browser, and I am sure it can be somehow "turned off" but cannot determine how to do that. I have looked through all options. I am not a techie, but have reasonable proficiency with software apps.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

How do i control an external movie in a separate browser window?

i am creating a website for a band, with an mp3 player. i
want to be able to make an mp3 player that pops up in a separate
browser window. the mp3 player would have a "playlist" that can be
dynamically changed from the main window, which gives a list of
albums & tracks to choose from. the model for this is
Rhapsody's web interface.
so, how would i go about creating & dynamically changing
the playlist (while music is playing) across multiple browser
windows? the "playlist" would be an array of references to mp3s, i
guess-- so is there a way to pass events & variables across the
windows?

How do I make my website fit in all size browser windows?

Hi there,
I should start off by saying that I am very new to web design, and have very limited knowledge of CSS and HTML. I understand what they are and the nature of what they do, I'm just not code savvy.
Now that that's out of the way, I've been designing/attempting to build a website using Dreamweaver. I have all of the components and layout that I want designed and ready to go, but I desperately need help with translating that into Dreamweaver. I've been researching information all over the web, but with one person suggesting one thing and another suggesting something completely different I'm afraid my brain is about to melt.
Here's what I've done so far:
Because I want everything fully customized and to use a less common font style, I saved everything from the graphics, photos, and links as .png files. I then inserted each of those images into an AP Div Tag in Dreamweaver and arranged them appropriately. That's absolutely all I've done. It works great, except I have no idea how to configure everything so the site layout shows up centered in any size browser window, instead of sitting awkwardly in the corner.
Here's a link to what currently exists: http://ikikatawares.com
I've read dozens of articles and forum responses about building tables, but I'd like to avoid that since to me they seem clunky and kind of a hassle to deal with. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.
Beth

You need to put only the bold part into your code.
Immediately after your starting <body> tag add in
<div id="wrapper">
and immediately before your ending </body> tag add in
</div>
Then at the end of your css, you currently have...
#apDiv10 .navBarLinks .navBarLinks {
font-weight: bold;
Change that to...
#apDiv10 .navBarLinks .navBarLinks {
font-weight: bold;
#wrapper {
     position:relative;
     width:1005px;
     margin:0 auto;
