Set stage size?

Is there a way to have the stage size change during this one
section that is vertically longer? I'd prefer not to have the html
scrollbar through the whole site, but I need overflow to show for
this one page of the Flash website (website is one long timeline
with labeled frames for each of the pages)
Thanks to all the smarties!

in a manner of speaking you are correct jp - you *can* use
the onResize event of the Stage class to adjust the size of the
stage to the browser window or table, you *can* also 'scale' the
content of the stage through publishing and code, on-the-fly
durring runtime in a similar manner. however that is not what the
halo's problem relates to, he wants to change the stage only during
one portion of the site navigation, so unless the entire site was
built dynamically, and any other page content was present, it would
be problematic to scale the contents 'all' to the height of the MC
in question. a better solution for the issue as he describes it is
to use a scrollpane window, as i'd mentioned.

  • If the stage size is set to 640x480 then...

    This may seem like a dumb question, but if I set the stage to
    640x480, then shouldn't the testing of the flash piece be displayed
    at that size as well? Its almost a different size every time I test
    the file (ctrl+enter).
    What gives?
    Yes I have some clips that are larger in width than the stage
    size but should that cause the player to be opened larger than the
    specified stage size?
    Thanks for the input.

    Never heard of this problem before - do you have your prefs
    set to display your tested movie in tabs?

  • Edit stage size without effecting elements position.

    Question.  Can you change the size of your stage, say smaller than what you started with, so that when you move your elements to the new position of the stage the motion paths do get messed up because you moved everything?
    I have a "full" page layout that I would like to cut in half but the stage jumps to a "middle" point and when I try to move all my elements, some with motion paths, it increases the distance of the path and destroys it.  I don't see any way of locking the paths to move an element and I have 23 elements with paths to move so moving each would suck.
    I know Edge is basically in Beta 24, 7 because it's still not flushed out anywhere near where it could be.  If they just allowed you to adjust the stage size by locking a region kinda like page size in Photoshop or adjusting the page like in Illustrator with cropping.
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan.

    Hi Colin,
    Thanks for the fast reply.
    I guess I checked fullscreen when creating the project, however, when setting fullScreen to false (and uncommenting the still commented node?!) in de descriptor file I get the following compile error:
    Error occurred while packaging the application:
    /private/var/folders/gv/gv-j1H1UFJ4olvFpGwVTVk+++TI/-Tmp-/AOT1309729499262/Box2DiPad-app.x ml(109): error 103: application.initialWindow.fullScreen is an unexpected element/attribute
    User error somewhat or bug?
    ... Rats! In case anyone messes up like me: The fullscreen node gets rewritten all the way at the bottom of the initialWindow section. So it needs to be changed there....
    Is there anyone who can shed some light on AIR 2.7 update progress?
    Thanks,
    Manno

  • Stage size for a Flash website?

    I am taking a beginners Flash course and our final project is to create a movie/website in Flash. 100% Flash based. In a previous course, I made an HTML site. For this project, I am recreating that website in Flash. But what should the stage size be? That is where I am stuck. I don't know what a normal Flash site size should be to fit the screen like a normal HTML site. Can anyone help me here with this please? I already know to havethe dimentions set to 100% and 100%. But for some reason, when I use Control > Test movie, it never seems to fit right. It's either crunched together to much or spread out to far to where the header and footer are partially off the screen. I've seen posts on the web from years ago that said 950x550 is the size needed. Is that still the case? Because it just doesn't look right. With HTML the page height would adjust to the content and it would automatically scroll if needed. But Flash doesn't seem to do that. It seems that you are stuck with 1 size and you have to work around it. But I don't know what size that is supposed to be. Sorry for the long rant. Just getting really frustrated. I'm using Flash CS4 if that helps any as well.

    if you want to use 100%x100% and not have your display objects resize, set your stage's scaleMode to noscale.  check the stage properties for your actionscript version for exactly how to do that.

  • Maximum Stage Size Possible in FP 10

    Does anyone know what the max size is in FP 10 for the stage?
    When I scale a swf larger than 4080 I get a black line at the
    bottom below my content. Can anyone reproduce this?

    It is true that the Flash IDE restricts stage size to 2880.
    My question is really how large does the flash player support
    scaling content?
    If I have a swf that I created in the IDE at 100x100 and then
    I open it in the player and tell the player to scale to 5000x5000
    it appears that FP 10 doesn't complain. FP 9 and earlier did
    complain by not rendering content past a certain pixel boundry.
    Flex seems to have an issue if you have a gradient set on the
    mx:application component (I haven't tested others yet), which is
    probably the issue with the 4096 single bitmap boundary.
    The crux of the matter is that I am getting artifacts on the
    screen when I scale the player to a very large size that has a flex
    swf loaded. The artifacts are not part of any content that I load.
    So either they are caused by the flex framework components or the
    flash player itself.

  • Flash CC Brush Tool abruptly stops drawing when stage size is small

    When using the Brush Tool, I'm having an issue that the stroke I'm drawing will abrupty cut off at a certain point on the screen (roughly halfway down the monitor, it doesn't relate to the canvas position or any coordinates).  This seems to happen when I have the Stage size set to a smaller size (64 x 64 pixels for example).  I've been able to reproduce the same behavior on multiple files, and on both a Windows 8.1 machine and a Windows 7 machine, both using the up-to-date version of Flash CC.  Both machines are dual monitor, I'm not sure if that plays a factor in this.
    To reproduce: 
    1.  Create a new FLA in Flash CC and set the stage size to 64 x 64 pixels.
    2.  Use the Brush Tool and attempt to draw from the top to the bottom of the screen (zoom level and position on the canvas does not matter, as long as your cursor is going from near the top of your monitor to the bottom of your monitor).
    3.  The stroke will abruptly cut off mid-drawing at a certain point on the screen, roughly half-way down.  You can continue to draw and move upwards and it will reappear when it crosses this barrier again.
    This does not happen if the stage size is set to something larger (640 x 480 for example).  This also does happen in Flash CS5 or CS6, and have only noticed this happening in Flash CC.
    This is happening using the mouse for drawing, and also happened when I tested it on a different PC with a Wacom tablet attached.
    Is this happening for others as well, and is there any fix for this behavior?  (aside from always using a large stage size)

    Hi All,
    Just want to update you all that the latest Flash CC 2014 release(14.0.0.110) has the fix for this drawing issue.

  • Stage Size Issues in Director 11

    Is there a maximum stage size in Director 11? I have set my
    stage size to be 6144 X 768, in order to span 6 monitors for a
    theatre project. I have used 3 monitors before, with no problem in
    early versions of Director. Everything works fine while working on
    the movie, but when i quit Director, I am unable to open director
    again, unless I delete all the preferences and start with a single
    monitor stage size.

    IIRC there is a legacy bitmap dimension limitation of around
    4096, so I
    wouldn't be surprised if the stage also has something
    similar.
    You could develop separate windows (MIAW files) and display
    them at
    particular locations/dimensions

  • One Size Fits All? (Stage size for best display on iOS and Android)

    I'm beating my head against the wall trying to find the one proper stage size that will accommodate all iOS devices and all Android devices adequately.
    I've been following Colin Holgate's informative posts and am using the   stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;  approach.
    However, I'm not sure what I should be setting the dimensions of my stage to, as the suggestions I found of Colin's seem to be prior to the release of iPhone 5 and the iPad retina display.
    Can anyone recommend a stage size that would work best in trying to accommodate the wide variety of devices out there?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Mike

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't this an easier way to place a button in the top right (assuming center point is in top left of button)?
    button.x = stage.stageWidth - button.width;
    button.y = 0;
    edit: I suppose that doesn't apply to show_all. I'm used to using
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    We've done this with banners at the top and bottom. If you design a banner for a specific aspect ratio, you can do something like
    banner.width = stage.stageWidth;
    banner.scaleY = banner.scaleX;
    This causes the banner to fill the width of the screen and change height proportionately. If you want to have more control over the elements in the banner, something like
    banner.background.width = stage.stageWidth;
    var newHeight:int = stage.stageHeight / 8;
    banner.background.height = stage.stageHeight / 8;
    banner.buttonBack.height = newHeight;
    banner.buttonBack.scaleX = banner.buttonBack.scaleY;
    banner.buttonBack.x = banner.buttonBack.y = 0;
    banner.title.height = newHeight / 2;
    banner.title.scaleX = banner.title.scaleY;
    banner.title.x = banner.buttonBack.x + banner.buttonBack.width * 1.2;
    banner.title.y = newHeight / 2;
    etc
    This might not be what you're looking for at all, but I find it works well for resizing.
    When asked to convert a fixed-size iPad app to one that dynamically resized for Android devices, we found it infeasible to completely recode the app in the time required, so we mixed dynamic resizing like above with throwing lots of objects into an empty MovieClip and scaling the MovieClip to fit the current stage size. This didn't hurt performance much, even when running graphics designed for the iPad's 2048*1536 retina display on much smaller screens.

  • Edge Animate Stage size in Dreamweaver fluid grid

    I have developed an animation and have almost everything scaling and resizing acceptably in a Dreamwaevr template...except the stage.
    In Edge animate I have a stage size that is 1212px x 400px. When the animation is viewed on a PC all the dimensions are fine, but when viewed in tablet or mobile phone, the vertical height remains at 400px... which leaves an enormous gap between the bottom of the animation and the next div.
    I have set the stage dimensions to %, and have turned on the "link width & height" switch, and the stage still does not respond in vertical height.
    How can I get the stage to respond vertically with a fluid grid layout in Dreamweaver?
    I also note that every time I open up a previously saved Edge Animate file, the stage automatically opens the file at 550x400px, instead of the correct dimension for that animation, so that I have to then reset the stage size to what is correct for that animation... ..any reason this may be so?
    Thanks,
    Glen.

    Thanks for your reply. You're right about most people not resizing their viewport during a session, but unfortunately the problem exists whether the screen is being resized or not. Refreshing the screen doesn't solve the problem.
    The width of the div adjusts to the width of the screen as expected and the Edge Animate composition inside it does too, but the height of the div doesn't adjust. As the animation gets smaller to fit the width, the height of the div that contains it remains the same, leaving empty space at the bottom of the div. What is needed is for the div to scale to fit the page width proportionally. Instead, only the width is adjusting.
    So I guess I need to know if there's either a way to force the div to scale proportionally or a way to tell it to adjust to the animation that it contains.

  • Bizarre Stage Size Issue

    Hello All,
    I am experiencing a rather bizarre issue. First let me say that I consider myself an experienced designer and am running Master collection CS4. (Yes I am ashamed that I don't have CS5 yet .)
    Here's the issue:
    I designed a web page in Photoshop, sliced it up and exported all of the slices. I pop over to Dreamweaver and built the page code using pure css, easy stuff. All of my pages in the site display perfectly down to the pixel except when I take out one jpg image out of the page and substitute it with a swf file of the exact dimensions.
    Safari, and IE display the page perfectly, FireFox breaks apart by 1 pixel. I am can't figure it out for the life of me. What I did was slice part of the page that had a image of the QuickTime player. I perfectly masked and sliced the "viewable" area of the QT player so I could drop in a swf file, easy stuff right? I just can't figure it out.
    The slice from Photoshop is 396 x 316 px. When I pop over to Flash I set my stage size to 396 x 316 px. I just don't get it. When I take the swf out and put the jpg back in it's perfect. It just doesn't make sense as they are the identical size. Anyone run into this?

    Hi Ricardo,
    for the W800 you have to set the canvas to 176x176px
    On the W810 you can use 176x220px when the browser runs in
    Fullscreen mode
    Not sure about the W550, but try 176x176 to start with and
    work your way up
    Best regards

  • IPhone / iPad universal publish stage size

    I've tried the iPhone & iPad publish setting to publish for both devices. My code is designed to detect the stage size and layout the content differently according to the dimensions. Whenever I use this publish setting though the app on both devices only acts as if the stage size is the one set in authoring. If I set it to 1024x768, that's how big it shows up on the iPod. If I set it to 480x320, that's how big it shows up on the iPad.
    Am I missing something in my code? Even if I'm not changing the orientation, do I still need to listen to a resize event and THEN do my basic setup?

    Hi, I think the stage size is a different property from the screen size?  The stage size stays the same no matter how it is scaled within the screen, so Stage.stageWidth etc will always give the same value.
    Have a look at System.Capabilities.screenResolutionX / screenResolutionY instead.
    Hope it helps,
    Peter

  • Lock stage size to movie's stage - What does this do?

    I thought it would make the projector window not resizable,
    but it doesn't.
    What else could this function possibly be for? (I did figure
    out how to
    make the projector non-resizable, via (the stage).resizable =
    FALSE. But
    this seems to work completely independantly from the "Lock
    stage size"
    setting in Publish settings.

    Let me try to explain in the easiest way possible.
    1. Reads the lines of the given file attached to the file pointer fp.
    2. If the first three characters of the read line is '***' and the date mainted in the
    block is not empty, the block date value is set to first 100 characters present in
    the read file line
    The above set of code would be repeated for the first 20 lines present in the file.
    3. If the file date in the block is null, then it is filled with some temp value.
    4. Store current year into variable v_temp_line
    5. If the value present in the block date is current year then do the following:
    a) obtain 16 characters from v_temp_line string starting from the position where
    current year starts. Ex. Let us take this string -
    ABCDEFG2006-07-07142325ABCDFS
    Here current year 2006 starts at 8. so this code will result in
    2006-07-07142325
    b) Then it is reformatting it to the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI'
    c) Converting the date into char with the format 'DD Mon YYYY HH24:MI'
    d) Stores the value
    6. Closes the file
    7. Calls the subroutine get_file_size if the obtained date is greater than the
    calculated date.
    On the whole what this code does is reading 20 lines of a file, obtains the date from the read line and if the read date is of current year, stores the value in block variables.
    I hope this explanation would be useful to you.

  • Dynamically change stage size on runtime

    Hi everyone,
    I need to change the stage size dynamically.
    When i try to do this............
    size_mc.onRelease = function(){
        trace(Stage.height);
        Stage.height += 100;
        trace(Stage.height);
    it comes always the current stage size.
    Thanks in advance

    You cannot change the width and height properties of the Stage using code--it must be done in the editor.  The width and height values can represent different things depending on the value you set for the scale mode, but you cannot reassign them to different values dynamically.
    The solution just offered to you is under the same rules, the stageWidth and stageHeight values cannot be assigned using code, but that code is AS3 code so it will not fit in your AS2 design in any case.
    The same goes for the followup offered in AS2.  You will notice the stage size is not being changed... it cannot be.  This is just a full screen design solution, but is not a soltuion to changing the stage size.  The stage size can only be changed manually in the authoring environment.  I don't know that the offering is answering what you are really trying to do, but it is not answering the titled task of dynamically changing the stage size

  • Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

    Hi All,
    How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
    I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
    Thnaks

    Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
    They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
    If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
    So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

  • How do you set the size / bounds of a waveform chart at run time?

    I have a plot area that I would like to fill with as many waveform charts as the user specifies (at run time). The "bounds" property is read only and I haven't noticed an additional "size" property for a waveform chart as there is for a button. Is there a way to set the size of a waveform chart at run time, and if not, why not? (Labview 6.1)

    Look at it a little more carefully, I suspect that your assumption is only half wrong. The property does only resize the plot area--LV resizes the frame to fit the resized plot on it's own.
    You'll need to bear this in mind when you're figuring-out what size to set the property to.
