Stage size versus imported file size

I am new to the flash universe ... I am running Flash CS3 Pro on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
Why is the stage size larger or file size always smaller when I import a file into Flash.
I create a new project (Action Script 3.0), change the Stage size to 125 px x 162 px. Then import jpg images at that same pixel size, but they never fill the entire stage.
Any help would be great, thanks.

When you alter (reduce) an image's size in Flash it can display the wavy lines. What you might try to overcome that is to right click the image in the library, select Properties, and in the image properties panel select the option to allow smoothing.
As far as what is going on with Phtoshop not creating the images to the dimensions you specify, you may need to check the manual. I have never had a problem, though I never really used Photoshop much. Try using Fireworks if you have it and see how it fairs.

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

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)

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

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.

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?

Stage size sees added sides when published.

Hi,
Flash CS5
Action Script 3
My stage size is 1684 width x 1322 height. When I test movie or publish I see the movie fill my monitor (1024 x 768) with white areas left and right beyond map border. Panning the map sees it visible beyond these side borders. Not as required.
The top edge has no white margin as per design and thats ok. map panned upwards doesnt show beyond that border. The bottom border has beyond it a white fill rectangle on a layer over the map, and on top of this is a key. map pans under this and is not visible as required.
Why is flash giving me space left and right ?
This file will sit within a webpage and I want any panning of map to see no map show beyond the left and right borders.

Probably the equivalent is to listen to Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE

Flash stage size problem

Am using Flash Pro CS5 and although the documentation for Flash Player 10 at the link below
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/size-limits-swf-bitmap-files.html
says that the max is 4050 by 4050.
We are trying to run a swf in a monitor array of 3840 by 4320 but in the editing of the document properties the limit is only 2880 by 2880.
Has this been fixed in FLash CS6?
Does anyone have any advice?
We are stumped.

Originally were using FP11.2 and then tried FP11.1 and went back to FP11.2 but couldn't load the swf at full stage with either. We can load a 1920 by 2160 stage but it doesn't look to be the right size - but were able to load the swf with the smaller stage size.(That is a separate issue though - the non-exactness of the stage dimensions.)
We are attempting to output to a two by four monitor array aiming for a 3840 (1920 x 2) by 4320 (1080 x 4) and the large stage size should be possible according to the specs but no go.

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
David Mannl

Ecard suggested stage size?

I'm trying to make ecards and I'm new to Flash so please bear with me. Does anybody have a suggested size for the stage? Which in my case is really the card viewing size.
I have one that's almost done and the stage size is 700x800 px. But I'm starting to worry if that's going to look too small? To change it, will be a lot of work - there's animation, imported Jpegs etc. As far as I can tell, in order for it to look correct in larger dimensions I will need to basically create it again from the ground up. So, I'd really like to get an idea of what the optimal pixel dimensions would be for ecards to run on multiple platforms.
Any thoughts, anyone? Please help. I really want to do this and I don't feel like I can move ahead until I get the viewing size correct. I don't even mind redoing the card. I just want my future cards to be the correct size. I don't want to have to come back and redo them all.
By the way, the cards are being made in Flash. The site itself will be created in DreamWeaver.
Thanks so much,
Sarah

Sorry Ned, I've never done this. I took a look at the code and I couldn't find any reference to the dimensions of the movie. The closest thing I could find was this -
<object class="fla-replace" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://ak.jacquielawson.com/product/cardswf/3277201.swf?cont=1&hdn=0&hdr=Happy Valentine's Day!&pv=3277201&code=" wmode="transparent" width="100%" height="100%" bgcolor="#A87077" allowscriptaccess="always">
I'm probably looking at the wrong thing. When the code comes up, how do I know which part of it refers to the ecard dimensions and not the rest of the web page? Most of it's pretty intuitive but I'm not familiar with code and this part is the only thing that seemed to address the dimensions of the card itself.

How to change the stage size in premiere pro cs3?

Can anyone tell me, how to change the stage size of video in premiere pro cs3?

Hi,
First of all thanks for your quick reply...I tried what you said, but the size is not changing because the area is inactive...

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.

Loader and Stage-Size

I'm loading a .swf (flash game) (719 x 480) into a new .fla that is bigger (1280, 720) than the dimensions of the .swf
The game appears to load well, but when I start playing it, I realize that the game is messed up because it is actually running in the dimensions of the .fla
Can somebody tell me how to constrain the loaded .swf to 719 x 480?
NOTE: I can't change the .swf game file's coding
And the .fla stage-size has to stay the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!!

Theres no way to have a box/window inside my .fla that essentially makes the .swf work in it's own little stage? I just need something that will constrain/mask the images that keep coming out of the enlarged .swf game.
I need the targets to all stay inside that background, as it normally is when I play the .swf outside the .fla

Changing Stage size at runtime

I have been poking around and not finding any info on this.
What I want to do is change the height of the STAGE (not a
MovieClip) based
on which view I'm showing the customer at a particular time.
For instance...
I may have a thumbnail and a detail view for a product. I
don't need a lot
of screen real estate to show the thumbnail view, but I'd
like to make the
swf taller if the user switches to the detail view.
I don't simply want to make the swf taller by default because
I'll have a
ton of unused whitespace in thumbnail view, which will look
stupid.
I shouldn't have a problem with the JavaScript to change the
height
properties in the HTML tags for the Flash object, but not
really sure if/how
to do the other part in Flash. Everything I've seen so far
has been
read-only properties.
Thanks,
Chris.

did you change stage size?
how can you do this without javascript?

SCN document: 'Insert Image' greyed out at a certain stage/size

I noticed a similar issue likeTammy has reported in discussion/thread .Cannot insert or upload an image
After having inserted text and several images to a draft document, the 'Insert Image' icon became greyed out at a certain stage/size.
I did some tests following document Solution for Error: Cannot Insert Images on SCN Content, but the the behavior remained the same. Only after having deleted the last inserted image in the document > Save Draft > Edit again the 'Insert Image' icon was not greyed out anymore which is argueing for a size restriction.
The same html coding as in the document put into a blog does not grey out the ‘Insert Image’ icon. But I found out that after clicking on the ‘Insert Image’ icon > ‘From your Computer’ tab ‘Browse’ is greyed out. Strange and argueing against a size limit is, when I choose ‘Uploaded Images’ I can select images and still insert them into the blog.
Does someone have similar experiences / can assist.
Thank you, Barbara

We have a recent discussion in SCN support.
He has same problem. Have a look into the discussion Issue with 'Insert Image' button while creating document in SCN
I suggest to split you document into two part as part 1 and part 2.
