Full Screen background Question

pucca017 · 01-28-2007, 07:18 PM

Hello to every1.
Im making a website that will fill all the browsers space. The background is a landscape and is not going to be moving at all. Depending on the resolution size of the user, the background needs to be smaller or bigger. I dont know if I need one image with different size for each resolution or if is something else I need to do.

The thing that worries me the most is how big the image has to be in order to fulfill the largest or biggest resolution.

Anyone knows whats the size of the browser without counting the tools bar and the status bar??

PD. The full screen is inside the browser. No popups or nothing will be added.

pucca017 · 01-30-2007, 11:09 PM

if the whole thing is in a flash .swf/projector then on fullscreen it will all scale to that size??

Sorry to bother you, but My english is broken. please check this site

as you can see he made the flash to fit in all the browser, regardless the user resolution so the flash "adapts" to the user resolution. I know some of the mc_symbols have another script in order to move when the user minimize the browser but thats not the point. I just need to know this:
1. How to make my flash to fill the browser like that.
2. If im using a background wallpaper, how big has to be? or I need to use several copies of the same image but with different sizes to acomplish my goal?

Thank you so much for your interest in answering my question.

ok...this is a old one... But, I think I had the same problem as describe here:

you want to have a full browser page image background? and all the other elements (button, movie clic, whatever) not be resized like this:

http://www.aurelienbercon.com/fullbrowser/

in this example, I have:
- a MovieClip that contains the background , instance name : “backg”
- A MovieClip that contains a image (the turntable) positioned in the middle, instance name: “turn”

Here is the ActioScript:

//this function fills the background with the image)-----------------------------
function fillBG() {
//backg must have the same size of the stage (browser page
backg._width = Stage.width;
backg._height = Stage.height;
//…and it has to be positioned in the middle
backg._x = Stage.width / 2;
backg._y = Stage.height / 2;
}
//I call the function
fillBG();
//I create an object that be a listener (it will “listen” if the stage is resized)-----------------
var stageL:Object = new Object();
//if the stage is resized: I call the function “fillBG” again (to resize the background) and I repositioned the “turn” image in the middle
stageL.onResize = function() {
fillBG();
turn._x = Stage.width / 2;
turn._y = Stage.height / 2;
}
//I attach the listener to the stage
Stage.addListener(stageL);

when publishing the HTML, “Dimensions” should be in “Percent” and “flash alignment” : “left” and “Top”

Then open the HTML file in a text editor and change the body tag by:

<body bgcolor="#000000" scroll="no" bottommargin="0" rightmargin="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">

(This will fill totally the html page)

I hope it will be useful for someone, even if the post is 2 years old.

By the way: I was helped by this tutorial:
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=31 (called “Full Browser Flash”)

I spent most of the day on it, so I wanted to share it with someone

My movie clip still will not consistently fill the window. What might I be doing wrong? http://www.invisiongrafix.com/samples/IG/
