How to tell full screen Flash elements to go to the corners?

Hey all --

I've been searching around trying to find an answer to this and have been unsuccessful.

I'm trying to figure out how this site: http://www.cando.com/ :was able to have the four corner elements know to always bounce themselves to the corners of the browser window or full screen. I've been able to do something similar on load, but not dynamically, resizing in real time. I have a client site I'm designing in which this functionality would be quite excellent, but can't seem to figure it out. I'm assuming this is being done in AS2, not AS3, because the html code is only calling the Flash 8 plug-in.

Any ideas would be very, very welcome!

Thanks,

Symphy

I'd like to know that too!

Let's hope someone smart answers us!

(waits)...

:)

hey guys I have got the flash file to this, its a template I downloaded created in action script 2.0. Message me if u want it.

Cheers

you need create an on Resize event whether actionscript 2 or 3 and listen to the stage changes. When the user resizes the browser your object should be replaced according to the dynamic values ( stage.stageHeight- 10 (bottom of the stage), or stage.stageWidth/2 ( centre of new stage ) ) etc.
You can watch this tutorial to get the basic idea http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=31
or search youtube for stageResize flash tutorials
hope this helps

Big up! I have noticed a lot sexy flash sites have a full screen view's. Im trying to create a flash site with a dynamic background image that re size's when the browser is enlarged. But done in as2.

I need to create something like this www.captiveminds.co.uk or like this www.interpolnyc.com

If anyone could help that would be great.

This is the code I'm working from at the moment. The mc is called "bg".

In this part of the code its doing its job, but it's only resizing the background when you refresh the page. So I need the width to resizing the when corner is being expanded and if possible to not have the image to distort either.

// ***Stage aligned top left

Stage.align = "TL";

// *** Stop the stage from scaling with the browser window.

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
stop ();

// initiate postitions and scaling values for objects

bg._height = Stage.height;
bg._width = Stage.width;

bg._y = Stage.height/2
bg._x = Stage.width/2

bg._width = Stage.width
bg._height = Stage.height

bg._x = 0
bg._y = 0

//create a listner that checks to see if the browser window is resized

sizeListener = new Object();
sizeListener.onResize = function() {

// change movieclip properties when the window is resized

bg._height = Stage.height;
bg._width = Stage.width;

bg._y = Stage.height/2
bg._x = Stage.width/2

bg._width = Stage.width
bg._height = Stage.height

bg._x = 0
bg._y = 0

};


Cheers hope to hear soon. Until then have a happy Christmas and Happy New Year!
