[RESOLVED] Dynamically size stage and display area?

[flashpipe1]

I have a slideshow that loads from xml and fades in a variety of sizes of images in random positions. I'm trying to set it up so that the swf (which is in a div tag in an interface) will resize depending on the browser size and will use the NEW stage size to determine the random x/y positions of the images (without resizing them) and will skip any images that are too big for the stage size...

Any ideas if this is possible? Dynamically sizing and determining the "working area" of a swf based on the browser/div size??

THANKS!!!!

You may have to reload the movie then. This script shows how to resize the the movie according to the screen settings.

Something like this?

private function onStageResize(e:Event):void{
    var wid:int = stage.stageWidth;
    var ht:int = stage.stageHeight;
    var i:int = numChildren;
    
    while(i > 0){
        i--;
        with(getChildAt(i)){
            x = Math.random() * wid;
            y = Math.random() * ht;
            if(width > wid || height > ht) visible = false;
        }
    }
} 

Or were you thinking of moving everything relative to where it used to be?

WOOHOO!!! Thanks! I was able to use some of the samples and code from here to accomplish what I was trying to do. I ended up doing it in AS2 since my AS3 isn't up to par yet, and it's not perfect yet, but I've got images randomly appearing on the stage based on the size of the movie in the browser...mostly.

It works fine when I run the swf locally...works perfect...just the way I want.

When I run the html locally, I can't get the height of the div to scale even though I have height set to 100% (also tried it with a table)...any ideas? Seems to be stuck at around 200 pixels high. Attached zip with images, swf, html and xml

And, when I put it up online, it doesn't look like the locally run html and doesn't load any of the images?!

You can see it at:

I tried with and without flashobject.js, but can't seem to get the height to change with the browser window. Width seems to work fine...

Any ideas??

Here's the html:

<script type="text/javascript" src="flashobject.js"></script>
    
  <div align="center" id="flashcontent" style="width: 100%; height: 100%">
  
	
	 <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" height="100%" width="100%" name="if-header">
     <param name="movie" value="scaleStage.swf">
     <param name="quality" value="best">
     <param name="play" value="true">
<embed height="100%" name="if-header" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="scaleStage.swf" width="100%" quality="best" play="true">
</object>


	
  </div>

Thanks!!

EDIT - I figured out the local/web version by uploading the xml file JEESH!!! So, now my only problem is making the height of the movie variable...

Thanks!!!
