i haven’t tried about this issue so far. But i’m pretty sure that the video adoption, without having access to the source might not work. At least there are the traditional way of embedding video and the so called stage video mechanism, which is rendered by the GPU.

I have found a way to move the fullscreen flash to a different monitor and resize the container window that is spawned by the browser. However the flash video will usually not adapt the new container window size. I was wondering if it would be possible to resize the flash video without having access to the html/flash source, say for example by a GreaseMonkey script.

Also I was wondering if I would have to account for the different aspect ratio when resizing the flash, or if the video will keep its aspect by itself.

I am a newbie to flash but I, and I believe many Linux users, would really appreciate your help in this.

cheers

sorry for the late reply. I overlooked some older comments and found them during email archiving.
Please try if the script is working anyhow, e.g. is the width changing ? Maybe there are also some css problems. The resize script has to resize the html container also. If there might be another sourrounding container which has a fixed width and doesn’t allow the flash container to resize, this might cause the problem.

cheers.

i overlooked some older comments. I’m sooo sorry for that.
If i’m understand your plans right this wouldn’t work because my script is only for a single swf file, not for one swf of multiple single movie clips. It just resizes the master swf file within the html page. So you have to trigger the resizing in the surrounding main swf, depeding on the different movie clips.

I am adding buttons dynamicly to make a accordion menu. The size should be 180, 600.
But the height is not going to the right size.
I am even using this to test:
resizeInstance.resize(180, 600);
But it is resizing to something like: 180 x 200

It may sound as a stupid, but I’m a flash newbye and I’m a bit confused. The website I’m creating has different section heights and I would like to resize the web page depending on them. Every section is a movieclip.

I guess that I have to:
- set the flash document height to the sections maximum height
- at the beginning of every section (movieclip) add an actionscript frame with

import com.nonstatics.swfSelfResize.swfSelfResize;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var resizeInstance:swfSelfResize;
resizeInstance = new swfSelfResize();
resizeInstance.resize([mc_height],[mc_width]);

- copy the swfSelfResize.swf file in my folder
- in my HTML embedding page set swfobject.embedSWF height to homepage height

Is everything all right? Am I missing anything? Sorry again for the simplicity of the question. Thanks in advance.

of course this is possible. But this also requires an additional JavaScript call. Somthing like that:

   this.resize = new swfSelfResize();
   // resize to 100px height, 120px width
   this.resize.resize( 100, 120 );
 
   if( ExternalInterface.available ){
      ExternalInterface.call( "moveSWF" );
   }
 
   // 	do sth. more

Now you have to define a JavaScript method moveSWF which does the repositioning of the DIV-Container:

function moveSWF(){
   var node = document.getElementById( 'idOfFlashDivContainer' );
   node.style.top = '0px';
   node.style.left = '0px';
}

The Flash container must be “position:absolute”. ( This is written from mind and not testen and not complete – if there are any small errors in it ).

cheers,
