Actually my goal is to use your script for a xml thumbnail gallery which is fueled and updated by a php script, that’s why I new the stage to be resized dynamically..

I go to bed, hoping for succeeding in making your class work.
Thanks again :) Please drop a comment if you have some new to help me :)

sorry but i have no idea of the classic Flash IDE. For me it sounds like you also copied the sourrounding “package{ … }” which isn’t allowed at that point.

In general you in deed need to import the the resize class, create an instance where you like and use the resize method.

cheers,

Sorry for being annoying, but your script may save my life :)

looks fine for me. I already posted the my bin-debug folder today, please look above. Here is my demo main application:

package{
 
	import com.nonstatics.swfSelfResize.swfSelfResize;
 
	import flash.display.Sprite;
 
	[SWF(frameRate="31", width="200", height="100", backgroundColor="0x008866")]
	public class swfSelfResizeTest extends Sprite{
 
		private var resize:swfSelfResize;
 
		/**
		 * constructor
		 */ 
		public function swfSelfResizeTest(){
			super();
 
			this.resize = new swfSelfResize();
			// resize to 100px height, 120px width
			this.resize.resize( 100, 120 );
 
			// add 50px / 30px height -> 180px height 
			this.resize.addHeight( 50 );
			this.resize.addHeight( 30 );
 
			// remove 40px width -> 80px
			this.resize.addWidth( -40 );
 
		}
 
	}
}

cheers,
Sebastian

My stage measures 560×10 px

I typed at the top of my code:
[code]import com.nonstatics.swfSelfResize.swfSelfResize;[/code]

(“swfSelfResize.as” is located in the appropriate directory written above)

Then I call it with:
[code]
var resizeInstance:swfSelfResize;
resizeInstance = new swfSelfResize();
resizeInstance.resize( 80,60 );
[/code]

I tested it online, but nothing happens…
Could you help me or upload .fla as example please

with my latest version i don’t have any problems. I don’t tested the earlier versions with Chrome 5.x ( wasn’t available that time ).

I put my latest version online. Also my bin-debug folder with example. So please test this.

Best regards,
Sebastian

first you have to get the values from XML. Thats done best via e4x (ECMA for XML – for example http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/222/1/Intro-to-E4X/Page1.html ).

Than you could use the stage object of your application – Application.stage / this.stage – which holds height and width values ( 1000 in your example ).

After this you have to resize the application html container ( done best with my solution above ;)
