resize text field on scale...

[Papa Rabbit]

This seems to be a tricky subject... Well maybe not trick or hard but I sure
haven't seen a good tutorial on it.


This is the situation: I have a movie with a text box, "logo" is the instance
name.
My HTML has the scale set to "Exact Fit" and the width = 100%

now this is the code I have:
[Q]Stage.scaleMode = "exactfit"
Stage.align = "TL";
setProperty("logo",_width, 265);
setProperty("logo",_height, 31.5);
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onResize = function () {
//resize background picture here
setProperty("logo",_width, 265);
setProperty("logo",_height, 31.5);
}
Stage.addListener(myListener);[/Q]

did I do something wrong?

And the problem is?

The text is still scaled, sorry...

I've tried also setting the text into and MC and setting init, but that doesn't work either...

Anyone know the key to keeping the same X&Y on scale?

The goal is to resize the movie, but NOT the text?

Exactly! :-)

Then your in for a major exercise ;-) The only way AFAIK is to calculate the
amount of scaling of the stage and then scale back the textfield
accordingly. Maybe someone else has a better solution; but this is the only
way I can think of.

That figures lol, so much for "K.I.S.S."

This is an area I've yet to jump into, can you show me some example AS for this situation? PLEASE...

just need it for the W values I know that much

[Papa Rabbit]

Tried it...

[AS]
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"
Stage.align = "TL";
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onResize = function () {
var x = Stage.width
setProperty ("statement", _width, (statement.width*x))
setProperty ("statement", _height, 12)
}
Stage.addListener(myListener);[/AS]

But now my MC vanishes...

Here's the new files...

I'm realy in a rush on this, so if any of you GURU's can lend a hand I'd
greatly appriciate it...

When you detect the stage resize, just call setSize() on your text box where
the parameters are based on the size of the stage.

You cant move or resize the component by setting the x,y coordinate
orsetting its width or height height properties, you must call move() or
setSize().

Stage.align = "TL";
_root.logo._width = 265.0
_root.logo._height = 31.5
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onResize = function () {
statement._x = Stage.width - statement._width - 10;
topTray._width = Stage.width;
}
Stage.addListener(myListener);


Thanks this works!
