Hey everyone!
Ive been visiting the Kirupa forum for many years, and just signed up!
I am an intermediate/moderately experienced AS3 programmer - however, I am having a few issues with resizing my background mc (mcBG), that contains a mask with bounds which go beyond the dimensions of the stage, to display correctly.
I know my script works (well, at least this much) so that if a static image of 1000px * 800px is placed inside the mcBG movieclip, the background fills the screen as intended.
However, if I change that static image (inside mcBG) to be either:
[LIST]
[]a movieclip (mcAnimMask) which contains an animated mask (which has elements larger than the 1000px * 800px bounds, eg: 4500px * 3000px) or,
[]2 layers (mask, and animated layer (dimensions: eg 4500px * 3000px) - framed tweening)…
[/LIST]
the resize script resizes mcBG to be the greatest dimensions of the files contained within it - ie: it does not fit the screen correctly, in fact it appears to be about 60% smaller than the original (which should be 1000px * 800px).
Its pretty difficult to explain, but if you can understand ^ that, and have a solution that you are willing to share, I would really appreciate it. (If there even is a solution…). I will post a copy of the fla file if needed.
Thanks for reading.
James.
