hi there, i’ve been trying to centre an external swf into a blank movieclip on the stage and having problems with it. the swf contains a text box with scrolling text in it and that’s where the problem lies…
it’s like flash sees the entire amount of text within the text box (ie if the scrolling box is 200px high but the amount of text within it is 500px high, it treats the swf as being 500px high). you can see an example at www.nishnish.com/lptest/test.htm. it loads fine, and you can click on ‘buy’ which is also fine, as soon as you resize the window though, the mc ‘jumps’ up.
i’m using a flash file purchased from flashden (no response when i asked for help from the author). also tried a simple version initially though and had the same problem (tried with external text file too and no joy). does anyone know if this is or is not possible?
the source flas are at: www.nishnish.com/lptest/main.fla, www.nishnish.com/lptest/home_nav.fla and www.nishnish.com/lptest/buy_nav.fla.
would really appreciate any thoughts, even if to say it can’t be done! thanks a lot:ne:
