External swf "disappears" on window re-size

1

Hey All :

I have a main swf file. In this file, you can click on a link, which stops a background swf from playing and also loads an external swf into a blank movie clip. All works well except for two problems:

  1. The external swf is not loading where it should be, but off kilter. I think this is registration issue, haven’t figured out the particulars.

  2. More importantly… upon resizing the external swf “disappears” into the ether. I understand it might not really be gone, just somewhere I can’t see it. Very twilight zone.

import fl.motion.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

stage.align = "TL";
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";


projectsmain.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onOver, false, 0, true);
 
function onOver(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(proj_one, 1, {alpha:1});
    TweenLite.to(proj_two, 1, {alpha:1});
    TweenLite.to(proj_three, 1, {alpha:1});
}

projframe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onOut, false, 0, true);

function onOut(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(proj_one, 1, {alpha:0});
    TweenLite.to(proj_two, 1, {alpha:0})
    TweenLite.to(proj_three, 1, {alpha:0});
}

proj_one.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    gotoAndStop(2);
    
}

//center blankmcture on stage
function centerblankmc():void {
    blankmc.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
    blankmc.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
}

// make listener change blankmcture size and center blankmcture on browser resize
function sizeListener(e:Event):void {
    scaleProportional();
    centerblankmc();

//load swf in blank mc

proj_one.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, extswfLoad);
function extswfLoad (event:MouseEvent):void{
    var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    blankmc.addChild(swfLoader);
    var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf");
    swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);
    swfLoader.load(bgURL);
}
function loadProdComplete(e:Event):void {
    trace("file loaded");
}

proj_one.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopSlideshow1);

function stopSlideshow1 (event:MouseEvent):void{
    this.parent.slideshow.gotoAndStop(457);
}

//define dynamic aspect ratios
var blankmcHeight = blankmc.height / blankmc.width;
var blankmcWidth = blankmc.width / blankmc.height;

//add event listener to the stage
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, sizeListener);

//conditional statement to account for various initial browswer sizes and proportions
function scaleProportional():void {
    if ((stage.stageHeight / stage.stageWidth) < blankmcHeight) {
        blankmc.width = stage.stageWidth;
        blankmc.height = blankmcHeight * blankmc.width;
    } else {
        blankmc.height = stage.stageHeight;
        blankmc.width = blankmcWidth * blankmc.height;        
    };    
}

If anyone has any ideas, I’d love to hear them :o)
