FullScreen flash... problem with movieClip positioning

programming flash
1

Hey,

I’m currently programming a site available to see at:

http://biddleinc.ca/empiregrill/

The problem i have is that when I load in external .swf files which are bigger than the main centered movieClip (centeredContent_mc)… if you resize the browser it will bump the center section to a new position because it’s size has changed. You can see this in the “Take a tour” section.

This is the code im using:

[COLOR=Blue]Stage.scaleMode = “noScale”;
Stage.align = “TL”;

var stageListener: Object = new Object();

stageListener.onResize = positionContent;

Stage.addListener(stageListener);

function positionContent():Void
{
centeredContent_mc._x = Stage.width/2 - centeredContent_mc._width/2;
centeredContent_mc._y = Stage.height/2 - centeredContent_mc._height/2;

if ( Stage.height/Stage.width > background_mc._height / background_mc._width )
{
    var ratio = background_mc._width/background_mc._height;
    
    if ( Stage.height > 400 )
    {
        background_mc._height = Stage.height;
        background_mc._width = Stage.height*ratio;
    }
}
else
{
    var ratio = background_mc._height/background_mc._width;

    if ( Stage.width > 400 )
    {
        background_mc._width = Stage.width;
        background_mc._height = Stage.width*ratio;
    }
}

}

positionContent();[/COLOR]
My question is: Is there any way to specify the new movieClip and keep if from changing the size of the mc it’s being loaded into?

I would GREATLY appreciate any replies!!! PS-AS2

at the beginning you can create two variable to store the Stage.width and Stage.height like this
var stageWidth:Number = Stage.width;
var stageHeight:Number = Stage.height;
then in your code you just using stageWidth and stageHeight.
the reason is Stage.width or Stage.height will be changed when you load in a external swf which is big then the main swf.
