Stage size changing with browser?
Dec 22nd, 2009, 5:46am  
Hi.

I would like to know if I can determine the stage size of the processing application depending on the browser size. I prefer to do something like;

* creating the applet on browser in %100 width and height.
* reading/detecting the current width/height of the applet from code.

Is this possible? If not, any extension or library would solve this?

Thanks Cheesy

In response to my previous post, Making Flash movies obey browser text size changes, someone asked in the comments whether this method works when Stage.scaleMode is set to “noScale” (like it is automatically in every Flex SWF, for example, and in many Flash applications.) Setting the scaleMode of the Stage to "noScale" lets Flash developers control the layout of a Flash application in response to a change in the size of the Stage. It's how you create liquid layouts in Flash.

The answer to the question is that, yes, this method will work when using noScale and you can decide exactly how to handle the layout of your SWF when the stage size changes.

Here's the example from the previous post, refactored with some custom scaling code: You can view the example online and download the source code.
