Liquidstage question [SOLVED]

[Monnone]

I'm simply trying to scale an object proportionally when the stage/browser resizes (the background image clip). I've tried stretchObject and pinObject but the movieclip distorts when it scales. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Sure, that's what the LiquidWrapper class is for - it's just a container (Sprite) that you dump your object(s) into and then you pin/stretch the LiquidWrapper with LiquidStage. LiquidWrapper will always cause its contents to scale proportionally.

Great thanks. Ok, this my sound like a stupid question but is LiquidWrapper part of the LiquidStage class or is that separate? I can't seem to find any documentation for it. We are a "Shockingly Green" member but I don't see it in the packages.

 

Thank you!

Actually, I do see the LiquidWrapper.as class in my packages...trying to figure out how to implement it. Can you give me a quick example?

 

Thanks!

Jack, I found it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

 

var bkGnrd:LiquidWrapper = new LiquidWrapper(bkgrnd_mc);

LiquidStage.stretchObject(bkGnrd, LiquidStage.TOP_LEFT, LiquidStage.TOP_RIGHT, LiquidStage.BOTTOM_LEFT);

Actually I do have another question. (sorry for spamming this thread)

 

I'd like the object to scale proportionally AND still fill the browser window like http://waterlife.nfb.ca/.

 

What am I missing? Again, I can't seem to find the documentation for LiquidState.

 

Thanks again!

Works great. Thank you!

 

Do your classes not handle this natively (liquidWrapper)?

 

Thanks!

It's working great except on initialization it's not resizing properly. I made a call to updateBackground right away but it throws this error:

 

Error: Error #2099: The loading object is not sufficiently loaded to provide this information.

at flash.display::LoaderInfo/get width()

at MethodInfo-280()

at MethodInfo-279()

 

So it looks like the MC it's trying to resize isn't ready yet? How can I make sure it's loaded, ready to go, then resize? I'm not loading anything externally; it's all on the stage.

 

I'm calling it like this:

 

updateBackground(null);

function updateBackground(event:Event):void{

}

 

Again, your help is GREATLY appreciated Jack.

 

Thanks,

Nevermind. I worked it out:

 

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, initBkgrnd);
function initBkgrnd(e:Event):void{
    trace(bkgrnd_mc.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded);
    if(bkgrnd_mc.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded == bkgrnd_mc.loaderInfo.bytesTotal){
         updateBackground(null);
    }
  stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, initBkgrnd);
}

 

Thanks for your help!
