LiquidStage/LiquidArea and SlideShow Pro = Nasty

[kenharper]

Oh wise GreenSock people of the universe,

 

I'm giving liquidStage/Area a shot in conjunction with SlideShow Pro http://slideshowpro.net/products/slideshowpro/ AS3 version. In short, they seem not do not play well together.

 

When I test the Liquid Stage in a simple situation the test MC scales just fine, no surprise.

 

When I apply those same AS3 code bits the SSP instance goes crazy when scaling.

 

Simple Working Test:

SSP, Not Scaling Properly (Try and scale browser):

http://multimediaphotographydesign.org/source/deploy/

 

LiquidStage code applied to both:

import com.greensock.layout.*;

this.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
var ls:LiquidStage = new LiquidStage(this.stage, 960, 633, 600, 400);
var area:LiquidArea = new LiquidArea(this, 0, 0, 960, 633);
area.attach(ssp_mc, ScaleMode.PROPORTIONAL_OUTSIDE);

//SSP
my_ssp.contentScale = "Proportional";

 

I'm assuming that the SSP flash component just has some crazy AS3 rocking and that's the problem, some sort of conflict (meaning I may be screwed).

 

Anyone have any experience or ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers,

I think you might be right about SlideShow Pro having code in it that messes things up. For example, LiquidStage listens for stage resize events and scales/moves things accordingly, but if SlideShow Pro also has code that runs right after LiquidStage and it also moves/scales things, that would explain the funky behavior. I've never used SlideShow Pro before so I can't really speak to how it's coded or what might specifically be conflicting with LiquidStage. Sorry. I wonder if the SlideShow Pro folks would be able to speak to that issue for you and explain how their stuff does its thing in a way that might be conflicting.

Thanks for the quick response. I've posted this question on the SSP forum as well, I'll be sure to get back with any useful information gained.

 

Thanks for creating a great set of classes. I teach an introductory class in Flash UI design and the GreenSock classes have helped a ton.

Did you ever find an answer to this. I'm having very similar issues with SSP and Google Maps.
