Hi!
Awesome aligning components! You Rock!
The site I made using these components is < http://www.tesoromusic.com >
Some people are having trouble with the site, however, when they use FireFox or Mozilla, and I suspect it has to do with aligning - they see half of the content at the top of the page... Any ideas?
Thank You,
Alex

Your XHTML doesn't work with Firefox. You could copy the XHTML that I use on this site (View Source), or remove DOCTYPE from your existing HTML and it will work.

Mail me if you need help with this.

I was just wondering if your align components work properly in Firefox. Thanks, -Onur

Hi
This componet looks very nice but for some reason its not working very well for me. I wish to see some sample fla files and see where I making a mistakes. Also I did't found anought information about what kind of Flash version I should use.

Regards Paulius

Elvis Mehmedovic (2 Apr 2005 20:31)

Align Components V4 is for Flahs MX 2004. V3 is an older version for Flash MX.

As for examples, did you check out the example for the component (it includes AC4Demo.fla)?

I really don't heave any really simple examples :-), but, let me know what do you want to achieve, and I'll help you out, write a tutorial, maybe. :-)

Elvis Mehmedovic (2 Apr 2005 20:33)

To address the Firefox question, yes, components work fine with all browsers.

Elvis Mehmedovic (23 Jul 2005 8:55)

Version 4.0.2: Updated to XMCA 0.3. Additionally, PaneNineComponent class has been added into distribution.

Awesome !
your resizing component are awesome !
thanks !

Thummper (4 Sep 2005 8:26)

ok you just rock! Ive been resizing my flash sites using a 3x3 html table with the flash in the middle and % sizing. In some circumstances it would get really hairy as I would want, say, a top and bottom titlebar to scale differently, and the main problem has always been the difference in how browsers handle the scaling table thing. I came to a stop when using ssdesigns yamzbrowser patch for as2 as it demands using a fixed flashlayer size, so this should salve all my problems with that in the future.

Just a note, a tutorial on this would be awesome. There seems to be a ton of settings and such without any clear 1,2,3 explanation. Its too late for this project but id love to really learn the ins and outs of this, as it is im gonna have to reverse engeneer your sample. Dooable, and thank you for those, but would be a HUGE bonus to have some kind of tutorial or more comprehensive directions. Thanks a ton,
-Thummp

Hi Elvis
First thank you for such a great component, you can imagine how happy I am having Flash in full screen :-)

But I have some problem and I don't know how to solve it so I thought maybe you will be bale to help me.

I publish the sample in online if you can take a look
< http://identity5.com/files/align/ >

I can understand why the component doesn't set the Properties right away. If you will try to minimize your browser and open my link you will see that component doesn't set the properties, but when you click the Right Down corner of you browser than it resize to the Properties that I set. I am trying to make it appear right away with 10px margin from the top if you have small screen if not than of course
it can be in the middle.

I tried a lot of things and I give up, do you have any suggestions.

If you want to take a look at the FLA file you can grab it here
< http://identity5.com/files/align/align.zip >

Thanks
Paulius

You could force an update:

gStage.onResize();

Or, better, drop a single align component in the first frame (this is to ensure that gStage object is created), set minWidht and minHeight, and move everything else in the second frame. (Or something like that.)

felix (14 Nov 2005 5:05)

I'm having a problem using the code-only version of the aligner class. I can create an aligner with 'Stage' as the host ok. The problem is creating an aligner that works within a moviclip, using 'this' as the host. The aligner does not seem to work.

Also what is 'gStage'? How is it different to 'Stage'? Thanks for the great components!

Van (3 Dec 2005 5:38)

Can you update this component to new Flash 8 ?

andre (6 Dec 2005 23:54)

I downloaded the component and installed but i put them in the stage and try to make them work and nothing happened i am using flash mx 2004. I have a flash beackground for the stage and want it to be resize to any browser size resolution and also the external loadmovies i want them to be located in a specific place according to resolutions.

Can you give me some documentation how to do it simply and fast. I dont get how to make this component work,

Maybe do u have some documentation to tell thanx.

explorer (3 Jan 2006 19:18)

hey.

the component is great, but i could use a tutorial.
i have this kind of problem.

i have a movieclip (horizontal box) witch i want to strech to the width of a stage - simple. but inside of that movieclip i have a movieclip containing a logo. a want the logo not to streach with the box.

how do to it while keeping the logo nested inside of the box moviexlip?

James Rowley (7 Feb 2006 10:56)

These components seem to stop working properly when i add an FLVPlayback component dynamically into a dynamic movieClip.

Van (8 Feb 2006 19:40)

Is this component compatible with the new Flash 8 version?

chespi (21 Feb 2006 18:06)

exelent! great components, it in particulare shock me!
thanks for share your knowlage!

gburks (5 Aug 2006 1:16)

Hi,
I am migrating an ActionScript 2.0 project to ActionScript 3.0. Flash 9 Alpha does not allow components, and the project I am migrating uses your components.

Can you suggest any easy workarounds for now to enable your code to run? Can I manually grab some of your aligning code and include it in a movie clip's action script?

Alex (15 Aug 2006 16:54)

Hi, Elvis!
Can you give an example of a Stage-similar movie clip that implements width and height properties, and broadcasts resize message?
Thanks!

Andres Santos (4 Sep 2006 1:24)

Hi!!, i tested your components, they are very useful...but after test them i got some doubts, for example if i resize a movieclip where some assets are, do you think it will be distorted? also i have some doubts using 'this' instead of gStage, could you provide with a sample assets using 'this' :-D

btw great work!

Juan Ignacio (13 Feb 2007 19:55)

I have a movie clip with a fade ineffect made with a alpha 0% -> alpha 100% tween.
As a tween requieres the frame to only have a single object in it, I moved the component to a layer above the one where the tween is.

If the component starts in the same frame number where the tween start, when i publish th swf, on the SAFlashPlayer orks fine. But in Firefox and Safari, the tween never happens. If i put the component in the last frame of the tween, the effect happens not resized and at the ends, it rezies.

Is there a way to TILE a motion tween?

Blue (19 Nov 2007 6:02)

I hope this work.!!! If so, great job.

Francois Patry (30 Nov 2007 16:56)

Hi. Do you have a tutorial on how to use your component? I can't figuring out how to make it work.

Thanks.

Dave Langley (info@davelangley.com) (28 Feb 2008 16:18)

very nice align components. i dont suppose there's a way to retrieve the .target attribute from the eventObject parameter in the resize handler? it doesnt seem to work. eventObject.type works just dandy. Thanks Dave

Elvis Mehmedovic (28 Feb 2008 16:35)

It doesn't pass the target. However, perhaps addEventListenerL could help? See:

http://emehmedovic.com/xmca/toobplayer/toobplayer_api_reference.html#addEventListenerL

(Event system is the same for all components.)

vanessa@hypermodeinc.com (27 May 2008 4:32)
