Does anyone know how I can retrieve the "ORIGINAL" stage height and width that was set during compile of an Air/Flash Application
I have set the Application to compile to 1920x1080;
I have stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
and stage.nativeWindow.maximize();
But when I trace stage.stageWidth I get 1280 which is the resolution of the screen.
I was hoping to get the 1920.
I cannot use stage.width or stage.getBounds(stage) because this returns 6000. Due to items being masked off screen.
With the stage.stageWidth being the screen resolution, I was hoping I could use that and mathematically work out the original using stage.scaleX. but even with SHOW_ALL scaling the entire application, stage.scaleX returns 1.
I would love to hardcode 1920x1080 into the application, but this code is being used in multiple applications of various dimensions. And now I have become stumped.
Any help would be welcome.
EDIT: I know what "Show all" does, you do not need to tell me about it.
I also know what stage.width and stage.stageWidth do, but stage.stageWidth is returning what I believe is incorrect in this example and need an alternative.
Resize does not help either as I need it after the fact.
when you are setting:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
the Event.RESIZE is not beeing dispatched from the stage, because no RESIZE of the stage is happening.
stage.width - is the parameter which gives you the size of all the display objects placed on it ( imagine everything what is places on the stage as a one MC ).
stage.stageWidth - this parameter will give you back the default width only ( because no REIZE is happening, since you have scaleMode=SHOWALL, normally it does return the visible flash stage size.
If you want to get the size of a screen ( device rezolution ):
Capabilities.screenResolutionX
SHOW_ALL parameter for scaleMode says application to stretch to the flash display size.
If you want to change something for different sizes of the screen / flash display stage,
you need to use NO_SCALE property.
p.s. for width parameter same rules applies.
UPDATE
After some testing found a solution for it:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; // reseting the scale to get actual width
ACTUAL_STAGE_WIDTH = stage.stageWidth; // this is where you getting the width you need
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; // setting back the scale.
#Jevgenij Dmitrijev solution was a bit of a hack. (No Offense)
The real answer for getting the published SWF Size is using
this.loaderInfo.width;
this.loaderInfo.height;
Found it on an older actionscript forum and it was something that i myself forgot.
you can look up loader info on ASdoc's and they'll give you an in-depth explanation.

A little lost here. I've got two movieclips. I want one on the far left (out of reach until the user hovers over their left side of the screen) and one on the far right. I've tried playing with Screen, Capabilities, and stage.
I don't know why, but apparently my resolution 1536 by 864?
trace("Screen x = " + Capabilities.screenResolutionX); //Screen x = 1536
trace("Screen y = " + Capabilities.screenResolutionY); //Screen y = 864
I don't want to set the position of the native window to what the difference of the stage's with and height is to screenResoltionX and Y just because that number seems so off to me. I'm on a monitor with it's current resolution at 1920 x 1080. The only thing I can think of is that I have my laptop set to display only on the monitor at this time with it's main screen inactive, yet the window appears on my monitor, so i'm assuming its picking up the values from my monitor .. and my laptop's screen has no where near that weird of a resolution. Anyone know where this is coming from? I've never seen this before. The same numbers return from stage.fullScreenWidth and stage.fullScreenHeight..
I'm using Adobe AIR 17.0 to build this. Building it with an opaque window. The current size of the stage is set to 1024 x 786.
Edit: I want these objects on the edges of the user's screen. I'm trying to get a grid that represents the entire bounds of the user's screen.
When using Capabilities.screenResolutionX & Capabilities.screenResolutionY, it is reporting for the primary display (so if you have more than one monitor, regardless of which monitor your app is on, it will report back the primary monitor's resolution), and only at the time your application starts (so if you change resolution after the app starts Capabilities.screenResolutionX will not reflect the new screen resolution).
Here is a quote from the documentation: (emphasis mine)
This property does not update with a user's screen resolution and instead only indicates the resolution at the time Flash Player or an Adobe AIR application started. Also, the value only specifies the primary screen.
For your purposes, it seems like it shouldn't matter what the screen resolution is. Just use the stage.stageWidth & stage.stageHeight values since they reflect the boundaries of your actual app, regardless of which monitor it's on or if it's full screen, windowed, or scaled etc.
if(stage.mouseX < stage.stageWidth * 0.5){
//mouse is on the left hand side of the application.
}
EDIT
Based off your comment, sounds like you need to do this:
When your app first runs, do this to make it responsive/liquid:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE
Then the stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight properties will reflect the actual window size.
You can maximize it through code with:
stage.nativeWindow.maximize();
You can listen for window sizing changes with:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, myResizeHandler);
function myResizeHandler(e:Event):void {
//stage.stageWidth & stage.stageHeight have changed
}
I'm gonna try to explain this as good as I can with limited english!
Ok, I'm bulding an app that will on phones be in portrait mode and in landscape on tablets.
I do this by, first with calculating the display size than basically saying "if display size is more than 5 inches, consider this device to be a tablet".
This works great. I'm using Adobe Flash CS6 with FlashDevelop, so I have portrait mode as default once the application start. If the device is a tablet, it changes aspect ratio with stage.setAspectRatio(StageAspectRatio.LANDSCAPE);
This also works great.
Now, the problem is that stage.stageWidth will not change its value to the new aspectRatio. This is a easy fix with just using stage.stageHeight for the width. BUT the system bar on honeycomb/ics tablets/devices will not be changed.
Sorry for the bad explanation but let me show you with some numbers...
This is what happends when I start my application on my tablet.
Application start with Portrait. The height = 1232 width = 800. As you can see the display resolution should be 1280x720 but there is no way to get the height of the systembar througout any commands. I've test everything that returns resolution and none of them return the full resolution (1280x720).
Now the application turns into landscape (since it's a tablet) and gets this resolution height: 800, width 1232.
As you may can imagine this is wrong. Because the systembar is on the bottom. The resolution should be height: 752, width 1280.
Is there any solutions?
I've been thinking of a workaround that will basically calculate what the systembar *should be. But before I start on that, I would like to know if there is any way to solve this.*
-1. I don't know if there's an official way to do these,
but your first criteria sounds similar to this:
link: AS3/AIR: If phone use portrait, if tablet use landscape?
This also solves the problem that some devices' default orientation are "portrait" but some devices' are "landscape"
-2. As for the area of the screen
The following should give the pixel dimensions of the device:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.fullScreenWidth;
stage.fullScreenHeight;
//import flash.system.Capabilities;
Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
And then using this (which I assume you've been using) should return the usable area minus the Status Bar (a post I read mentioned it is correct for iPad but some Android tablets did not take into account the Navigation Bar):
stage.stageWidth;
stage.stageHeight;
Then this one should give the correct value of screen resolution minus Status Bar and Navigation Bar area:
//import flash.display.Screen
var screenBounds:Rectangle = Screen.mainScreen.visibleBounds;
I've built an AIR application with flash/as3 that has a webcam display on the stage. While building the app, and in all my tests everything looks and works just dandy, but when I publish for AIR the image gets stretched. The bounds of the image seem to stay the same, but the actual cam output is what's distorted. Has anyone come into this problem before?
I should add, this is a desktop app, which is permanently installed on one machine, so device compatibility should not be an issue.
this is the camera setup:
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
cam.setMode(280,380,20);
var video:Video = new Video(380,380);
this is where i first call the camera...
video.attachCamera(cam);
video.x = 355;
video.scaleX = -1;
video.y = -100;
addChildAt(video, 0);
the reason for the odd sizing, is that it sits behind a frame, that changes positions throughout the interactive.
Not necessarily the answer you are looking for, but you should keep this in mind:
You are asking the camera to capture at the resolution of 280 x 380, which is not a standard 4:3 aspect ratio.
When you call cam.setMode(280,380,20); the docs say that Flash will try to set the cameras resolution to your specifications, and if the camera does not support that resolution it will try to find one that matches. So you may or may not be getting this actual resolution.
setMode() has a fourth parameter, which can disable this functionality. Read the docs on that so you understand the implications :)
Then you display the video in a Video object that is 380x380. So I would expect the image to be stretched in the horizontal direction (b/c the original source is only 280).
It's not clear why this behaves differently: are you saying that running the debug version of the app works, but when you export the release build and run that it looks funky?
Finally, what is scaleX = -1 doing? I recall this as some sort of nifty trick I used in the past... but it's purpose here is escaping me :)
Yep, source code would be cool. Btw, i suggest you, as soon as you get the video streaming running, to set by hand the video.width and video.height property.
This will force the cam to display at the correct size.
I'm trying to make an instance of FLVPlayBack run in fullscreen, without affecting the rest of the application.
According to stuff I've read, I have set the players scale mode so it will fit the window when its scaled up.
flvPlayer.scaleMode = "exactFit";
And in order to stop the stage from scaling up I've also set the stage's scale mode too.
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Then in order to try and control what the video player does when I click the fullscreen button, I also use the fullScreenTakeOver setting on the player.
If I set the code like to 'false'
flvPlayer.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
Then the whole interface becomes fullscreen, with the stage positioned in the centre of the window, I guess this is because I set the stage not to scale. The video stays its normal size and carries on doing what it was doing. Exiting fullscreen shrinks the stage back to normal.
If, on the other hand I set it to 'true'
flvPlayer.fullScreenTakeOver = true;
Then the video takes over the screen, but it doesn't scale up, instead it positions the video in the middle of the page, and the clickable areas of the controls move to where they would be if the video was full size, leaving my guessing where the buttons should be.
In both cases the video carries on running fine.
Can anyone help me with the right combination of settings? I want the application to stay its windowed size and the fly player to scale to fit fullscreen by itself.
Thanks.
There is a property in flvplayback named fullScreenTakeOver which is set by true by default. this will interfere with fullscreen really bad. if you want to apply fullscreen without changing logic of your stage you better set this as false after instantiation. this will decrease your troubles a lot
You'll want to set a few settings which some you've already done
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
flvPlayer.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
Now when you enter full screen your application stuff will positioned top left. You will want to make an event listener for full screen mode.
stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, fullScreenHandler);
In that event is where you will handle resizing and moving the video (Also hiding other objects on the stage if need be)
function fullScreenHandler(e:FullScreenEvent):void
{
if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
{
// Setup NORMAL Layout
// resize and reposition the flvPlayer
}
else
{
// Setup FULL_SCREEN Layout
// move the flvPlayer to x:0 and y:0
// set the flvPlayer width and height to stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight
}
}
After I export the .swf file in a certain size (1024*768) and then resize it manually (dragging the mouse to enlarge the screen) - everything stays in the same width and height.
After I export the .exe/.app file in a specific size (1024*768) and then resize it manually - everything scales (and I don't want that).
How can I define in the as3 settings to leave the width/height size static and not dynamic.
How can I tell the .exe file to get the full width and height of the current display?
I ask that because I want to have a full-size flash file that in the center there is the static sized stage.
To prevent scale use:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
To enter fullscreen use:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Have a look at the docs
Take a look at the scaleMode property of stage. In your case it seems you would want to set it to StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE. The stageAlign property might be of interest too.
