This is probably a silly question, but I've searched google and can't
seem to find the right answer, which is strange as this is seems to be a
common thing on pages.
Basically, I have a footer that is fixed to the bottom of a page and for
the width of a page, so that no matter what size a user sets a window
for, it will always fix to the bottom. This is what I have so far (using
AS3):
In my .fla, I have a long gray bar with the instance name "footer".
Then, over in my .as file, I have the following:
import flash.display.*;
footer.y = stage.stageHeight - footer.height;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
public function resizeHandler(e:Event):void {
footer.y = stage.stageHeight - footer.height;
footer.width = stage.stageWidth;
}
All of this works without a hitch. However, my problem arises when I
want to add text. If I add text in its own mc, then it won't adjust with
the page. If I add text inside the footer mc, it will stretch with the
width of the page when I resize. So then I thought maybe I could make
them two mc's embedded in one main mc, and only define the width for the
bar. That is, something like:
footer.y = stage.stageHeight - footer.height;
footer_bar.width = stage.stageWidth;
With "footer" as the main mc, and "footer_bar" as the long gray bar
embedded inside.
However, this results in a mess of errors.
Any ideas? This seems so common, I'm surprised I can't find anything via
Google.
