RE: [flexcoders] Re: sizing dinamically the screen

[Tracy Spratt]

Reduce the variables, establish functionality one step at a time,
testing to make sure it continues to work.

 

Step 1: Write javascript to resize what you want.  Don't do anything
else until you can do this part.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: sizing dinamically the screen

 

thanks Amy, but it seems when I try to tell the document in Js about the
new size, that 

it is not doing the resize, Example is trying to do the sizing in the
document for vista and

others like

 

document.width = screen.availWidth;

document.height= screen.availHeight;

 

those arguments work in theory but it seems they are not working in
Vista or XP...

I don't  what else to do, actually I have an odd error in the
application:

 

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.

            at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()

 

this is the flash windows that appears now in my browser.

 

 

//code for the application:

 

creationComplete="resizerFlash()" 

 

here is the code in the flex:

 

          

         //importamos los datos para el external interface//

         import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

        

         //funcion para usar la external interface//

         public function resizerFlash():void{

 

var h:int;

var w:int

 

if (ExternalInterface.available){

 

 

h= ExternalInterface.call( "movieHeight");

root.stage.height = h;

w=ExternalInterface.call( "movieWidth");

root.stage.width = w;

trace(h);

trace(w);

}

 

 

}

 

 

what that means, I'm afraid my understanding is not that good.

You need to be resizing the object/embed tag, not telling Flex to 
resize the Application object, so Flex doesn't need to be involved in 
the process, unless you want to be able to click a button to initiate 
the resize. But all that needs to do is just call a js function, which 
should be able to handle it without any info from Flex.
