In theory, you either want the player to do the scaling or Flex to do the 
scaling.  Flex doesn't really know how so it just looks at the new stage size 
and tries a non-scaled layout.  If the player also tries to scale, you'll get 
the wrong result.  Setting a non% width/height should prevent Flex from trying 
the non-scaled layout.
 
You can then listen to the Stage resize event yourself and resize the 
Application to whatever makes it work for you.
 
I think one "hard" part may be in controlling the stage size.  As you resize 
the browser, it is resizing the player and if the player is given an aspect 
ratio different from the original you might get bad results.  You may want to 
add some Javascript in the wrapper that you call from ExternalInterface in your 
Stage resize event that tries to force the browser to give the player an aspect 
ratio you like.

One more issue is, I have custom developed Title windows in which individual 
game play would be happening which wud be created when we click on a button in 
the canvas. So when I give the zoom effect to the base canvas.. the windows 
wouldn't be resized. Is there a way that the whole application zooms in along 
with the game windows...in it??

 

And when how can we control the aspect ration of an application....when the 
browser resizes! B'coz when we set stagemode to something like EXACT_FIT it 
would try to scale to the present dimensions...ignoring the aspect ration

 

Thanks in advance

Ravi

Sorry for the duplicate mail

 

Alex,

 

No, I didn't specify the exact width and height for Application, bcoz specifyin 
that restricts the whole application in that space and it doesn't extend 

Occupy the whole browser .But I want the application to be zoomable / 
resizable...

 

I added a canvas in the application which lays all my components and the size 
of that canvas and the components added are Fixed..

Now when my application resizes...I would like that canvas to be fitting the 
whole stage..! I was tryin to use Zoom effect based on eventlistener.

 

My application layout is something like this..

 

 

<Application width=100% height=100% >

            

<Canvas id="test" width=200 height=300>

            <Button id=test1 />

            <Label id =test2 />

            <TextArea = test2/>

</Canvas>

 

</Application>

 

If I give the canvas width and height as 100% ,though  it occupies the whole 
application, It doesn't behave the way I want..! I want the whole canvas to be 
zoomed like a picture without affecting my layout a trifle..! ( Something like 
when a movies is playing, u right click and select zoom in , I would like 
exactly the same effect but when the browser resizes)

 

 

Please let me know if the explanation is not clear..!

 

Regards

Ravi

Did you specify the exact size of the application' s width/height?  I think you 
want to make sure Flex doesn't see the stage resize event and use EXACT_FIT or 
SHOW_ALL.

Subject: [flexcoders] Zooming of the whole Application !!! Doesnt behave like a 
authorin tool published SWF

Hi all,

 

I am developing a gaming application. The coordinates and sizes of all the 
components are fixed inside the application

But now when the browser is resized , I would like the whole application to be 
zoomed in our out...! It neednt relay the components etc..Its just crude 
zooming.

 

Whenever u make something from a authoring tool..it automatically takes care of 
that..! It maintains the aspect ration and zooms in the whole SWF 
appropriately...

But Flex is making life really tuff..!! I tried many tweaks like  setting 
scaleMode etc..

 

this.systemManager. stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode. EXACT_FIT / .SHOW_ALL 
etc...

 

But this is making my app scale beyond the actual stage size!

I also caught the Resize event of the application and tried to use zoom 
effect..! But it's a lot tuff and trickier since zoom uses only ratios.

 

I have a gut feeling that its by setting the scaleMode but that doesn't work as 
expected..! The content is scaling out.!

Please help me out..! Its really blocking my whole deliverable. .!!!!

 

Thanks in Advance

 

Ravi Kumar G

As to docs, I'm not sure. I mostly looked up things from the flex 
docs or from the archives of lists like this.

As to multiple files, I'm not. I know you can match a whole source 
folder with -include-sources, but not with wildcards. If you're 
running the compiler from the shell, then you may be able to use 
wildcards with sources (because they're paths, not AS3 class 
definition names, but in that case it would be the shell resolving 
the wildcard, not the compiler.
