Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Dynamically resize Flash

2009-01-19 Thread Joel Stransky

I fixed my issue for those who care. I consists of a mix of the first two
examples posted in this thread. I placed my flashcontent div inside a
container div. The width and height passed to swfobject are both 100% and
the container div is set to the intended width and height. I then passed the
container id to BrowserCanvas instead of the flashcontent id as well as
passing an empty array for the browser hacks param.

Your canvas object allows you to set width and height separately but still
updates both dimensions when either setter is called. For some reason this
causes FF for mac to consider the other dimension as 0. The fix for this was
setting both properties everytime even if one never changes.

[Flashcoders] Re: Dynamically resize Flash ...

2009-01-19 Thread SJF

I can't assist at this point, but thanks for sharing. I was looking for
something similar a year or so ago and had no luck.

I first saw this technique on a Polish insurance site that was site of the
week (or similar) on ultrashock a few years back.

Awesome, thanks again. Will come in very handy.

Hmm, I'm using BrowserCanvas in my current project and having zero issues
aside from it breaking swfaddress in IE7. Otherwise works fine in Safari and

isn't there a bit of wierdness in firefox where, if you want it to be 100%
width / height of the window, you need to add it to the css and apply it to
the swfobject targetted div?

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Dynamically resize Flash

2009-01-19 Thread Romuald Quantin

I sent to the BrowserCanvas developer the IE error months ago, I guess
he didn't find a solution if he didn't update his library.

I've been asked for this some months ago but we've ended up to build a
flash scrollbar instead... if I may ask, what makes you choose a browser
scrollbar for a flash content? Because in my case, having something
solid without cross-browsing issue made me build a flash scrollbar.

obvious from reading the documentation! Apologies. Now, to work out what's
causing the IE error ...

I am still interested in any comments regarding the Mustard Lab Resize Flash
with SWFObject issue though.

Hi List,

Does anyone have a bulletproof method for dynamically resizing your SWFs

I have tried doesnotcompute's lovely BrowserCanvas (

and
found that it only works for 1 SWF per page. (It always resizes the first
SWF, no matter which SWF needs resizing.)

I have also tried the wonderful Mustard Lab Resize Flash technique (

surprise I couldn't get it working with properly SWFObject in IE6 and
Safari. It works fine in FF and IE7. I found that, while the containing DIV
was resized appropriately, the Flash height (set to 100%) was not filling up
the DIV. I'm still not sure why this is; it works if the SWF is placed on
the page using JavaScript to write out the tags (which is how it is
implemented by Mustard Lab). Unfortunately it does need to work with
SWFObject.

Any ideas would be much appreciated,

Cheers,
