Have your app calculate how high it needs to be, then call out using javascript to a method which changes the dimensions of a div, where your SWF embed is made at 100%.

also copy this directory in the screens directory

Re: [Flashcoders] seekBar and volumeBar Handle conflict
Hello Jamay, This doesn't directly answer your question, but I found that when I was in the same situation as you (ie, making customised controllers for an FLV player), the flvPlayback components weren't really the ideal answer for me. They seemed quite difficult to customise as well as adding enormously to file size. I found that Lee Brimelow's series of tutorials[1] were really helpful to make your own flv playback controls. It doesn't cover making a volume slider, but you can make it pretty easily yourself after following the whole series. Or if not, you can contact me off-list and I'll send you the code I ended up using. Hope that helps! [1] http://www.creativecow.net/show.php?page=/leaders/brimelow_lee/brimelow_lee.html.

[Flashcoders] [thelist] rotate mc through press+drag?
Hello all, I didn't think I'd have to break my brain over this one, but here I am again, putting my thick skin on the line. In my SWF, there are a whole bunch of car movieclips. When the user clicks add new car or something similar, the original Car movieclip is duplicated and plopped somewhere appropriate on the stage. These mcs can be dragged around by the user. What I'd like is for the user to be able to rotate these mcs (each one individually), much like one would be able to in Flash. ie, by click-hold-ing and dragging the mouse. Currently, my only working version relies on the user clicking the mc, then clicking rotate CW and rotate CCW buttons until it's at the right angle. It just doesn't seem to cut the mustard. So please, if anyone could help in any mustard-cutting, I'd appreciate it very very much.

Maybe have a lock hole or finalize hole button in the flash movie that triggers the POST. It wouldn't work to put the POST on something like a mouseMove event and I'd be hesitant about using mouseUp either for the exact reason you mention. You don't want the user to keep hitting the server over and over for nothing. The advantage to using the session object would be for two different ASP pages... A) The one your Flash movie POSTs to behind the scenes and B) the one your HTML form POSTs to when the form is complete. In order for the two ASP pages to share data you need to store the X and Y locations somewhere they both can access. Session seemed like a logical place but you have other options like a database or even cookies. It's up to you what makes the most sense for your needs.

[Flashcoders] Flash and ASP/MSSQL
Hello everyone, This is a question about Flash in an ASP form which communicates with an MSSQL db. I'm not really sure how to phrase the question, so I'm afraid that I'll just have to explain the story. Imagine an ASP page about faulty garments. Let's just say that if you had a hole in your T-shirt, you could visit this page to report it. The page would have normal HTML fields for name and email, and it would also have a SWF with a picture of a T-shirt. The disgruntled hole-y user clicks on the T-shirt to leave an X representing where the hole is. The form information (including that of the hole location, in the SWF) is then submitted using a normal HTML submit button and stored in the MSSQL db. I spose my question is, is this scenario possible? Is it only possible to store user-submitted information (in this case, the X,Y coordinates of the hole) by clicking on a Send button WITHIN flash, or is there another way? I'd like to avoid making a user explicitly submit the SWF information AS WELL AS the form information. Any ideas and comments much appreciated, Thanks muchly, Amanda. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
