Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with footer fixed to bottom of page
Without posting the errors, I can't tell for sure, but it's possible
you didn't declare
pubilc var footer_bar:MovieClip
at the top of your class?
Or, perhaps it's null?

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.

Hello Jonathan, stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; -- iv http://www.bezier.ru http://bezier.googlecode.com ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with footer fixed to bottom of page
I suppose it should be:
footer.y = stage.stageHeight - footer.height;
footer[footer_bar].width = stage.stageWidth;
since footer_bar is nested into footer.
Kind Regards,

RE: [Flashcoders] Problem with footer fixed to bottom of page
Thanks Pinatti! That was the problem exactly--nesting not properly
defined. Works great now.
