RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Size / Scaling on IE Windows Mobile

2006-09-12 Thread Harald Kobler
Hi Erik,

I recently built a small Pocket PC application for IE.  The only way I found
to eliminate both scroll bars is to set the View menu option in IE to One
Column otherwise I can't get rid of the horizontal scrollbar.  I also
experimented with various size parameters and scaling to determine the
optimal setting for my needs.  Here they are:

object width=235 height=243 id=SnappMX_FE ... 
param name=movie
value=SnappMX_FE.swf?snappServer=CFscreenId=6scaleX=160scaleY=160applic
ationWidth=290applicationHeight=301 /

I'm currently using a Dell Axim X51V for testing which supports VGA.
Interestingly this required me to set my scaleX / Y values to 160 to scale
the movie down to 80% of its original size.  If I open this application in a
desktop web browser it is actually scaled to 160% so I only see one corner
of the UI.

The applicationWidth of 290 and applicationHeight of 301 allowed me to
display the entire screen without the need for any scrolling.

One pitfall that I found was that i couldn't make use of full screen mode
since my application needs to access the virtual keyboard for data entry and
I haven't found any way to programmatically access it.

Hey list,



I'm trying to port an app to IE running on Windows Mobile 5.0, but I'm
fighting with the IE renderer.



I can't seem to get something to open perfectly in the browser without any
scroll bars. I can size it just right so the vertical scroll bars aren't
visible, but anytime I try to size my swf where the scroll bar would
normally be displayed it automatically scales it down to fit inside the
window. In other words even if I make something 800 pixels wide, inside of
horizontal scroll bars being display, IE just smushes it.



Is there a way to disable or work around this?



Also, it's been a while since I've done mobile dev, but there use to be a
way to make Flash content open standalone or full screen using a 3rd party
tool, but I can't remember the name of it?



Thanks!

Hey thanks for the info Harald.

I fiddled around with it some more and on the Verizon XV6700 I got it pretty
locked at 240w x 245h running in default mode with leftMargin and topMargin
set to 0. Nice and tight all the way around the bottom and top nav bars.

It seems that there is some play in the scroll bar logic so that if you go
below a certain point, the vertical scroll bar space will appear but not the
actual scroll bars (weird).

Thanks again!
