Question

I am using Flash CS5 and when I exprt my file to swf I notied that after exporting and playing it in Flash player (on my desktop) I can change the size of the window and the scene itself eventthough I have set the width and height dimension to e.g. 468×60.

So, the bad thing is that if I ahve some objects that are moving from this area and in banner I do not see them in flash player I can see all which is not good.

Is there a setting in export option to disable this behavior or some actionscript, so my client will not be able see the “mess-behind-the-scenes” :)?

I can probably remove some objects using actionscript, however if I have looping background image it is necessary to be bigger than 468px In my case 3x.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Answer 1

standalone flashplayer will be resizable because it’s a windowed app.
however, you can apply a 468×60 mask to your root DisplayObject

upd:

var maskMC:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mask", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
maskMC.beginFill(0x000000, 100);
maskMC.moveTo(0, 0);
maskMC.lineTo(0, 60);
maskMC.lineTo(468, 60);
maskMC.lineTo(468, 0);
maskMC.lineTo(0, 0);
_root.setMask(maskMC);
