Hi all, can someone fix this so it resizes the flash window
correctly?

Rem Project: widescreen
Rem Created: Thursday, June 10, 2010

Rem ***** Main Source File *****

sync on
sync rate 60

LOAD FLASH "intro.swf",1,0,0

position flash 1,0,0
resize flash 1,screen width(),screen height()

sync

do
  text 0, 0, "Press spacekey to enable 16:9 widescreen"
  text 0, 10, "Press controlkey to enable 4:3 fullscreen"

  if spacekey() then cls : widescreen(16.0/9.0)
  if controlkey() then cls : widescreen(4.0/3.0)

  sync
loop

function widescreen(aspect as float)

  local extra as dword

  if aspect <= 0 then exitfunction

  set camera aspect aspect

  if aspect > (screen width() / screen height() * 1.0)
    extra = (screen height() - (screen width() * (1/aspect))) / 2
    resize flash 1,screen width(),screen height()-extra/2
height()-extra
  else
    extra = (screen width() - (screen height() * aspect)) / 2
    resize flash 1,screen width()-extra,screen height()
height()
  endif

endfunction

Ok, this code sorta works.

Except, how do I draw the video to the back?

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60

draw to back
load flash "intro.swf",1,0,0

aspect as float = 2.0
draw to front

make object cube 1, 1
draw to back

while aspect >= 0.5
   cls
   widescreen(aspect)
`   dec aspect, 0.01
   sync
endwhile
wait key
end

function widescreen(aspect as float)

  local extra as dword

  if aspect <= 0 then exitfunction

  set camera aspect aspect

  w = screen width() : h = screen height()

  if aspect > (w / h * 1.0)
    extra = (h - (w * (1/aspect))) / 2
    set camera view 0, extra, w, h-extra
  else
    extra = (w - (h * aspect)) / 2
    set camera view extra, 0, w-extra, h
  endif

endfunction

getting closer.

Now there's a prob.

If ur in fullscreen, the flash window doesnt update at all..

the update glitch doesnt happen unless u go into wide screen mode, then into fullscreen mode after being in fullscreen mode.

and if ur in widescreen, it doesnt show the whole movie in widescreen view ><

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60

load flash "intro.swf",1,0,0

position flash 1,0,screen height()/2-get flash height(1)/2+40

resize flash 1,screen width(),get flash height(1)/2+120

aspect as float = 2.0

widescreen(aspect)

do
  if controlkey() then cls: widescreen(aspect)
  if spacekey() then cls: fullscreen()
   sync
loop

function fullscreen()
resize flash 1,screen width(),screen height()
position flash 1,0,0
sync
endfunction

function widescreen(aspect as float)

  local extra as dword

  if aspect <= 0 then exitfunction

  set camera aspect aspect

  w = screen width() : h = screen height()

  if aspect > (w / h * 1.0)
    extra = (h - (w * (1/aspect))) / 2
    set camera view 0, extra, w, h-extra
`  else
`    extra = (w - (h * aspect)) / 2
`    set camera view extra, 0, w-extra, h
  endif
  
position flash 1,0,screen height()/2-get flash height(1)/2+40
resize flash 1,screen width(),get flash height(1)/2+120

endfunction

You can cooldown a bit, be patient while you are working on something.As i see you have the skills to do everything by yourself and you need just a little push, this apply to everybody from time to time.Also make a habbit to use the edit button under your avatar and you can keep any progress to your work while you search the solution in one post.Most people would skip your monolog.

Excuse me if i`m rude but this is the kind of person i`m.Little criticism is allways useful, that`s what made us better people.

Good luck with your code, to my regret i can`t help with your asking.

Cheers!

I`m assuming your using a DLL of some sort to play the flash video,but you havn`t told us which one so it`s a bit hard to help you.If it is a DLL,then why not try your question in the DLL section of the forum,you never know,the author of it may be whatching for threads relating to them and be in a better position to help you.

I have styx but have not used flash as yet.

First of all, you might want to ask a moderator to move this to the DLL board. Just a suggestion.

I looked at your code and since you had made a lot of calculations I lost interest in following the results because of time constraints.

Are you sure that the calculations are correct? The reason I ask is because it should reposition the flash exactly as you have indicated. Information in is information out. If information in is bad then result will be bad.

If you test normal reposition of various values without any calculation variables and they all work then it is more than likely incorrect calculations. Just a thought.

And i`m ignoring that you are ignoring me because you forget to specify (and forget about edit button again...)that you are using DLL which is vital for someone that try to help you?Yes?No?

I tried to be as much polite as possible so i don`t step on the wrong foot with last post, but with your behavior i would "ignore" you even if i find what is the problem you are trying to solve...

Have a nice day!

Mugen, have you noticed trouble always comes to you?

luskos response may have been immature but you cant really expect more when you are so rude to people. Take a look at all the other threads here, people give details about what they want to show or need help with and act mature, and that way no one will get angry.

And make sure your own hands are clean before you start pointing fingers.

Priceless!

PS @ Mugen Wizardry: Why are you always so aggressive towards people who are trying to help you? Talk about biting the hand which feeds you.

Mr. Mugen, seriously, calm down, take a breath, take a chill pill...

luskos was quite polite in his explanation of the "Edit" button. It's there for a reason; so you can update people on your progress of a problem without posting several times in a row. It makes it easier on everybody, including you.

There was absolutely no reason to treat him the way you have. Your attitude towards him was rude and nasty and you didn't have to be. If you continue to treat people who are trying to help you (or give you advice in general) like that, pretty soon you're going to find that nobody in this community of programmers will want to help you or speak to you.

Quote: "i'm mocking him because of his immaturity, so go ahead, lock it, put me on probation, but u know what? he deserves probation too."

Yeah, not really, he was joking around with you after you had been blatantly rude and aggressive to him for no reason.
