FULLSCREEN FLASH ADVANCED

Your talent is unbelievable! My hat is off and I’m bowing to you. Thanks!

Just wanted to point out, that..

... if your content MC (in the file its instance name is ‘mid’ is SMALLER than the browser windows height, it disabled the scrollbar properly, but the mouse wheel function still is active, and causes a bug which just scrolls your content down.

To fix it, put the same ‘if’ check on the mouse wheel function as is on the scrollbut onPress function. Below is the mousewheel code fixed:

mouseListener = new Object();

mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {
    if (Stage.height <= mid._height) {
    MouseWheelInt = Stage.height/100; 
    delta = MouseWheelInt*delta;
    scrollbut._y -= delta;
    if (scrollbut._y < 0) {
    scrollbut._y = 0;
    }
    if (scrollbut._y > (Stage.height-scrollbut._height)) {
    scrollbut._y = (Stage.height-scrollbut._height);
    }
    }
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

Great file btw Richardson, I’ve used it countless times and love it to death If you’ve already fixed this, then disregard!

Im about ready to purchase this, however I would like to know if the images are loaded into it by xml and how I would go about having a menu that would change the content thats being scrolled and move the scroll bar back up to the top if its not. Thanks!

Are those content (with the drawings) external movies?

if not, it would be better! ex: if someone had a portfolio, it would load as many content as possible, not increasing the file.

I could you make the mouse wheel button work as soon as the page load, without having to click somewhere on the page to enable it ?

@gabrielsantana

No they are not. Since the point of this file isn’t to increase usability, it’s so showcase the fullscreen code among a few other useful code snippets.

@djlaw

I don’t quite understand what your saying, but it is absolutely possible to have a button with AS assigned to it inside an existing symbol (a MovieClip symbol of course).

Instead of putting the code directly on the button, give the button an instance name of ‘theBtn’ and then apply the below Actionscript to the frame the button exists on:

theBtn.onRelease = function() { //put your desired executed code here }

@JPB

That’s a general flash usability error. Even go to a highly developed site such as www.thefwa.com and it will have the same error. I’m not saying there isn’t a fix though…but I’m almost positive no one has found one yet.

@lenwonwu

Are you sure that you are exporting the movie for AS2 and not AS3 . The actionscript in this file is not written for AS3 and if you export it many of the functions will not work.

Any known issues with the scroller (both mouse and wheel) on Mac, PC and/or Browsers suchs as Safari, Firefox, IE? A few fullscreen scrollers on this site have had problems with Safari (Mac & PC). I can’t afford to have my clients viewers be scrolless because the majority of the content is on the bottom of the page. Using 100% 100% content placement. Thanks.

Am I the only one with this problem. The content ease from top to bottom but not left to right and right to left. Any Clue ????

Does this work on mac?

For me the mousewheel doesn’t work at all on the preview.
