[Xerte] Scaling graphic using scale9grid

[Julian Tenney]

Use iconID.clip to get the laoded movie clip itself and try scaling
that.

 

Somewhere in my memory banks I also have experience of this not working
quite the way I wanted it to - the white panels in toolkits are a good
example where I tried it. I'll have another tinker at some point , but
busy today,

Hi all,

 

Julian's away so expect a better answer later.

 

You've done everything I would have done, bar perhaps looking at using
one of the flex components that should be in the common folder in the
install.

 

In the page templates.xtp there should be some example of a scaling flex
swf that contains pictures.

 

The text graphics page would be the one I would use for inspiration, it
uses common/whitePanel.swf

 

Though looking at how this code works, it appears it just uses two movie
clips and scales them independently - so maybe this is a work around?

 

Pat

	Dear list, 
	
	I created a background graphic with rounded corners in Flash
using a scale9grid and put it as instance "bg" on the stage. I want to
load the swf as graphic in Xerte and scale the bg instance to the w and
h parameter I set in Xerte. The problem is that Xerte scales the root of
the movie and thus the bg instance gets distorted. Is there a
possibility (similar to the scaling of buttons using the setSize
function) to "redirect" the scaling to the bg instance of the loaded
swf? As workaround I use a script which scales the swf back to it's
original size and than scales the bg instance to the required size, but
this is not very elegant. I also tried to use a component instead and
put the w and h parameter in the initObject. But components seem to
support Flash 7 at the most and I think scale9grid was introduced in
Flash 8 ... 
	Thanks for your help. 
	
	Peter
