It works!!! Only one thing. When I load the background image (brfh) it position itself at the top left at first. But when I resize the browser window it goes when i want it to be (bottom right). I think I have to call the function again when I load it.. because at the moment it's set as an OnResize event. Is it possible to recall that function from an external swf file? Thanks a lot for the quick response Paul.

If so, you could do this but altering the layoutManager class to include another case, let's call it 'brfh' - // Case 'brfh' (upper or lowercase) - bottom right fullscreen //height scale accordingly case 'BRFH': case 'brfh': //align right mc._x = Stage.width-mc._width-topMargin; //align bottom mc._y = Stage.height-mc._height-leftMargin; //fullscreen height only mc._height = Stage.height-topMargin; break; I think that should do what you are looking to acheive Thanks for the kind words all - Didjerama, are you trying to place a background image on the bottom right which will increase in height, but not width? If so, you could do this but altering the layoutManager class to include another case, let’s call it ‘brfh’ -

// Case ‘brfh’ (upper or lowercase) - bottom right fullscreen //height scale accordingly

case ‘BRFH’:
case ‘brfh’:
//align right
mc._x = Stage.width-mc._width-topMargin;
//align bottom
mc._y = Stage.height-mc._height-leftMargin;
//fullscreen height only
mc._height = Stage.height-topMargin;
break;

I think that should do what you are looking to acheive

I really appreciate it. I'm making my first fullscreen flash website and I used this tutorial to organize the different elements on my page. It all works fine, the only problem I have at the moment is this: onRelease I would like to load a background image which is aligned bottom right. It should resize when you reduce/increase the browser window so that its height is equal to the browser window itself. I hope you can give me a little help on this one. Thank you. Dear Paul,

Thank you so much putting this up. First time I feel I am in control of placement of swfs relative to browser. Oh, this is really helpful!!!

However, upon looking at your fla files, there is no way to achieve what you are trying to. If you want to load external swf files within your main movie, you must create a “container” movie clip within your main movie for the external clip you wish to load to reside in. Marco, I think what you are trying to achieve can be done via usage of the tween class. Have a read <a href="http://www.monkeyflash.com/flash/tween-class/" title="monkeyflash" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.petitpub.com/labs/media/flash/astween/" title="petitpub" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a> for detailed explanations including examples. I also plan on doing a tween tutorial soon….. Rami, apologies for the lack of prompt response - have been out of town on a family emergency.

One question... how do I specify, for example, a symbol to only scale at a certain percentage of the page? I want a button which scales with the page, but the text inside it to remain of fixed size... is there already a Flash function which does this? Thanx!!! Hi! - Great work.

If not, you can embed multiple external swf's into your main flash movie via loadMovie and even preload them if that's what you are after. And, you can always use gotoAndPlay if you are looking to skip to certain frame..... Rami - not sure exactly what you got there, if you could post a link to your source files I’ll take a look?
