1. Re: Changing a mask size in an existing flash file
Hi,
Change the height and width for the mask as per the view.
If it is AS2 means
mask._width = 200;
mask._height = 200;
AS3 means
mask.width = 200;
mask.height = 200;

2. Re: Changing a mask size in an existing flash file
Unfortunately, I have not done much action script and I did not know where to place it. I appreciate your help. Perhaps if I tell you what I have done, that might make more sense
1. Change document size from 300x185px to 600x370px. When played the movie stays at 300x185 in size but on a 600x370px stage (screen1).
2. Then I take what I think it is the movie clip, double it in size and make sure it is still on the stage. (screen2-3)
3. When this plays it views the image at the new screen size, but the image is not blurry because it has doubled in size (screen4). This isn't acceptab as one of the images contains a logo.
4. So I reize the image to 600x370px at 72dpi, import it, but the movie/flash is still doubling the image in size, so only part of the image is displayed on the stage. (screen5).
This is where I hit a deadend, I am not sure where to go, what to change.
Any help or advice you can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nikola

Your attachment wasn`t added properly. Try to post it again. Better would be the fla-files, of course.

5. Re: Changing a mask size in an existing flash file
Not sure why? It just says queued... I have tried individual files this time.
I am thinking I will give it to our web agency as I am on a timeline, although I would like to know how to not have issues like this.
I have a course booked, but not in time for this job.
Thanks for any help you can offer...

6. Re: Changing a mask size in an existing flash file
when you doubled the size (xscale and yscale) of the movie clip, you made its contents twice as big.
delete the large movieclip from the stage
drag the movieclip with the new large image in it from the library to stage into the proper layer.
this will bring the movieclip onto the stage at 100% its natural size.
the reason you can't change the size of the mask object might be that it is in a layer that is locked.
if you see a lock icon next to the layer name, click on it to unlock. now you can resize it.
just guessing with the last part.
try uploading jpgs or zipping all your attachments into one file
best,
