Re: A Panning Shot in Flash?

[John Croteau]

Re Bryan and all,

  I touched on this before.

If you are using the default scaling option Showall and set height (y)

and width (x) as 100%, the movie canvas will maintain its aspect ratio

as set in the authoring enviroment. Only one parameter (x or y) will

fill the screen at 100% (unless the aspect ratio of the browser frame is

exactly the same as canvas). The other dimension parameter will display

the canvas width with space on the sides. The space on the sides is not

neccessarily empty it could be filled with the Flash that originally

appeared off the edges of the canvas in the authoring enviroment (if

there is nothing off canvas it will be blank). If you are panning

horizonally and the aspect ratio is such that the x fills the browser

frame before the y, then the left and right edges will be the same as in

the authoring enviroment. There is some small variation between various

browsers.


If you need an exact cut-off, use top level screens (one on the left and

one on the right) to cover all the graphics that appear off the edges of

the canvas. Align filled rectangles to both the left and the right edges

of the canvas.
