  • Page Resizing

    To adjust page size you will have to adjust a few movie clips. All can be found in your library. Here are some tips on what to do.

    1. “Spread Background” mc. Change the graphic inside this clip to the new page size

    2. “Spread Size” mc. Change the graphic inside this clip to the new page spread size (2 pages side by side)

    3. Inside “Spread” mc move the “Page Corner” mc’s to the edge of the page spread.

    4. Also Inside “Spread” mc, you will see a layer labeled “Spreads”. On that layer is a mc called “Magazine Spreads”. Position that mc’s x co-ordinate exactly half the width of “Spread Size” mc. The y coordinate should be 0.

    5. In the library click inside the movieclip “Spread Change Mask” and change the width of the red graphic to your total pages width. Forinstance if one of your pages is 400 px wide, the red graphic should be 800 px wide, then realign it to the right.

    6. And finally you will need to adjust the following movieclips to match your new pages height, “glow mask” and “shadow mask”

    We have a similar problem with Page Resizing as has been noted on page 7.

    We changed the pages / spreads sizes as per instructions but we also get a brief “flash” or “blink” just before page changes.

    It occurs only on the far left edge of the left facing pages ( right face pages do not display this behavior). You can see the content of the next page in this small blink / flash area just before the page turns.

    Probably just me but after tinkering with it for a while I thought you might have some insights.

    go to the below URL to see a sample of the problem: www.wam.com/mag/

    Click the “click to email” text to send us an email address to forward sample FLA files if you wish.

    THX RTM

    ps great work!

    dreadhead247- Make sure your running php 5.0

    randyTM- You haven’t adjusted the graphics on each frame to fill the new page size, once you do that the other pages won’t show through.

    “dreadhead247- Make sure your running php 5.0

    randyTM- You haven’t adjusted the graphics on each frame to fill the new page size, once you do that the other pages won’t show through.”

    . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    Hmmmmm…

    Can you be more specific about “graphics”. We assume this means the bitmap images that appear on each page (i.e. each bitmap must be made the same dimension as the new page size, less the page boarders).

    We started over and stepped through the process once again (this time dimensioning up the bitmap graphics as well) and unfortunately achieved the same results. (new post here www.wam.com/mag/).

    Even with no bitmap or graphic linked to a page the artifact still persists.

    It’s odd that artifact only appears on the left pages but not on the right. We are working in CS3 . Could that be an issue?

    It sort of looks like the “Spread Size” mc is not the right width or offset to far to the right. I am experimenting with this path now . . . If you have any other suggestion they would be welcome.

    I have read through all the comments and it doesnt appear that anyone has encountered the same problem as me. I’m trying to resize the pages, I have followed your instructions and it all seems fine, except when I turn the page. As i drag the bottom corner down theres a strange cut off point, almost like a mask is at the wrong angle, I’ve looked into the code and checked the steps one by one and it seems to be the “Spread Size” mc. Do you know what I’m doing wrong, or how to fix this? Thanks!

    Hi, I’ve been trying to add a link to the end of the brochure so that you can return to the beginning without having to flick through all the pages.

    I can’t get it working. Do you know what code I would have to add to my button to get it to go back to the start page?

    Any help appreciated, Thanks.

    Hi I bought your file reciently and it works really well, except I am having trouble with the preloader. It is not coming up untill basically 100% so there is a big blank gap, which is not so good. I have kept your code intact for the preloader as provided, do you have any ideas or fixes. thanks

    Hi,

    I would like a purchase a Greeting Card flip effect. The card would be solid, instead of a peeling, it would just flip.

    Anyone know where to find one? Or want to write one?

    thanks! ~G

    bchandler-Make sure to place any new images you are using on the bottom layer called “bitmaps” and that under “linkage” for each image make sure “Export in the first frame” is NOT checked.

    matuvu-Create a movieclip on the frame you want the movie to load. Give the movieclip an instance name, then type the following in the AS layer above
    instancename.loadMovie("yourmovie.swf");
    If your external movie has _root in the code add the following below the code above
    instancename._lockroot=true;

    NajwaTheQueen-Thanks, yes actionscript. Posted about 6 hours ago
