How to create fixed size swf in pure AS3 only

Question

Hi guys,,, I was wondering if there are anyways to get the fixed size swf file when I build my AS3 only project in Flex environment. I can't use scaleMode="noScale" since my swf is very small. I don't want it expand it to full browser winder either. Are there anyways to do it? Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Your Application is sort of like a Canvas inside of the flash player. Thus, you can give it a fixed size (with the width and height attributes), but that will just reduce its size inside the flash player. I don't think you can mess with this in pure AS3 - you'd need to change the underlying HTML (although, you may be able to do this with ExternalInterface, which allows you to call javascript methods on the HTML page...).

Use metadata above the main class declaration

[SWF(width="400", height="125")]
public class MyAS3Project extends Sprite
