Flash movie zoom help

activewebdesign · 11-10-2008, 11:17 PM

Code:

<object width="100%" height="150">
<param name="movie" value="weatherwhite.swf">
<embed src="weatherwhite.swf" width="260px" height="150px">
</embed>
</object>

How can i keep this movie always zoomed in? even after refresh.

Any ideas would be great,

Thanks.

Explain exactly what you mean when you say "zoomed in". Do you mean right clicking and hitting zoom or what?

Hello well yes the same as right click zoom as it is going on a menu system for a hotel, and they wont be able to right click zoom so i must have this done automaticly.

The page refreshes every 25 minutes so i need it to stay zoomed after fresh too.

Thanks!

You would need to set cookies with the flash settings, but since you haven't given us anything to go by I couldn't tell you how this would really function. But Flash is stateless, so if you refresh the page (without setting a cookie, connecting to an external data source, or session) there is no way to track the events in Flash.

Well you can make sure that when it refreshes, it zooms back instantly by having it redirect to itself with a variable attached to the url onload. Then use that variable (also onload) to zoom in.

Or less messy would be setting a cookie onunload and grabbing it onload.

EDIT: looks like jeremy already said that, sorry to double post
