Y-Scaling

One of the Flash movie's properties is Y SCALE. You may both set and get this property. The Y SCALE property designates the scaling factor of the movie frame in the y direction. You can set and get Flash properties by their sequence numbers. The Y POSITION property is no. 3, so you get its value by going:

  mySwf.TGetProperty(timeline, 3);

And you set it in a similar way:

  mySwf.TSetProperty(timeline, 3, value);

Play the following movie by clicking the Play link. Get the Y SCALE of the movie by clicking the Get Y SCALE link. It should be 100 (the initial scale is 100%). Scale the movie frame in the y direction by 300% by clicking the Set Y SCALE link:

Here is the source code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="flashcheck2.js">

<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf2.Rewind();
 return false">Rewind</A> |
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf2.Play();
 return false">Play</A> |
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:alert(mySwf2.
 TGetProperty('/', 3)); return false">

<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf2.
