Is there a way to show objects outside of the stage in HTML5 Canvas

Hello all, 

 

      I am transitioning a Flash Game to HTLM5 Canvas (who isn't right?) and this board has been such a great reference for me. I believe I am about done, and everything is as it should except for the AS3 equivalent of stage.SHOW_ALL. My stage is 1024 x 768 and usually the off stage elements just get revleaved on screens that are larger. Then I just test for the screen size and adjust from there. 

 

Is anything like this possible in HTML5 \ CreateJS?

Thanks

Correct answer ClayUUID

The stage in HTML5 Canvas documents is a single HTML5 canvas element. So no, it's impossible for a canvas element to display anything outside of itself. If you want your display area to be adaptive, you'll have to dynamically change the resolution of the canvas.

Thanks, 

    

     Thats what a figured but I thought I would see if I was missing something or if people had a "trick" to achieve the same results. I unforuntely hardcoded many x and y coordinates. Cheers
