hi all, i was wondering if anyone could help me. i've just finished creating a website using macromedia flash 8. On the screen that i am working with, the text is big and clear, however when viewed at 800x600 resolution on a 17" screen it is fairly small and the info is difficult to read, if you would like for me to copy and past the html please let me know. if any one can help, much would be appreciated!  |

I'm not that expert of Flash, but i can tell you where is the problem: all the elements of the flash "movie" are scaled down in order to fit in the page.
I suggest you make a movie at that resolution (800x600) and try playing with an uniform border color in order to hide the effective size of your flash movie!

Take this advice with an handful of salt (not only a grain  )
Create a table or a div with a background color #000000, centered and with width at 100%.
That way the table will/should resize to the higher resolution.
The table has 3 cells (1 rows and 3 columns).
Inside the central cell, put inside your flash <object> and set it with a resolution of 800x600. Give this cell a fixed width (eg: 800) and leave the other 2 empty.
You may have to tweak with the flash resolution, but the flash movie should remain at the center of the screen even with higher resolutions.
Tell me if you need more info

Do i have to create the tables in a html program like dreamweaver? or do i actually make the changes in the html itself? below i've included my html of my flash file if it helps you. also just to let you know my background is a picture, by changing it to #000000 would that make the background blank? so sorry to trouble you i really do appreciate your help! |
