Default Help on: Adjusting screen sizes, user defined - 11-01-2004 , 10:50 AM






Hey guys,

Im using dreamweaver to build a webpage with Flash animations, but I got a
problem.

I've made a custom sized animation on flash (1000x600), inserted it in a html
page using dreamweaver. It displays perfectly within my screen configuration.
But then, i checked on other users browsers to see if it was ok, and it was
wrong big time. Then i started wondering about people using 800x600
configuration on their screen, and i simulated it. The result was a disaster, i
had to scroll meters...

Anyway, im trying to find an answer for this, a way to force the current
user's browser, or a way for the flash file to respect the screen and browser
configuration so it shows correctly to each user, depending on their current
configuration.

1st of all, is this possible?

If so how can i do it? Is there a code i should use?

2nd - Is the index.html with two different versions (800x600 & 1024x768) the
only way to solve this?

Thanks for your time, i hope for an aswer soon.

Yikes! That is *way* too big.

Not only that, but screen resolution isn't what you need to worry
about...it's the size of the user's browser's viewport...which is often
smaller than the screen resolution.

Never force anything upon the user. That's bad practice.

Set the size of the flash file to a percentage width.

That won't solve anything except for those two types of monitors with people
that maximize their browser and turn off all browser chrome and don't
display their bookmarks tab, etc.
