Salut a tous,

I have a problem (like most people coming here…), or it’s not a problem it’s more a general question. On my site I have a full-flash-background, it’s included with swfobject and the swf-size adjusts to the page.

The site can be viewed at [http://jonasjohansson.se/](http://jonasjohansson.se)

My little MacBook begins to spin a bit from this and I am trying to reduce this as much as possible. And in here lies the basis of my question.

[LIST]  
[\*]If I know that the swf will scale alot should I make the original-swf larger? Does it matter if a 10x10 swf get’s resized to 1024x768 or if it’s allready 600x600 and then get’s resized?  
[/LIST]

[LIST]  
[\*]Also, is it better to make the swf with ActionScript and not “manually”? I know that the FPS plays a large role but I would like to have it at least 18.  
[/LIST]

Extremely grateful for a response!

And, I have made some tests but it’s really hard to guess, I made the gradient with ActionScript and I could not find any difference. The only real thing I can see is when I change the FPS. But still, if someone knew more about this I would be glad!
