Help Me Kirupa Please!

programming flash
1

Hey, I’m a new member, but I’ve been using flash for about 2-3 months now so i’ve got the basics down.

what I’ve done is imported my completed flash banner and top-nav menu thingy into dreamweaver, the site content falls below in a table.

now, what i’m trying to do, (and what i need help with), is to have the content shrink and enlarge as the browser-window resizes.

I have already tried the auto-stretch functions built in to dreamweaver’s tables, but what I’m trying to do is to have it resize just as Kirupa’s site does, in that the content goes is in the center in a table, and the two sides scale with the browser windows.

that’s what i’m trying to do anyway, so please anyhelp would be great!

ps. sorry about putting this in the FlashMx section, but there really wasn’t another place to put it, and also sorry about my bed grammar:)

Thanks in advance for the help you fine people will surely give!

In your tables, don’t specify a width and height…

Instead of having WIDTH=“550” HEIGHT=“400” have WIDTH=“x%” HEIGHT=“x%”

This will of course make your tables more complicated to align, but if you use this method often you will get used to it enough to not have many problems with it.

What it does is specifies the content to be within a certain % of the window area, so if you window area shrinks, so will the table, because it will be the same percent of a smaller area.

Hope this helps you.

EDIT: I shouldn’t have to say this, but I will anyways…
Replace x with your own numbers.
