I have created a website 900px by 600px, and need to know how to make the site so that its size is dependant on the users resolution.( I have had complaints of the text being too big in 800 by 600, but too small in 1600px by 1200px)
the site itself is created in flash 5 if that is of any use.(although wouldn’t it be something more to do with the html coding?
cheers to anyone that can help!!!

sounds like you are allowing your swf to scale so you are at the mercy of the user’s browser window. i guess you’ll have to use a javasript function that determines the browser resolution and then selects the swf for that size. i think you will have to make multiple swfs.
i would recommend not scaling the swf so that it is always the same size. this way the font and images will stay the same size.
so the swf might fill a 800X600 window and only fill part of a 1024X768, but the swf itself will always be the same size (900X600).
hope this helps and good luck

No no no no no no!! :!:
In the width and height parameters of the swf just put **100%** , and it will scale automaticly across the user’s window!!
:cool:

that’s a good idea 😏
you can detect the resolution through this line of code so you can redirect directly from flash
[color=red]System.capabilities.screenResolutionX
