my laptop is set up to 1024x768 and im making a CV in flash that im going to put onto cd and send off etc… the movie is set that when opened with the flash player it goes fullscreen automatically… now if i send it off the someone who has a bigger or small resolution than mine its gonna look pretty crap…

is there anyway i can combat this problem or is it just a case of giving the person who recieves it the correct instruction on what res to view it?

OR can i lock the size so that on a bigger res monitor it wont stretch and pixelate when it goes full screen?

are there any guide lines to resolution or size limits that should be remembered when making website or anything else?

olá,

Just like you must be using

```auto

fscommand("fullscreen", "true");

```

You can use

```auto

fscommand("allowscale", "false");

```

which will keep the movie at the size you created it.

I’d say that this solves the problem for higher resolutions (although the content may appear too small).  
People with lower resolutions… should buy decent monitors.
