kardis : First, I just wanna clarify one thing the “RESIZE” thing. If what you’re talking about is making your movie resize to the viewers resolution, then you would have to make Full Flash Site. I just want to make sure about what you really wanted.

You mean like this http://www.talisaychat.com/main/ ??

PS : What do you mean by CENTRALISE?

If you want to make a Full Flash Movie, you’ll gonna have to change your Publish Settings. Check the Dimensions of your Flash movie and set it to 100% width and 100% height.

Check this print screen so that you won’t get lost.

For me, I use Dreamweaver for my HTML files, so whenever I import my flash movies to my page. I manually insert those options to the source code.

<OBJECT
codeBase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0
height=“100%” width=“100%” classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000>

<PARAM NAME=“movie” VALUE=“flash/scroller.swf”>
<PARAM NAME=“quality” VALUE=“high”>
<PARAM NAME=“menu” VALUE=“false”>
<embed src=“flash/scroller.swf” quality=“high” pluginspage=“http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” width=“100%” height=“100%”></embed></OBJECT>

I hope that’s what you wanted :slight_smile:

[color=blue]I followed your directions, but it won’t work. My site is [/color][color=blue]www.knotwear.com[/color][color=blue]. Please let me know what I’m doing wrong here.[/color]

If what you have on the site is correct, you haven’t changed your embed tag. The width and height settings are still 779x566.

I’m a noob and don’t know how to publish correctly. My designer originally gave me the swf file, the fla file, home.html, index.html and plugin.html. (Here’s where you start laughing) I’m publishing the swf file as specified above, but I don’t know how to have the replacement html files come with it when I publish…do I need to bring the swf file into FrontPage or Dreamweaver? That’s why the size still shows 779x566 [color=blue]www.knotwear.com[/color].

Also, [color=blue]please[/color] help me with this one…

If you click “Contact Us”, you go to the Contact Us page. Now go to the Privacy Policy, scroll down and click one of the Contact Us links within the Privacy Policy. Why does it take you to a version of the Contact Us page with a scroll bar? My code for these buttons is the same code for when you click the main Contact Us, which is:

on (release) (
gotoAndPlay(“Scene Contact Us”, 1);
)

P.S. If it matters, the copy for the Privacy Policy was done as a MC

I’m a noob and don’t know how to publish correctly then. My designer originally gave me the swf file, the fla file, home.html, index.html and plugin.html. [color=blue]([/color][color=blue]Here’s where you start laughing)[/color] I’m publishing the swf file as specified above, but the only HTML file that comes with it is titled “name of FLA file.html” I then change that to “home.html” and upload it to the server. When I do that, it takes FOREVER to load the page. I then put the original home.html file back on the server and it loads fast again, but the size goes back to 779x566. So how do I generate replacement home.html, index.html and plugin.html files?

I also tried to manually edit the home.html file that’s on the server, which you can see now by going to [color=green]www.knotwear.com[/color], but when I do that, it does resize depending on the window size, but it’s distorting…[size=4][color=red]HELP!!![/color][/size]

Okay, so I correctly edited my home.html file manually and the resizing works great now. [color=red]HOWEVER[/color], now that I did that, some of the images on the site look like CRAP!!! What’s going on and how can I correct?

P.S. Instead of manually editing the home.html file, how do you automatically generate a correct one when publishing the SWF file?
