Hi, I’ve done a flash site, and i am quite happy with it, the problem is that i now think its appears a bit small on screen, is there an easy way i can make it appear bigger without having to go into my fla’s and increasing the size of everything.

Heres the site [www.minigoals.com](http://www.minigoals.com)

any help would be appreciated!

it’s fine.

if you go larger, you will lose quality. to see what it would look like, simply right click and zoom in.

but your site is sized perfectly fine. almost half of your visitors will still be on 800x600 resolution.

A very quick way to increase the size is to simply set the height and width dimensions in the HTML embedding to a higher value. This way does bring the quality down though.

only if you have raster (jpg/bmp/gif) images, the whole point of having vector images is that they are as fine on a post stamp than on a 10x3 feet banner =) (or a 10000x3000 px flash file)

true mlk, but he does have raster images, so that is why I suggested he zoom in to see what I meant…

I’m using 800x600 currently. The thingy looks twice as big as my screen…I don’t know if that what you were going for but I’m just tellin’ ya. 😛

You can just point the browser to the SWF file instead of the HTML file. The browser will automatically increase the SWF to full screen. THat will do that trick for ya.
