--> Detecting Screen Resolution WITHIN Flash? <--
hello,
I'm trying to detect the screen resolution so I can determine weather to open the site in a fixed window (popup like), or a standard scrollable one. For some reason though it doesn't seem to know what screen.width / height is, or javascript:screen.width / height.
Here's the code so far:
on (release) {
if ((screen.width>=1024) && (screen.height>=768))
{
getURL("javascript:window.open('Cebula.htm','thewi n','width=720,height=674,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no, top=0,left=50'); void(0);");
}
else
{
getURL("Cebula.htm", "_blank");
}
}
The result is always the execution of the else case (my res is 1600x1200). I'm out of ideas, so please please please let me know if you have any idea where I'm going wrong.
thanks a ton,
Adam

Detecting Screen Resolution And Scale The Movie In Flash. Possible?
Hi,
There is a
ActionScript Code:
System.capabilities.screenResolutionX;
and a
System.capabilities.screenResolutionY;
When the screen resolution is detected, is that possible to scale up/down
the movie from flash itself (no java) according to the user screen resolution? Could you please tell me how?
Is that a standard ratio for different resolutions?
And the last question:
If there are external swf movies which are loaded into the main movie, is that enough to give the scaling up/down in the main movie once?
thanks

Detecting Screen Resolution (Win 2K)
How do I detect the user's screen resolution (Win 2K)--I will be using a standalone player and want to make one version for 800x600 and another for 1024x768 (not everything to scale up).
Does anyone know how to detect screen size?
And I have to do it all from one .exe (can't load outside URLs, though I could write a file to disk then read it.)
Thanks!

Detecting Screen Resolution
Please help, I need to get a screen res. detector which will then send the user to the specified page for their resolution.
Ie
if (System.capabilities.screenResolutionY<=480) {
getURL("page_1.htm", "_self");
} else if (System.capabilities.screenResolutionY<=600) {
getURL("page_2.htm", "_self");
} else if (System.capabilities.screenResolutionY<=624) {
getURL("page_3.htm", "_self");
} else {
getURL("page_4.htm", "_self");
;

Another Question: Detecting Screen Resolution
Is there a way to dettect the current screen resolution? I was hoping there was a way to detect it so the swf could scale appropriately. For example if the current resolution is 1024 x 768 but if it is anything more it only maxamizes rather than fullscreen. Anyone with any ideas would be very helpful. Thanx.

Detecting The Screen Resolution: Some Questions.
Hi everyone,
Building a Flash Web site. What a nice challenge. Now, I was wondering.
When you visit www.b7ven.com, the pseudo preloader on the first page displays your screen resolution. How do you do that? This must be some dynamic text, but what is the code behind this?
I have found a jack of all trade code here: http://moock.org/asdg/technotes/echoVersion/
But not only that. You will notice that, if you have a low resolution, you will see the word "fail" instead of "ok". But that does not change anything cause the "enter" button still works and load the main Flash site.
A good practice would have brought you to another site, html perhaps where we can see the content. No? What is your opinion on this subject?
Thanks for your feedback.

Detecting Screen Resolution + Setting An If / Else Statement For An Fscommand...
Hi there, I'm not sure if this is possible but what I'm hoping to do is detect if a user's display resolution is less than 1024 x 768 as a flash projector file is launched - then depending on the result I want to select one of the following commands to ensure that no cropping occurs of my final file:
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
fscommand("allowscale", "true");
Hope that makes sense, any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

How Do I Get The Screen Resolution With Flash?
I have made 2 versions of my website, 1 for 800x600 and the other for 1024x768.
So, I have an intro page where there will be a link in the SWF saying "Enter site" (obviously).
So,
1. How do I make a link in an SWF?
2. I want the link to open main1.htm in the existing whole window if the resolution is 800x600 (or basically just not 1024x768)
and, the link should open main2.htm in the exsting whole window if the screen resolution is 1024x768.
Could anyone post a step by step way to do the same??

Can Flash Player Set Screen Resolution?
Is there a way to have the flash player temprarily change the screen resolution?
I have a .exe presentation burned to disc that autoruns at fullscreen and i set the fscommand "scale" to false, b/c if it scales to fullscreen, it will run VERY slow. BUT, if the screen resolution can be changed to something like 800x600 for the length of the movie, the presentation will appear bigger without slowing anyones' system.
Can it be done?
Thanks.

Please Help Screen Capture Resolution For Flash
Hi,
When I screen capture [using RoBo ScreenCapture] either web pages off the Net, or dialog boxes of programs [I'm using Flash for a presentation instead of PP] the images are pixelated or fuzzy or well, not good enough.
Let me explain In using RoBo, I make the capture at the highest Jpeg resolution possible. When I bring the jpeg into Flash [import directly into Library] and bring on the stage, I have to resize the image because it is too big for the stage [being 800X600]. The projector I will be using for the presentation is 800X600.so I set the stage for that.
When I publish the file and review it [setting my monitor to 800X600] the images look terrible.
Maybe I should explain that when I do the screen captures at first, my monitor is set at 1600X1200.
Should I set it at 800X600 when doing the captures first? I mean, does this affect the final output of the resolution of the jpg's when they are placed in Flash after the capture and import into the Library?
I have had to make captures of web pages, so I have my monitor set at 1600X1200 normally so I can get the most real estate on the screen as possible. I make the screen captures using that monitor setting. But I have my Flash movie stage set at 800X600.
My questions are:
1. Should I do the captures with the monitor set at 800X600 if the Flash stage is 800X600? If so, why?
2. If the projector resolution is 800X600, can I set my Flash stage at a higher size [resolution], say 1024X768? Will that actually affect the resolution when the Flash movie is projected on a projector with an 800X600 resolution if the Flash movie stage is larger?
3. What affects the final resolution output of the BMP images [jpeg's] in Flash for a presentation like I am doing?
4. What size should I capture the images at so I don't have to resize them in Flash?
WHAH! I just want this presentation to be successful. It's a training session on educating folks on computer virus prevention/protection from and ID theft, something this world is in dire need of!
Thanks in advance form anyone who can help me,
Ellen

Does Flash Recognize The Screen Resolution
Hello,
I'm creating an animation to be embedded into a HTML page.
I have html text somewhere in the background of the animation so I need to make the animation's bg transparent. What I am confused now is that what size I need to consider for my Flash animation's width since the screen resolution will be different in different users' monitors!? Is Flash able to recognize the screen dpi somehow so to be able to decrease or increase the width accordingly by itself, and in order not to overlap the html text? I truly appreciate your response.
Thanks so much for your help.

2-Does Flash Recognize The Screen Resolution
Hello,
I got some responses through this title which were very helpful, however for embedding my animation I still have problems. The thing is that I need to place my animation, with a transparent background, over a layout in an html page! There are lots of div tags which confuse me. Everywhere I embed my animation goes before or after the layout and doesn't sit over the whole layout... I am not a technical person and thought I can place it into a table and done but it wasn't that easy....Does anybody can help me, please? I truly appreciate it. If you need the pages and sources I can send them too. Here is my email address: Mojan. Please let me know if anybody needed the source code in order to help me out.
Thanks a lot.

Resizing A Flash Movie To Fit Screen Resolution
Ok...I know that I can use fscommand to get a movie to fullscreen in the flash player...but how can i do it in a browser window? From the splash page, the main page opens full screen using javascript, but the flash movie stays at it's set dimensions, even when i change the width and height parameters (to a percentage...can this be done?) in the HTML.
Is there a way to get the movie to resize to always fit the window that is opened, and hence each individual users resolution?
thanks....

Flash On Lg Plasma Screen -- Resolution Concerns?
hi all,
just a quick question to see if anyone has any input, i did some searching on google and came up with nil.
does anyone know if there are any issuess that need to be taken into consideration when playing a flash movie on a large plasma screen monitor? my concern, primarily, is resolution.
if i design in flash a presentation that plays on a regular 17" computer monitor at 1024x768, when blown up to a large 72" plasma screen will it retain the same degree of crispness and clarity as the original? what about bitmap images? if the images used in the project are at 72dpi when they are imported into flash, will their quality not be affected when played on a large plasma screen?
anyone has any knowledge or advice or knows where i can read up on this online, drop me a reply.
thanks in advance,

Flash Screen Resolution/resize Question.
I have a large (dimensions) swf that I am trying to adapt for various resolutions. Is there a way to scale this based on resolution, or is necessary to build multiple sizes of the swf?
A good example of what we are trying to achieve is www.tronicstudio.com. The way the site relaunches full screen no matter what screen resolution you view it at is exactly what we are hoping to do.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Flash Business Presentation- Screen Resolution Help.....
Here's the deal. I'm creating a presentation on my laptop which has a 1440x900 resolution. Now, once it's hooked up to the projector, the projector automatically changes my screen res to 1024x768, which completely distorts everything and it gets blurry and not visually appealing.
What I'd like to do is to figure out a way around this. Like maybe some way to reduce my screen res to 1024x768, but maintain proportions with black borders like on a DVD that's been formatted to fit your screen. Something like that. Can anybody think of anything?
Thanks in advance.

How Can I Resize My Flash Site To Fit Any Screen Resolution?
I built a 100% flash site with tiled framing but I have a problem. My flash was built 766 x 750 pixiels. When viewed at resolutions greater than 1024x768 the webpage looks great but anything less than that it looks like @#$@. I know most people probably view at 1024 x 768. Is there anyway to auto resize based up on screen resolution or something to detect the screen size and adjust the webpage accordingly.

Getting Flash To Accept Users Screen Resolution...
Hello, i am puzzled over this. I would to make a site which is just flash. so the whole page would be flash, but if i was to size it on my own screen, it would only be the size that i set it because it fits on my screen, but someone else might have a bigger or smaller screen so it would look silly on theirs. i have looked at a tutorial on this about setting publish settings to no scale and percentage=100% but it didnt work on the whole screen becaus when i right click and the flash menu came up (once i had put it on the web) it only went to some of the page and didnt cover the rest. i would like the right click menu to be all over the page i have seen websites which have this. please help.
Thanks alot

P.S. I hope i explained it well enough

Finding User's Screen Resolution From Inside Flash
I seem to remember a guy named Subway on the Flashkit forums that had some script in his footer that could tell you what your screen resolution is at.
I was trying to findout how he did this because I need to use it for something.
I have a flash file I made that inside the flash movie I set the stage to noScale.. but apparently it is just barely too big for someone using 800x600 resolution. So I wanted to do a quick check in Flash that would not set the stage to noScale if the users resolution was 800x600 or below.
Does anyone know how to use this code.
I think it has something to do with the System object.
thanks

Maintaining Flash Movie Screen Resolution Size
Hello, I wonder if there is anyway that one can design a site in flash that will display at the same same, regardless of what the viewer's screen resolution is?
My resolution is 1280x768 but when others view my site with a lower resolution (ie 800x600) then my site is too large. It is really frustrating as if I design my site at a higher resolution, the text is too small for a high resolution screen....UGH !!!
Please give any advice possible...thanks so much
