Is Flash Optimized For 800x600?
I had problems with 1024x768 flash applications. When I run tests I found that fps drops when MC crosses 800x600 resolutions.
Specifics:
I made flash file with resolution 1024x768 and made an MC(movieclip) that increased it height and width and changed alpha. It hasn’t had any problems until the rectangle extended 800x600+.
SWF is made for 30 fps. With one movieclip it was 29-30 before 800x600 and 21 after. With 10 movieclips it was 28-30 before and 9-10 after.
I checked fps with the code:
Attach Code
Current = getTimer();
trace(1000/(Current-Last));
Last=Current;

Ensuring My Flash Site Is Optimized For Search Engines...?
How do I ensure that I do all I can to make sure my Flash site is optimized for the web. My site consists of an .swf embedded in a single Html page (duh)
What things should I consider?
Are there special ways that I should be doing things differently with this in mind (like the use of various text fields in my movie)?
I honestly have no idea where to start. At the moment I've just added some relevant key words/meta tags to the Html page.
Many thanks in advance of your responses.

Best (optimized) Ways To Present Text+images In Flash
I'm wondering how to present in a good way in Flash the information contained in each option of the menu. So, each section will be a mix of text+pictures, only text, or a picture gallery.
I want it to be as dynamic as possible (no loadMovie with pre-made movies for each option or so), everything will be read from a database or xml, so I'd like to create it with Actionscript as much as possible.
So, how could I dynamically create one section with for instance a title with its background and its own font, an image, and the text of the content flowing around it with another font and size?
I thought on creating an empty movieclip and populate it with two textfields (placed on their corresponding locations) and the image, but how do I flow the text around it? Is CSS the only way?

Height Of Flash For 800x600
Hey guys,
I was wondering what height you guys usually use for an online flash site if you don't want people to scroll. On an 800x600 resolution of course, but also what are your thoughts on designing for 1024x768 displays? Is this allready a viable option or should we stick to webstandards and design for 800x600?

Enabling Scrolling In Flash Movie When Resolution Is 800x600
I am using fullscreen flash, and it works great at all resolutions, but when using 800x600, the swf gets cut up and makes it unusable.
A simple solution would be to re-direct people using 800x600 to a seperate page, but it's far from perfect as it would require more work.
Right now I am using Stage.scalemode ="noscale"; on the movie. How would I go about either enabling scrollbars on 800x600 or when someone's mouse goes to the bottom of the flash movie, it scrolls down by itself?
I assume it would be done using stageListener.onResize, but i do not know how to implement it.
any help would be very appreciated
Thanks

Optimized Swf
hi!
i am doing a lot of search on how to optimize a flash site, but i'm not having the right answers...
i am rebuilding a web site (all in flash) and there is a portfolio section devide in 7 different movies (they are between 300 k and 1.5 meg that is to big...)
before there was about 200 images in png format with transparency...so i decide to save all the images in the portfolio section in jpeg format (no transparency)
so they are less big (exemple 1 image was 200k and now is 16k)
before the movie swf was 1meg...and now.....1meg again!
i dont understand!
how can it be explain
any help will be appreciated

Can These Be Optimized More?
I would like to turn this code into something simpler.
I was thinking that I could use a function to do the work, not sure if that would make the process run smoother but figured it couldnt hurt.
Anyway If there is a way you think I can optimize this code in some way let me know.
I am looking to optimize performance wise.
Code:
cx = _parent.circle._x;
cy = _parent.circle._y;
R = _parent.circle._width / 2;
b1 = (Y - oldy1) / (X - oldx1);
bc = -1 * (1 / b1);
a1 = (Y - (X * b1));
ac = (cy - (cx * bc));
xi = (a1 - ac) / (bc - b1);
yi = (b1) * xi + a1;
cl = ((xi - cx) * (xi - cx)) + ((yi - cy) * (yi - cy));
cl1 = ((X - cx) * (X - cx)) + ((Y - cy) * (Y - cy));
cl2 = ((oldx1 - cx) * (oldx1 - cx)) + ((oldy1 - cy) * (oldy1 - cy));
cl = Math.sqrt(cl);
cl1 = Math.sqrt(cl1);
cl2 = Math.sqrt(cl2);
if (xi != undefined and X > xi and xi > oldx1 and cl < R or cl1 < R or cl2 < R) {
_parent.circle.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
_parent.circle.gotoAndStop(1);
}

Jpg Optimized By Code
hi, i have a site with a load of images in swf's. i have optimized the images from the library, to around 90%.
now instead i would like to load external jpg's into flash, so not embed them in their own swf first
my question is, is it possible to have code optimize the jpg to 90% quality.
so basically code would load the jpg and render it at 90% quality.
any help would be wonderful,

Help With Optimized AI : Pathfinding
I am building a TD style game :
bad guys come out froma "start" area and head for the "end area" and you place towers in there path to atack them and try to stop them.
problem is, i dont have a pathfinding code that is good enough as the tile based map is constantly changing as the player puts towers into the game area changing the tileset and thus needing new path computed. stacking this with the fact that there could potentialy be an incredable amount of "bad guys" trying to find there way to "the end" at higher waves.

UI Components Are Not Optimized Are They?
I've noticed that adding the standard UI components like checkboxes, radios etc. really bloat up the final .swf filesize. Branden Hall wrote something a while ago saying that although each component may be heavy filesize wise, most of them share resources. So if you add a checkbox, your swf goes up by ~6kb. But if you also add a combobox (or whatever) the final swf would only go up by little more (i.e. not 6kb more).
But I find that if Im trying to build a form using flash, I use a lot of the UI components together. Im looking at a project I'm working on that is mostly script. I have a few gifs for background, and a couple of embedded fonts. These put together with my scripts come to about 20Kb. Not bad I think. But put in a combobox, two groups of 4 radios and one group of 4 beckboxes and now i'm looking at 50 Kb. And thats compressed!!
Is anyone aware of more liteweight UI components out there? Or maybe some optimization techniques for script intensive projects?

Optimized Movie?
I'm curious, if i remove any unecessary images from my flash library, will that make the exported flash movie run any more faster? I am also wondering if my movie will stream playing immediately, or will it wait until all the frame have been loaded? Its running at about 4 megs right now. Is that a good rate for something with audio? My dilema is that its my logo, and I don't want people waiting to see it.
please let me know thanks,

menu_mc.dynamicMenu_mc.bt16_mc.text16.text = menuTitles[15];
//
} else {
trace("XML Load Failed");
}
}
xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = loadMenu;
xml.load("menu.xml");
as you can see each one load a different text in each dynamic field.
Im sure there is something in front of my face but I just cant see it right now.

800x600 AND 1024x768 ?
Hi,
Everytime I create a Flash site, I have the concerning to make it to fit in 800x600 with no scrollbars. Recently, though, I stayed on a website that does something amazing: it works either on 800x600 as well 1024x768, with the difference that when in 800x600 it simply "crops" (at right and at bottom) what doesnt fits in the browser, but when in 1024x768 it shows the whole thing.
I stayed looking around and couldnt get the trick that the webdesigner used to do that. Anyone there know how to do that?
I mean, seems that the site is made for 1024x768, but when showed in 800x600 it is just cropped and NO SCROLLBARS !!!
The site I am referring is in http://www.cantao.com.br

Scaling Down For 800x600
Hello All,
I posed this question the other day, but stupidly stuck right in the middle of a critique thread so it didn't get answered.
It kind of relates to the brilliant thread on Full Screen Centred Flash which is going on at the moment.
I have done a site in which the main content MC is centred and repositions using a listener. I have sized it for a 1024x768 screen, but I've used screenResolutionX to detect and scale it down when the user is viewing at 800x600.
The trouble is, when scaled down it is all pixelated and nasty, as I would expect. HOWEVER! The other day I saw a thread on http://www.rembo.be/
This site scales up to fit full screen on any resolution, yet the images are still crisp and clear at all resolutions.
How the heck have they managed this? Surely if these images were traced the swf would be gigantic?
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers,
Robbie.

800x600 Vs 1024x768
Yeah, that's the question. My current site is at 800x600 but it's rather small when viewed from my desktops 1280x1024. Of course, I know it will look small that way but what is the standard? If my site is flash in 1024x768, and someone views it at a lower res, will all of it be visible or will the page be cut off?

#p & #b Of Printing A 800x600 In 8.5x11
I have a complicated single frame movie (all motion actionscripted) that I need to print from a web page. The movie has nothing outside the stage and is 800 x 600. I have tried all the tutorials and #p printable frames and #b for the bounding boxes as well as the online help in FLASH. It still crops my image on the left side when printed from my print button (printasbitmap) that is in the .swf. HELP i have been sitting infront of this problem now for about 7 hours and no luck. How do you guys print movies with bitmaps in them and get them to size right on a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and not print it in landscape mode.

800x600 ... A Style Question?
Hi... I was wondering if most of you tailor your sites to fit neatly (no scrolls) into an 800x600 res screen or if you just try to fit for a 1024x768res or other? im making my site and I want it to look good on all browsers but really dont like the way it looks on a 800x600 screen.
Is there anyway for html/javascript/flash to detect the resolution of the user's screen and then size the movie as a percentage of the screen? this would solve my problem as I could make it fit nice (no scrolling)on a screen with any res. is there anything else that accomplishes the same/similar goal? thanks.

800x600 Users Problem
Hi,
This is my problem. I just finished a site for a client made with 1024x768 users in mind. But now they want to make it smaller for 800x600 users. I don´t want to add the option at the beginning to choose your resolution. Instead I want to see if it is possible to add some code to the HTML, to detect the user resolution and based on that load the specific SWF for that resolution. I`m going to create 2 different main SWF´s, one for 800x600 users and other for 1024 or more...
How can I do it? Any idea? Thanks a lot.

You might be able to help me. Before you view a site in Flash Kit you get a choice of which size you'd like to view it at (640x480, 800x600...)
I am trying to find out how to change the size of a whole flash movie so that I can give my user controll of which size they want to see.
Is there some script which allows you to do this?
I'm not sure what words to search for to find out.

Movie Size : 800x600, 1024x768 Or Is It?
Hello,
I was wondering if I have to consider the scroll bars when setting up the size of my movie.
Do I have to reduce it? Considering that there is maybe a 20 pixels or so that is used for scroll bars. So when creating my movie, I'd make it 780x580 or something...
If yes, do any of you know the exact dimensions (if there is a standard...)

Size Of Swf Movie In HTML Page For 800x600
Hi there
what is the size resolution playing it safe for a swf movie within a HTML page, so that the viewer can see all of it without scrolling up and down.
I know its dependent on the users preference with
their toolbar
+ address bar + links + status
Does anyone know of a page that gives u all the variables dealing with web broswers and sizes..
anyone's preference.
Im pretty sure were building for a 800 x 600 broswer.
and just dont want the user to scroll down and up the page to get to their information. I wont be wasting any space at the top of the page either with needless branding etc etc. so from the top of the page to the bottom..all should be seen.
Thanks for your time and mental energy

Pop Up True Window Size ? 800x600 + 1024x768
Hi I have a flash app
that i want to open up for a
800 x 600 screen.
I've been told to make the flash .swf 788 x 570
to allow for the browser pop up graphics in the web browser UI.
Is this correct.
I'm creating another one which needs more screen real estate, so I want it to populate the next step up 1024 x 768, what am I facing with this one.
This page
http://www.anybrowser.com/ScreenSizeTest.html
1007 x 566 to 1019 x 668
and yet they say if used on a mac (which the flash app will)
it will need to fit 996 x 603
I do know that you can have the .swf scale up, but for the larger app I will need that real estate to show alot of info.
Much thanks.
If anyone knows of any web pages that help deal with these issues..I'd appreciate them.

Can My 1024x768 Designed Site Still Be Viewable For 800x600 Screens?
Hi,
I've just spent the last 3 weeks designing my site in Flash (the swf is 955x600 which is best for 1024x768 screen resolution). Now, I have placed those swf files at the top and centre of the html pages in Dreamweaver (so when it's opened in Internet Explorer, it fits just nicely on a 17" 1024x768 monitor). I've just realised after using other peoples computers with 800x600 screen resolutions, that the swf file is way big out of proportion. Now what I would like to know is, is it possible in Flash that there is some way that the swf file can shrink to fit 800x600 screens? I just don't want to have to worry about my website overlapping on all the people who check out my site with 800x600 screens.
I'm thinking of just redesigning the whole website so it is 800x600 compatible. But that's gonna take ages.
Check out www.ds-d.com to see what I mean.
Thanks for listening.

Dynamic Background (Center On 800x600 Or Strech If Bigger)
Greetings,
I´m trying to create a Dynamic Background that "Fit" on the screen resolution doing the follow.:
If the resolution is smaller than 800x600, the background image will be centered on the screen, and if the resolution is bigger than 800x600 the background image will "strech" to fit the resolution (without deform the background image).
The Script Works Ok but sometimes a White (Background FLA color) Area appears, this means that the Script have some error or are not well finished...
Can anyone give me a hand to fix this ? and make the background always fit on the screen, without that little bug. ?
Code:
Stage.showMenu = false;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "LT";
background.onResize = function() {
if (Stage.width > 800 || Stage.height > 600){
var _l2 = this._width/this._height;
var _l3 = Stage.width/Stage.height;
if (_l3>=_l2) {
this._width = Stage.width;
this._height = Stage.width/_l2;
background._x = Stage.width / 2;
background._y = Stage.height / 2;
}else{
if (_13<_12){
this._height = Stage.height;
this._width = Stage.height*_l2;
background._x = Stage.width / 2;
background._y = Stage.height / 2;
}};
}else{
background._x = Stage.width / 2;
background._y = Stage.height / 2;
}};
Stage.addListener(background);
Ps.: To test the code just paste the Action on the first frame and then create a movie clip with a 800x600 image and name the instance as "background".

Making A Flash Website (flash In A Flash In A Flash Etc...)
I am working on a flash "database" as it's called and to make this possible I will need to have multiple flash documents that load within a flash to keep the loading time down, otherwise the filesize would be astronomical!
To see what I am working on go to http://www.axeldesigns.com/h2/helpdatabase then click "menu button" to open the project. Hopefully then you can get a good sense of what I am trying to accomplish...So when you click on the individual links, I want a flash within the main flash to load completely on top with it's own load bar and everything.
I'm not very experienced with action scripting, but I am quite experienced with the animation side of flash and drawing tools etc...
So, if anyone knows of any tutorials or examples that I could work off of, please help me out.
