Flash :: Publish Size

Publish Size - Please Help
i have built a site in flash. it's quite a large fla file, (1.2mb). i published it with the html quality set to high, and the html file size was about 100k. then i published it with html quality set to best, and it was about 1000k. this when combined with an swf file size of 1mb is too large. so i tried to publish it again with the html quality set to high, but the html file size didn't go back to 100k. the quality of the html has reduced but not the file size!!! what can i do?

CS3 Publish Size
I have purchased CS3 and registered the product.
My EXE file use to be 4.44 mb but when I publish on the computer that the product is registered to the EXE is 12mb.
I have a laptop that I have installed the same CS3 on (but not registered), if I publish on it the File size is 4.44mb.
Can anybody identify the problem as I wish to keep the EXE to < 5mb.
Is the size increase prehaps because of attached code?

Can You Publish A Different Size Than Your Project?
I have some animations (version CS3 using AS3) that need to be resized. Rather than resizing the animations in the Flash file, is there a way to publish them with smaller dimensions? Or another suggestion on how to resize it without having to edit the animation itself?

Thank you!

Window Size Changes On Publish
Yeah, the whole question is pretty much above. I'm using a vCam and whenever I use the .swf in the folder the .fla's in, the window somehow resizes. However, when I use "test movie" from control, it seems to work fine. Anyone can help? I can post whatever info you need.

Flash Publish Size
Hey guys and gals,

Im not sure Im posting this in the right forum, but it feels like a random question..And I am a bit of a random sort of person...
Anywho Im one of those 1 in a million people who use a screen resolution of 1680 x 1050, I just love the pixelation of everyones site.. kind of entrancing hehe.. I go a bit crazed though when I visit those flash sites which are about the size of a javascript alert box for me and im looking for the OK and then I realise its someones flash site... and I know you're probably thinking "change your screen res fool". I say 'no' because my comp complains that its not default res..

Oh yeah thats right, my question:

Q. "what is a good size to publish a website?"

nb:for heavens sake, if someones going to abuse me and say "wrong forum" be nice about it please

Change Res/Size When Publish
Hey all,

I am new to web design and flash, and I have just created my new company logo and made a little flash movie. My problem is that I have my laptop screen resolution at 1920 x 1200 so when I look at the logo from a different computer with screen res of 800x600 or 1024x768 it is far too big.

I can fix the images to be the right res, but how do I change my swf file to publish at a smaller res?

Thanks in advance

Publish Scale To Fit But Limit Max Size
I hate scroll bars and I love 'scale to fit' but don't want to have to provide high res images for people with 21" monitors. Is there a way to publish my page so that it scales to fit but at some point it doesn't scale up anymore. This way my images never get pixelated and I don't have to have a higher res images than what I think is necessary.

Any suggestions.

Thanks

Document Size/publish Settings
Hi everybody,

Because I didn't mind the stage size when I created a new file, now that I've got my work done ( a small banner ) I am stuck with a lot of white background around the actual content, and when I try to change the size in the settings the banner gets even more off centered...Isn't there any way to simply crop the area in excess? I'm sorry friends if this is a very dumb question but I've tried the manuals and couldn't find the answer.

Thank you

Stage Size + Publish Settings
Hi everyone,

I need to create a presentation in flash, ie. similar to a powerpoint slide type project. The problem is that I'm not sure what size to make the stage. Do I need to make it the same as the resolution of the computer it will be played from, ie. 640 x 480, 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768? Or do I need to know the size of the screen the movie will be projected onto?

Also, I'll be creating the presentation in flash on my mac computer but it will be displayed on a PC - do I need to publish the movie as a Windows Projector (.exe) file or is the flash player installed already on all PCs?

Would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Hello!

I haven't used flash for a while and have a jpeg sequence that is pretty heavy. When published the file size is around 2MB, messing with jpeg compression in the publish settings doesnt seem to reduce file size or affect jpeg quality.

I am sure there is a setting I am missing, all info most welcome, thanx in advance,

100% Show All Publish But Keep Part Of Swf A Fixed Size
Hi,
Is it possible to have the movie HTML publish settings as 100%x100%, "show all" so that the movie fills the browser window BUT keep a movie clip inside the movie at a fixed size?
I assume you need to scale that movie in relation to the users resolution?
How can you do that?

In case I am thinking all wrong, here is what I want to achieve.
background image movie clip in my movie fills the browser window completely.
main content movie clip stays a fixed pixel size in the center of the window.

Publish/Preview: Full Size Window VS Just Stage? Help..
When I publish or preview (control+enter, or apple key+enter respectively) my website, it displays the entire window.

When I publish or preview one of the samples done by Macromedia in the Flash folder, it shows only the stage.

I have to resize the window in the Macromedia sample to see outside the stage. With mine, I need to resize the window so only the stage is visible.

How do I script, or tell flash to only display what is on the stage?

Publish Settings And Quality Changes Don't Make File Size Smaller
My swf file is rather large, so I tried changing the quality settings and the publish settings, but nothing I do seems to change the size of the final swf.

Publish Preview..it Works. Publish, It Doesn't
The functionality of my movie works fine in "Test Movie" and all "Publish Preview" modes, yet when I publish the movie and load it to my server, it doesn't.

Here's whats going on, I've got three buttons, each with very similar code.

Button one code -
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("Disturbed.swf");
}

Button two code -
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("FilterResize.swf");
}

Button three code -
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("HnOResize.swf");
}

I've got empty MC's on the stage for each corresponding SWF. All three buttons work as desired in the test movie and all publish preview modes, however, when I publish the movie and load it to my server, button three does not work. I've tried it with the empty MC's sitting on their own layer, or all on the same layer I've also tried it with the buttons on the same layer, or on their own layer.

Why would it work fine in the publish preview modes, but not when actually loaded to the server?

More important, how do I fix this?

Thanks

Can't Do Publish/Publish Setting A Movie In Flash CS3
I installed Flash CS3 while still keeping Flash 8. When I try to publish/publish setting a movie, an alert pops up saying 'No valid HTML Templates are available to complete this operation'.

Probably there was a conflict so I uninstalled both Flash CS3, Flash 8 then installed Flash CS3 but the problem still comes up. What is that?

Thanks in advance.

Publish Preview, Publish Settings...
Greetings.
I have a bar that runs the top of my movie. I noticed that in publish preview the bar is cut in half from the top whilst in test movie I have the whole bar. Is there a way to better match up my movie between the two. In Dreamweaver I can set all boarders to 0 but I would like an accurate view of my movie in Flash publish preview.
All in all I want my Flash document to fit inside a standard browser.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Publish Many Files With One Publish Profile
Hi all,

I'm using Flash MX 2004 and have a bunch of files to re publish with new publish settings. I created a publish profile and I'm trying to figure out if there is any easy way to have all my files use that profile without going into each one of them and specifying it on their pusblish settings. I try creating a project but I don't think this works for what I want to do. Any ideas?

To Publish Or Not To Publish In Flashplayer 7
Hi,
up til now I have published my sites in Flash player 6. Why not in 7? Because I didn't need it and thought that there may be a lot of people who didn't install 7 yet.

Now I am building a site in which I like to use a feature only available for Flash Player 7 (MovieClipLoader.onLoadError). I could to without that feature but it would give me a problem to work without it that I can't seem to solve.

So now I have strong doubts:
publish in 6 with more accessiblity, less flash detection screens, less attractive/functional site
publish in 7 with less accessibility, more visitors confrontated with flash detection screens , and a better going site.

I know I must make this decision myself, but I just wondered how you feel about this, and if you think my doubts are legitimate.

By the way, are ther any stats on which player people have installed?

Thanks,

jerryj.

Publish Preview As Flash VS Publish Preview As Html
Ive made a movie that add strings from several input text fields to an array. This array is sent from the flash video to php.
This is working fine when I preview the movie as Flash. The php script prints the variables as intended.

But when I preview it as html the arrays are all empty...
Can anyone tell me why?

ActionScript Code:
on (release) { number_of_attr1 = main._currentframe + 1; suggestions1 = new Array(); if(main.attr1.text.isEmpty()) { gotoAndStop(8); } else { for(i=1; i<=number_of_attr1; i++) { attr = main["attr"+i] suggestion = attr.text; if(!suggestion.isEmpty()) { suggestions1.push(suggestion); } } var submit1 = new LoadVars(); submit1.sugg1 = suggestions1; submit1.send("<a href="http://mylink.php" target="_blank">http://mylink.php","_self","POST</a>"); }//end else}

Match The Size Of A Dynamic Movie To The Size Of Its Parent Container Using ActScrpt?
I have a program that is dynamically loading images into a nested movie clip. The Parent movie contains the two separate movies within it and images are to switch back and forth in them. I need to know how I can use action script to load these nested movies to the exact dimension of the parent movieclip.

Here is my code:

onClipEvent (load) {
StagePictures._lockroot = true;

e_mc.loadMovie(_root.PathText+_root.imageClips[0]);

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(a number)) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.something)) {
if (Key.isDown(a number)) {
_root.StagePictures.e_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("SecondClip" , 3);
_root.StagePictures.e_mc.SecondClip.loadMovie(_root.PathText+_root.imageClips[1]);
_root.ScoreBox.text = scvar+1;
_root.Command.text = _root.imageCommand[1];
_root.Response.text = "Correct!";
}
}
}
}

StagePictures is the parent clip, e_mc is a child, and SecondClip is a child within e_mc.

Both e_mc, and SecondClip are loading the dynamic images which are the paths labeled _root.PathText+_root.imageClips[0, and 1];

The size of the images need to be contained within the size of the parent clip of both called StagePictures.

How can I set the size of the two nested clips to match the parent?

Thanks,
sam

Why Use Flash Video When It Bumps The File Size To Outrageous Size?
I have imported a flash video into my flash movie. I have run the .mov in sorenson squeeze and have it nice and small. As soon as I import it into flash (because this is the only way I know to do it in order to run a video in flash) now I have 1024 frames and a HUGE .swf file.

So what is the point to using flash at all...or am I doing something wrong. Is there a better way to handle video within flash??

Thanks

Browser Size Doesn't Match Flash Movie Size
Can anyone help me figure out how to make the Browser or Window that launches my .swf file fit exactly the size of the Flash Movie's dimensions?

My movie is 800x550 yet when launched it in a browser there is extra space around it which shows the elements that are outside the border of the movie which I later tween onto the stage.

In short, how do I constrain the Browser Window to fit the dimension of the Flash movie?

Thanks,

Change Stage Size (not Scale) Based On Browser Size?
Not sure this can be done. I've looked through LOTS of resizing tutorials, but they don't do exactly what I want, and I'm not sure it's possible.

Basically, I have a slideshow that loads from xml and fades in a variety of sizes of images in random positions. I'm trying to set it up so that the swf (which is in a div tag in an interface) will resize depending on the browser size and will use the NEW stage size to determine the x/y position of the images (without resizing them) and will skip any images that are too big for the stage size...

Any ideas if this is possible? Dynamically sizing and determining the "working area" of a swf based on the browser/div size?? Any tutorials out there?? I can figure out the code, I just need to know where to start...

THANKS!!!!

Preloader Size Doesn't Match File Size.....
Alrighty, my preloader says that my filesize is 242kb. MY ACTUAL filesize is 179kb, according to flash and windows. Is there something I am missing here?
Why is my preloader giving me garbage?

www.paulhanak.com is the site.

Here is the code:

Code:
totalBytes = Math.round(getBytesTotal() / 1024);
loadedBytes = Math.round(getBytesLoaded() / 1024);
percentDone = Math.round((loadedBytes / totalBytes) * 100);
if (_root._framesloaded >= _root._totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}
Thanks for any help! This is mind boggling.....

Top Banner Full Size Drop Down To Smaller Size?
This is kind of a 2 part question, don't know if this should be in the Flash forum or server-side/client-side.

First Question: I need to make a top banner for a new site, which has 4 pictures in it which will all be animated, the trick with this is I need to have it be 800x115 to show the full animation then when the pictures all move up their will be 8 or so buttons underneath the banner. Question is can I get this animation to be throughout the entire site without ever replaying that animation, without using frames? I am using php includes changing the ?id.

Second Question: If the first one doesn't work, I need to set it up using two different tables having the top banner in one and the buttons in the other. Here's the question, how can I do that animation from the first question with just javascripting, so the animation will not play again?

Reiterate: 1 Animation, a top banner which will be a box with 4 pictures in it will start out at full size (800x115) then the 4 pics will move up so that they will now be (800x85) and then buttons will be in the (800x30) spot.

I have seen some codes that look like they would work using cookies but I will need an explanation as to how it works if you can help me. I might have another animation in the site so I will need to make sure that some animations can play over again.

Stage Size Vs Published Size Question
Ok here is the dilema...

I have a 500w x 350h stage. For testing I have imported a picture the same size as the stage and placed a 1 pixel border around it.

When I preview the movie, the border shows up fine all around the imported picture but when I publish it to the web, I only see a border on the left and top edge. The right side and bottom are missing.

Here is the web version: Test Site

Screen Size And Flash Movie Size
Can you create a swf larger than the resolution of the users screen and then just center it on the screen, or if not, is there a way around this. I want to have popup windows that can be moved around within the flash file, but I need the flash file to be at least as big as the users screen so that they don't just disappear. Is this possible??

Auto-size Vs. Fixed Movie Size
I wasn't sure where to put this post. I hope this is the right place.

This is what I want to do:

On screen resolutions up to 800x600, I want my Flash movie to resize to 100% width and height of the browser window (since that's usually something like 635x450 on 640x480 and 755x550 on 800x600). On screen resolutions higher than 800x600, I want the Flash movie to be a fixed size (say 800px x 600px exactly).

Is this possible, and if so, how? Or is it something more to do with javascript after the final movie has been created?
