Flash :: Detecting Screen Resolution

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");
;
}

is this coding anywhere near correct ?

--> 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

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 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 + 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!

Detecting The Resolution Of The External Image
Is there any way to detect the resolution of the external jepg file?

I would like to develop a photo gallery, which can popup the larger image by clicking the thumbnails. The size of the popup window should suited with the size of the external jepg file.

I saw the effect from imageVue, and that's exactly what I want to do. But what I wonder is to figure out the way of detecting the resolution of the external image. I think that's enough...

So, any idea? Or there is some better idea to accomplish?

Thanks

Screen Resolution
I created an entire website using flash at 800 x 600. But when someone when a different monitor resolution goes to it..it doesn't fit. Without creating two sets of files, can I write in something that will make the swf files fill the screen appropriately, no matter what size screen they are using?

thanksfor you help!

Screen Resolution
Here is a question for general discussion and a question if anyone has a good solution.

When developing web sites what screen resolution do you all develope in. The reason I ask is cause while having a couple of friend do a quick site check for me, I got various replies some saying that it was way too big(the were using 800 x 600) and some thought it was a perfect size. How do you get your movies to appear "good" no matter what resolution they are viewing it with.

I hope I am making sense here. Thanks in advance for all the replies

Screen Resolution
This is an unrelated to flash question, but hopefully someone can help me... I was in the process of checking a web site I am creating in different screen resolutions to to make sure everything was cool with it, and brought it up to 1280 res, and when I brought it back down, I now have this "flickering" on my screen,.... and if you look at it long enough, it could prob cause a seizure,... anyway, I tried re-starting my computer, and that did not work.. any suggestions? Hopefully I didn't toast the video card.

Screen Resolution
Hey everyone. Im pretty new with Flash MX, and I was curious with actionscript. Are you capable of changing the screen resolution of the user? What all are you capable of doing with Flash MX regarding messing with the user's preferences, or can you at all? Im NOT going to use this to mess with anyone innocent, nor anyone guilty. I am just curious to see how good and powerful Actionscript is. If there is a way and you dont feel like you should post it up on these forums, then Email me @ NeeBeR_FeeVeR@yahoo.com or AIM IM me at eenomojjahshik.

Also, i would like to talk to programmers on advice and tips. I am somewhat new to XP...well Windows for that matter. I quit for about 3 years and came back. I have been a Linux user for a while, and I have lost some skill with Windows.

Thanks to ALL!

Screen Resolution Help
I have my screen width set to 1024*768...

The page I've just finished looks great at that resolution, but at 800*600 it looks a bit distorted, rather terrible actually.

All I'm using is text basically, hardly any graphics. I exported it at 90 for quality. Any help as to why it doesn't look so clear at that resolution?

Thanks for any help

I am building a web page using dreamweaver mx, flash mx, and fireworks mx. I want the web page to be a exact fit to whatever
screen resolution the surfer is using. Can anyone help the newbie out?

Screen Resolution MX
When i create sites in Flash, i put the swf in a cell in Dreamweaver MX. But as far as i can tell there is no way of making it resize to fit the screen when people use different screen resolutions, without using any Javascript or other code. When i try to put the swf as a page on it's own (so i can tell it to fit the screen 100x100 percent) the browser says 'downloading from site' before it loads up, which stops it being displayed until about 50% of the preloading is done.

Is there a way in Dreamweaver MX to make the layout cell containing the swf to resize to fit different screen sizes? Or is there another way?

What's the best way to have a swf on it's own as the main part of a website? (do you just point a link to the main swf?)

CSS And Screen Resolution
I did the mistake of designing a site in 1024x768. The flash movie is 650px bt 400px. Its centered in the HTML page. Now I've been reading a lot about CSS and Im not sure, but I do believe it can sort out my problem. I would like to resize it for 800x600 so it looks the same size. Im certainly not going to redesign the site cause its just a propsal at this point. Anyways, can anyone tell me or direct me to a tutorial on what I should do if I want to do this. Been a while since I've designed so im a wee bit behind on things!

Thanks a bunch!

[CS3] Screen Resolution
Step 1: In the first frame, flash checks for screen resolution. If it is not 1024x768, the flash will display a message saying "Please change your screen resolution to 1024x768 and then press OK".
I am using System.capabilities.screenResolutionX and System.capabilities.screenResolutionY to check for screen resolution.

Step 2: Now the user is supposed to change his screen resolution and then click on OK. Now it goes to next frame where again I use the same code to check for screen resolution.
The Problem is that: Even after the user has changed the screen resolution and pressed OK, flash again reads the same screen resolution that he had before. why does this happen????

Screen Resolution
Hi everyone,

I'm designing a website in Flash and i've encountered a problem with screen resolution that i know is familiar to people, but i can't seem to find a straight answer to.

I started designing the site with dimensions of 1024x768 (my screen resolution is 1152x864). all of the text (and graphics) are sized well and legible. Now when i change my screen res to 800x600 or 1024x768, the text becomes tiny and blurry! In the HTML script it have set to width and height at 100% so that the entire site will be visible regardless of screen size and res.

so what do i do to make the text readable regardless of screen res? i really would like to avoid creating two sites with different sizes and not using the 100% scaling option in the HTML.

any ideas or tips?

Thanks
