Locking Window Size On .swf And .exe
I'm a super shiny newb at this so I apologize for the simple queston but I figure this is the place for it.

I am trying to lock the window size of a published .exe or .swf

I've looked up the question here and it seems locking with JavaScript is the answer if publishing for HTML but that is not my aim.

I need to be able to publish .exe for CDs or hand off a .swf for someone else to post and I need them to be as unalterable as possible.

I'm using MX 2004 if that makes a difference.

Thank you in advance. I've only been doing Flash for 2 weeks and I already like you people.

Locking Window Size....
Hello,

I'm still beavering away on my first flash site.
Very simple question(s). - How do I specify the size of window that my flash site appears in (in explorer) - and also - how do I stop people from resizing the window (most flash sites i've seen appear inside a window which cannot be enlarged)?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Locking Stage At Certain Size
Hello,

currently designing this site here:

http://www.theplayground.net.au/cc3

The trouble is that when you resize the window to 800 x 600 or smaller, the navagation runs over the logo (top left - christopherchris) and the contact details run over the centered images.

Im using this code to keep the background image to the size of the browser and to keep the logo and contact details anchored:

function initScale() {
screenInitWidth = 1200;
screenInitHeight = 800;
_root.screenInitWidth = 1200;
_root.screenInitHeight = 800;
bgImage_mc._x = screenInitWidth/2;
bgImage_mc._y = screenInitHeight/2;
bgImage_mc.initWidth = bgImage_mc._width;
bgImage_mc.ratio = bgImage_mc._height/bgImage_mc._width;
var stuff = new Object();
stuff.onResize = function() {
stretchIt();
};
function stretchIt() {
if (zoomedIn == false) {
//image
screenRatio = Stage.height/Stage.width;
if (bgImage_mc.ratio>screenRatio) {
bgImage_mc._width = Stage.width+1;
bgImage_mc._height = bgImage_mc._width*bgImage_mc.ratio+1;
} else {
bgImage_mc._height = Stage.height+1;
bgImage_mc._width = bgImage_mc._height/bgImage_mc.ratio+1;
}
}
//anchored elements
main._x = Math.round(0-((Stage.width-screenInitWidth)/2)+60);
main._y = Math.round(0-((Stage.height-screenInitHeight)/2)+30);
contact_mc._x = Math.round(0-((Stage.width-screenInitWidth)/2)+60);
contact_mc._y = Math.round(Stage.height-((Stage.height-screenInitHeight)/2)-115);

}
Stage.addListener(stuff);
stretchIt();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
}

Has anyone got an idea on how I can add a script to this code to prevent the stated problem from happening?

Any ideas really welcome!

If you need more info, let me know!

Thanks in advance

How Can I Get A Flash Screen Size Of Screen Width?
Hi all,

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??

Screen Size Changes -- Can't Get Full Screen
I loaded a swf file on my homepage. However, it appears small. But when another link -- within a standard HTML page -- is used to go back to the swf page it then appears the larger viewable size. If anyone has suggestions on how to make the entire site viewable larger -- I would sure appreicate it.

Thanks!

[F8] Screen Size / Stage Size
I saw something great awhile ago and I would like to recreate it but not got a scooby how to start

Not done any action scripting for a few years now so a little rusty but I am looking for a general push in the right direction to get me started and a bit of advice to see if my thoughts are going in the right direction.

A website I visited about a year ago had a flash background set into a DIV tag, the actual flash file was 4 randomized white clouds moving quite slowly on a pale blue background, the main website which was in a 800px sized DIV tag over the GB DIV was 800PX across and set to center.

At the time I thought this quite impressive and though flash must of improved vastly in its latest version and finally allowed screen detection sizes to be set to stage sizes but from what I have read apparently NOT lol

So how the hell did they do it? not surprisingly the website well the page was a sports section on the BBC's website not surprised they got it working with the cash they through at it

So got any ideas?

All I want to do is detect the screen size set the stage size to that then place 10x10 images (Random 30 files) with a 4PX border then every 25 seconds have the images randomize again and fade into the new images.

Sounds easy but apparently NOT.

Thanks in advance.

Screen Size Too Big?
I am looking to create a flash website with a setting of 760 x 550.

My screen size is 1024 x 768, so it looks perfect.

I heard most people are viewing at 800 x 600, should I consider to make it smaller?

What Is The Appropriate Screen Size To Use?
Since almost everyone has 17" screen nowadays. Should we be enlarging our flash pages?

I did a flash presentation using a window size of 800 x 600 pixels but when I opened it on my screen (an Apple flat screen 1280 x 1024 pixels) I lost quality in my pictures. Of course I asked that the presentation opens full screeen on any computer.

So what is the ideal size in pixels for the screens?
I know you have one for websites and another for presentations.

Screen Size Help
Ok... at the risk of sounding like a complete newbie... how the heck do I get the flash movie to totally fill the browser screen? I've done the fscommand but it still shrinks the dang thing and puts it up in the left hand corner of the browser. What the heck?!

I'm a little frustrated, and it's probably something really simple that I just can't find in the help index.

Thanks everybody.

Swf Screen Size
I have a few swf files (games) I dont have the source code for the html but I have got around that thanks to earlier responses.

But, as I didnt have the original source html code, I dont know the size of the movies 550x400, 500x500 e.t.c

So I am guessing the sizes in the code, it doesnt always come out right,

is there anyway to load the default movie size?

These are going on webpages you see...

Thanks

Screen Size Of Swf
hi, i have made my swf 800 x 600, but when i open the swf file, it doesn't load full screen. how can i make it so that when the swf is opened, it loads ful screen and there is no need for me to maximise it?

Screen Size
I have noticed now that a lot of websites are using 1024 x 768. Is this now becoming the norm more nowdays?

Is 800 x 600 on the outer?

Especially with the wide screen tv's ect?

Thanks

Screen Size?
I'm a newbie just learning and don't know what size to make the file to fill a standard browser. Default is 550x400. What should it be set at?

Screen Size
This may be a silly question, but its bother the heck out of me. What is the standard size for a page size? When I open up flash it auto does "779x766" or something like that. But when I put something I want as a background (ie pattern) there is still tons of space left when I look at it in explorer. Even when I make the background I make the same size as the background specs in flash.

Any clue? Thanks in advance

Screen Size
Hi again I've got www.michel-flash.com running but I don't get the same size on my PC and on my Mac. On the Mac the page comes up smaller than on the PC. How can I rectify this problem so that my website adapts to every screen size.
Thanks for your help.

Best Size For Screen
I am creating an animation of flowers. The flowers should start out of sight and slowly rise up the screen. I am not sure what size to make my interaction. When i test the movie my flowers begin on the screen already and rise to the middle. I was under the impression that anything out the frame would not be shown on-screen until it was dragged out of the grey area of my stage and into the white area.

Does that make sense.

Screen Size
How do i take of the borders that are put in my movie when i publish it?

When i publish my movie i want to have no borders around it and also to fill the browser window.

I am doing a site with a lot of images, i want to make it 1024 X 768 but am afraid it may all load too slow. At the same time I dont want to go too small and have the pixels fall apart if some one views it larger. Is there a rule of thumb on this?

Adopting Screen Size
Hey people,

Another one for you. In Flash 5, I'm trying to make the .swf file open in full screen when launched by itself. I'm getting really frustrated with this. It might not be on-line so don't worry about the browser window. Thanks!

Screen Size (Pixels)
Question:

I currently have my pixel size at 550x400, which is a small screen size when running my program. I'd actually like it to be full screen size, but am half way through my program. Do I need to resize all my symbols and text? Or can I just go into properties and simply change the size of my screen?

thx..tam.

Full Screen But Set Size?
Hi guys/gals.

I'd like to know if it's possible to make a movie fullscreen like Director does, but to keep an 800x600 section with the movie in the middle, so that my bitmaps don't pixelate?

Any ideas?
Thanx

How Can I Detect The Screen Size?
Can someome tell me how I can detect the screen size?
I've previously made a CD developed on my 15" TFT (1024 x 768).
My work looks brilliant on my monitor.
But take it to a PC that has 17" normal (non TFT) monitor and my work doesn't look as good!

How can I overcome this?

Thanks.

Reducing Screen Size
I have created a website in flash, however because i have 19" monitor it fits perfectly on this but when u play it on a computer of say 800x600 the bottom etc is cut off.

Is there a quick way to resolve this, instead of making the stage size smaller then re-adjusting everything in the movie?

Thanks
