scale a projector to a smaller size....

[bso_71 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Is there an xtra that can scale my projector size to the size of the users monitor? I normally use an xtra that can change the monitor size (dmchanger). But if my projector has 1024X768 and I want to see it in a monitor that only has a resolution of 800X600 how can I scale my projector. Is this posible??? Flash does have this, it scales the projecto to a full size screen depending on the size of the users screen.

Thanks a lot,

Brenda Sanchez.

Flash can scale on the fly due to it's vector graphic foundations,
Director being bitmap based can't cleanly scale content on the fly.

One usually creates in advance a seperate version of the director
project with art scaled down using authoring tools. Then have the
projector jump to the appropriate version depending on the screen sie
and cpu speed.

JB is 100% correct, but you might try the method mentioned in the
technotes. It /may/ be acceptable in your project depending on content
used.

Just search for scale a projector on the Director Support page.
