Scaling my movie down

[FearX]

Hello,

I have a client who is adamant that their site be larger than 800x600, so that
people on higher screen resolutions don't have a tiny little site to view. We
still want to allow users on 800x600 to view the site, but not have to scroll
or anything. Our solution was to develop at 1024 and then detect each user's
screen resolution, and if it was 800x600, we'd scale the movie down just for
those users. This doesn't seem to work exactly as I had figured. Text goes
funny, especially _sans, which is next to illegible. Using Arial is better
more legible, but I'd like to stick with _sans for anyone above 800x600. Is
there any way of achieving a solution that pleases everyone?

I would suggest using the Stage object and laying out the webiste differently
depending on stage size. That way you can avoid resizing text fields that have
non-embedded fonts in them. THose fonts will change their apparent font size
as it is scaled (as you've seen).

This is certainly more work for you, but it could be an option to avoid
scaling if you want it.

I had a problem related to resizing flash movie.
on a normal browser its ok but I used full screen option for it, & its
running slower on some PCs as there are some high quality effects used in
the movie
