    Default Wich resolution to use? out of 11


    I'm building a site for a furniture design competition in Finland and I have make 2 movies for
    2 resolutions 800x600 and 1024x768.
    Now, there is 9 other resolutions available, for instance one of the clients is using 1200x1600
    so he gets a very small view of the flash.
    If I set the movie to fit the screen, the fonts looks TERRIBLE.

    there is a really simple way around this.
    but, before that, just one bit that i don't get...

    you're creating a site for a customer, yet have
    two movies of different proportions? why?

    anyway, in dw create a page and in that page
    create a table with 1 row and 1 coll. set the
    dimentions to 100% width & height and insert
    your movie(s) into the table.

    reselect the table and align the movie to middle
    and center.

    don't stretch the swf.

    Hi Wllm thanks for your reply,

    I understood the table trick which I know and have use for quite a while now, for example in [url]http://www.translationsteam.net[/url]. The problem with that trick is that it always leave a few pixels space on the top margin even if you set the document to "topmargin=0", never figured out why.

    Anyway my problem is not really there, I did the first movie for best view at 1024x768, then the client look at it in an small screen at 600x800 so obviously he had to scroll, so I made a second one quite fast for 600x800. The UI is all hard coded and the content loaded dinamicaly so it was not dificult at all.
    Now if someone view the biger version at a 1200x1600 it looks quite small and because the client would like to have a full screen pop-up window I don't know what to do.
    Here are the choises I thought of:
    1: Make 9 more movies for each resolution. (stupid solution, in my opinion and to much work).
    2: tell the client that 95% of viewers use 600x800 or 1024x728.
    3: make an extra version that will stretch the swf. ( Ugly like hell, specially for the pixel fonts)

    So does anyone out there with the profesional expertise have a better idea?

    Thanks a lot.
