RE: FLASH: flash 5 scale question

[Sohrab Pirayesh]

Why dont you just set it up in tables, and make the bg color of the flash

movie the same as the html frame, then when people resize, the flash movie

stays center and the same size. Im not sure if this is what you are looking

for but if it is this is a nice workaround, which i have used.

I want a frameset-esque portfolio where the bottom frame would have a set

height and always be right at the bottom of the browser (a caption section

for text), while the top would have images that float in the center of the

remaining space.


This would be easy enough with html, however I want a hierarchy menu system

which would over lap the images in the upper frame if open. I can do all of

this in flash, but if I center it, on a large monitor it would look like a

little movie surrounded by empty space rather than dynamically resizing to

fill the space without resizing the elements (which are pixel-based images

and would look bad if scaled).


I hope that's clearer. Is this kind of set-up possible in Flash 4 as was

suggested with scripting or in Flash 5, or will I have to rethink the whole

thing?
