Hi Lisa,


Lately I've been using 755x415 or some multiple of that, to maintain aspect 

ratio while filling the browser window 100% (minus toolbars). There's no 

"right" answer unless you're displaying Flash as a fixed size in a window, 

in which case use whatever aspects look good to you. If you use bitmaps, 

plan to display them at their original pixel dimensions and build the Flash 

accordingly. If you don't use bitmaps, the ratio I suggested works well. 

multiplying it allows more levels of user zoom, if that's important to you. 

It also lets you zoom in closer on your work during creation of the Flash.
