Re: FLASH: Scaling my Actionscript

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Larry,

	This makes perfect sense. I frequently work at 1150 x 620 for just that

zoom/edit reason. I tend not to worry about the actual pixel dimensions

as the Flash movie is my content and does not share the page with any

other visuals. I just create at the size I like and set the parameter to

100% height and width and Scale at Show All. As long as the proportions

are correct the exact numbers don't really matter. 

	If, however, you need to accommodate other content on the page that

would be a bit different. You might have to play with the percent

setting and the Scale factor to get the results you want. I have not

done that myself so that part is more of a suggestion for an area to

test.
