Re: FLASH: Please help! Resize fla...

[ComposiMo]

(This is not an optimal solution, but only an idea)


Now, maybe someone has a better idea, but changing the object and embed tabs 

should work for inserting to HTML, but if this is for a standalone, and you 

absolutely need it done here and now.... couldnt you (someone correct me if i 

am wrong) simply create a separate fla, and size it to the size you need, 

then load your "main" movie into it.... basically, the new fla wont have 

anything in it except for the correct dimensions, and a single keyframe with 

a LoadMovie action in it. Since (again, i may be wrong here) it is my 

understanding that the whatever movie you have loaded into _Level0 (which 

would be the main timeline, right?) sets the frame rate, movie size, and 

background for everything loaded into it? Again, this (in my mind) is not an 

optimal solution, but it is an idea if it the type of thing you need done 

asap, and only if your client does not mind it being done this way. Anyone 

viewing it will most likely not know the difference anyway.   Just a 

thought.... as i am not sure if you are wanting to go this route, but it 

would surely be a hell of a lot easier to do than rebuilding the entire swf.

Disclaimer: please don't flame me for this solution, since it really isn't 

much of one, but i have had to do this in the past, and the only reason i did 

it is because the client did not mind. But, i have always reserved doing 

things like this for only extreme emergency's  (i.e.  big-time ceo changes 

his mind with only 1 day left to make the deadline.... hardy-har-har... )
