Re: FLASH: How can you resize a fla all at once

[Cheri Harder]

Hi, Brian.


Yes you can do that.  I think this person's problem with that is she wants

the internal elements of the .fla to be smaller, not just the resultant

movie, so that she can use them inside another movie.  I remember a mention

of trying to use it as a load movie into a movie-clip so that she could

re-size it that way inside the other movie, but that that solution would

require the re-write of 100's of tell-targets within the movie.


In this situation, then, I think the only solution will be to try the "edit

multiple frames" and even then, shrinking things after-the-fact can be a

mess.  The font sizes are no longer what they say they are, any

actionscripting involving scale will be off, and any further size adjustment

will be difficult, because straight-graphics use the new scale as 100%, but

symbols retain their original scale (that is, when you inspect them after

scaling them this way, they will show 75% or whatever) unless you go in to

each and every one in edit mode and scale within there.


HTH!
