Flash at 800x600 or 1024x768? - Page 2

kraeftig · 02-08-2006, 11:59 AM

I have used code before to test the resolution of a screen in windows. This is a simple activex call in windows, but there are many complications when going to other systems. I recommend using % deliniated tables and using flash's built in justify capability.

Also, I believe there are some other plugins for flash that allow you test without using code, but again only in windows.

Does anyone know how to make the site scale itself without many complications? I am sure it's possible as I am asure many flash sites already do it.

who hosts you? I use moonfruit, its tottally flash, is yours the same?

Platypus · 02-13-2006, 02:50 PM

I use 1and1 hosting. I didn't use Flash itself to create the site, I used another program. Is there any way to add something to frontpage or dreamweaver to make the site scale itself, because that would probably be best.

You are using Frontpage...sorry, can't help - there's no hope for you.

Platypus · 02-13-2006, 04:16 PM

I said frontpage OR dreamweaver, or whatever floats your boat. I just need an auto-scaler, not all the money in the world. At worst, if I can't get one, I'll just have three options, small medium or large.

zima · 02-13-2006, 08:39 PM

Heh, Dreamweaver isn't that much better, only in the sense "probably best among the kind (but the kind itself is...)".

Perhaps notepad would sa stretch, but Bluefish, JEdit, Arachnophilia, Macromedia HomeSite or Quanta Plus definately not.
Overall. perhaps you would learn something instead of wanting to rely on do-all tools?

And use Google. Or start here: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/011/firstcss

I'm 14 and I don't have all the time in the world and I'm not Bill Gates or anything. I do want to learn new stuff, but not at the expense of 3 years of my life. Although I value your opinion, I simply request a tool for an auto scaler that I can use without much trouble. That's it. Is that really too much to ask? And, I have used Google search, but typing in any form of auto sclaer or something doesn't return much results of value to me.

So...when you'll understand that it's not a kind of work for automated tool...simply because it's somehow trivial once you know anything about HTML?

And people wonder why there are so many shitty looking pages on the web...

Platypus · 02-18-2006, 06:22 AM

I don't really care whether or not you think my flash page sucks (no offense, seriously) and I didn't ask for any opinions (once again, no offense), but I just wanted to auto scale since YOU, zima, suggsted it in one of your posts and I thought it was a great idea. What I will do, since I have no response on how to auto scale it, is just create three buttons, small medium and large, it's easy enough to do anyway.
