macromedia flash sitedesign: Is there some way to have the site I designed at higher res appear
properly on a PC at 800 x 600.

unfortunately not Tia .. when I make a fixed-size site I always use
733 - 550 .. so it displays right on a 800x600 screen, including the
borders of the browser.

take care

Yes,
The pics won't be perfect, but you'll be able to see everything if you
make a link to a page with a smaller sized file. Just leave it in the
hands of your users to figure out which page is for them and click the
correct link. Or, you can make it the right size in the first place.

You can also figure out the window size by using JavaScript.
Then, using JavaScript set the parameters for height and width of your
flash movie. This is risky both because the page may be opened in a
window smaller than the the screen size (so I guess you could go
fullscreen before running your function), and because the user might
not have Javascript. One idea might be to send the user to a smaller
page if the Javascript function is notified.


This is a function I got from
http://www.monroeccc.edu/ckelly/Courses/Cis179/Week7.htm
quick google search.

// Sets wwidth and wheight based upon the size of the current browser
window
function getWindowSize() {
if (is.NS) {
wwidth = window.innerWidth - 70;
wheight = window.innerHeight - 70;
} else {
wwidth = document.body.clientWidth - 70;
wheight = document.body.clientHeight - 70;
}
}
