Browser display overflow
|

| I have made an all Flash portfolio website with multiple swf's loading into it.
I sized it all at 800 x 600. I tested it online in different browsers and have
two recurring problems.
1. It overflows the screen by about 20% even when my PC's display settings are
800 x 600.
2. When you go to click on a button 1st time it tells me I need to click to
activate this control. I do and the page jumps and then I need to click it a
2nd time to navigate to a child swf.
Common problems I'm sure. I'd appreciate any help

| 1. You must take into account the parts of the browser window ... so the
about 10 pixels for the scroll bar and about 5 pixels for the other
side.. usually if I am targeting 800x600 I create my movies 780x580 but
the vertical scroll you don't have much control because people have
different settings for their browser header. If you want absolute no
scroll and be super safe you must go 780x450... or something like that
2. If you are using IE and this, maybe this is what you are encountering:

| Moca,
you're a star. I never would ave figued out that IE problem you were aware of.
You've saved me a lot of stress, thank you.
Could I just ask you do I need to resize all my child swf's or just the ,main
parent one?
And you mentioned the display size I am targetting. Well I just wanted it to
play in the users browser at 100% no matter what their display settings are set
to, 800 X 600 or whatever
cheers

| Hi Dublin,
You can change the publish settings dimensions to 100%... This way your
movie will scale with the browser window. You need to watch what sort of
content you have...jpg images tend to pixelate and sometimes text become
unreadable.
As far as resizing, I am assuming you should have to. I need to try to
see what would be the actual behavior but just try to load one to see
what happens
good luck
