Do you mean that, when you change the size of the browser window, all the gr
aphics on the site change size?

I don't know if you can do that.  Maybe some of the more advanced members ca
n help you out with this one.

800 pixesl across is 800 pixels across, regardless of my settings.  Are
talking about attempting to reset the users monitor settings?

no idont want to change there settings. what i want to do for example say my
friends monitor is 500 x 500 pixels and mine is 700 x 700 pixels and we set
flash for 500 x 500 pixels then it will fit my friends screen perfectly but 
it
will be smaller on mine. I want to make it fit the screen perfectly on both 
of
our monitors. like in html (hyper text markup language) you can ither set th
e
site to be so many pixels big or you can set it to fit 60% of the screen or
100% of the screen. I want to know how to make my flash fit to the screen 10
0%.

sorry i have a hard time explaining myself

Publish your movie, setting the HTML dimensions to 'percent', and then set i
t
to 100%x100%. Then use a CSS with: body {margin:0;} . Now you'll have a
 perfect
fit. Problem with this method is that bitmaps will be more or less distorted
 on
different resolutions, and designs tend to look too magnified on larger scre
ens.

When working on 100% flashsites, I always set the following in flash - in
addition to the above:

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "LT"; // if I want LeftTop alignment

This ensures you have a 100% page-fit, but without distorting the
flash-graphics, bitmaps and so on...
Beauty of this is that now you can control all the flash-re-sizing using the
read-only variables 'Stage.width' and 'Stage.height', like:

_root.imageMC._width = Stage.width/2; // sets the width of imageMC 50% of th
e
current screenresolution

Elements that needs to retain their original pixel-dimentions can then be
positioned using _x and _y.
Hope this helps!

Best,
?ystein

Well, that is what Sky1211 asked and you said no. But it was worded funny.

You should know - doing this will drive SOME people away from your site.  I
never stay long at sites like this.  It says a couple of things about the
designer -> Not a professional,  Can you give a single example of a
professional done site that uses this technique?  Also, this technique can
make your movies run slow and sluggish on some machines.  I have a pretty
good machine, but if the designer uses too many alphas, to many things
moving at the same time, it can slow down even the faster machines.  I run
1200x1600 and duel 19"ers..  Lots of people do nowdays.  And sites like that
tend to run slow and drag.  And the problem with raster images was already
addressed.

I wouldn't hang around a site like this for more than a few seconds,
experience has taught me that a site like that is never well done.  BUT ...
I am open minded!  If you know of a site or some site that go 100% monitor
res and are well done, by all means, post a link, I would like to see them!
:)

Most of all, have some fun and do it how you want.  I wasn't trying to be a
wet blanket, just offer a broader view of this subject!  Hope that is OK.
