Resizable Apps

[queeny]

Hello, quick question.

Up to now all the Flash based content I've been working on was for a fixed size, so I didn't have to worry about a lot of things, but now I'm having to produce content to fit four different screen resolutions, from 1024x768 up to 1920x1080, so a fair difference.

The problems I'm having a varied, so I'll just boil it down to one question, how do you all deal with multiple resolutions? Do you produce the content several times, do you load the SWF into Flex or something and scale it to fit the app, would you have the SWF doing just the animated graphics and Flex doing the UI etc?

Thanks, Q.

SWF is resized from html container, and there is a listener for stage resize event inside flash, that reposition all the components according to new size.

Google for "liquid flash layout".

Or you can just design your site to be around 800 by 600 in terms of resolution, and then just use scrollbars and stuff for navigation. That's what some Flash developers do.

Sweet, that Liquid Layout was exactly the thing I was looking for. Cheers for that :)
