Resize entire animation dimensions

[twocents]

Hey guys,

I am a newbie here and would love to draw on the experience you guys have.

I have made a website and it is nearly complete and I have just tested it at on another computer and shock-horror...the thing is too big for standard monitors. I have foolishly built it with a document size of 1024 x 768. That is fine on my 20" monitor....but as soon as I tested it on a 17" I saw that parts of it were cut off.

Is there a way to resize the whole thing and not lose quality? I have tried the Publish settings and I can make the html tell my browser to make the animation 800 x 600. But it becomes a little low quality. Some of the fonts are hard to read.

I hope that you can help me out. I really dont want to write this all again.

Here is the site (unfinished as yet) in the original size: http://users.tpg.com.au/twocents/Duncans/index.html

And here it is with the html commanding a resize to 800 x 600: http://users.tpg.com.au/twocents/Duncans/index2.html

Only thing i know it is to publish it. and then load it into a container_mc and resize that to whatever size you want
e.g. container_mc._xscale = container_mc._yscale = 75;

Thanks for the quick reply FG. Any chance of a link to a tutorial on how to do that? I am really just a newb ha ha

Also...anyone else got a suggestion?

Michael.

TwoCents - Did you ever get your question answered? I made the same mistake you did and I don't know how to fix it.

here's how you do what FlashGordon said but please note; when you go live the movie you're loading into container_mc must be 100% loaded before you can reset its size using _xscale / _yscale.

the sample works without a preloader because it's running locally
