Recommended Size For .SWF On Website?
Jul 21, 2009
I'm producing an interactive video piece for my New Media masters project. I've put it up on my website, and was wondering out of curiousity, whats the recommended upper limit for the size of a .SWF file on the internet to run smoothly? I realise CPU and internet speeds vary greatly from machine to machine along with RAM, but is there a general upper limit which shouldn't be exceeded for .SWFs?
My project's .SWF is currently at 260kb. It also pulls in .FLVs that are between 800kb - 1.5mb and .mp3s between 1.5mb - 2mb via XML.

So, after just being dumped on from a great height by our development company I need to create an entire site in flash with login and dynamic addition of content etc etc.. What would be the recommended maximum size (pixel wise) for a flash site... what I have here is 1600px sq? It's mostly database driven so shouldn't lag too much from a point of view of file size, I'm just concerned because of the short deadline and I find this kind of large size wise to do 100% in flash..

I am taking a beginners Flash course and our final project is to create a movie/website in Flash. 100% Flash based. In a previous course, I made an HTML site. For this project, I am recreating that website in Flash. But what should the stage size be? That is where I am stuck. I don't know what a normal Flash site size should be to fit the screen like a normal HTML site.I already know to havethe dimentions set to 100% and 100%. But for some reason, when I use Control > Test movie, it never seems to fit right. It's either crunched together to much or spread out to far to where the header and footer are partially off the screen. I've seen posts on the web from years ago that said 950x550 is the size needed. Is that still the case? Because it just doesn't look right. With HTML the page height would adjust to the content and it would automatically scroll if needed. But Flash doesn't seem to do that. It seems that you are stuck with 1 size and you have to work around it.

The site is created and I tested it on all resolutions but some are complaining some text is too small to read easily. Is there a way to change the size of the entire flash website without having to go in and change individual font sizes and resizing all the graphics?

I'm currently making a website that i would like to be full size, whatever the resolution/window size is. Whenever i search for help i just get tutorials for fullscreen mode which is not what im looking for.
an example of what i'd like is this: [URL]
Whatever size you make the window - the flash file is stretched to fit.

I'm using a typical full size website that proportionally scales on browser resize.
I would like to set a minimum dimensions so the user cannot squeeze the website more than 600x420 for example. The page will then start to crop if you go beyond these dimensions.

Assume you have a variety of number or int based variables that you want to be initialized to some default value. But using 0 could be problematic because 0 is meaningful and could have side affects. I have been working in Actionscript lately and have a variety of value objects with optional parameters so for most variables I set null but for numbers or ints I can't use null. An example:
package com.website.app.model.vo {
public class MyValueObject {
public function MyValueObject (
_id:String=null,
_amount:Number=0,
[Code] .....
The difficulty is that using 0 in the above code might be problematic if the value is not ever changed from its initial value. It is easy to detect if a variable has a null value. But detecting 0 may not be so easy because 0 might be a legitimate value. I want to set a default value to make the parameter optional but I also want to later detect in my code if the value was changed from its default without hard to debug side affects. I suppose I could use something like -1 for a value. I suppose it depends on the nature of the variable and the data.

Currently I have a flash based application (game) which I need to put on facebook, the users could save their scores and resume their game. For the task I was wondering which scripting language would be appropriate. And are there any API's available which could in the process. Or does one has to make all of it from scratch.

A client needs a standard consumer color printer for printing name badges from my flash app. Last time we used the app, I couldn't do any pre-testing of their computer and printer beforehand. So, of course, the margins were completely wrong when the time came to print. Ideally, I'll have the flash app's bugs worked out for the next run, but for safety's sake does anyone know of a printer that has good controls for custom margins and offsets, in case some minor adjustments are needed?

I'm building a website in flash 8. I have significantly reduced the file size of my pictures for the website with Irvanfiew. (for instance a 75kb picture down to 24kb) the quality is good, but the shadow that Irfanview use is rubbish. If I import the picture AS IS without shadow and convert the picture into a movie and add a shadow, will that add a lot of kb's to my overall website?

There are a few things regarding best practices in ActionScript that I would like to know about:1. When a class uses other classes located in the same package, I know that it is not necessary to import them.But what is the best practice ? Should they be imported, just for the sake of clarity and order or is it recommended not to import them ?2. Is there a recommended order in which to arrange the imported classes ? I am just interested if there is a general idea regarding the order.Maybe display object classes before event classes, maybe event classes before component classes, and so on.3. Is there a recommended order in which to arrange the class properties and methods Regarding the properties, private, public, protected, constants. Regarding the methods, private, public, protected, getters, setters.Again, I am simply looking for best practices and recommended practices regarding these issues, I am aware that they are not essential to the code and that each person can choose to do different things.

So ive been asked to build a page for a real state company and the guy told me it should be similar to these [URL] Ive been trying a couple of weeks so far, but i dont seem to find a way to do somthing similar, i mean, i want to have the welcome screen as those two:
- the gradient background
- flash occupies whole screen no matter what size it is
- gradient expands sideways infinately
- no matter what height my explorer window is, gradient is always in the same position relative to top, and if i keep expanding downwards the background keeps last colour of the gradient.
- the brand logo looks as if it had top, left and right anchors, and it also limitates the minimum width of the explorer window
i though of addind a 3000 x 3000px square with the gradient and centering it, but i know there has to be a professional way of achieving that.

I am trying to build a flash that auto-adjust its size to the browser window size, while leaving the content of the flash itself top-centered in the screen.I have found this solution [URL].. on How to keep centered stuff in this exact case so i am pretty confident i will be able to adjust that script to do what i want.
Now my problem is that if i put my content inside the movie-clip (centerrectangle) with all the animation require, link and other stuff, the movieclip (center rectangle ) never have the exact same center, thus making the script go wild trying to always adjust the location to the variable size of the movie clip.

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.

I want to create a panel (or any other component) inside a component that has a 5 pixel border on all sides, but scales fully when the window is resized. I know I can set width to "100%" to make it resize, but that gives me no borders. If I put it to "95%",I have borders, but they scale annoyingly. Also, that only works for borders on the right or lower bounds, and not to the left or upper sides.Is there a convenient way to do this without having to write tons of resize-code (in which case I will not bother and just accept bad rescale behaviour, as it is for a private pet project).
EDIT: I know that I can just overwrite the display handling and set the positions manually every frame. I wondered if there is a cheap way to do it in the mxml-structure, along these lines:
<mx:Panel>
width="100%" height="100%"
</mx:Panel>
Coming from C++ and Java, I am intrigued by the option of setting something to "95%" and let the library work out the details, instead of having to write many lines of code, just so my text-area always keeps a 5 pixel distance from the border, but scales with window width.If there is no easier way to do it than figuring out pixel sizes by hand and setting the coordinates.
