SWF dimension changes while importing

Hi

I am importing an SWF to FM11.

The dimension of the SWF at its 100%, as I have verified in source FLA file and after importing it to Captivate (just for testing purpose) is 700 x 450 px.

However, while importing the same file into FM11, the dimension at 100% is 873 x 566 px.

Any idea why this is happening? What is the solution?

    It all depends upon what size you want it to be in your document. The lower the dpi, the larger the image area will be. If it was created on a typical Windows system, try the 96dpi setting.

    When you import a SWF, FM should typically be asking you what dpi to use for the import. Which did you select? Any size selection, will show 100% in the object properties window. It's the dpi setting that controls the physical size.

    I was keeping it at 72 dpi. Should I keep it at 96 dpi as shown in your screenshot?
