Change browsers height x width on view of flash file, if it's not being inserted in to DW for e.g.?

Report · Mar 21, 2014

Hi All,

I am undertaking the build of a flash site for the last assignment in my 2 yr ICT foundation degree and we're not allowed to actually use the likes of DW, it's just purely a flash site in it's own right.

Now this is obviously going to cause certain issues, limitations etc and maybe why I'm suffering this viewing issue once published and the flash file / site opens in my nominated browser but doesn't show the whole site and doesn't include any scroll bars, so it's cutting off my "Skip Intro" button at the bottom, as I've included a splash page, plus on my other non splash pages it makes me lose my footer info.

Is it even possible without putting this flash file in to a html editor like dreamweaver, to actually include vertical scroll bars so when viewed in the browser via "publishing" in Flash, so a person would in effect be able to see the whole page?

Oh we have a stipulated resolution 1054 x 768 and we're stupidly not allowed to budge from that which doesn't really help but hey ho.

Any help or guidance in the above matter would be deeply appreciated indeed and I look forward to hopefully hearing from somebody soon.

Regards,

i, like most flash developers, have never used dreamweaver. so yes, it's doable.

just change the html code published by flash. ie, change:

html, body { height:100%; background-color: #ffffff;}

body { margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; }

#flashContent { width:100%; height:100%; }

</style>

to this

html, body { height:100%; background-color: #ffffff;}

body { margin:0; padding:0; }

#flashContent { width:100%; height:100%; }

</style>

Hi kglad,

Thank you for the reply, it's much appreciated.

However, apologies for my ignorance here but if I am not allowed under the rules of my assignment to publish this flash site within a html editor as such, how am I able to change the html published by flash?

I have had a look through Google and can't find anything specific for this, maybe I'm staring at the glaringly obvious but missing it.

Any advice of how to access the chance to change the html published in flash would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
