I did post in an Adobe forum, but usually get more and better results here.
I want a table and an image to come into that cell of the table. This part is easy.
However, the image is approx 120x133 and when I import the flash movie into dreamweaver, the flash movie is 550x400. Way too big.
Is there a way to correct this or adjust the movie size without screwing up the image size?

Re: Flash problem
might help to explain how the image size and movie sizes are affecting each other... I mean what does 1 have to do wtih the other?
You want a 120x133 image in a cell. Ok. "When I put in the movie it's too big." Ba-huh?

Re: Flash problem
I thought it was quite self-explainatory.
The image size is 120x133 and the cell size is similar
The movie is 550x400.
Can't quite fit 550x400 into 120x133

Re: Flash problem
You're trying to put the image and movie into the same cell? Same row? Same column?
Is there some reason why you can't just make the cell with the movie as big as the movie?

Re: Flash problem
Because that would take up most of the page and the image is only 120x133.
I dont want to use up 75% of the page for a 120x133 image that will come into the page

Re: Flash problem
The table has 5 rows and 4 columns. Other content will be in the other cells so putting an object 550x400 into a 120x133 cell obviously distorts the table.
Can someone try to come up with a suggestion, please

Re: Flash problem
Against my better judgement, I'm gonna take one last crack at figuring out what you're saying
As I understand, you have a table. You have several "content" objects approximately 120x130, in various cells. You have one object that is 550x400, in its own cell.
Your question is, "How do I adjust the size of the movie?".
Is that right? If yes... this is an extremely obtuse way to get to the question, but whatever.

Re: Flash problem
After some reading... there doesn't appear to be any reason why you can't just set the size you want for the movie on the embed line in you page code.
Several sites also said that when you use "import" in dreamweaver, you get a sizable object... just drag a corner to size it.
Code: Select all
<embed src="xyz.swf" height=250 width=350></embed>Re: Flash problem

First off, it was stated pretty clear the first time. You either did not read it right or you don't understand.
Second, it is not as easy as your last post indicated. When you change the size within the embed tags, it also changes the size of the image in the movie....in this case decrease the image size.
Third, when you import into dreamweaver and adjust the size by dragging the sides, not the corners, it has the same effect as the above where it simply changes the size within the embed tags and thereby decrease the image size.
As for the actual post, Corpse, I don't know enough about Flash to help you, but I'm sure some people in here do and hopefully they will give you some useful answers.

Re: Flash problem
If it's a flash movie, it'll be just vectors anyway, so scaling shouldn't matter. If the flash movie has images/non-vector-stuff embedded in it, he'll probably have to re-author the movie to save some bandwidth.
Re: Flash problem
i dont quite see why you just cant export the movie in the corect size in flash. the html shouldnt have anything to do with it.
