Flash: Full Page Web Screen
Dear Friends Who Know Flash for Web Design –
I’m teaching myself Flash. If you take a look at our homepage you’ll see that our main image isn’t centered or full sized on the page:

Is there an easy way to adjust the image so it’s nice and large on the screen, like this: https://www.ipad.com/
Many many thanks!

hello…
well – you can adjust your params in your flash embed code in the html – currently they are:
‘width’, ‘1024’,
‘height’, ‘768’,however, you will have the bigger issue that not everybody runs their web browsers at that ratio (1:33 to 1)…so with that in mind, if you make your flash movie 100% wide, your content could end up overlapping the height available or not taking up the whole space…

hey sitruc…er, uh, curtis 🙂 —
many thanks for responding. yea, at first i tried that, setting to 100%, and it didn’t work well either.
how did this guy (https://www.ipad.com) get it right?
sorry if this is a silly newbie questions.

hello…
well – that’s not flash – it’s just a static image forced to those dimensions via css… 🙂
what you want to do is handled pretty nicely in this tutorial:
