Size of a Flash File

[Egg Bramhill]

Colin,

I must admit to getting somewhat confused about how you want to view the swf now. I think you want to attach the swf file to an email and have the recipient right click & select "Open with" whatever browser they use. Is this correct?

If you try this you say that the swf goes to Full Screen. Can't you right click over the swf and choose "view at 100%"?

Hi Egg,

Yes, that's exactly right.

Attach *.SWF file to E-Mail. Receiver opens *.SWF with Browser. Browser displays Flash animation at size that it was created.... is what I'm after.

What happens is that the browser will always open the *.SWF file to fill the space available for it. The browser doesn't go to "full screen" mode (F11), just that it scales it up to fill the viewing space.

Obviously, if the browser displays the same *.SWF file that has been embedded in a web site, then the HTML code that defines the placement tells the browser what size rectangle (pixels) the animation should run in and it's perfect.

It seems that the browser has to be told by the HTML code the actual pixel rectangle size, even though the *.SWF file contains the information within itself.

Great,

But do you get the view at 100% option if you rightClick?

[Colin Carpenter]

No, not on my system.

If I right click on the SWF file, I get the various options such as OPEN, SEND, COPY etc., but there's no option to view at a certain %.

You might see that because you have some other Flash type software installed?

I'm not sure if something like this works.
But how about adding the code like we do to attach swf files
to our messages in the forum.

Add [ in front and ] in back

Have you tried it in FireFox. That seems to have a 100% option (but IE dosen't)
