Flash movie has changed size after importing in to website??

**The Nikster** · 27 March 2009, 08:11 PM

I have created a fairly small Flash movie using Web Designer, after exporting the animated file as a .swf it was inserted using the placeholder option.

just to clarify, i first drew the rectangle i wanted on my webpage, then copied and pasted it into a new animation, then created the movie as normal. So i have the rectangle and the movie at exactly the same size and according to all the forum info, i have inserted it correctly into the webpage.

So when i view the webpage, the Flash movie appears, only about a quarter of the size it should be????

any ideas please?

Many thanks

Welcome to TG Forums Nick,

I'd suggest you post your .web file for us to have a look at

Thanks for the prompt reply by the way.

Anyway i digress..

Kind regards

Your flash animation is actually 197.3 x 110.5
But your flash page animation size is 480 x 320
You need to start with a new animation page size of the same size your flash animation should be.

Ah yes......i knew that of course.....

I assumed that the rectangle was the movie outline!!!!!

Thank you very much, greatly appreciated..

No need for embarrassment Nick. Mistakes are a valuable learning experience

Hi Nickster. An alternative to changing the page size is under Options in the export animation screen, chose Drawing not Page.
