Scroll bar / size help please?

[KarenM]

Hey guys,
I am a bit new with Flash, and recently built my portfolio site at:

www.eshedesigns.com

I noticed that on some people's browsers, the site is "cut off" and wont show a scroll bar to see the content.

How do I make it that no matter who views the site, can have the browser window show it the way I intended? I noticed that some people that have their browsers "zoomed in" see al my work pixelated... Is there anything I can do to solve this?

Please help, Thank you so so much!!!

Karen

Why yes, there is. And I have recently been working with this kind of stuff. Give me a bit to find some files.

Very nice sites by the way. They all look really great.

Sorry about that. Some stuff came up.

Ok. Instead of me going into a bunch of stuff. Just open up a dreamweaver document, make a new html file, and have plop your swf file in. Dreamweaver will make a javascript script that will enable scrolling of your object if the window is too small.

If you don't have dreamweaver, let me know. Or if you already are using it... then let me know, and I'll just send you a copy of the script.

Thanks for the reply !

My entire site was built in Flash, in 1024X768 resolution, and I mostly want that everyone that opens my site, will see it "in proportion" regardless of the resolution they have on their browsers.
Does that make sense now? I prefer that OVER a scroll bar. I know there is a way to do it, because all websites have it, right?
If my browser now is "zoomed in" I can still see this site's images and content sharp, and in proportions, right? (does that make sense? Sorry, I am very new to this...)

Yes, that makes sense. No, not all websites have it, lol. People program it into their site. They plan for their site to be that way. It's not just a little implementation.
It's a lot easier in Html. In Flash, you have to program everything to shrink in or expand depending on how big the page is on whoevers computer.
There are many different ways to do it, but it you have to manually do it any way.

[KarenM]

I do not mind do it manually, would you mind telling me how? :)

[Vlykarye]

Well... It's not exactly a difficult concept, just a lot of work. Basically, you need to use ActionScript to place all of your content on the screen, whatever is on the left, code it to be placed on the left. Whatever is on the right, same thing. Stuff on the right should be aligned to the stage's maximum width minus however many x's. Then, whenever the stage is resized, your stuff will relocate itself. I can't really tell you how to do it right now, as it's a lot of steps for each individual object. But that is the main idea. I'm too busy right now to help much.

[KarenM]

Thanks, I will look into it... If you have time please try to help me? ....... or tell me whats the name of that code so I can look for it?
Thank you so much... Oh, I am so new at this :(

[Vlykarye]

Lol, the name? Sorry man, I program most of my code from scratch. I don't give my code names, lol.

Hello,

A bar that appears on the side or bottom of a window to control which part of a list or document is currently in the window 's frame. The scroll bar makes it easy to move to any part of a file.
