This is the first time I'm attempting to do this. I want to make my movie work from a cd and have it launch automatically in a full screen once the disk is inserted. I managed to find some fscommand codes to make it appear in full screen, but my biggest problem is what to make the size of my graphic.

I cant seem to fit it to any size that works for the screen resolutions that I've tried, so some will look okay and some will look distorted or not how I want it to look.

I used fscommand("fullscreen","true");, and I was wondering if theres another code to make the graphic conform to any screen resolution? Or is this even possible?

Is there any other ways that I can go about doing this project that may be better?

As far as I know, that is the problem with bitmap graphics. There are some ideas to solve this. One is to put the graphics in exact position (i.e., _x=1.0 not _x=1.6, _y=15 not _y=15.3). Another is to set _quality to high or best in html publish settings, and set jpeg quality to 100 in flash publish settings.
I have no idea if there is an AS to manage this.

Another workaround that I usually do is to scale down the graphics in flash. If I want to display graphics 300x300 in flash, I made the graphics, say, 400x400 in photoshop. It worked for me.

Hi,

Perhaps if you create one version of the same image for each of the possible settings and choose which one to load after detecting the users resolution.

You can find a good tip for system capabilities in this thread:

In this other one you have a suggestion in one of the last posts by theUKDude to use Javascript to detect the users settings. (Altho I haven't a clue on how to do it).
Still, this thread is very nice for scaling issues.
