1. What should be the size of movie from that i mean THE MOVIE'S HIGHT & WIDTH.

2. And if i want to load a movie how it is done i.e. what should i put in the address in actions window i.e. the simple movie name such as "usman.swf" or "http://fortunecity.com/usman.swf"

3. What is the most used and appropriate font used in creating flash movie.

1. A movie's dimensions are totally dependant upon the project. A banner for instance may be 400x50, whereas a web-based Flash site might be 610x320 (this is how much viewing area a 640x480 browser has).

2. The Load Movie feature works like the IMG tag on an HTML page. If all your SWF files are in the same directory, then you can link to "mymovie.swf". Similarly you can also use "folder/catwalk.swf" and "../dogwhistle.swf". If you want a load a file from another server then you can use "http://server.com.au/notmine.swf"

3. Arial is very widely used on PC, and Helvetica on Mac. Once again, though, an "appropriate" font is based upon the project. But for clean, easy-to-read text, Arial is good.
