Please Help! resize flash if screen resolution is lower than 1024

[gravitysub0]

Grrr...

So the idea is simple, if our visitor’s screen resolution is smaller than 1024, we want to have a flash that resizes, if it’s 1024 or higher, we want to give him our intended size with a noscale.

I have found the following script on line:

Just in front of the javascript embbed of flash, you add:

if(screen.width < 1020)
{
var myScale = 'showall';
}
else
{
var myScale = 'noscale';
}

then within the Adobe’s embed, change the line

’scale’, ‘noscale’, (or whatever else)

to

’scale’, myScale,

but i can't seem to get it working, my opinion is that i use this script in a wrong place?

The embed code is not going to recognize a javascript variable. Not sure if you can do this within an embed tag, but try:


’scale’, <script>myScale</script>,

Thank you for an advice but I tried and it doesn't work. Is there any other way people might know on how to do this?

Hey there, I have done something like this before.
I havent checked this code:

// javascript function
function getDim()
{

if ((screen.width < 1024) || (screen.height < 768))
{
return document.write('mySmallerScaleHere');
}
else
{
// you may just be able to return the size instead of using document.write
// return ('my1024ScaleHere');
return document.write('my1024ScaleHere');
}
} 

In order to get this to work, you will have to use something like swfObject.

you should already be using something like this.
Just call the function inside the tag fro scale.

If you have problems let me know and Ill see what I can put together for you.
Im out of time right now

OK, here ya go.
Just did this test an works fine.

I included the newest swfObject js, but it would be better if just go download it so you have the other supporting files if needed.

Get the zip file below and let us know if it works for you.

I agree, this is the same method(s) I would recommend..

in my footer are two links called resizeFlash 1 & 2 both describe ways to edit/alter the dimensions...

you may also want to check out the link in my footer called fullscreen..

hope this helps..
