I was stupid when I first built my site and made it 780 pixels wide, so that is a problem for anyone using a screen res. of 600 x 800 (which I can't understand why anyone still uses that anyway)

My question is....Is there anyway to reduce the size of my file to like 90 or 95 percent. I know I can reduce the document size, but that does nothing with all the content....And I know I can select all the frames and resize them, but I don't think that will resize the movie clips on the stage the same as the rest of it....I just want to know if there is any EASY way to fix this problem......site is www.wmeyerdesign.com

thanks!!

I'm assuming we're talking about Flash.

Yes, there's an easy way. Go to File, then "publish settings". Go to the HTML tab. The second drop down (at least in FlashMX) is dimensions. By default it's set to "Match Movie". I usually set it to percent, then below set it at 100% for both width and height. This'll make your Flash movie resize to fit any browser window.

I usually use mostly vector with some graphics (jpg/gif), and it resizes everything fine for me that way. If you wanna see an example of the end-result, I have one at http://clankiller.com/cisco
If you notice, you can change the size of the browser window and it dynamically resizes the flash movie to fit. :)
