Resizing Flash graphics.

Do it just by changin width and height in html.

I use flash animations on my web site (.swf files, version 5). I noticed in hind sight that I wish I had made the dimensions of some of these graphics smaller.

I've toyed with just changing the height and width values in the html that presents the graphic. Doing this looks fine to me. Is there any reason why this is not a good technique to use? (Other than the fact that I am transfering a larger size file than would be transfered if I went back and truely resized the graphic.)

Hi. Depending on how you constructed the original Flash movie, there may not be any size improvements. if however you were to export it as a Flash 6 or 8 animation, it would be more compressed.

Changing the size manually in the HTML is not a bad thing at all. It truly depends on whether all original elements were vectorized or not. The shrinking image analogy used in jpegs and gifs is not the same and does not, in theory cause similar problems.

Thanks Harry.
