[EggCustard]

Hi all

I'm new to flash and have a couple of questions to help me understand a few issues I'm having.

1) I created a movieclip animation and set the speed at a higher rate of fps than the site i later added the animation too - so the other animations I have are at the correct speed - i had forgotten to change the default from 12fps when I did those.
Is there an easy way to change the speed besides changing the document fps - I don't want my animated sequence to speed up or slow down as I've just got it to the way I want it.

I'm hoping that isn't too a stupid question

2) I thought that when you published the flash site it would 'crop' itself to the document size you set? I've tried uploading the published site and I have a white space around the top & bottom which looks terrible! I tried changing the size in dreamweaver but it's so hit & miss, sometimes it changed (but resized the whole flash site) or just didn't change anything. there must be something I'm doing wrong or an easier way to do this.

I've uploaded (for testing to see what it looked like - it's still very much in it's infancy and it's slow to load as I need to change an animation size - didn't prepare the raster images for web in one of the animations - trying to sort that now) on the end of my other website so that you can see what I mean:

I'm not allowed to add an url as I've not posted 15 times so er... hope this is ok (I'll delete if not) runnycustard is the site name and 'spare' is the page!

(oh, and the background blue has a low opacity so I created a gif image to add to the html background but it's looks a completely different colour (it's the same hex colour code?!?!?!))

oh, there's so many little things to sort and all sorts of complications with this web building lark eh!

help & suggestions are very welcome
Thanks

You can check HTML object "scale" attribute:

•SCALE - (showall, noborder, exactfit)

* showall - default value. Maintaining the original aspect ratio of the movie so that the entire flash video can be visible in the specified area without distortion. Blank may appear on two sides of the video.

* noborder - Maintaining the original aspect ratio of the movie, but the flash video may possibly with some cropping without distortion while the video is scaled to fill the specified area.

* exactfit - makes the entire movie visible in the specified area without trying to preserve the original aspect ratio. Distortion may occur.
