Question

I am developing a flash based website using mxml. My monitor’s resolution is 1280×768 and is widescreen. The problem is while it appears properly in my screen it doesn’t appear properly in others. Which is the best approach to solve the problem ?

I have 2 in mind.

1. Let scrollbars take care of it : If the screen is 14 inch screen with
   800×600 resolution it appears zoomed
   in. So thats a problem
2. Get screen resolution and resize using scaleX and scaleY : The graphic
   components will get resized but fonts
   give problem.

Which is the best approach among these ? If there is a better approach please mention.
Thanks

Answer 1

Personally I would develop the screen for 800x600 and then dynamically resize the screen for higher resolutions.

You can use vertical scrollbars but horizontal scrolling is a big no-no in my books. It takes away from the whole experience of your site and gets rather irritating.
