1. Re: Flash size in browser
Gibbah Oct 2, 2008 12:27 AM (in response to dbthumb)I dare never even think about inches and other length meassurments when it comes to how large something is on a screen. It allways gives you the wrong answer when you start to count with it. Pixels, pixels, pixels!! =)
Is the flashs width and hight in the HTML document correct? -
2. Re: Flash size in browser
dbthumb Oct 2, 2008 6:05 AM (in response to dbthumb)I appreciate your comments on PIXELS Vs INCHES!
The Flash file is 792X504 PIXELS! 11" X 5". Now, can someone explain
why it displays smaller than it actually is if 72 PIXELS = 1 inch. Does this depend totally on the individuals monitor resolution settings? When dealing with type on a page, size is important. If there is no common ground or reference, 14 point type will display at somewhere between 14 to 10 point. So, what reads well when constructed can end up illegible when viewed in a browser? Then, theoretically, if you construct pages 1/3 larger, assuming that they will be displayed 1/3 smaller, some people will be able to read everything fine and some people will have to scroll left and right, which is probably worse than having to squint to read the type.
