72, if I bring things in at anything else it is larger and I have to resize it down. Many times I am taking images that were used in print at 300 dpi. If I just crank down the image to the pixel dimensions I need and do not change it from 300DPI. When I import them into Flash CS3 they are huge and need to be resized (in flash).
- it's kinda stupid, the image is 200px by 300 px any way you look at it. but not in flash.mrdobolina
- Right, you should always use 72 dpi for web.falcadia
- well in html it shouldnt matter, just the pixel size but in flash it matters.mrdobolina
- to match the monitor. Although they are same w & h.. they are not the same resolution.falcadia
- No it does matter in html. You can constrain the image but if you view the actual image it will be huge.falcadia
- Which will add tons of load time. If it's at 72 dpi it will stay true to it's dimensions.falcadia
- You can bring a high-res into flash but when you export flash uses it's publish setting to compress to 72 in the swf.falcadia
- there are still the same number of pixels though.mrdobolina
- in html I mean, not flash which acts wanky.mrdobolina
- How so? 72 vs 300?falcadia
- Changing your width & height does not affect your resolution. If you use 72 no resizing nessacary.falcadia
- make two images, identical, make one the same amount of pixels but 300 dpi, same number of pixels, the pixel is the same size.mrdobolina
- the same siz3e whether it is 900dpi or 10mrdobolina
- Not when viewed in a browser.falcadia
