A flash project done for a 1024 X 768 needs to be scaled to 800 x 600.
Has anyone had success doing with without degradation to the bitmaps in the movie?

It's unlikely... you'd be better off editing all the bit maps externally... probably a right nightmare!

an unappealing, labor intensive effort...

unlucky.

I cant think of a way..other than a lick scale action in pshop than a mind numbing re-import.

if it's that much of a problem and its a web site... enforce them to only open it if they have the right resolution.

unlikely that u could arrange everything this way, but if ure lucky and can manage to put all ure bitmap in a mc , and that mc that contains ure whole flash , if u put it in the first frame of scene1 with no other frames , only 1 frame , for some reason , then u can downscale it just about like picture viewer would scale an image , which is not perfect but is good egnough , but if you had another frame even if its blank , its not gonna work , so u really need that when you open ure .fla , all you have is the first frame with ure MC there

It's an on-device demo that is to be repurposed for the web...gotta be 800 x 600

is it on a pc or a mac??
if a pc, you can try and find a program that plays flash through directX..
flash is about twice as fast, and the scaling in it is wicked..
i scaled down quite a few movies, through this way and it was ok..
try to find the link

If you had just got on with it... you be nearer to getting it done by now : )

only thing is though, it only works on a pc...

swfXXl is a desktop exe... I though you needed to the swf to work on the web?
Sounds like a nightmare. :-(

all you need to do is find our what the exact proportion would be from you 1024 size will be converted to your 8x6 size... it probably won't be the exact 800 x 600 size, but once you have the proportion that fits your desired size, you scale down your swf file to the size you want when you embed it into your HTML document... your bmps will not loose quality... it will simply be a smaller version of what you created... just remember to keep it the same proportion.. you can get the exact 800 x 600 out of your head. It will probably be something like 800 x 520.
