Is there a way to resize Flash source or the swf output (and not by scaling down the swf in the html code)?
I am looking to resize movies made at NSTC dimensions and export them as swf's at half the size. There are alot of bitmaps so I don't want to carry the huge file size of scaling them in the code.
I'm thinking this is something I may have to do by hand.... but I'm really hoping not.

Sorenson?
that might do the trick...

Thanks Dno but Sorenson won't do it - the Source isn't video.. it's an FLA. I don't want an SWF video, just an SWF.

it is a massive pain in the arse if it has bitmaps in it.
its not like you can even put everything into one clip and half the size of it as you will than have scaled bitmaps, which are still large in file size and will not look as crisp.
by hand, frame by frame is the only real way to do it, to maintain quality and reduce file size.

That's what I was afraid of skt.

well are you going to resize the whole swf? you can just export is as scale %100 and no scale that will make sure it fits in your browser without resizing the images. is this what you are looking for?

if its just a timeline animation and not an interactive thing then i think putting it into a video might have been a decent suggestion.
it'd certainly be quicker to do that than having to redo all the images and rescale everything in the flash movie.

It is just a timeline animation, but I'm looking to build the animation so I can export it as NSTC as video then have a "dial-up" version that is much smaller in dimension and file size. I don't want to export as video since the file size will be to large for dial-up. I could tweak an swf so it would work if I can just scale the source.
