I've been away a couple weeks, from this forum and flash altogether, my gf and I just bought our first house..blah blah blah..anwyay, this might sound stupid, but couldn't you totally shrink the picture size down and then when you upload the html just make the size 100% x 100%...? I know very little about flash, as you know, but this is what I think I would try...

What I'm trying to say is that you could make the picture 1" x 1"(making the file size very small) and then when you upload the html for the page, just make the frame size 100% x 100% thus making it stretch to your "viewers'" screen resolution. I believe Dave must be right, I'm just curious as to why this wouldn't work.

hi Adam, sorry for the delay and congrats for you & your gf re:the house.
Regarding the 100% issue, the reason it wouldn't work is quite simple. When you specify HTML scaling in the Publish settings, the settings apply only to the original HTML page. ie: if you construct a movie with 100x100% scaling which includes a Loadmovie action to load another movie (which you have also published at 100x100%) the 'loaded' movie shall retain the dimensions to which it was created, while the orginal swf shall go to 100x100% because the coding in the HTML instructs it to do so.
Does that make sense? A bit confusing I know.

ps: before someone jumps in with this alternative:
If you were to Load the movie and then scale it as an mc it wouldn't solve the problem either, the original jpg/png/gif/whatever still retains it's byte-size so you would be as well creating it in real-time anyway.
