Re: [flexcoders] Scale the size of a whole application

[Sreejith Unnikrishnan]

One interesting adventure you can embark on is to put the whole application in a mx:Canvas and use mx:Zoom to scale it based on the resolution. I have never tried this before, so can't tell. I have doubts about the font-size etc :-) Sree Matthew Shirey wrote: I was afraid I hadn't explained the problem right... Setting to those just takes up the space, it doesn't actually scale the content larger.  It resizes the layout managers larger which results in a lot of unused white space for my application.  I need the contents to scale so if you make the window twice as large, then all of the contents are twice as big.  Bigger fonts, bigger everything.  I'm not sure how I can clarify this any further... :( -- Matthew On 5/19/05, JesterXL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Make the width and height of your application tag 100%...?  That's what I do to get full screen real-estate usage.  Decreasing margins on things helps a lot too.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew Shirey To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 6:31 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Scale the size of a whole application This may sound like a odd request, but is there a way to scale the size of a whole application so that all of the contents get larger?  The functionality that I desire is similar to what happens to a Flash movie when you make its size bigger.  I'd like to design an application at a fixed resolution like 800x600.  If the user then makes the web browser bigger, I'd like the contents to scale up in size.  Right now, with the layout managers I basically just end up with more space.  A lot of it is wasted empty space.  I have a specific user that is mildly vision impaired.  He makes everything on his screen gigantic.  His monitor is a nice 21" flat panel at 1600x1200 resolution.  I'd like him to be able to maximize the application to 1600x1200 there by making everything in the application which is designed at 800x600 scale up to that size. Anyone have any suggestions?  I was a little long winded there, but I hope I've accurately described my problem and the type of solution I'm looking for.  Any other suggestions on how I can deal with visibility impaired users would also be helpful.  Thank you! -- Matthew Yahoo!
