Re: How change screen resolution

[Andrew Dempsey]

I have recently begun making the entire visual interface of my apps in 
Flash, and running it embedded in Director as one big swf file using 
Lingo/actionscript to communicate back and forth.  I mostly use actionscript 
for the basic interface stuff, and do all the "hard" work in Lingo, since I 
know it better.  The main point is that resizing the app works well because 
the swf resizes easily.  This was one of the main reasons I started 
embedding flash in the first place.  With the greater control over the 
display template in dir mx 2004, it lets you make nice looking apps that go 
with the user's OS look, without doing too many back-flips (as you had to in 
the past).

Just another idea that might be useful.

and that some sprite members do not resize such as text (see docs). 
Bitmap resizing is a drain on resourses if you have too many too large, 
and counterwise for appearance it is better to resize bitmaps downward.

A still better idea would be to resize yur projector based on the screen
resollution. You could do that using the desktoprectlist function in
conjuction with setting the stagesize. You could manipulate the color 
depth
using the property colordepth available through lingo.

Hope this helps.

I'm guessing that the above is referring to setting (the drawRect) = to 
the deskTopRect dimensions for the desired monitor (which will stretch 
the stage & all it's sprites relatively)

You should note that there can be issues with performance if you do this
- if you go this route, be sure to to verify that your application's 
performance on a slower machine is good enough for you requirements.

Subject: <lingo-l> How change screen resolution
Hi
I work on some projects that need change screen
resolution from 1024x768 pixels in 17" Monitors to
800x600 pixels, Is any way for detecting monitor
resolution and colorQuality (32 bit or 16 bit) and
change them when project runs and restore when closing
project?
Regards,
