Re: [Flashcoders] 4x3 laptop to a 16x9 tv
well i figured out the video solutions. its called use sorenson! 2pass encoding is a life saver! why does adobe even have there own FLV encoding if its going to suck. why would they not want to create a product that outputs there video as best as humanly possible!?!?!?

Re: [Flashcoders] 4x3 laptop to a 16x9 tv
Hi, I did a presentation recently which has to run on a 16 x 9, possibly 14 x 9 4 x 3. All I did was make sure all the text and info was displayed - built the animation inside a 16 x 9 movie clip, but kept the text inside a 4 x 3 rectangle. Then I was able to resize the Flash document to produce 2 separate movies. This was a quick fix and is pretty much the same way as they do it on the telly - if you look most, if not all the action is contained within a safe area on movies / telly where they have to go over different sizes. You can also detect the size of the stage / document and position stuff using ActionScript. There are a few tutorials out there for this: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=enq=flash+dynamic+stage+resizebtnG=Searchmeta= http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=enq=flash+dynamic+stage+resizebtnG=Searchmeta= HTH Glen Corban Baxter wrote: hey guys, I'm working on a flash piece to be displayed on a 16x9 television but the laptop our client is using is 4x3.

Re: [Flashcoders] 4x3 laptop to a 16x9 tv
Hi, With regards to the pixelation - if bandwidth is not an issue, you can reduce the Key frame interval when you import video. If you set this to 1, it will make every frame a keyframe so will not compress the image as much. This is the only trick we found that worked even then the compressor still gave us annoying artefacts... Try juggling this value a bit - you may get a decent picture with a higher interval.
