Of course it would stick to a certain ratio, currently I'm using 2:1 but that could be changed (maybe I should use 16:9 since it is the standard widescreen ratio). I am only using Actionscript 3 for code...

I was trying to further reduce the filesize of a SWF file by optimizing the embedded PNG graphics (using ImageOptim tool). To my surprise, this didn't yield any effect, so I created two test Images (get them here: http://www.filefront.com/16902865/images.zip): Original (434kb) Optimized (274kb) When embedding either of these assets in...

Doing a trace on the resul...

However, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to detect if the plug-in is installed and just disabled. I didn't see any documentation in the Flash Player Detection Kit that checks if the plug-in i...
