I have a flash swf animation that is rendered in 800x600 resolution. Because of all of the junk in browser toolbars, I'm finding that a lot of people with 1024x768 screen resolution are not able to fit the entire video into their browser viewing area. I'd like to scale the animation down to 720x540. However, whenever I use the built-in scaling mechanisms for flash, the video becomes very jagged and ugly.
If I convert the swf to a quicktime video, it scales down very smoothly. However, the size of the video goes up pretty dramatically.
Is there a way to get a flash animation to scale down smoothly? I'm fine with using third-party tools and/or making a new swf. However, I'd like to use the swf format if possible.
