I have trouble when testing flash movie because it only shows part of a whole thing, like 1/4. I can expand it a little with window expanding but not nearly enough. What to do?

Bigger dimensions = slow rendering for the Flash player. However, if you code in AS3, this is less of an issue. 550x400 is most popular eh? That's the default stage size in Flash. Haha Ezion: Yes.

In the end, I settled for 480x600 because it fit best with the type of game and seemed to be a somewhat common resolution. Looks like I might've had that backwards, though. A question about resolution; does processing required for a flash movie go up linearly or exponentially as you go up in pixels? An 800x600 flash seems like it would be very intensive.

Of course, the stage size is something to expermient with. A smaller stage size leaves less blankspace you'd otherwise have to fill. Less clutter!
