I am a video producer who is just getting into interactive computer training, games, etc. using Macromedia Authorware. The question I have is: What is the best way to package a piece so that when it is loaded into a user CD drive, the piece will start up and run at full screen resolution. Is there a way to force the user's computer to "temporarily" switch to the screen resolution that the piece is built in, or do I have to build a separate piece for every possible screen resolution?

Any help to a newbie would be most appreciatedQ

Thanks!

We have talked about this in the past. The only program that I remember is called Ani Rez v2 (http://www.aniware.se/AniRez.html). Ani Rez allows you to set the screen resolution then your project will run. Maybe someone else can give you some other programs that do the same thing, this is the only one I remember. Hope this helps.

Just curious - are you actually using AMS, or just Authorware?

Thanks Eric. AniREz sounds like what I am looking for. I downloaded it and am going to give it a try.
