With Flash I design for 1024x768 and allow resizing, ie width=100% /
height=100% this
way the movie still looks good at 800x600

Here's a detection script I wrote last week for different sized backgrounds
for an HTML page,
and easily configd to display movies for different rezolutions, if you
don't see how just ask me,
if's very simple.

< SCRIPT Language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--

function getWallpaper() {
if (screen.Width == 1024) {
i = 0 }
if (screen.Width == 800) {
i = 1 }
if (screen.Width == 640) {
i = 2 }

image = new Array(3);
image[0] = "1024.jpg";
image[1] = "800.jpg";
image[2] = "640.jpg";

document.write('<BODY BACKGROUND="' + image[i] + '" BGPROPERTIES="Fixed">');

}
//** end hiding of JavaScript -->
< /SCRIPT>
