Is there an easy way to resize a pc flashgame to mobile resolution or is there a software that can do this job?...

Thanks for help....

Hi Tech-Adik,
Few things that help you understanding the answer of this question :
1- It depends upon the design of the game. If the developer make the game by keeping multiple screens in his mind then the same game may works without modification of screen resolution on mobile and PC.
2- Flash Lite (that is installed on our mobile phones) is a light-weight version of Flash Player on PC. It means that the APIs available to Flash Lite are less then that of Flash Player on PC. Thus, the developer has to care about that as well and its the main reason that many games of PC doenst work on mobile phone at all.
3- Mobile Phones have low-computing power as compared to PCs,thus,games having heavy 2D frameworks (like Box2D) works very slow at mobile phones.
However, some (light) games work without any editing. Hope it helps you...

flash will automatically scale the game down (if is larger). however the game controls can be difficult to access as your finger on the phone is more larger than a mouse cursor on a monitor...

just put the .swf file (and any asserts used by game) in the phone and see what happens.

Just like add few point here :
1- If you used Vector shapes , they get resized very well.
2- If you used Images (png/bmp/jpg), they get somewhat blurred when resized and with blurred images its hard to pass QA in Nokia Store.
3- Its not recommended to use high resolution images throughout the game and then resize them to lower resolution(s).
