Your Flash project may have custom size, but the best proportions are 10:6 (browser window). You can set the frame size to 1000 x 600 pixels. If you plan to design a full screen presentation in kiosk mode (without browser toolbars) you can choose standard screen proportions 4:3 for example 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 pixels, or setup 16:9 widescreen proportions for example 800 x 450 or HD compatible 1280 x 720.
