Re: FLASH: Flash: Urgent help - sizing flash movie with window size

[Scott Rouse]

To begin, the Flash movie with the desired effect does not have any

HTML...it is just calling a Flash file (not a good idea if you have viewers

greater than five close friends).  It has no settings for size because it

has no settings at all.  It defaults to a percent setting (width=100%

height=100%) which I think is what you are looking for.  In the HTML for

your site you have these set exaclty to width=600 height=400 and you also

only have an Embed tag with no Object tag (maybe you did this on purpose

just to display it...I don't know, but you will have compatiblitiy issues

with browsers without an Object tag).  I would suggest opening the publish

settings in Flash and change the HTML settings to "percent" instead of

"match movie" and let Flash create the HTML (embed and object) that you can

cut and paste into whatever surrounding HTML you need.


Good Luck

Scott
