I'm sorry, but I might not understand your question correctly.

What you are asking for IS impossible !!! What size of the browser window
are you dealing with ? Does every single computer in the world have the same
browser window size and aspect ratio ?!?!?!?!!??! Are you living
"Conformity Land" where everything is fixed and there is no individual
personal freedom, or what ???

What you seem to be asking for ought to be obviously IMPOSSIBLE in the real
world.

Your choices are therefore as follows:

1. Scaling movies

If you allow your movie to scale (change in overall size), then you WILL get
some form distortion or margins at various browser sizes and window aspect
ratios. NO OPTIONS, NO ALTERNATIVES. That's what you get !!

2. NON scaling movies.

If you do NOT scale your movie, then you can open up a NEW browser window
to the size of your flash movie and then set the HTML page margins to
0,0,0,0 . This will fit your flash presentation nicely into a browser
window, BUT each browser measures windows slightly differently, so your
JavaScript will need to take care of this and IF you are really so concerned
about it, then HAVE FUN cause you will have write more JavaScripts than you
will work in Flash.


3. Mix & Match

You could also try mixing and matching the two above into something that
might work for you.



Your solution:

Forget about "perfect" fitting flash movies and let loose, accept a margin
here and there and life will be a lot easier for you. :)


Peace brother,


Mats

Last reply to my help request didn't really work.
Can anybody explain to me in detail how I can fit my movie exactly into a
browser with no distortion and no margins?
