Fitting Flash While Keeping Scale

[gilberb001]

Hey guys,

What I would like to find out how to do is get my .swf file to expand so that
it fills an entire frame in Dreamweaver while keeping its scale. I've already
tried publishing with the percents instead of pixels, but for some reason when
it expands it still changes the scale of the .swf file to fit.

Hope you understand wut I mean. If you need more clarification lemme know cuz
I'm in desparate need of help, I've searched everywhere I know for the answer,
but no luck so far, hope you guys can change that. ;)

Yes please clarify. Do you really mean scale or do you mean aspect ratio? If you want it to expand, it has to change scale. That's what scale is.

OK Basically i want the .swf file to expand while the contents stay the same size.

I am not sure that is possible. Since you are using dreamweaver, you can define
the CSS background image properties to fill the entire window with an image
repeatedly so there is no white space and then play your movie as a certain
size (pixels). The size of the movie is taken from the first movie loaded in
the player. All other movies will adopt that style even if they are published
differently. Personally I like resizing the movie to fill the window. It makes
it easier for people with small screens or low resolution to see it. I don't
know what reolution and screen size you are working on but you should change
your screen settings to different resolutions to test you movie to see how it
will look to most of the world. I work on 1600x1200 with a 21" monitor and I am
the world's worst about being inconsiderate to VGA users with a 14" screen.

thats the page im talkin about. u can see i got the width to expand to fit the
screen, i was just curiousif it was possile to get the height to pit the screen
as well. Cuz i know you can make the height of the swf 100% and the keep the
aspect ration the same for the contents of the file as long as the width stays
its defined pixels, but you cant make both height and width 100% without
everything in the swf file enalrging along with it.

So basically i was just wondering if it was possible.

Set width and hight of movie to 100% (in the object and embed tags). And set
the scale parameter to noscale

In the object tag, that would be: <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
In the embed tag then: scale="noscale"

If you can't figure it out: check the source of my website.
