Richard,


You can control how and if the movie scales within the HTML code and change 

whatever Flash publishes, but it is probably easier to change stage 

dimensions and how it scales within Flash.


In any event the following came from 

http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/fillthewindow.html and gives a good 

description of the "scale:" choices in the "Publish Settings" dialog box.


*****************

HEIGHT="100%" WIDTH="100%" SCALE="EXACTFIT" this combination forces every 

edge of your movie to the edge of the browser, and distorts your movie to 

fit the aspect ratio (proportion of height to width) of the browser.


HEIGHT="100%" WIDTH="100%" SCALE="SHOWALL" this combination fits the width 

or height of your movie to the smaller of either the width or height of the 

browser. your movie will not be cropped or skewed to fit the browser 

window, but there will be borders on either the top and bottom or right and 

left of your movie.


HEIGHT="100%" WIDTH="100%" SCALE="NOBORDER" this combination adjusts either 

the height or width of your movie to the larger of either the width or 

height of the browser. when the dimensions of your movie do not match the 

dimensions of the browser, your movie will be cropped on either the top and 

bottom or on both sides.
