Percentage point.

I am looking for a clear answer on a subject. I have been searching for a way
that allows a Flash based designed site, when veiwed in a window browser, can
expand, shrink or convert to a percentage of the page. I have seen this done
using other web based design programs, but not in Flash so far. If there is not
a way, it is surely difficult to minimize the sites productivity by making it
clearly visible by a select resolution. Thank you for any responses.

For Internet Explorer, publish the movie "file" "publish settings" "html" as percent rather than match movie or pixels. It will automatically expand or shrink to fit the IE window. Unfortunately this does not work in Netscape and will cause the movie to be about as large as a postage stamp. You really need to have two versions - one for each browser and direct to the correct page depending on what browser is viewing it.

I think you may have to only do this once with the first movie that is loaded. All the subsequent movies loaded with the loadMovie command will adopt the original behavior. If you use getURL to load a movie, it starts the process all over.
