Resizing header to browser size

Hello,

My name is Mariana and I've just joined in the hope that you can help me with
the following issue. I am making a very fancy header for a website, this header
is totally made in flash while the rest of the design is done in html with DW.
The size of the flash file is width:770 and height:190. Now, when I go to the
publish settings options and choose Percent: 100*100 and publish it, the result
in the html page is horribly big. I have played around with the other options
to see if I can get a decent stretch effect, but no luck so far.

Is there any way I can tell the header to grow in width but not in height? And
also is it possible to keep the buttons inside the header in the original size
stretching only the background? Somebody told me to put the flash aside and try
to do it with JavaScript. At this point, I'm ?obviously- very clueless, so if
you have any helpful tips, please let me know.

Thanks in advance, Mariana.

Hi Mariana,
One of the option to make your need work is to give your html same background
as of flash file.
don't stretch the flash file otherwise it'll certainly deteriorate the looks.
or if you want to be some resolution specific what you can do is to make the
width of your flash file match the width of display in browser.
other wise you need to do some actionscripting in flash to reposition and
scale etc.
but i think that would be taking too much effort for making a simple header.
