Author fullscreen flash problem

Hello - Here is my dilema: My flash movie is 800x600 with a background graphic
that extends beyond these dimensions to fill the rest of the users screen (this
graphic moves around when the menu items are clicked - you can see this at
http://www.sparrowco.com/clients/hotyoga).

When I publish the file I set the flash to 100% width and height and set it to
'no scale'. This seems to work as I intend it to, however, my client is
complaining that she cannot see the bottom of the page and that she is not
given scrollbars to scroll down to view the segment out of her view. I notice
that if I resize the browser window to be smaller than the 800x600 movie
dimensions scrollbars do not appear to allow the user to scroll down to see the
rest of the page.

Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this? Is there something I am doing wrong
or is there a way to force vertical scrollbars to ensure that everyone can
scroll down the page if needed? I have tried many things already that have not
worked and am at my wits end! Thanks so much! www.sparrowco.com

hi,

More than your problem there is one more big issue in it.. you havent
disabled menu.. pl do tht in fs command.. coz you are giving the end
user too many option.. which can go wrong at any time..

For ur query i'll discuss and get back to you..

I had a similar problem that I resolved. Ultimately i figured out the solution
from this site: http://www.pushhere.com/
In the source html, you will see that this does the trick:

<table width="100%" height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle">
<div id="flashcontent" class="flash">
[b]Flash object goes here[/b]
</div>
</td>
<td style="vertical-align:middle;">
[h]<img src="img/_spacer.gif" width="1" height="610" alt=""/>[/h]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>[h]<img src="img/_spacer.gif" width="960" height="1" alt=""/>[/h]</td>
<td height="1"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Essentially, you have a table wrapped around the Flash Object, then the
transparent dummy gif is placed to provide the clipping area of the flash
object. So in your case, you would want to set the height and width of the
spacer.gif appropriately (like 800 wide by 600 high).
