hi there,

can you guys please answer some FLV questions ? i’m tring to build a similar FLV player to the one Google Video has. here is a quick reference, just to ease your searches : [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9198564143334239454&q=flash+8](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9198564143334239454&q=flash+8)

1. you can see that the movie isn’t filling the space available. there’s a lot of black space and the actual showscreen is in the middle. i will create an embedded video in my library and add URL dinamicly, but how can i set the movie in the middle and then have the rest in black?  
can i do this :

```auto
my_video.[COLOR=#000087]_x[/COLOR]= ...
my_video.[COLOR=#000087]_y[/COLOR]= ...

```

and then in the back of **my\_movie** is a simple black shape ? what about the sizes in width and height of the **my\_movie** instance?

1. if you try to resize your HTML browser you will notice that the player behave consequencely. it shrinks the sides and moves the buttons in the right possitions, even if the browser will look at 350x220. is the player a component? that’s why it makes this perfect arrangement ?

2. how do you make that **Full Screen** option ? (button in the right)

3. what is that option **Smooth Option** on the last button? how is that possible ?

thanks a lot, guys  
please answer at least some of these questions
