I’m developing Flash for a preexisting CGI application. It loads the SWF into a pre-defined template, which I can edit, that contains almost nothing but the OBJECT and EMBED tags. The trouble is the Flash movies to be loaded vary radically in size, but I need each of them to be displayed at their actual size.

What I want would be similar to the way a JPG in an IMG tag will automatically scale to its own dimensions if the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes are left off.

Is it possible to do this?
