Avoiding vertical or horizontal browser scroll bars

1

I’ve seen a site that has no vertical or horizontal scroll bars in the browser window. How do I do that? My page has external swf’s so there is no neccessity to scroll. The scroll bars bottom and side look out of place…

Hello,
I think your swf should not exceed width 766 px and height 560 px and put this code in the head tag in your HTML page
<head>
<style>
body {margin:0px;padding:0px}
</style>
</head>

Best regards,

nope - it depends on your movie size in relation to users screensize,
to avoid scrollbars publish your movie in %'s [U]max 100 %[/U]

the 0 px margin just takes away the 8 to 10px border most browsers have,
quite sufficient when you have full screen bg images

Thanks Ostmalm…but could you tell me in a bit more detail what you mean?
Should I still put code in the head tag?
Unfortunately, I’m a novice and a bit slow on the uptake!!

go to
fiel->publish settings ->HTML->dimensions->percent->100%->publish
and voila !!! the scrollbars should be gone

Thanks again Ostmalm…I’ve done what you said but have got a mixed result. The vertical scroll bar becomes non operational (good) but nonetheless remains in place as a sort of ghost image (not so good). I know that there are some sites where even the ghost image of the scroll bar disappears. Any further ideas?

as far as i know the IE shows that stupid vertical scrollbar
but there should be a javascript for getting rid of that,
search one of the sites on javascript like dynamicdrive.com
