A quick question. I need to embed a 600x388 .swf into a div that is only 584 wide. To do this correctly, should the original flash file stage be resized to fit or can I scale the width/height attributes as shown in the code below without any adverse affects? I have tested a change in the code only and the file displays/functions correctly when put on the server, but I want to make sure this quick fix doesn’t pose any possible pitfalls. Thanks!
