Im trying to change the size of this video object from 416x374 to 640x500.

```auto
<object width="416" height="374" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/apps/cvp/3.0/swf/cnn_416x234_embed.swf?context=embed&videoId=us/2011/10/28/dnt-mom-learns-death-thru-facebook.wsyr" /><embed src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/apps/cvp/3.0/swf/cnn_416x234_embed.swf?context=embed&videoId=us/2011/10/28/dnt-mom-learns-death-thru-facebook.wsyr" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" width="416" height="374"></embed></object>

```

When I change the numbers, I get is a black box around the video and the video stays the same size.

I tried adding these parameters and none worked: scale=“aspect”, scale=“exactfit”, scale=“default”.

From what I understand, this swf is being scaled inside flash using “StageScaleMode”.

Is there any way to override this and change the embed size?
