Hi peeps  
Right i would search the forums for this, but it keeps on sendingback mySQL error ☹ bummer!!

Anywhos i wanted to ask … i have seen a few sites that have a swf stretched 100% to your browser and then your content loads into the \_root. But how do you stop your movie being loaded into your root from being stretched?

Thanks in advance

Put this first thing in your actions layer.

fscommand(“allowscale”, “false”);  
fscommand(“fullscreen”, “true”);

If you do that though you’ll need a quit button, since it won’t be in a real browser wind. Make a quit button and put this code on it:

on(release){  
fscommand(“quit”);  
}

Oh wait… or do you mean within an html page? Like within tables and all?

Yup. Ive sorted itnow thaks for replying, took my a while to find my thread again. Heres how i did it

```auto
 //set flash movie possition 
Stage.align = "M";
//no scale
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
//hide menu
Stage.showMenu = false;

```

And set the flash movie to 100% width and height

Would you mind expanding on this? I think I am trying to do the same thing… I want to make my movie 100% of the monitor but everything seems to be stretched…

ie- when I open it with my 23 monitor the content is bigger than when I open with my 17 in monitor… is there a way to keep the content (which are externally loaded SWF’s) static in terms of size?

Thanks
