Hey,

My friend and I are playing around with flash and our psuedo-online networks mySQL database, and we’re hoping to hook both of them up to each other. In the end, we want to make a whole flash page that does everything related to your user account/forum (forum headlines, latest posts, PMs, etc), but we want it to be resizeable, and not stretch (for example I place a button that’s 100 \* 30 in the bottom corner, and I resize the browser window (presuming the flash is 100% by 100%), I want that button to be 100 \* 30 and still in that corner. What I want is how to get the current global movie width and height. I tried making a dynamic textbox that was like 130 \* 17.4, but when I did dyntext.text = \_width to on frame 1, it just have me 130 (width of dynamic textbox). Any ideas/ways on how to get the actual width and height of the browser instance of the movie would be much appreciated.
