Gettting the width of the movie when in fullscreen mode

1

The problem I am encountering is the following. I have designed my movie which is 500x500 pixels. I use the publish settings to make it 100% width and 100% height in HTML. Now in the first frame of my movie I ask it to show me the width of the movie (_root._width). When I view the movie in the test environment(CTRL+ENTER) the width is returned correctly. When I view it in explorer, the movie is enlarged as it should, but the width returned in 500, not the real width of the movie.

More in depth:

I also get the mouse position in the movie just to see whats going on, the mouse goes to a (-) value as you move it to the left of the screen, this is very weird, since the top left corner should be value x:0 y:0;

Any help on how I could get the correct width of the movie will be greately appreciated.

_root.width will not change based on the html document. it would need a database and would be done in something like php, where it would be sent back to flash. No matter what you do to the size of the movie, the flash swf movie is still 500 x 500. It is just being stretched. I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but I think there’s a way to get the resolution of a computer…
