I have made this gallery:

[http://pakulaphoto.com/photo\_gal.html](http://pakulaphoto.com/photo_gal.html)

Does anyone have any ideas on how i could make it so the image scales but the text stays at a fixed size?

The flash gallery right now is just a standard .swf file and in dreamweaver i told it to scale the flash movie to 100% width. When i do this however my text scales when i want it to stay a fixed size.

thanks in advance for any help.

The link is to a gallery I made and put online. I would like to know if there is a way to make it so that as the .jpg scales the text stays at a fixed size.
