HTML Publishing Question - percent

Aloha All,

this is my first post here. I am pretty new with flash, I have been learning from all the knowledge the web has to offer. after fussing with this issue for a while I decided to seek help from the pro’s ;).

my issue is when I publish my .fla file I have my html publish settings at 100% so my .swf file will take up 100% percent of the browser. yet on some screens where it does not take up 100% of the screen you can see what is going on off stage. is there a way to stop this?

I know there must be a way. any advice you can give or directions you can point me in are appreciated.

ps: the only work around I can think of is somehow masking the entire stage, is this the solution?

thanks
