found here: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/as3/resizing\_centering\_as3.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/as3/resizing_centering_as3.htm)

and I want it to turn out exactly as it does here: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/as3/swf/resizing.html](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/as3/swf/resizing.html)

Except that when I add the actionscript, follow all the instructions… I then need to put it through dreamweaver where I set the dimensions of the flash file ( \<object type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” data=“flashHomeArea.swf” width=“800” height=“600”\>)

I think that’s where I’m going wrong… Do i need to give way more space to the width/height allowed from flash?

Can anyone help? thanks.
