many thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this…

i have a 800x600px flash movie containing some background images that are bigger than the movie size. i am publishing the movie as an exe file. when i view the file on my PC the projector opens at 800x600px and the edges of images larger than that size are consequently not visible, which is what i want. however, when a client views the file on her PC she tells me the images are scaling to fit in the projector. i presume this to mean that 900x600 images are becoming 800x533, for example.

i’ve tried including

```auto
fscommand("allowscale","false"); 

```

on the first keyframe of the movie but now the projector window appears to be fitting the whole movie into the projector, with movie clips that i left just off the stage appearing.

could anyone explain why there is a discrepancy between the way two machines are display the exe file? and is there a way to make sure all projectors show the movie in in exactly the dmiensions specified in the authoring environment?
