so im editing a site for someone to support resolutions lower than 1244.

and the banner is a swf. in the swf i do a check on the stage size and if stage size is less than X resize \_level0.

works great in FF but it doesnt work in ie  
on the first frame i have 2 actionscript calls to pop up a js alert  
getURL(“javascript:alert(‘Stage.width’)”);  
ExternalInterface.call(“alert”,Stage.width);

and in FF the alert pops up…in IE nothing…
