Hi. Noob here. I’ve got a scaling fullscreen flash site. When you have a 16:9 image and adjust the browser to fit a 4:3 screen it crops off the side of the image so it doesn’t distort it. Great that it doesn’t distort but not great that it crops the photos as it’s a photographers site.

I worked out how to open the site with the browser set to 16:9 proportions with HTML code. But you can then still adjust it to 4:3 which I don’t want. Is there a way to keep the browser always in 16:9 proportions if made smaller or larger?

The effect I’m after is like in photoshop when you do a free transform and hold down the shift key to keep the proportions right.

Thanks,
