Just after people’s opinions.
Wanting to build my site so that it scales no matter what the screen size. I have set a an HTML page that automatically redirects to load a SWF in the same window. The result means that the SWF will fill the window.
I have tested this on a Mac in Safari, Firefox and IE as well as Windows in IE, Firefox and Netscape. It seems to work fine.
My biggest concern is the URL ends up looking like [http://www.tr](http://www.tr)…file.swf. Just looks a little silly.
Apart from that, has anyone else tried? Are there problems with it? Is there a better way? Should I scrap the idea?
For an example of what I mean visit \Trafffic website.\

you can do many things:
-redirect the users that type your website’s url to the swf file
-configure your server to take the swf file as the index.htm file
- or make a dinamic html that changes the size of the attached flash object
this code inside the flash object in the html page:
_\_
_w = screen.width;_
_h = screen.height;_
_document.write(’ width="’+w+’" height="’+h+’"’);_
_\_
_\< SCRIPT \>
w = screen.width;
h = screen.height;
document.write(’ width="’+w+’" height="’+h+’"’);
\< /SCRIPT \>_
you can adjust the window size to full screen using the javascript function resizeTo(w ,y);
or you can write _window.height_ instead of _screen.height_ to adjust your flash object to the current size of the window
