Hi there,

just a quick question - I was wondering if there was a limitation on size of an flv or swf launched from within another swf? So for example a video that launches on button press inside an swf, and plays in an overlay - is that secondary video limited by the size of the original conatiner? Or can it launch ‘seperately’ and go full screen?

I hope that makes some sense…

Thanks,  
Emma
