[size=1]Ok,

I want my flash background to behave exactly like this one:  
[/size][[size=1][color=#4b505d]Blur Studios[/color][/size]](http://blur.com/indexs.html)[size=1]

Notice:

1. Thier background graphics (A light brown top bar with the blur logo on it and a darker, larger brown area that houses the contents) stretches all the way across the browser - from the left to right sides.

How does one go about setting up a flash document to accomplish this? I assume this is done in flash and not dreameaver right?

Thank you!

It is done by putting width=“100%” height=“100%” in the embed tag for your flash. You will notice that if you scale the window the entire movie scales, not just the background.

Already did this in Flash: Settings \> html

This doesn’t seem to make the swf’s background graphics go from one end to the other.

Did you design to a multiple of most screens? Because it will scale, not stretch your movie, so try to design it with something like 800x600. this appears to be how this was made. I think I need to see your problem for anything further. because it works for me…

You mean in Flash, set the Stage to 800x600?
