Resizing video within SWF, while maintaining size of skin?

programming flash

Hi guys! I’m new here. In fact, new to Flash altogether.

I’m using the default Flash CS3 FLV player, with the Mohave skin. I’ve set the SWF to be 320x285 (with controls). Some videos have an aspect ratio of 16:9, which resizes the skin, instead of just the video.

Here’s what I’m seeing:

The left is left untouched, with this markup:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="285" id="wicked_video"  data="<?php echo $dir;?>includes/wicked_player.swf">
    <param name="movie" value="<?php echo $dir;?>includes/wicked_player.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
</object>

and these settings in my SWF:

autoSize: false
maintainAspectRatio: in the above example, the left sample was set to ‘true’, the middle sample was set to ‘false’)
skinAutoHide: false

The right sample in the example above is my desired output.

Thoughts?
