Hello.  
I have a two column web page, the left column (nav) being a fixed width (200px) navigation column and the right column (content) scales to fill to the remaning width of the browser window. I want to embed a SWF at 100% width of the ‘content’ div but when I do so with the Swf is embedded at the window width and so there is 200px overflow on the right hand side.

```auto
swfobject.embedSWF("application.swf", "content", "100%", "100%", "10.0.3", "expressInstall.swf", null, parameters, attributes);

```

I thought the 100% property would be of the div tag the SWF is embedded in, not 100% of the window width - but this is obviously not the case. Is it possible to do what I am thinking or will I need another solution.

Thanks.
