I don’t believe you can dynamically resize an iframe in HTML. I could be wrong, but I really don’t think so.

No, you can regular frames, or just use tables to align everything the way you want it, but thats about it.

Well you would have to have the Flash movie on each page, but you can use just a getURL and target \_self

Because Flash and HTML are two different entities entirely.

Perhaps it will be a future thing for Flash, but until then you will have to use frames or iframes if you don’t want to put the movie on every page.
