I'm creating a Flash-demo. The demo is working fine. Now I'm publishing it in HTML. Now I want my movie to scale nicely no matter what resolution view it in. I am currently using WIDTH=100% and HEIGTH=100%, but I would like height to be 100% and width to scale depending on height. Because if I make width 100% my movie gets a sort of sidebars in the color of the movie-background. I would like these to disappear. Can anyone help me?

Dependnig on your target browser(s) you can write in a dynamic height / width for the Flash movie based on the current browser width in javascript.
Something like:
theWidth = screen.wdith;
theHeight = screen.height;
myHeight = (do any math you need to);
myWidth = (do any math you need for the width);
document.write('<embed src="mymovie.swf" width=' + myWidth + ' height=' + myHeight +'>');
I forget the correct syntax for IE and Netscape, because I'm rusty with javascript, bu I did something like that a few years ago and it worked great.
HTH.
