Why does movie shrink?

[josel]

Hello FLASH'ers!

OK, I am proud to announced my first FLASH movie is up and running

http://www.cbsareus.com

... Check it out and tell me what do you think (nothing flashy about it, but it is a start).

The problem I am having right now is that if you lower your monitor's resolution, the movie shrinks. I publised it using HTML percentages options (dimensions) and set them to 100% x 100%.

I have not tested it changing this setting back to match movie but was wondering as to the reason behind this behavior.

Thank you all in advance!

Based on the fact that the average user would still be using a resolution of 800*600, your movie shouldn't be bigger than those dimensions, and in fact should be a little smaller... Something like no more than 750*550.
Percentage scaling works in some cases, but causes problems in most. For instance, without changing your screen resolution, just reduce your browser's window to a high and very narrow window, and see what it does to your display! Use the Match Movie setting, or set the actual width and height in pixels in your html.

also try the full screen command code. I'm not sure it will do what you want, but give it a try.

Put in the first frame of the movie:

fscommand("allowscale","false"
