Darin, I've actually seen the opposite result. In one of our apps our SWF is embedded in a HTML page (content both above and below it) so we have to resize the DOM's <object> or <embed> (per browser) object. Changing that updates the SWFs canvas to work with. It's messy since we have to trigger a JavaScript event on the fly as the user is dragging a Flex widget but it does work.
