Hi Karl, awesome suggestions :) I did laugh when I saw the fiscal comment. Been battling the penny-wise pound foolish for a couple of years :) Thank you.

This would keep their HTML code intact (no work for them), but give you the advantage of adding your code. Kind-of a "throw me a bone" scenario.

Like setting stage directly or importing the SWFs into your own container then set that to the stage. > Kinda working blind and guessing what will actually be generated. > all i can do is add code to predetermined js files when setting up > the template for use. > Thank you so much for your suggestion. I did try it - by hoping > that maybe that had set up something for scale in their swobject but > wouldn't accept the variable :( If at minimum... if they don't want to let you edit their code, have them list everything you have at your disposal and see if you can use their External callbacks. I saw a getEditModeWidth and getEditModeHeight. I also saw a var propertiesDialogWidth:* = param1; var propertiesDialogHeight:* = param2; Not sure what these point to exactly, but I would attack these first along with setting stage.scaleMode directly. See what bites. If you find that it would easier to accomplish all this by adding some lines of HTML, then demonstrate that to them. I mean if its an amount of work and hundreds of files, might be the more fiscal approach.
