I agree with an alternative to "showall". depending on the circumstances of what you're doing, there could be a number of different ways to solve it.
Finally though, if you should use "showall", and if your flash movie is 100 x 100 percent, you could use some javascript to give you the size of the browser window. There may be flash object properties that give you the size of the movie. I am convinced that the movie size cannot be determined with "showall" without help from outside of the movie. It seems that "showall" allows the flash player to behave like an observer of the movie, like a camera lens zooming in and out. Relatively, the movie doesn't know the distance between itself and the observer. Just some theory that seems to make sense with the behavior. Hope this helps, M.
