Hi Alex,
If I load chat.swf directly in the standalone player or in a browser,
the app resizes as expected.
We have people installing the chat widget on their blogs in all
different shapes and sizes. It's only when we load it into another
Flex app that it doesn't behave. One clue that might help is that
when chat.swf is loaded into another SWF, the preloader is scaled up
significantly, but then the app frame itself is scaled ok but it's
dimensions match the width and height of the window (offset by the
SWFLoader's x,y position) instead of respecting the SWFLoader's
dimensions.
The mx:Application is very simple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
xmlns:views="com.searchcoders.minisites.chat.views.*"
layout="absolute"
backgroundColor="0x204a96"
backgroundGradientColors="[0x67a0cd, 0x204a96]"
>
<mx:Metadata>
[ResourceBundle("Chat")]
</mx:Metadata>
<mx:Style source="assets.css"/>
<views:Chat/>
</mx:Application>
Thanks for your help,
Tom

A flex swf has two frames, the preloader frame followed by the app
frame.
In theory, the chat.swf should be sized by SWFLoader while it is in
the first frame, which should dictate the size for the rest of the
app. If you run chat.swf in the standalone player what size is
it? What does the mx:Application tag look like in chat.swf? If
you resize the browser, does chat.swf respond?
It might be that the app frame has a bigger measured size than
expected.

Hi Alex,
chat.swf is a Flex swf and there's no resizing code in the app. Do
I need to add some? I
assumed it would automatically respect the size of the SWFLoader.
Thanks,
