If I understand you correctly, this area is controlled by the Shockwave
player. My first question is, is the background of the Director file gray?
If you set the background of your Director file to the same color as your
html background, it may fill in that area with that color, rather than gray.
If you are relying on a gray background for your file, you can put a gray
shape in channel 1.
If your background is not gray, you would probably need to dynamically write
your Shockwave tag.
1) Determine window size
2) Calculate the max size you can go with Shockwave while maintaining
proportions
3) document.write the Shockwave tag.
However, this uses a hard-coded size, rather than a scaleable size, so
resizing the window may not change things. Or, if it will work with
resizing, the gray may creep in during resizing and you may have to refresh
on every resize.
I'm sorry I don't have the time to test this right now, but these blind
gropes may give other folks some ideas....
