I apologize if this appears as a cross posting, I tried to post in

My issue pertains to both flex and flash CS4.
I have created a course player in flex that loads flash cs4 swf files
using swfloader.
This swfloader is set to scale the content. The player can be sized
depending on a control setting(800x600, 1024x768,..)
The Flash CS4 swf files are created at 800x600 and scale appropriately
to larger sizes within the flex player EXCEPT for a page that has a
combobox embedded in it.
When this combobox page is viewed at 1024x768, everything looks fine
and the swf content appears to have been scaled appropriately on the
page but when I select the combobox the dropdown menu list has not
scaled properly. Playing inside the flex swfloader the dropdown menu
list remains at the 800x600 size and appears to be 2/3 of the total
width of the combobox. See image below:
combobox problem illustrated
If the swf file is made full screen outside the flex based player, the
dropdown menu list scales properly and expands to 100% of width of the
combobox. See image below
combobox dropdown looks good
When I look at the combobox width and dropdownWidth using De
MonsterDebugger when the Flash CS4 swf page is playing within the
swfloader, the values of both are set to 330. If I increase the
dropdownWidth to 500, the width of the dropdown list expands to the
full width and a smidgen more but the font stays small. It is almost
like the dropdown list is not being refreshed/scaled when the content
is being scaled.
Any hints or recommendations on how to get the combobox list to resize
appropriately within swfloader would be greatly appreciated. Is there
a new actionscript 3 combobox method which I need to define to make
this happen?

Noto Bene - my flash 8 swf file with a combobox loads in the swfloader
and scales beautifully. Not a solution since we are upgrading our
content to flash cs4 actionscript 3.
