Chris. If you don;t know the dimensions of the swfs beforehand, then there is no way on the client-side from the page to get the dimensions. You will either need to use server side tools:
PHP: http://www.webmaster-talk.com/php-forum/160440-simple-php-to-find-swf-dimensions.html ASP: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/tips/t102001-1.shtml Or call a util on the server like: http://www.swftools.org/swfdump.html The other way would be to load the swf into a wrapper swf and get it's dimensions using a class like SWFReader: http://www.senocular.com/index.php?id=2.43 http://www.senocular.com/flash/actionscript.php?file=ActionScript_3.0/com/senocular/utils/SWFReader.as So there you go, many options for you to choose from...
