1) You are going to have to modify the code by hand, and not rely on code generated by the publish settings. The publish settings are just their for convenience. In Dreamweaver, you have full access to all sections of the page, so you can edit the head section etc.
I understand you don't want to take up the whole page with your Flash file. You will need to grasp the basics of how <divs> work, and how css definitions work to constrain position and size. I don't know what more to say on this matter other than you want to define your swf at 100% w/h, but have the parent wrapper <div> constrain the overall size and position on the page. Try some basic tests where you set the wrapper to a fixed pixel size and have the swf fill 100% of the div. Move on to a % based wrapper after you understand how the first use case works... In regards to scaling - As I said in my last post, you need to pay attention to the scale modes. Setting the scale param to "showall" should give you what you want (based on your original description). Read more about the different modes here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14149.html 2) Ok, cool. The 2.0 version shipped by Adobe is fine (as I said, I just didn't know where this file came from, or who had modified it) On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 1:54 PM, DogWalker <[email protected]> wrote: > To answer your 1) reply.. > > I did read how to set the size at 100%H/100%W, but this only is > available as part of an html generated page from Flash (Publish > Settings), and all of the code in it which has anything to do with > displaying the swf on the page is written in the html 'head' section > (uneditable for me, as far as I know).
