I did it on a web site last year, open dreamweaver or what ever.

Then just place the flash into the main screen. save.

Run the html file and its running in the brower

I couldnt tell you how to create a continuous loop though

Right I have done this in HTML as code (with help freom Dreamweaver) and its good. I have resized the flash applet with Swish and thats good. Only prob is now the window in IE (F11 - full screen mode) still shows a greyed out scrollbar down the right.

How can i get rid of this scrollbar ? Have RTFM and STFW but cant find out how to do it.

One option is to create a blank html file with a link that opens a new window to the specified size will no scrollbars as i have found how to do that.

Is that the easiest way round ?

In the HTML code for the flash you can specify the size as 100% (H + W) which may work better for you?

Give it a go

If you have the Flash creation program (not just the flash plugin) installed on the computer, the best way to do it is find the SWF file. Double click it so it loads in the Flash Player and not IE/Netscape.

Then click cotrol from the menu and tick 'loop', then click the view menu and choose 'full screen.'

If you havent got flash installed the swf file wont be associated with a program, if you've got flash installed it will display the flash icon.

<html>
<title>CGA Ltd</title>
<body bgcolor="#000000"><object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
id="cga" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="movie" value="cga.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<embed src="cga.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000"
width="100%" height="100%"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
