flash proportions

[bunglebrown]

I'm trying to make a flash file in my page proportional - how can I do it? What in this code could I change to proportion the file? I've tried a variety of combinations without success. Thanks to anyone.

 
  <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','800px','height','517px','vspace','0','hspace','0','align','top','title','Movie Title','src','flash_file','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','scale','noborder','movie','flash_file' ); //end AC code
        </script><

          <param name="movie" value="flash_file.swf" />
          <param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="SCALE" value="noborder" />
          <embed src="flash_file.swf" width="800px" height="517px" vspace="0" align="top" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" scale="noborder"></embed>

What do you mean by proportional? Do you want it to just fit the page or do you have a specific size ratio you want?

thanks for the sharp reply..

well imagine 3 columns - the outer ones have images in and are already proportioned but the centre one has a flash file which I also want to be proportioned so the whole page is proportional.

So the table is liquid?
Maybe this can help:

Hi,
You can also make a page with the swf fullscreen and embed it in your age with colums with an iframe proprtionned with width="100%" inside the colum. Then you swf will be proportionned and will even resize itself when the whole page is resized!

great stuff. Those suggestions are very helpful to me - thanks!!

on a side note: does anyone know how to place a flash file below something else, e.g. an image. ? ?

[VPmase]

The simplest way is
<img src="LINK/To/Image.jpeg" alt="" />
<br />
<embed><object></object></embed>

Of course you'd actually have to script it.

I was hoping there was a z-index feature that would allow a simpler way of doing this or is that extremely wishful thinking? How can I script the last suggestion which is the all important part for pulling something above the flash file. regards/
