Re: Flash .swf outside webroot: width and height problems

Thx for the fast response. Yes, I am doing that with the images... works fine. I also thought about using either an iframe or a div to control the size of the movie. It would have been nicer to be able to use a regular object tag, as it gives you more control over how the movie displayed. But I guess you can't write the tag and just do a <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="show.php?id=xy" etc. and have the show.php output the header... May have to go for the div/iframe solution. If anyone can think of another way, I'd be happy to try it. Thank you, John. toby ----- Original Message ----- From: "CPT John W.
