Question

Flash movie height & browser scrollbar

I have an image gallery with a bunch of thumbnails displayed on the page in a grid-like layout. Currently, the swf sits in a HTML page set at 100% width and height. There's a resize listener that adjusts the layout so that the thumbnails all fit on the page at once. So, as the browser window gets narrower, the columns decrease and rows increase as the thumbnails get pushed down the page.

The problem is, once the thumbnails get pushed far down far enough to go past the bottom of the browser, the overflow is hidden and the thumbs "below the fold" are not accessible.

Is there a way to pass the dynamic height of the SWF, so that the browser detects whether or not it should display the side scroll bar?

I think what you did must work (about setting the SWF width and height to 100% HTML).
