Question

Movie squashed in IE

Hi all,
I've put together a website at w w w . s t e p h e n - d a o u d . c o . u k (without spaces obviously). At first I had the movie stretch across the screen as there is a grey border at the top that I want to stretch across. This worked fine in Firefox but IE would always squash the movie and move it from the top left corner. to address this I added the code:
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
to my flash movie but now the movie will never stretch and on widescreens (macs especially) the grey border at the top of the page stops prematurely.

Can anyone help me with this so I can make the movie stretch across the screen without being squashed and adjusted by IE?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the width in the HTML is already set to 100%. The problem is I have the 2 actionscript lines in my flash file that do not let the movie scale. These are necessary in order to stop IE from squashing and moving my movie but this also stops my movie from stretching across the screen. I want to know if there is a way to allow my movie to stretch across the width of the screen but not let IE squash and distort it.

Thanks again.
