How do I make a flash movie fill the whole browser window?

I've tried making it 100% high and 100% wide in the embed tag like (see the code below), but it doesn't work in IE - only in FireFox...

Any help's appreciated. Thanks

HTML Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled-1</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="750" height="500" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="Untitled-1.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="Untitled-1.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="100%" height="100%" name="Untitled-1" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Its inpossible.. you have to set the size.. although if i am mistaken, then id love to know.

What if you used a language like php. Then you can get the user's screen dimensions(how exactly? I don't know but I've seen it done) then set the retrieved values using variables $userW=800px $userH=600px. then put the variable <?php $userW ?> in the embed width tag and <?php$userH ?> in the embed height tag. That's just an idea I don't know if it'll work and my coding abilities are advanced enough to write working scripts...so HAVE FUN!

Check out this website, www.Razzetti.com, it has a full screen flash. Does anyone have any idea how they've managed that? Thanks alot :-)

you could use JavaScript to catch the users screen res and then re-direct them to a page that had the flash the right size.

Or you could just link directly to the .swf file and it will load full screen and re-size if you change the browser window size. This isnt ideal if you have an animation heavy graphic as it wont run well on slow computers.

Try This:

<p><object classid="clsid

27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="movie" value="LOCATION OF YOUR FLASH FILE">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="true">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed width="100%" height="100%" src="LOCATION OF YOUR FLASH FILE" play="true" loop="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object></p>
