I have an FLVplayback in Flash 9 using AS2. The stage is 450px wide. I want the display to be 600 wide, losing 75px on each side to accommodate a 16:9 video in a 4:3 player. I am using the ClearExternalAll.swf for controls and would like to scale the display only - not the display and controls.
I know I could skin the controls..but it would be much easier if there was a way to force the ClearExternalAll.swf to stay put and not scale off stage w/ the FLVdisplay.
I've tried going into the Flash 8 and 9 skin fla's...setting this like:
this.border_mc.anchorLeft = true;
this.border_mc.anchorRight = true;
to no avail. I tried moving things around in the templates... trying manually setting the maxWidth but maybe I'm overlooking something obvious?
Has anyone ever done this?
thanks!
