[Xerte] Stage size of embedded swf - Xerte 2 Desktop

[Peter Snowball]

  My understanding is that you have to add an interaction to the page 
and then add an event - "onLoad" linked to the icon id of the swf.  Then 
you add a script that will set the size iconid._height = 158 etc.  I 
have many graphics added to an entry frame and am likewise looking for a 
simple way to ensure the graphics are sized and positioned correctly by 
script and a simple example  rlm model that does this for a number of 
graphics or swfs would be a great help.
