[Xerte] Re: Baffling Behaviour in Xerte - SWF Display

[Kemp Johnathan]

Are you creating your own page or using a Page Wizard?

If you are using the Text Flash SWF Page Wizard then there is an optional
property "Movie Size". If you add this property and set it to the correct
width and height for your SWF then I would expect the SWF to display
correctly, e.g. a value of 600,400 would set the width to 600 and the height
to 400. I have used this in projects to display swf files created with Wink
which otherwise would display as a small image on the page.

If you are creating your own page then it may be that the answer to your
problem can be found by adding a Text Flash SWF page to your project
temporarily. You could use this to see if setting the Movie Size parameter
solved the display problem and then examine how that page is constructed and
how it applies the height and width parameters, so that you could employ the
same technique on your own page .

I hope this helps

Kind regards

Johnathan
