Can size of images in .fla file be edited?

Question

The home page of our site (http://checkoutacollege.com/) uses Flash animation that was created by an agency outside of our organization. We are undergoing a site redesign and are interested in giving our Flash characters less real estate, so I am trying to determine if it is possible to make the characters smaller.  I thought I might be able to do that with the height/width attribute of the object tag in the html, but I guess that would have been too easy.  I know zip about Flash but do have CS3 at my disposal.  Is there a way within the .fla file to make the animation smaller?
Thank you for any advice.

Answer 1

then use as3.
create a new fla with publish settings that use as3 and with stage size the dimensions you want.  then use:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader()
var urlR:URLRequest("yourpreviousswf.swf");  // change this
ldr.contentLoaderInfo(Event.COMPLETE,loadcompleteF);
ldr.load(urlR);
function loadcompleteF(e:Event){
ldr.width=stage.stageWidth;
ldr.height=stage.stageHeidht;
addChild(ldr);
// if you need to anti-alias the loaded swf, more coding will be needed.
