Named Anchors and the HTML doc

Question

Normally, when using the the default "Flash Only" setting in the HTML publish settings, you can set the dimensions to 100 x 100 percent.  This will make the Flash movie fill the browser window and resize with the browser.
I'm using named anchors and am using the "Flash with Named Anchors" setting in the HTML publish settings.  Everything else is the same as when I use the "Flash Only" template.  However, when I publish this HTML document it is not filling the browser window correctly.  Instead, the movie is being displayed as if I had set the movie size to 100 x 100 pixels instead of percent.  In other words, the Flash movie is squeezed into a size of 100 x 100 pixels.  Something is causing it to misinterpret percent as pixels.
I've looked at the HTML document and it correctly says width="100%" height="100%".  This problem occurs in Firefox 3.6.  Everything displays correctly in IE8 and Safari 5.  Thank you in advance to anybody with advice or a solution.

It has nothing to do with what Dreamweaver will let you do
nor not do, it has to do with what you the panels are "told" to do
in certain situations. In this case you want to open a specific
panel, preferably based upon the anchor name that you're already
using. Take a look at the URL Utilities sample page, in particular
at the last example:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/URLUtilsSample.html
This means you'd need to get the full Spry download:

If you wanted, you could add a query string parameter like
the above example does, but that might mean changing a lot of
links.
Or you could modify the example code above to "slice" out the
first letter of the anchor and figure out the index of the tab to
show (they use a 0 based index, so 'a' would 0 and 'z' would be 25.
Try the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var hash = window.location.hash;
if(hash){
// get the character code of the upper case of the first
letter then subtract 65
// 'A' has a character code of 65, so the subtraction gets
our tab index from 0 to 25
var charCode = hash.toUpperCase().charCodeAt(0)-65;
if(charCode < 0 || charCode > 25){ // If not in A-Z
range, use default for 'a'
charCode = 0;
else{
// Default to tab 0, or 'a' when no hash present
var charCode = 0;
//The defaultTab value checks to see if the url param is
defined. If it is not, it sets it to 0.
var
var TabbedPanels1 = new
Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1", {defaultTab: charCode });
//-->
</script>
