Some advice for full screen

Question

Ok, don't know if anyone remembers on the old consoles such
as the commodore 64 and the Amiga's when a game would load, the
screen would be a series of lines of colours scrolling up and down
the screen randomly. No, i want to make my webpage so that when the
page opens... that what you get, no matter what size the resolution
of the users screen. Is there anyway of doing this in flash, and if
so what size should i make it? thanks

I'm not sure if this is the preferred method or not, but you
could use some javascript to capture the size of the user's browser
window and then resize your flash object accordingly.
This is the script to capture the height and width in pixels
of the user's open window:
if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {
//Non-IE
myWidth = self.pageXOffset;
myHeight = self.pageYOffset;
} else if( document.documentElement && (
document.documentElement.scrollLeft ||
document.documentElement.scrollTop ) ) {
//IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode'
myWidth = document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
myHeight = document.documentElement.scrollTop;
} else if( document.body && (
document.body.scrollWidth || document.body.scrollHeight ) ) {
//IE 4 compatible
myWidth = document.body.scrollWidth;
myHeight = document.body.scrollHeight;
At the end of the function containing this, you would resize
your flash object. If this doesn't make sense, check w3schools site
and get some information on the DOM.
