flash (macromedia) : If I can zoom, why can't I zoom the ENTIRE Picture??

A whole lot of educational websites nowadays are using flashplayer - trouble is the windows the little movies play in are only about a 1/4 of the size of the monitor, so it's really not all that much fun. My kids have a hard time seeing it (no they don't sit right in my lap - I have several kids I take care of). I use the "Zoom In" feature but the "Frame" that the movie resides in doesn't enlarge so I get a big version of a smaller section of the picure - I can't see the whole picture in other words.

Is there a way to Enlarge the ENTIRE Picture so that it's easier to see on the monitor?

not sure understand your problem, but try to change the resolution of your screen to 800x600 and most of flash sites will become near full screen

Many Flash sites are embedded into HTML pages at fixed sizes. Although you're zooming the Flash, you're not zooming the size the Flash movie is embedded into the page. The easiest solution is what the above person said, try reducing the resolution of the monitor you're using. Otherwise you could look into using an alternative browser like Opera, which has a drop down that will scale any page up.
