flash (macromedia) : No Scroll Bar in Low Res Screens

I just designed a web site. It looks fine on my big screen, but a few people
that I have sent it to cannot see the whole thing. They say there is no scroll
bar on the right side to go down. When I lower my screen resolution to 800x600,
I get a scroll bar. Are they using an old version of flash maybe? I am using
Flash 9 plugin. In my publish settings, I require at least 8 and I have my
dimensions set to pixels under HTML. Any other suggestions? Here is the web
site:

Thanks,
Toby

Thanks for your quick reply. I changed my publish settings from pixels to
percent and it didn't change anything. Any more suggestions? go to my web site,
lower your screen resolution and see for yourself. I really hope I am missing
something small.

Thanks,

Okay here is the latest. I have uploaded screen shots of my publish settings
and document properties. When I publish and export movie, if I view the web
site at a certain resolution, it looks fine. You see all the content. If I
lower the screen resolution to 800x600, it loads but with a scroll bar on the
right side to see the whole page. I went through every possible resolution in
my computer and checked the page. Certain ones worked and certain ones didn't.
Here is a list

Worked:
800x600
864x648
960x720
1280x720
1280x960
1280x1024 and up from there...

Did not Work:
1024x768
1152x864
1280x768
1280x800
1280x900

My web site is www.tobytucker.com

Publish settings screen shots:
www.tobytucker.com/pub1.jpg

Please Check it out and try different screen resolutions. Try the ones I
listed. Each time you try a new one, you need to refresh the web page to load
it again.

Thanks,
Toby Tucker

Have you tried to put it into a table rather than just a div tag? right now you
have

<div id="main">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=8,0,0,0" width="100%" style="height:100%" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="main.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high"
/><param name="bgcolor" value="#111111" /><embed src="main.swf" quality="high"
bgcolor="#111111" width="100%" style="height:100%" name="main" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
</div>

Mabey you should try somthing like
<table width="724" height="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<div id="main">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=8,0,0,0" width="100%" style="height:100%" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="main.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high"
/><param name="bgcolor" value="#111111" /><embed src="main.swf" quality="high"
bgcolor="#111111" width="100%" style="height:100%" name="main" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I have not tried that yet....ummm how do I do that? I am using a template, so
not exactly sure where to make that change. My document properites are 766x800,
so I would put 766 into the width part? I just don't know where to make that
change.

Thanks,
Toby

okay, I found what you were talking about in the index.html file. I changed it.
All it did was move the whole page to the left. So I tried to set the width to
100% as well and it is right back to the same problem. I have tried a ton of
different settings and I can't seem to find one that works. I am using Flash
CS3 and I think this template was made on an older version of Flash. Do you
think that as anything to do with it?

thanks
