The only way to disable scrollbars in a browser window is through
JavaScript. If you use the window.open() method, you can specify
scrollbars="no". If you're not using the window.open() method and you

My point was that if you are not using window.open() then the browser's
scroll controls should run automatically. There is no function to
"enable" the scroll bars. They are automatic.

Thank you, but I want the scroll bars to be enabled. The only javascript being
used is the default AC_RunActiveContent.js. I am also using the Stage object
to keep everything centered on re-size with noscale. If I change the
width/height params from 100% to 800px X 600px (size of swf), iget scroll bars
but I lose the Stage centering. My swf aligns to left top.

I only need the scroll bars for a tiny portion of viewers who have ancient
monitors.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again.

Rob,

Thanks for staying with this. Unfortunatly, I am not getting scroll bars on
Mac or PC, IE, Firefox and Safari. I called Tech Support and they told me the
same thing. They suggested a fix of placing an empty paragraph after the
embedd tag, which I did and vertical scroll bars appeared. It does not scroll
the whole movie however.

I use the default html generated by Flash with the new Active content .js file.

If you go to these sites, you can tell me if you see scroll bars.
