Problem with flash header size

[dgent]

Check your logowrapper height. If its fixed, then it may be keeping the flash header within its limits.

Also, try scaling the flash file for width AND height.

I changed the height in the stylesheet #logowrapper to 100% and also changed the height within the object tags in the header file and nothing happens. What do you mean try scaling the flash file for width and height?

ok I think i figured it out about scaling I googled scaling flash file and came up with this site http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/flas...ttributes.html. I added parm name value noborder and it did change the size to fit the header size, but it's to big. I think I have to fix the size within adobe flash cs5 to make it 1000px wide not 1200px wide. I will let you know if that fixes the problem. Thanks to everyone who has helped.

You should be able to scale it perfectly within your code. No need to adjust it in Flash. Can you put a link up to your site?

I have tried for a couple of days now to fix this problem and I'm getting nowhere with this. I was able to get the flash header to fit, but it's still out of scale. I'm looking for someone who can lead me in the right direction. Here is the complete code from the tpl_header.php file

<?php

 * to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
 * <br />
 * $flag_disable_header = true;<br />

?>

<?php
  // Display all header alerts via messageStack:
  if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
    echo $messageStack->output('header');
  }
  if (isset($_GET['error_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['error_message'])) {
  echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($_GET['error_message']));
  }
  if (isset($_GET['info_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['info_message'])) {
   echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['info_message']);
} else {

}
?>

Also if you need any other information that may help please let me know. Also I can't give out url because the site is on my localhost. This is what the header looks like currently.

Can't really help without it being live...

But try this.

Get rid of all of the <object> - </object> code, all of it.

and just try this instead..

<embed src="includes/templates/all_business/flash/qasheader.swf" width="1000px"></embed>

[GodfatherAntiques]

ok I made my site live...so the url is www.godfatherantiques.com.
I took out the whole object tag code and replaced it with embed tags. It made the flash header fit within the header, but it's not scaled correctly.
