How to use Javascript to Resize Flash Player

I don't think you can resize the stage.  But you can have a big stage, with scaling content and stage transparent (which you can do with publish settings or so.addParam('wmode','transparent');)

Hope this helps

I can already set the size to anything with javascript. Currently 510x295. I just don't know how to change it after it's already loaded.

var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','playerapp','510','295','9');

Select allOpen in new window

the 510x295 you set in javascript would be only the container size and not the flash stage size.
may be try reducing this values and you will see that the flash content being cropped, if I am not wrong.

I can change those container sizes to anything and flash does resize. So now I need to have an option to change the container size after its loaded. That way users can switch between small and big screen without reloading the page

can you attach the swfObject class/js file?
rename to .txt and attach.

if you can resize flash, then there should be some property where you can directly change.. like,
so.width or so..

I'm using the swfobject.js from here:

http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/swfobject.js

and following this tutorial for embeding flash: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=embedding_flash

that does change the size, but it also reloads the flash player which is pretty large. For example, the code below can resize a flash player without reloading it.

but I want to use the SWFObject as it allows things like single-click player in Internet Explorer. Normally you have to click first to activate flash then again to play.

<embed id="myplayer" src="player.swf" width="510" height="295" allowfullscreen="true" />
 
<script>
 document.getElementById('myplayer').width='1000'; 
 document.getElementById('myplayer').height='1000'; 
</script>

Select allOpen in new window

I figured it out. I looked at the SWFObject code more and realized they basically just used an embed code like above and used the second parameter from the first command as the ID. So the code below did the trick. you did put me on the right direction though. thank you!

<div id="myplayer"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','playerapp','510','295','9');
  so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
  so.write('myplayer');
 
  function change(w,h) {
   document.getElementById('playerapp').width=w; 
   document.getElementById('playerapp').height=h; 
  }
</script>

Select allOpen in new window

I was just working on that : )
Good that you got to solve it.

don't forget, you will have to accept as solution..
the time was also for points ;)
