how to change the height of a /swf file

I am trying to adjust the height of a .swf.  I have tried to change the tag from swf to fla - this is not poss.

I have tried to import it - falsh doesn't like it and it doesn't work.

I have tried to change the height on the code - I cannot do this as it chops off the btm of the images.

Please help,

Thanks in advance,

Bev.

Have you noticed there are two instances where you need to change the size parameters?

width="952" height="406"
width="952" height="300"

These should both be the same.

yes sorry - i have tried both of these being the same.  That was an error when I was messign around with the script. Sorry :-)
You may have better results using the scale parameter.

<param name="scale" value="exactfit" />

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply,

But, the only thingthe code is doing is chopping the bottom off the flash, so that doesn't work, Sorry.
can you upload the files somewhere so I can take a look?
www.zodiac-images.co.uk/netnanny/index.html - is the site I'm temp using.  Thanks for your help with this.

:-)

What am I looking at? i.e. what is wrong?

this is what I can see at the moment...

yes - i need it to be smaller. The flash is taking up too much of the page.
So you are wanting to squash the flash file so it keeps the same width but has a smaller height?
yes that's right.

Thankyou ever so much for trying to help me - you have been very patient and persistent.

Thanks anyway - I'm just glad I'm not as dull as I felt!

Very patient and persistent. Thankyou ever so much for not making me feel really stupid!
You can download a working version from here.

I've used a different embedding technique, called swf object. See the index.html file for how to embed the swf and also note the javascript file that is linked to in the html header.
