Embed flash (swf) with a width bigger than 712 px

[Roland Thurner]

Hi there!

 

To add an swf to a site I just uploades the swf and than paste an object-tag linkig to the file in the html-editor. I enter a width of 852 px. Then I save and get the result. The swf is sized down to 712 px. If I look at the source code o the actual page i see an object-tag with a width oft 712 px.

 

This guy seems to have the same problem: http://creators.ning.com/video/preguntas-a-ning-creators.I found a solution using an iframe. But for different reason this solution is not good for me. Has anyone got a solution to put a swf bigger than 712 px on the actual page without using iframes?

 

Thanx

It is because the modules have a css style that only allows max width of images and such. Try wrapping it in a div and styling that or change the CSS of the module to allow for greater max width of images and objects.

Hello Sweet Potato!

 

Thank you for your help! I tryed wrapping it in a div and styling it. I gave the div a color so I can see it. The result it, that the div is shown in full size (880 px), but the swf within that div is still sized down to 712 px. So i think it is not css, that makes swf´s shrink, but "ning". It really gives me back a object-tag with a width of 712 px. There is written "712" in the html-source-code. If it would be a matter of css, there should still be the original size written in the source code.

 

Am I right? Is there another solution?

 

Thanx
