Embedding .swf files on an .html page

Question by Lily Evans

I’ve built an intro page for my website (it’s a .swf file) and I’m trying to embed it into an .html file, but the html code won’t allow me to resize the file (I want the file to take up the whole page, so I tried resetting the height and width parts of the object tag to 100% – it didn’t work)
someone told me that the best way to resize the file would be by using javascript. How would I do this?

the code is as follows:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" id="intro to elianas website" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="intro.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#1C140D" />
<embed src="intro.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#1C140D" width="100%" height="100%" name="intro" align="center" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

You also need to provide the height and width for the Object as well.

<object width="100%" height="100&">
    <param name="movie" value="file.swf">
    ..
    <embed src="intro.swf" width="100%" height="100%" />
</object>
...
