Auto-resizing Centered Embedded Flash (HTML/CSS)
I am a motion media designer trying to incorporate some of my work for a client into a website for her Christmas gift. I am trying to resize a .swf to match the browser size, as the fixed size is really messing with my otherwise-resizing layout.
Every time I set the width/height of the .swf to "100%" or "auto", the movie gets cut off at the top and bottom under the div containers. When I change the size of the container to 100%, I get a long, thin movie. I've copied my code below, and I would really appreciate your help. Feel free to criticize anything else about my code, too--I'm a CSS virgin.
Thanks so much! :)

Answer
Thats simply a lot of code. to mutch for a stack overflow question i think.
If you want a reponsive flash object with css your should look here or for a shorter version here
CSS:
.embed-wrapper {
width: 100%;
max-width: YOURMAXWIDTHpx;
}
* html .arve-embed-container {
margin-bottom: 45px;
margin-bot\tom: 0;
}
.arve-embed-container {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16/9 ratio */
padding-top: 30px; /* IE6 workaround*/
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.arce-embed-container div,
.arve-embed-container iframe,
.arve-embed-container object,
.arve-embed-container embed {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
take that css and with this html
<div class="embed-wrapper">
<div class="arve-embed-container">
<object YOURSTUFF=HERE>
</object>
</div>
</div>
you sould get everything inside the embed-wrapper work resizeing automatically so 16:9 so u soudl get rid of most of your code and implement something like this
