as you've sort of alluded to, using ems to size a SWF makes little sense for most people, as an em unit is relative to the size of the page's text, and SWF sizing is generally unrelated to text size (unless you're using something like sIFR).
if i were in your shoes, i'd take a slightly different approach: set the SWF to be 100% width/height in a div, then use CSS to control the size of the div. sizing a div using ems is pretty straightforward (esp. if your div has no padding). - philip On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 6:15 AM, rc.griff <[email protected]> wrote: > > Not sure if anyone else has attempted this or not. > > Our site uses em's and has a simple "text resize" feature that > basically increases/decreases the font-size of the <body> tag by a > certain percentage each time a designated link is clicked. > > The problem I have encountered is that the required width and height > variables are set in pixels, therefore our text resize feature does > not resize the flash.
