Linking directly to swf vs embedding in HTML

Hi,

I am currently compiling AS3 using the free flex SDK on the command line.

I usually link directly to the swf because the browser scales it exactly how I want it to look.

If I wanted to embed it in HTML, how would I go about to make it look as close as possible as when I directly link to it?

I have tinkered around setting the scale parameters in both the AS3 code and the parameters in the html "embed" and "object" tags but I can't seem to get the right combination. :confused:

Anybody done this before?

Cheers!
