Allow only parts of percentage-scaled swf to scale?

[CharleyParker]

Is there an easy way to prevent particular elements in a percentage-scaled SWF from scaling?

I want to make a liquid Flash interface in which only the content scales with the browser window, and the navigation elements remain a constant size.

For an example see the portfolio section of this site: http://www.stereotype-design.com/

wrap the naviagtion controls in a Sprite container and wrap all other content in another Sprite container then scale 1 container but not the other heck maybe say con0.scaleX =1; con0.scaleY =1;

Thanks for the reply.

Do you mean turn off percentage scaling in the Publish Settings and perform the stage scaling in code when there is a resizing event, or leave scaling at percentage in Publish Settings, detect a resizing event and reset the con0 scale at that point? (Or am I missing your intention altogether?)

yeah scale it with code....i wasn't aware there was another way

If you set Dimensions to Percent (100%) in the "HTML" tab of publish settings, the movie scales uniformly with the browser window, just like dropping a raw swf into the window. It's very easy, but everything scales.

I was hoping there was an easy way to allow that and just tell certain objects not to scale.
