Problem with Macromedia (Adobe) Flash resizing in Safari/Webkit

Hi,

hope this is a good moment to ask my question with all the 10.3.9 stuff going on.

But I do nevertheless.

For a week or more I try to get WebKit show a similar behavior as my colleagues on the PC see. (Well I do other stuff as well, but I did spend a reasonable time on this problem here.)

Here is what my problem is:

I embed Flash into a WebKit view and would love to see the same resizing that happens on a PC. And I'm not sure whom to blame, WebKit/Safari or the Flash people.

I have a Flash object that has a document size of 322 x 322 pixels and I use the following in a html document that I use to render into a WebKit view:

<body scroll="no" marginHeight="0" marginWidth="0" topMargin="0" leftMargin="0">
<OBJECT id="cds300_ui" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="475" height="475" ALIGN="">
<param name=movie value="cds300_ui.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<param name=bgcolor value=#FFFFFF>
<EMBED id="cds300_ui" src="cds300_ui.swf" loop="false" menu="false" quality=high bgcolor=#BBBBBB width="475" height="475" ALIGN=""
name="cds300_ui" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</body>

I have fiddled around with gazillion of different parameters, used aligns, scales. It is always that the object is embedded in the middle but still uses itself only the 322 x 322 pixel, whereas on the PC it scales nicely. I have even used a dynamic approach where I create all with JavaScript to no avail.

So is it that Flash cannot resize on a Mac, or at least not in WebKit / Safari?

The Flash application is not really trivial and resizing/-writing the stuff in 475 x 475 would cause a bunch of workload on the guys, and of course it would show the PC guys again that the Mac platform is inferior.

Ah yes a final note. I have searched the web a lot too and didn't find any reference that would deal with this problem.

Any help appreciated,

Michael
