If you use the default Match Movie setting in the Dimensions field, values in the
OBJECT
and
EMBED
tags in the HTML file are set to the exact dimension of your movie. To change the
dimensions, select either Pixels or Percent of Browser Window, and type the new dimensions in
the Width and Height fields. Your movie will resize to fit the new rectangle only if you have not
selected No Stretching in the Stretch Style pop-up menu on the Shockwave tab.
■
To create an HTML file with parameters that match the height and width of the movie,
select Match Movie.
■
To specify height and width values in the HTML file in pixels, select Pixels.
■
You can select Percentage of Browser Window, and specify a percentage in the Width and
Height fields. (To make browser resizing affect the size of the DCR movie, you must specify
percentages and select either Preserve Proportions, Stretch to Fill, or Expand Stage Size on
the Shockwave tab of the Publish Settings dialog box.)

On the Html tab, select an option from the Stretch Style pop-up menu.
■
To specify that your movie not resize at all, select No Stretching.
■
To maintain the same aspect ratio of your original Director movie no matter what size the
user makes the browser, select Preserve Proportions. The movie will fit within the width and
height parameters, as much as possible, while preserving the movie’s aspect ratio. The movie
aligns within the window based on the align tags that you specify in step 4.
■
To change the size of the movie to fit the size of the browser, select Stretch to Fill. Any
browser resizing stretches the movie to fill the width and height parameters. Note, however,
that if the aspect ratio of the movie changes, sprites on the Stage could appear distorted. If
you select Stretch to Fill, Director ignores the align tags that you specify in step 4.
