PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - How do I get flash files to embed at full size?

I guess I don't understand. You have the width hard coded into the embed-fla.tmpl file. If I don't know coding I don't see how reading up on the web is going to help me unless you are implying "learn php" to fix the problem?

You don't have the width and height hard coded for images and they are allowed to be their natural size, yet you haven't given swf files this same ability. I know it's "photopost" and not "flashpost", but maybe you could give me some direction as to how to get it to just show it at the flashes regular size?

Seems stupid to me that the code doesn't just show the flash at it's regular size if I take out the width and height code, but I guess it didn't seem too stupid to the person that invented how the code works.

The problem is I can set the height and width vars to huge numbers and then it will show most flash, but it still isn't the best. I was hoping it would be possible to get some help on getting it so that photopost just showed the full flash video at it's regular size. Can you give me any type of quick code change that would allow photopost to know/adjust to the width of any flash video being shown on showphoto.php?

Thanks for any other help or directions you might be able to provide. I'm completely lost when looking at most of this code.
