Basically I want this to behave like this.
As in, I would like the image to stretch with the page, change the size of the first one and you will see that the image, object, movie thing will NOT change size, and the scroll bars will show up. In the second one, the thing will change size according to the size of the page. How would I go along in doing this? I've already tried looking at the page source for the second one, it is all jibberish. If you want to look at the first page's code just view the source code under "View" in your browser. Thank you!
 
The source for the second one is jibberish because its not a webpage, its directly linked to a .swf file. And it gets bigger and smaller with the page because thats how swf files act when you go straight to em instead of embedding them in the page.

So to get the same effect, you'd have to have the url be to the swf file instead of embedding it.

Although you could probably re-create the effect using javascript.
 
That's true, you could try putting it in a table (1 row 1 col) that has its width/height set to 100% and setting the width/height of the flash movie to 100%... not sure if flash can handle being resized like that though, i've always thought it was either fit-to-window or static.

That would be a pretty easy flash to create in DHTML though, although I can't seem to get dhtml running properly in firefox.

Check this out in internet explorer as an example of using DHTML to mimic flash tweens.
