I am working on a site using full flash content. The news part is a swf fil inside of a Scrollpane object.

My problem is this - how come when I load the page, the content gets cut off at the end of the scrollpane while there is still more content beyond it?

It's a problem I've had for quite a time. Usually, I put some almost invisible objects at the end of the SWF file, but now that doesn't solve the problem.


Help?

Can you please give example / links to your site so we can see for ourself what's the problem with the site I have developed few full flash website before and have the same problem with displaying the news in scroll and usually it's due to error in your Actionscripts.

Never mind, but thanks for the help! I've finally solved the problem:

What happened is that because of the SWF's preloader (which is  a mere few lines of text), the first frame loads and the scrollpane assumes that the maximum width and height of the swf is that of the preloaders

So I added some invisible shapes on the preloader to make up for the height and width of the actual frame with the actual content, so when it loaded it went into the perfect size.


Thanks!

The site, btw, is at http://www.home979.com.ph/

It's bunky because it's an abandoned but recently restored project.
