SWFObject add-on: Size limiting for full window flash

On a recent flash project I stumbled upon the following problem. When creating full-window flash, having set stage dimensions to 100% in SWFObject, users with small screens were unable to see content positioned off screen. On a standard html page scroll bars would automatically have been provided, enabling the user to scroll down to see the off screen content.

After a little ‘googling’ I found this SWFObject addon for explicitly setting a ‘minimum’ stage dimension, and hence providing scroll bars should the browser dimensions fall below this.

Pretty useful for those users viewing content on their 10inch notebooks!
