I was wondering if there is anybody out there that could help me. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or that is just the way it is.
I have used flash for my top menu and also my side menus, I thought this would be the easiest way to be able to update the menus for the whole site.
If I place say a flash menu in dreamweaver size 100 * 200 it looks great. If I then alter the movie to say 200 * 200 (In Flash) and view the page in explorer it comes out misshaped.
Now I have gathered (I think) this is down to dreamweaver giving the flash movie a size when placing it on the page in the first place. Changing the movie size in Flash will not change this figure.
To get around this I have to open up every page that contains this flash movie and alter the size.
Now is this a dreamweaver issue or is it part and parcel of HTML?
Thanks for help
Sir D. (I hope this makes sense)
you could use dreamweavers site wide find and replace feature (ctrl+f) to change all instances of the object and embed tags.

Ben is correct.
The first time the embed or img is included in the page DW defualts on the particulars of the image or object. This is saved as a attribute with the element of the code, hence its a hard copy. However if you alter the dimensions of the image or object, then DW will still retain its original attributes that it assigned to the file.
Hence one way around it is too find the line of code and alter it to the appropriate dimensions in the code view, then copy it and delete and paste through out the pages. Or as Ben was suggesting a site wide edit.
Thought I was not going crazy.
