I have a .swf/.fla that a client bought to put on his website.
The file is 800x400, but I want to display the .swf at 260x130.
Is there a way to resize the file with code or do I have to reauthor the entire .fla and all 25 elements?

Thanks

It would be better to reauthor the entire fla file mainly because of excess file size but you can do it with html.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flash.swf" width="260" height="130">
<param name="movie" value="flash.swf">
<param name="scale" value="exactfit">
</object>

Thats not the code I gave you. Replace what you have now with the EXACT code I gave you.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/flash/butterflies.swf" title="Multimeda Services" height="130" width="260">
<param name="movie" value="/flash/butterflies.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="scale" value="exactfit">
</object>

Looks like you took that literally meaning you didn't change the url for the flash. Try this
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/flash/butterflies.swf" title="Multimeda Services" height="130" width="260">
<param name="movie" value="/flash/butterflies.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="scale" value="exactfit">
</object>
Copy and paste so you don't mess up.

It's still just playing the top/left 260x130 of the 800x400 movie. It's not squeezing the whole file into 260x130.

Before I forget, thank you so much for helping me.

I would like to call you if that's possible.

You aren't even using the code I provided. No I don't do personal calls or one on one chat unless you are willing to pay. Take a look at this test page. You will notice that it works fine
