I've set the publish settings tot 100x100 percent and exact fit so it would adjust to all screens. But just as in your tutorial it won't fit on a 1600x1200 screen (which is not widescreen). I tried to follow your tutorial, but it won't work. I'm not a big coder yet :) Pleas can you help me? Thanks Michélé Belgium Hi, I’m having some problems with the resizing of the website that I’m making.

However, I've noticed that the GUI only stretches on a resize - not on the initial page load.

I want the .swf to be centered and resize with the browser window, but at the same time reveal a tiled background image which is linked through Dreamweaver. I curently have the .swf set to 100% height & width and the scale is set to (Show All). This allows it to work correctly in terms of resizing with the browser window, however the background color of the .swf stretches to the left and right, so the tiled background pattern isn't exposed. Do you know how I can reveal the tiled background on the left and right side while still having the centered .swf resize with the browser window? Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Try setting your body to invisible to see if the header and footer are there but just being covered up by the body. Also, take a look at part three of the tutorial and download the source code.

I am new to the idea of liquid GUI's but would love to achieve this touch to my site as I think its essential for user experience. I’ve followed well what you say up to 'version 1' I can get that working but when I try the code out on my site its not right. I've used the code and split my site up exactly as your version1 but in my site I loose my header and footer once I resize my browser window and also I will need to fix the size of the body ... !! I've loaded up the result on my test space: http://www.armelle.co.uk/test/startagain12.html - I wonder if you can help me. It may just be too advance for me at the moment!! But if it’s something simple then perhaps I can fix it. Any advice would be most appreciated, armelle x Hi James,
