Flash Player - Hiding scroll bars

Hey guys.
I have a bit of an issue here. I haven't used flash in quite a while(4 years or so) and it does seem like my knowledge of it is at the level of my chemistry knowledge. So-here is the deal. I got sent an swf file yesterday(they won't send me the fla file and decompiling it doesn't do the job). So here is my problem-instead of modifying the source resizing it(lets say changing its height from 650 pixels to 640) would do just fine. The problem is that no matter what i do when i try to do it scrollbars appear. Which kind of ruins the whole point of the exercise. So are there any other ways of doing this-effectively hide the bottom 10px? thanks.

If you just want to cut off the bottom of the Flash file then you could use CSS and set overflow to hidden:

Apart from that, you would have to alter the SWF which means getting the source file(s).

yeah.. thats the question-how do i cut it off... as for the css-the scrollbars are from the swf file... its not the browser

No, you leave the SWF at the original dimensions and then use the CSS to cut it off. That way the SWF thinks it is still at the original dimensions and won't show the scrollbars whilst the CSS is what actually cuts off the displayed area.

idk... as i said i left flash years ago so idk... ill give it a go when i get home. thanks!

edit:
i couldnt resist and had to try it now... YOU BRILLIANT LITTLE MAN!!!!!! THANK YOUUUUUUUU!!!!
