detecting moniitor resolution 1

[bigbird3156]

Hi there...

Is there a way to detect a computers monitor resolution automatically?

I have just imbeded a flash movie in a html page that is intended to take up the whole browser window.

the problem of course is that if the users computer is set to 1024 X 768 rather than 800 x 600 you get a really small flash movie that sits in the top left corner with a lot of blank space around it....

I could ask the user to specify resolution before entering the flash movie and then set up the layer size to match in 2 seperate html pages, but that is a bit messy and assumes that everyone knows what res their computer is set to... which of course a lot of newbies and stuff do not...

so is there a way to detect a computers res and then send the user automatically to the apropriate page?

Hope someone can help (-: The Bird from Down Under

<script language=javascript>
function getRes(){
var theHeight = screen.height;
var theWidth = screen.width;
}
</script>
