To make the DCR movie match the dimensions of your DIR movie, select Match Movie in the

dimensions, select either Pixels or Percent of Browser Window, and type the new dimensions
in the Width and Height fields. Your movie will resize to fit the new rectangle only if you have
not selected No Stretching in the Stretch Style pop-up menu on the Shockwave tab.
•
To change the background color of your HTML file, either click the Page Background color
box and select a color, or enter a value in the hexadecimal field.
The Page Background setting is different from Background Color, which you specify on the
Shockwave tab. Background Color lets you determine the color that appears, while the DCR is
downloading, in the rectangle where your DCR movie will play. Another background color
option, Stage Fill Color, which you set on the Movie tab of the Property inspector, defines the
color of the Stage.
