Hi guys. I'm a developer, currently working on some flash applications which are loaded into different html pages. I noticed this weird issue with large resolution screens on windows, where the operating system automatically applies a zoom level on the entire desktop and all the applications. These settings are available if you do the following on your windows machine: Right click on desktop -> Screen resolution -> Make text and other items larger or smaller. My dev machine uses a large display, so my zoom level is set at 100%, but on my Windows Surface, that zoom level is set at 150%. The problem I have is that, when testing html pages with embed flash objects, on my Surface the flash content appears scaled down. Basically, the entire page seems to be scaled up with the OS zoom level, EXCEPT for the flash content.

Any idea if or how I can fix this? keep in mind i need a solution for my client's computer, not my own, so it needs to be something from javascript / html / flash ..

Thank you
