Alright, a little bit better, but still not perfect:
I figured out that you can force the height to a certain dimension and stretch the .swf, while leaving the width at 100% so not to break the widget padding.
Here's what I'm using now:
Code:
$flashWidth = '100%';
$flashHeight = '275px';
The only down side, is if you use a (narrow) low resolution monitor, it will still force the widget to be 275 px high. So if it is 150px wide, it is STILL going to be 275px high. (Which doesn't look too good.) But at least for the rest of the world with wider monitors, it looks a lot better than tiny text.
Hope that helps someone.
If ANYONE knows of a BETTER way to enlarge this without screwing up the display at different resolutions, please let me know.
Thanks!
