I am doing a website all flash based and it looks really good on my 21'' monitor, but it doesn't fit on client's 15'' notebook!! Any idea to make it look perfect on both sizes??

Right now works only the spanish version...

this has nothing to do with the physical size of the montors but the varying resolutions to which they are set.
start by researching absolute vs. relative sizing.

If it's all vector you can just have the html scale it in the browser. But that can make fonts look a bit funny. among other things as well. but it works...
has anyone seen my pen? =/

There is no other way??
So, how do I make it scalable to fit monitor size?

put a scroll bar in

spend 10 minutes and watch full screen flash tutorial at http://www.gotoandlearn.com/ That should get you on your way. I didn't look past your frameset but I suspect that you are hard coding the swf size in your html. As was mentioned earlier it looks like your site is all vector so it should scale relatively well but might play havoc with your fonts. Nice work by the way.

Thank you for appreciations on my work.
But the thing is not really solved...because if I fit it to 15'' it looks very small on a big monitor...and will come the favourite client's question: "why so many space around and text is so small??"

split your layout in different [dynamic positioned] mc's: navigation, main_content, ...
create a Stage listener to trigger 2 or more different layouts depending on the user screen size [width].
if a browser width would still not be enough to view the entire layout you could trigger an external javascript to change the embed swf width/height attributes + change an html/body's css overflow:hidden to overflow:scroll.

ok, that's a "technical" solution which involves a lot of programming that I don't know how to do at the moment, but most of all, it doesn't preserves my design, because the distance between elements will vary unpredictably....anyway, a big Thank You!

is it only me that thinks that design is more a problem here than the browser issues. i say 'back to the drawing board'. sorry, but the concept/execution is lame.
