Put up my site and everything looks good in safari but firefox opens up TINY! or it starts fine and then starts shrinking! Same with IE browsers. Am I missing something?? I can't even see it really if I open it in firefox. HELP!
 
Welcome to the world of web design. You should start by validating your code and css. Should be a good start. After that, you'll have to tell us a bit more because we'd just be guessing.
 
My site was built entirely in Flash. I added the flash to my dreamweaver html and index. Then uploaded. Would it help to show the code from DW?

I think it would also help if you put it online. Try 000space as a free host.

The HTML might actually have a clue. I remember a thread here about Flash movies being very small and unreadable. It was a result of the width/height not being set correctly. In the HTML, the height looks to be set at 99%, but 99% of what? It's likely calculating this to be smaller than you're wanting to. Try setting the body's height to 100% and see if it makes a difference or use a fixed height, e.g., 600px.
 
still having some issues here.. hmm
i set my size as a fixed number, ie. 1280 x 960 and it's not what i am going for. I set the % to 100 for height and width but firefox is still not opening to full screen. Is there anything I can add to my html or any code so that I can get this to up properly on different browsers and screen resolutions?? In dreamweaver I played with the scale options but nothing was coming out correct for all browsers. Any ideas or help??

Thanks!

Use swfobject for embedding the swf.
They also have a convenient AIR app for generating the html and javascript code.

BTW, is this for a liquid GUI?
Otherwise, you should probably specify the actual stage dimensions.
