How do to resize flash dimensions via actionscript?

Question

If you include a flash file via:

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

Are you able to collapse or expand the dimensions to 100x100 or 1000x1000 for example via action-script without HTML, JavaScript or anything apart from the flash file itself?

Answer 1

In short, no. You might be able to use ExternalInterface to fire javascript at the DOM (assuming SWF and webpage originate from same domain), but pure Actionscript? No.
