I'm creating a flash application that makes use of both the dropShadow filter and scaling of various sprites. And therein lies the problem: This filter supports Stage scaling.

I am trying to build a flash player for my company's Shoutcast server, and have seen a few articles about it on the 'net, including this SO question here.

I am creating a site in flash that is reading in entries from a database. I want the swf to expand downward on the html page so the user can use the browser scroll bars to see all the content.
