Drag-and-Drop Resizable Flash...

[ProxRocks]

i was using an extremely similar method before you posted this...
i didn't know how to work around the "maxLeft" and "maxTop" so that the flash retains it's originally intended size, turns out that was easier than i expected, lol...

although i've seen some .swf's (the "Videos being watched right now..." @ http://www.youtube.com) that behave much better with those max variables in place...

all-in-all, this approach does seem to work fairly well...
