Flash Questions

Hi there,

I'm working on a couple of application's that work's with flash files and I've got a couple of question's. I hope you can help me out here :)

Firstly, Does anyone know how to get the actual size of the Movie, (Width/Height) either from the file or I suppose via a property query?

Secondly, I would like to do something that uses a flash file and plays it on the desktop, does anyone know how to shape a form to a playing SWF?

Thirdly, I would like to resize a playing Flash file when the form is resized. So far the only way I've found of doing this is stopping and starting the SWF Movie during the resize. Obviously this is not an ideal situation so if anyone has a better way I'd be very grateful.

And the final question. I've seen a few SDK's for the SWF format around, but they all seem very expensive. Does anyone know of any Opensource or free ones?

Any help would be great and I'd be very thankful.
