You need to set the proper scaling mode for the flash object. (the scale embed property) or stage.scaleMode through AS3 code.

Here is a visual rundown of the options: (you will likely want exact fit or no border)

Let's say this is your document:

We have four boxes (one per corner), and some gray boxes that are off the stage.

Here are you options:

---

Show All:

Show all scales the content so the whole stage fits, but then you get a gutter if it's not the right size and objects off stage may be visible.

---

No Border:

This will scale it so the whole content will fill the bounds (keeping aspect), but then if it's not the exact size, you'll get cropping of the stage, see how the boxes are being cropped on the top bottom? You can change the way it aligns the cropped stage with the stageAlign property.

---

Exact Fit This will just make the whole stage fit in the area defined, but it will not honor your aspect ratio and things could looked squished/stretched.

---

No Scale This won't scale the stage AT ALL. So if the defined area is smaller than the stage, it will crop it, if larger, you'll get gutters.

---

You probably want exact fit or no border - depending on if you need the aspect ratio to be fixed. You can also use no-scale and use code to align your contents the way you want.

You can align the content several ways too using the align embed parameter.

You can adjust these in your embed code. There are also options in the FlashPro publish settings (when you click on the HTML Wrapper Format), or you can use an online tool like: http://embed-swf.org/embed-swf.php
