Maybe one day video has been pulled from streaming; It's being replaced with a video with my own vocals I can use, and a proper 16:9 resolution. If you were wondering where it went, dont worry; It'll be back up on vevo/youtube within a week Im hoping (if not sooner). Hopefully this trend of singing continues, and I'll redo all the videos at some point.
You can watch the video before it goes up here
I hope you enjoy the new video
Take Care.

Edit: An example of resizing your flash videos to widescreen:
Swivel has a bullt in ratio function when you enter the height x width, so as long as your movie falls within reasonable numbers, it will find the second value when entering (e.g. width), for you.
I wanted to make a post real quick.
Some of my videos on my youtube channel get resized to 16:9 with bars along each side, because the movie is too small. Flash MX's default setting has the stage set at 550 x 400, which is something like 13:10; My math could be very wrong. (1.5 ^ 10 = 38). All my videos have been 550 x 400 and then resized by multiplying _root._xscale to something like 145 (797x580) Aspect ratios for most videos and games were something like 320x240 then grew to 640 x 480 in games like MvC2.
Widescreen is 16:9, so similar resolutions for those could be 320:180, or 640:360
You can resize your resolutions this way:
640 x 9 / 16 = 380
Or this way:
640 x 3 / 4 = 480
The formula is something like "Width" x "new Height / "new Width" = "Height"
or "Width" times "3" divide by 4 = Height e.g. ( 320 x 3/4 = 240)
To find the aspect ratio you take 640 and divide 1.5 ten times or like (1.5 ^ 10) which is 38.
640 x 4 480 x 3
Code to Resize your movie could be something simple like:
Frame(1) _root._xscale = 145 _root._yscale = 145
and changing the Movie properties to:
Height x 1.45 Width x 1.45
Pick a new value in Pixels (e.g 800)
If you want to find the percentage for your new size, try:
800 x 100 / 640 = 125
and to find the ratio'd height
800 x 480 / 640 = 600
The above checks out because 480 x 1.25 is 600 (old default desktop resolution for windows in 1998 was 800 x 600)
I'm really stupid and im sorry for reflecting on this but I thought it was pretty important.
Edit-iii:
"Current Height x 9 / 16 = "New Width"
I hope this helps someone
