Re: FLASH: OT: frames and flash

[Randy Kato]

Lining things up is one of the biggest challenges with framesets built to be

cross-browser viewable. IE will take your pixel specs and adhere to them

exactly, but Netscape only approximates and will re-guess when you resize the

browser window. Netscape is usually off by up to about �8 pixels and most often

errs toward the 'minus' meaning it's usually shaving space off the frame (when

the adjacent frame is variable in size).


Add to this the challenge of keeping Flash frames scalable and you've insured

some serious problem solving that goes all the way back to the design. If

possible try to design with NS's frameset weakness in mind -- just another

browser/platform/etc. idiosyncracy to add to the list we already have to

account for.
