FLASH: Not WebSafe colour in Flash on Windows ???

Can someone with Flash 4 on Windows please help me ??!!


I've designed a web site using #999999 (mid grey) (2nd from white on Flash

colour chart) as the background colour.


The HTML page is set to the same colour, and this works perfectly fine on a

Mac (both IE & NS) but for some reason does not look good on a PC (both IE &

NS) where there is *noticeable* difference between the HTML side and the

Flash side.  


Can someone please explain WHY ???!!!


My client is not happy with this, as "...it looks cheap", and I can't work

it out.


Is it possible for someone to create a simple dummy movie (just some text in

a single frame type thing) with #999999 as the background colour on Flash 4

Windows and post it to me ?????????


I just want to check if this problem can be removed by building the thing on

a Win PC.


Many thanks to anyone helping me.




Regards,


Mats
