Cheri,


You are truly wonderful !!! Top Ace !!


Your response helped me solve the problem, which was quite simple once I

knew - thanks to you - what the problem was.


#999999 on the PC should be #A0A0A0 and then everything looks 'great'. That

is, the HTML page colour should be set to that, whereas the .swf can remain

the same.


Now I just have to do a Mac vs PC javascript redirect (= easy) and all is

sorted.



That's the second - if not third - time you've saved my day. I owe you big

time. just drop me a line if I can assist with anything !

To JD, Marcus and Jason,


JD - Maybe this info could form part of a TechNote on the support site ?? or

even a "bug" report ??


Marcus - Many thanks, but there was no discernible difference between the

platforms.


Jason -  (and everyone else) full URL coming soon as SiteCheck. Watch this

space.

Yet another reason for me to straddle the divide and go Win. Just waiting

for my 'paycheck', coming soon I hope !?



Regards,


Mats
