this problem was raised just a few days ago. ie 4.5 on mac seems to add an

unpreventable gap at the top of pages with flash movies on them. i tried all

kinds of body tag, frameset, and movie parameter combinations (including no

frameset at all), and finally had to conclude that the gap just can't be

removed. (just a note on the rest of this thread: other people who tested and

reported no problems were not using ie 4.5 on mac...).


jd's response (from macromedia) on the issue was to suggest we send a problem

report to microsoft. i think his suggestion was well intentioned, but it

seems to me that macromedia would have much better clout with ms than i or

any other single individual would regarding the problem. at the very least it

would be nice if mm could indeed test and verify the bug, and write a

technote about it if they cannot find a solution. (yes, it may be microsoft's

fault, but it's flash developers who need backing from an official documented

source when they explain to a client that the gap ain't going anywhere...).


fwiw the "fill the window" method does work on the other major browser

version/os combinations...
