FLASH: strange question

[Vlad Cohen]

Hi,


I'm new to this list and I hope someone can help me.


We're trying to build some very simple flash pages with a flash movie in a

table cell of an ordinary HTML page.


It works fine in Netscape and IE on a PC, and on a mac it works fine in

Netscape.  But in IE on the mac (we've tried 4.01 and 4.5) the <OBJECT> tag

gets read as a blank space above the movie and upsets the alignment.  So

you get a hole in the table where the browser is trying to read the object

tag.  If I take the Object tag out and only use the <EMBED> tag, it's fine.

But then obviously it will have problems in IE on a PC.


The whole thing is driving me crazy - particulary now that I've asked some

friends to have a look, and they've said that on their macs, using IE,

there *isn't* a space.  I've gone over the code a hundred times, thinning

it down and cutting out white space, but it just doesn't work.  In one

case, a friend on an identical macintosh (G3 350) and with the same file,

did a screenshot to prove that on his machine there was no space.  But with

my machine I can't fix the problem.


I hope I've explained this correctly - if anybody has ANY hints about this

at all, I would really really appreciate it.  i can show you the object and

embed tags we're using if you like.


Thanks in advance,


Vlad
