Re: FLASH: Netscrape 4.7 adding unwanted space around multiple SWFs embedded in a table...

[Scott Rouse]

I have found that things place themselves randomly in Netscape.  If you

resize the window you will find after it refreshes itself things are just

slightly different...but I agree that this shouldn't be happening with

tables...strict layout is the only point of tables.  I may have two

insights........Make sure none of the images are placed in the table as a

background image instead of just a regular embed.  There is a difference

between where Net places backgrounds and where IE does.  Thats why you don't

see many sites that have multiple frames with a single coherent image spread

behind a couple frames with a flawless seam (I've tried it again and

again...Images don't go all the way to the edge of a window.).  The only

other thing I would suggest which you may have done is check to see if the

Object tag and the Embed tag have the same numbers for size, scale etc.

That would explain the browser differences...or make sure that there is no

padding by setting it to zero (but this is a rather desperate voodoo path).


Good Luck


Scott
