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

I am building a hybrid Flash/HTML site, and even though I have embedded the

SWFs into tables and hard-coded the hell out of everything (there isn't a

relative size variable in sight), there is still a small 1 or 2 pixel space

being added to the top and bottoms of the SWFs.


This only happens in Netscape. IE is fine (big surprise). I have turned all

the borders off, and have combed through the code with

magnifying glass...


Any suggestions?

Aaron,

Are you treating your SWFs as though they were seamless images?


In other words, your embed HTML source code for the SWFs should be all on

the same line with no carriage returns or extra spaces.


Failing that, start taking the carriage returns out of the table that holds

your SWFs, one level at a time. The table cell that your SWF is in, then

that row, then the whole table if you have to.


Netscape can sometimes be fussy about spaces and returns, and if I've tried

everything else then this is often my last resort. It's worked for me

before...
