>Does this script close the opening window

Maybe if a previous site has given the window the name 'flash' it would -
to avoid this you could also put as an attribute of the body tag in the
window with the opening script:

<body onload="window.name=notFlash">

or give your new window an esoteric name like 'myDutchUncleSuzie'

It seems to happen only with certain parameters or combinations of
parameters for embedding the swf - the "scale" and "width" and "height"
ones.

As an example check out http://www.eye4u.com/ - the movie is supposed to
fill the window from top to bottom - in IE4.5 Mac, swf is many pixels lower
than it's supposed to be, and the bottom is cut off - resize your window to
different aspect ratios and you will see the problem. I'm getting this
problem with a flash movie in frameset row as well.
