Re: FLASH: flash disappears sometimes (netscape)

[Willem van den Goorbergh]

Hi Helen,

I've had it once.

I delivered the .swf + the object embed tag telling to scale the swf 

to the space provided.

The client put this in a cell in a nested table and the movie 

disappeared in Netscape but not in MSIE.

It appeared that in the HTML code the client mixed absolute and 

relative table and cell widths. After changing everything to absolute 

widths the problem disappeared.

HTH,

Willem
