yup. note that it's only been a problem on IE4.5 for me, not IE3 (mac). i

took about 15 minutes last week to try all the various combinations of

single-frame framesets and body attributes i could imagine, but couldn't fix

the problem. so far, the browser window filling approach i have outlined at:

colinmoock.iceinc.com/webdesign/flash/fillthewindow.html

is susceptible to the problem. IE4.5 on mac only is the only browser with

this behaviour (!never said *that* before...). 


one strangeness to note is that if the movie is set to fill the whole window,

IE4.5 places it after the gap, causing a scrollbar to appear and the bottom

of the movie to get cut off the bottom of the screen. however, if you scroll

down, the movie fits perfectly. i have heard of a really ugly hack that

detects ie4.5 on mac and scrolls the page down 1000 pixels with javascript.

yuck.


anyone else have any thoughts/experiences?
