Hi, Nadia.

Yes, I am on IE5/Mac. What have you noticed about the window not opening
properly? Mine opens just fine. The only problem is that the window is
too small for the content. Whether I set my monitor to 800 x 600 or 1024
x 768, I still get a scroll bar -- horizontal and vertical, although the
horizontal is only about a pixel or two.

I did notice that your window opens to 700 x 550, but your .swf is 750 x
500.

I have noticed this with other Flash sites that open in a fixed window.
I would guess that IE/Mac adds a border around a .swf that requires a
slightly larger window than the Flash movie.

My own experience, though, is contrary to that theory. I can place a
.swf in a table cell of exactly the same dimensions as the movie using
IE. However that method throws off my tables in Netscape, so I find
myself making the cell size slightly larger than the movie so the result
is the same with both browsers.

Oddly, the reverse is true in this case. Viewing your page with Netscape
4.5/Mac I get no scrollbars!

Maybe someone can help.

Ken
