Firefox / Flash Issues
Hello,
I’m having some issues with Firefox (version 2 & 1.5) & Flash.
So the story goes like so…At the top of my site I have a flash banner, above and below this banner is a small 760 x 4px graphic, sort of a border.
Looks good in IE 5, 6 & 7, Opera, and Netscape! But when viewed in firefox the is a gap, only on the bottom. I have tried a few different things to get rid of this but nothing seems to work!
I spent all day yesterday looking into it and I keep coming back to the same conclusion!!!! FLASH EMBED!!!!!!
The flash banner was and is embedded using swfobject (http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/) and I have also tried using UFO (http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/ufo/) but I still get the same!!
You can view my site at http://score-group.com, any help would be much appreciate!
Thanks and Regards,
Lemur

Have you figured this out yet?
In IE I see no gap, in Opera I see a small gap, and in Firefox a bigger gap. I'm guessing this has nothing to do with flash or the way it is embedded. It's most likely a CSS problem.
Gaps with images or embedded objects can be a problem in Firefox but the solution is simple. Just put a display: block on the embed in your CSS.

Hi Lemur,
Try adding this rule to your CSS:
#flashcontent * { display: block; }
Seems to work in Firefox.
Cordially, David.
