SWF displaying the wrong size

[Greven]

I have embeded a movie file inside of a div tag, but whenever it is rendered by both IE and FF, the movie shows a white border on the sides for 15 px each.

The embeding code is such:

 <div id="banner">
 <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="header.swf" width="897" height="130">
  <param name="movie" value="header.swf" />
 </object>
 </div>

The movie is 897 x 130 according to Flash MX 2004, and if I display it in the flash viewer it is the right size.

Any ideas as to why I would be getting the white border on the sides? It's almost like I am setting the width wider than the movie is so it has to add in filler content.

I had this problem a while back. Make sure that the width and height attibutes are in proportion. A quick check would be to delete the height attribute and see if the unwanted white bits disapear

have you got padding set on the div by any chance? Also I presume you have actually defined the width and height of the div in the CSS file?
